    GOAL: Millwall 1-0 Plymouthpublished at 19:59 British Summer Time

    Romain Esse (13 mins)

    A third EFL goal of the season for Millwall's Romain Esse.

    It's a swift counter attack from the home side and Esse slots home to the delight of the majority inside The Den.

    Luton 0-0 Sunderland

    Tahith Chong's quick feet win Luton a free-kick in a dangerous position just outside the area on the left, perfect for Alfie Doughty to use that wand of a left-foot of his.

    However Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson is alert to the danger and comes off his line to claw away from danger.

    Luton are such a threat from set pieces, he'll need to be on his game tonight...

  5. Postpublished at 19:57 British Summer Time

    Millwall 0-0 Plymouth

    Pretty nondescript stuff to start this one.

    George Honeyman has been cautioned for the home side but it's two teams desperate to find some form and just ease the pressure which is building.

  6. 'Luton want to put the ball in the box'published at 19:57 British Summer Time

    Luton 0-0 Sunderland

    Gary Bennett
    Ex-Sunderland defender on BBC Radio Newcastle

    Every opportunity Luton get, they are going to want to put the ball in the box so Sunderland need to deal with that, they can't be losing the ball in wide areas of the pitch.

  7. 'Morris surrounded'published at 19:56 British Summer Time

    Luton 0-0 Sunderland

    Simon Oxley
    Luton commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio

    Sunderland are looking very likely on the counter attack, Carlton Morris has got two defenders on him whenever he gets the ball so far, Which is to be expected.

  8. Two changes for Boro, five for Bladespublished at 19:56 British Summer Time

    Middlesbrough v Sheff Utd (20:00 BST)

    Boro XIImage source, BBC Sport

    Five minutes until kick-off at The Riverside...

    Two changes for Michael Carrick from the Boro XI which lost to Bristol City.

    Micah Hamilton and Emmanuel Latte Lath drop to the bench with Tommy Conway and Riley McGree handed starts.

    Chris Wilder has made five changes to the Blades side which lost at Leeds.

    Gus Hamer is only fit enough for a place on the bench, where Harrison Burrows, Jamie Shackleton and Rhys Norrington-Davies join him. Vini Souza serves a one-match ban.

    In come Alfie Gilchrist, Sam McCallum, Rhian Brewster, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Sydie Peck.

  9. Postpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time

    Blackburn 0-0 West Brom

    First real half-chance falls to Tom Fellows of West Brom who cuts in from the right flank, across the face of the area and unleashes a low left-footed shot which is meat and drink for Aynsley Pears in the Rovers goal.

    Until that point the brightest point had been the Baggies hot pink away kit.

    Hull City 0-0 Burnley

    Great work from Mohamed Belloumi on the right hand side of the Burnley box.

    The Hull City forward tries to curl a shot into the top corner but James Trafford tips it away at the expense of a corner.

  11. Postpublished at 19:52 British Summer Time

    Luton 0-0 Sunderland

    Concern for Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris as defender Luke O'Nien goes down holding his head after an aerial clash with Luton's Carlton Morris.

    He gets some treatment but looks like he will be ok to continue.

  12. Postpublished at 19:51 British Summer Time

    Hull City 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley beat a pressing Hull City side via an excellent pass from goalkeeper James Trafford and within seconds they're on the edge of the home side's box but can't get a shot away.

  13. Postpublished at 19:51 British Summer Time

    Luton 0-0 Sunderland

    Another sight of goal for Sunderland as Romaine Mundle blazes down the left touchline and along the byline before cutting back towards Wilson Isidor who is thwarted by a timely intervention from a defender at the near post to prevent him getting a shot on Thomas Kaminski's goal.

    He wants a foul but looks like the defender got a toe on the ball first.

  14. CLOSE!published at 19:48 British Summer Time

    Luton 0-0 Sunderland

    What a chance for Sunderland to break the deadlock inside two minutes.

    Alan Browne bustles into space near the left byline and pulls back to Dan Neil lurking on the edge of the box but his first-time effort is tipped over the bar for a corner by the fingertips of Thomas Kaminski in the Hatters goal.

  15. Postpublished at 19:48 British Summer Time

    Millwall 0-0 Plymouth

    Oh, early drama...well nearly anyway.

    Referee Sam Allison points to the spot for a Plymouth penalty but then sees the assistant's flag is up for offside - free-kick to Millwall, carry on everyone.

  16. Postpublished at 19:46 British Summer Time

    Hull City 0-0 Burnley

    A win or possibly even a draw could be enough to take Burnley back to the top of the Championship tonight.

    Such is the tightness of the division and despite successive defeats without scoring a victory for Hull City could move them back up to tenth place.

    It seems you're never out of the reckoning or safe in the Championship - just how we like it.

    Luton v Sunderland (19:45 BST)

    Luton XIImage source, BBC Sport

    Tom Holmes has been passed fit for Luton, meaning just the one change for Rob Edwards from the derby day win over Watford.

    Reece Burke limped off in that game and is replaced in the XI by Daiki Hashioka, fit again after a long-term injury and deployed in a back-three.

    Just the one change to the Sunderland team for Regis Le Bris from Sunday’s win at Hull, with Alan Browne coming in for Patrick Roberts, who drops to the bench.
