Another all-action game at Vicarage Road, it seems.

Vakoun Bayo gets past Luke O'Nien and lashes in a shot which is not far wide.

We're giving them too much time, they're dominating possession.

We need to press them a bit more.

Stoke on the attack at the Riverside and Lewis Koumas finds Bae Junho who cuts inside and sees a fierce strike saved by Boro keeper Seny Dieng.

Goals galore in our three early games in the Championship but nothing doing in the early stages of the 15:00 BST games.

Who will blink first?

The Hornets are well on top at present and it's needed a Luke O'Nien block from Festy Ebosele to deny the hosts an opening goal.

The crossbar is rattled!

Millwall's Casper De Norre crashes a volley against the bar from 20 yards out.

A bright start by the hosts.

First sight of goal for the hosts as Edo Kayembe's long-range drive from an angle is parried away by Anthony Patterson in the Sunderland goal.

The Black Cats might not have found the net in the opening five minutes, but they have come closest to the opening goal as Wilson Isidor pokes wide from Dennis Cirkin's low cross into the Hornets area.

Unbeaten Sheffield United are looking for their first win at Fratton Park since January 2003.

Strictly Come Dancing star Paul Merson was in the Pompey side that day.

Another glimpse of goal for the Bluebirds and it's Anwar El Ghazi again, from a Callum O'Dowda cross, again. Another header which drifts wide of Ivor Pandur's goal.

Bright start from the hosts and Emmanuel Latte Lath has headed just off target from Finn Aziz's corner.

The home side are ALL OVER the Sky Blues in these opening few minutes.

Willy Gnonto goes down a couple of times under not much contact in the area and the referee isn't too interested.

One win, one draw and one defeat for the Whites from their three home Championship games so far this campaign.

Millwall are unbeaten across their last ten league games against Preston North End, failing to score in just one match during that time.

Preston have not won any of their last five away league games against Millwall, scoring just two goals in total over that period.

Both sides have identical records so far, both on six points, winning just one game and drawing three times.

Cardiff are the first to show at the MKM Stadium as Anwar El Ghazi has headed wide the first chance of the game from Callum O'Dowda's cross inside the opening few minutes.

Early chance for the home side as they win a free kick in a very promising position.

Big build up and... Ilia Gruev hits his effort straight into a two-man wall.

Well the 12:30 games were absolute madness, let's see what traditional old 15:00 has in store for us shall we?

Games are kicking-off across the length and breadth of the nation.

Let's dive in...

Final Score

Managerless Cardiff are heading north to East Yorkshire in search of their first win. It's a first game for the Bluebirds since the departure of boss Erol Bulut.

Steven Schumacher, Ryan Lowe, Omar Riza and Nathan Jones have all been linked with the job. Today is all about trying to get a positive response out of a squad who are underachieving, sitting bottom of the table.

Tim Walter has brought a new style and substance to Hull City. The Tigers were busy in the summer and the raft of new players are now beginning to gel and we saw a first Championship win at Stoke last time out.

The home side will be hoping to pile on the misery for their Welsh visitors who need a lift and soon - or they could be in real trouble if results don't turn quickly.

The early bird could catch the worm in this game, as Watford have conceded in the first five minutes of their last four games in league and EFL Cup.

Sunderland seeking to be top by tonight - a draw could be enough to make that happen.

Westlife, 5ive and Robbie Williams dominated the airwaves and the Millennium bug was the talk of the town the last time Sunderland won at Vicarage Road.

The Black Cats have however picked up just four points from their six visits to Watford since their 3-2 Premier League triumph on 27 November, 1999, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of them.

After a fine start to Tom Cleverley’s time in the Hornets dugout, when his side claimed 20 points from 12 games, Watford have taken just one point from their past three matches.

By contrast Regis Le Bris’s side have won five of their opening six matches for just the sixth time in their illustrious history, the other, however, was a dramatic 3-2 defeat at Plymouth in the last away game.

It feels like goals are in the offing today, but will those be famous last words…?

We have an intriguing one in store when Middlesbrough entertain Stoke this afternoon.

Michael Carrick’s side have picked up only five points from their past five matches, though they do boast an enviable home record with 18 points from their last nine encounters at the Riverside.

Their home form against Stoke is even better, with 17 points from their last five encounters on Teeside, although last season’s 2-0 win at the Riverside helped the Potters complete the double over Boro and they head north east today seeking a third straight league win over their hosts for the first time since 1958.

Stoke have lost four of their last five league games and after replacing Steven Schumacher at the helm ahead of last weekend's 3-1 home defeat to Hull City, new boss Narcis Pelach will be aiming to improve their away form, with just 13 points from their past dozen games on the road.

Stoke did romp to a surprise 5-0 EFL Cup win here under Schumacher just 32 days ago, but they have managed just one goal from their three league away games so far this season.
