Weekend's Soccer Roundup: The Reds vs The Seagulls, The Blues vs Everton and More Fixtures

Good day here in the capital, a place where the sunshine is actually shining, although by the moment we're at the interval, dusk will be descending. Speaking of which, can there be a positive send-off for the Egyptian star? And, that doesn't have to be a departure permanently, of course. He, like many players will be heading to the continental tournament, regardless of what transpires. We are waiting for the team news from Liverpool's encounter with the south coast side.

Reports from Spain, where Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Kylian Mbappe is fit to play on Sunday against Alaves. Mbappe missed the European defeat by Manchester City. Alonso stated, "We've got Kylian back, he's ready to play, and tomorrow we'll see and decide if he starts." Real Madrid are without several injured players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga.

On that local derby, one fan reported: "Hi. Bristol Rovers 0 Swindon 3 doesn't tell the half of it. Ten League defeats in a row incoming, which is one club record. Five home losses in a row is another club record... It's not much fun being a Gashead these days." For Swindon, Aaron Drinan has joined Rovers' Kacper Lopata in receiving a red card.
