So close to an opener for Luton Town!

Chiedozie Ogbene floats a cross to the back post where he finds Elijah Adebayo whose header looks like it is saved by the fingertips of Portsmouth keeper Will Norris.

The intervention from Norris sees the ball strike the woodwork before bouncing away.

Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough are pushing hard for an equaliser now.

Finn Azaz has an effort saved by Josh Vickers, but there is no respite for the hosts as Lukas Engel sends a threating effort just wide from about 25 yards.

Bromley forward Corey Whitely almost causes Hayes Lane to erupt with an early opener to mark their first ever home EFL game. The strike doesn't get past AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper Owen Goodman though as the rebound sends it wide.

Goalless in the four early games in Leagues One and Two so far.

Marlon Pack works the ball well out to the left with a lovely pass where he finds Sam Silvera in space to run in to.

Silvera crosses the ball to Pompey's Paddy Lane unmarked in the box but Lane's attempt flies just over the bar.

Derby have suffered an early blow now, with Eiran Cashin forced off injured.

His sliding tackle to clear the ball sees him clatter in Callum Elder. Cashin gets plenty of attention from the medics and it seems that it is concussion protocols that has ended his day.

Sonny Bradley comes on as his replacement.

Almost shades of that David Beckham goal from almost 30 years ago - sorry, not a comparison Leeds fans will welcome! - but this effort by Ethan Ampadu would have been equally popular on video clips if it had been a couple of feet further left.

Ampadu wins possession inside his own half and spots Albion keeper Alex Palmer some way out of his goal, so he has a pop. Palmer was back-pedalling for a moment and must be relieved to have seen the chip fall wide.

Portsmouth are now in the game.

They have learned quickly and gotten used to Luton.

But every single one of the Pompey players will know the physical battle they are up against, that is for sure.

Incredibly sloppy play from Middlesbrough's Isaiah Jones, that led to that Derby goal.

A couple of nervous moments for Leeds' back line as Karlan Grant steals in behind to collect a ball over the top, but it comes to nothing, then Darnell Furlong hurls in one of his long, missile-type throws that Pascal Struijk has to bundle behind.

But the visitors are also threatening on the break, with Dan James forcing a corner that reaches the head of Junior Firpo, only for the ball to sail wide.

Portsmouth's Andre Dozzell whips in a free-kick which arrives at the head of Conor Shaughnessy, The defender heads the ball into the ground and his effort has to be tipped over the bar by Luton Town keeper Thomas Kaminski.

It's end-to-end all of a sudden at Pride Park and Seny Dieng is called into action by Kayden Jackson.

You get a feeling there could be an early goal in this game...

Middlesbrough have worked a nice move on the edge of the box, and Isaiah Jones tries to find Emmanuel Latte Lath with a neat low ball to the back post.

There is too much for Latte Lath to do, and he can only bundle an effort on the stretch well wide.

Luton Town have a couple of decent chances moments after each other.

Portsmouth keeper Will Norris is called into action first to stop Elijah Adebayo from close range - then shortly after Carlton Morris is played through on goal but Norris stops the shot with his legs.

All Luton early on.

Some lively tackles flying in during the opening stages, but neither side has carved out anything approaching a goal threat just yet.

Leeds collected just one point from their two games against West Brom last season and haven't had a great record at the Hawthorns in recent years.

It's been hectic in these opening minutes.

Players from both teams are quick to close everything down.

The ball is like a hot potato.

Derby's Kenzo Goudmijn spoke during the week about getting to grips with physicality and speed of the English game.

The Dutch midfielder has again looked bright early on for the Rams, but he is stopped in his tracks by Matt Clarke. I think that is the sort of treatment Goudmijn was talking about!

Derby have already seen in these opening minutes the threat that Middlesbrough can have.

Boro's striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has real quality.

A classy touch as players and fans join in a minute's applause prior to kick-off for two ex-Baggies men who passed away recently - Craig Shakespeare and Kevin Campbell.

It's about preventing Luton from being able to grab that absolute stranglehold on the game.

And Pompey finding a way to ensure they are still in it and still there being competitive.
