At the moment, it is difficult to see which of these teams is fighting for promotion and which may be looking at booking their summer holidays.

Stanley midfielder Ben Woods lets fly with an excellent left-foot shot from distance which is well blocked by City's Aden Baldwin.

Impressive start from the hosts.

Lewis Bate sends Isaac Olaofe away and Max Crocombe stands up well to make a save to keep it at 1-0.

That was far too easy for Stockport to get through the visitors defence.

It was a decent save from Max Crocombe initially for the Stockport goal but Kyle Wootton reacted quickest to the loose ball to score.

The visiting goalkeeper is back from helping New Zealand qualify for the World Cup with a 7-0 win over Fiji and then a 3-0 victory against New Caledonia - one suspects he's already had more to do here.

Huddersfield's Brodie Spencer thunders into back-to-back challenges in midfield, winning the first one firmly but fairly on Greg Docherty before bouncing up and flying into Kayne Ramsay on the touchline.

It's a painful one for the Addicks full-back but Northern Ireland international Spencer might just have got the ball before wiping out the man.

No foul, but some treatment for Ramsay, before a Town throw-in.

Some lovely approach play from the home side as Josh Edwards plays it to Matty Godden whose first-time touch sends Tyreece Campbell scampering in from the left of the area before seeing a low drive blocked in the goalmouth.

Town look very shaky at the back and need a couple of attempts to clear their lines.

Bradford City need more possession, and they need to go longer with the ball.

They need to put this Accrington defence under pressure.

I think of the two teams Accrington will feel as if they have settled into the game better.

A through ball is played and almost puts Crewe forward Kane Hemmings in on goal but Vale keeper Ben Amos comes out quickly at the edge of his area to collect and gather.

This is only the fourth EFL meeting between these two teams and they have one win apiece.

Three points is vital for both today so I don't think we'll find anyone shutting-up shop although hopefully that won't be famous last words.

A quiet opening.

First chance goes to the hosts.

A long throw is launched in and the ball eventually falls to Jake Batty, but the Blackburn loanee's volley from outside the box flies well over the bar and into the Bradford fans, who have made the journey across the M62 this lunchtime.

Huddersfield are all over the shop at the back and Luke Berry almost had the chance of a second inside two minutes before a long throw caused havoc in the Terriers box too.

Some response from the pretty meek capitulation at Peterborough seven days ago.

The Huddersfield players are not doing their jobs properly and it is so sloppy and laid back.

It is a great ball and a great header but a sloppy start to the game.

Jon Worthington will be going crazy on the touchline.

Well we had quite a long delay before the start of this one at Edgeley Park while referee Elliot Bell was in discussion with both head coaches and a member of the security team.

No actual reason as to why we didn't get under way on time but anyway all seems well with the world and the game has now started.

Early chance for the visitors inside 40 seconds!

A long throw from the right touchline isn't dealt with properly and there is chaos in the box.

The ball eventually drops to Ben Garrity but he is unable to make a clean strike and the ball is cleared by the Crewe defence.

We're off and running at Charlton, Stockport, Accrington and Crewe.... four whopping great games to get us under way in perfect style on a big day of EFL football.

Let's see what drama they have in store for us..

Right, the time for talk is over... it's time for some action.

Eight teams are emerging into a lovely spring afternoon ahead of our lunchtime games.

Kick-off is moments away...

Accrington Stanley make one change from the side that drew at Swindon Town last Saturday.

Joseph O'Brien-Whitmarsh gets the nod ahead of Alex Henderson, who drops down to the bench, in the number 10 role.

As for Bradford City, they are unchanged from the side that beat Colchester United 4-1 last weekend.

Irish under-21 international Calum Kavanagh continues to lead the line while Crystal Palace loanee Tayo Adaramola and Brad Halliday will provide the width from wing-back.

Bradford City take the trip across the M62 this lunchtime to face Accrington Stanley as they aim to continue the form which has catapulted them into second in League Two, five points clear of the play-off places.

The Bantams begin today on 69 points after 38 matches, their highest points tally at this stage of a season since the 1998-99 campaign, when Paul Jewell's side eventually went on to be promoted to the Premier League.

They take on an Accrington Stanley side who, 10 points clear of the relegation zone, could be forgiven for having one eye on their summer holidays already.

Stanley do arrive in today's match on the back of a solid goalless draw at Swindon Town last Saturday, but they have failed to score in any of their past four matches against today's opponents, with Bradford winning on all four occasions.

Crewe Alexandra make two changes from the side that drew at Notts County last Saturday.

Michael Williams and Chris Long come in and replace Ryan Cooney and Connor Thomas.

Port Vale boss Darren Moore rings the changes and there are four alterations from the side that lost at home to Barrow on Tuesday.

Ryan Croasdale, Mitchell Clark, Lorent Tolaj and Rhys Walters all start in place of Rekeem Harper, Kyle John, Ronan Curtis and Antwoine Hackford.
