The FA Cup Second Round England's famous cup competition round two provided plenty of drama on Saturday.

Today's FA Cup action features: Slough Town v Macclesfield (12.30pm GMT start) Boreham Wood v Newport County Gateshead v Walsall Blackpool v Carlisle United Developing Mini-Leagues It appears three distinct battlegroups developing in this campaign's Premier League. The Title Race: The current leading pack are apparently vying for the championship. The Packed Middle: A very tight section contains several big names, all with designs on the top five. Will any put together a consistent form to challenge the elite? The Relegation Battle: The scrap to avoid the drop probably involves several clubs, with Wolves looking especially in trouble. Clubs such as others could also be sucked into the fight. Elsewhere in Football Away from the Premier League and FA Cup, today's fixtures feature: Women's Top Flight: (All 12pm GMT unless stated) Leicester City v Manchester City London City Lionesses v Brighton & Hove Albion Manchester United v West Ham United Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa Chelsea v Everton (2.30pm GMT) European Football: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo (8pm CET) Borussia Dortmund v Hoffenheim (4.30pm CET) The Salah Debate Continues The fallout from Mohamed Salah's explosive interview rages on. Opinion is split into two clear camps to the argument. Has he done enough to speak out as a true Liverpool legend? On the other, is manager Arne Slot justified in doing what he believes is necessary to attempt to win games? Fan opinion seems split: “United fan here. If memory serves, Salah was PFA Player of the Year 6 months ago and now he’s the main target. Not the way to treat a club legend.” “Perhaps we should pause to have sympathy for Mo Salah? He's probably overlooked that he is presently Liverpool's best-paid player... Someone hard done by, Mo, you are not.” The big question for Mo Salah, then? Many think his bridges at Liverpool may now be damaged. Will he move on loan to another European club? Or will he take the pay day and head for Saudi Arabia following the AFCON? Matches Abandoned A pair of second-tier fixtures were abandoned on Saturday. The game between Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth at The Valley was halted in the 12th minute after a fan was taken ill. It was later confirmed the supporter passed away in hospital. Blackburn's game against Sheffield Wednesday was also stopped and called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Ewood Park. Heavy rain – for the second occasion this season at the ground – rendered the pitch unplayable. There is no confirmation on when these matches will be rescheduled.
