George Maris so close to the opener, applying a lovely glancing header from a curling right-wing cross which flies across the goal of the flat-footed Joe Whitworth, but thuds the base of the post on its way behind for a goal kick.

Another good stop at his near post using his legs by Stags keeper Liam Roberts.

Defender Ed Turns was the man who controlled a deep cross on his chest and took on the angled shot from the left as Exeter begin to get a foothold after a low-key start to this one.

Albion now have the rest of the game against ten men and we just talked about it, who is going to but assert their authority over the game?

Now, Albion have the chance to do that.

It didn't look like a red card.

Swindon have a great chance to double their lead.

In comes a corner and James Ball is there to meet it but he puts his header over the bar.

The visitors are down to 10 men inside 15 minutes as skipper George Byers flies into a fierce challenge on Charlie Webster which sparks an almighty melee.

It's a nasty scissors tackle, out of control and a little high and likely borne of frustration after his own pass was intercepted in the Brewers half.

Big headache for Darren Moore now.

Having just put in a shot at goal, Chesterfield defender Kyle McFadzean now finds himself the first name in the naughty book for a foul on Promise Omochere.

Great work from City's Reece Cole who slaloms his way down the right of the area before fizzing in a low cross to the near post where Jayden Wareham's first-time finish is instinctively blocked by Liam Roberts.

Bristol Rovers' set-piece is taken but ends up culminating in a goal kick and now there's a corner up the other end.

Chesterfield's is more effective as it's sent deep towards Chey Dunkley, who then nods it along to his defensive counterpart Kyle McFadzean.

He connects to send it towards the goal and has Gas keeper Luke Southwood on the stretch as he denies it by his fingertips.

The Port Vale fans are in fine voice to our right, and the drum is beating to our right for Burton.

It is a strange game, it is more of we have a go, no you have a go - no-one has stomped down their authority.

Heart-in-mouth moment for City keeper Joe Whitworth who is closed down fiercely as he tries to clear his lines in his own six yard box, only for the blocked ball to be cleared by his defence.

Whitworth was caught out in similar fashion in the midweek EFL Cup defeat at Cheltenham.

The home side are dominating the possession stats, but it's a visitor who earns the first shot on target.

Ellis Harrison finds the ball in the centre of the box but can't generate much power and just prods it straight into the gloves of Spireites keeper Zach Hemming.

The Gas attack isn't over either as they also earnt themselves a nice-looking free-kick in Chesterfield's half.

More threat from Vale as another ball into the mixer from Ryan Croasdale is nodded down to Lorent Tolaj who sees a first-time shot into a forest of legs charged down by unfortunate teammate Ronan Curtis.

Just a glimpse of goal for the visitors as a long diagonal ball is nodded back into the area, but the bouncing ball just evades the lunge of Lorent Tolaj eight yards out, rolling through to the grateful Jordan Amissah to gather.

Pretty end-to-end stuff in these early stages but neither side have carved out a real chance yet.

Chesterfield's Vontae Daley-Campbell's run up the right looks like it could offer some threat though and even when he's taken to ground, he's soon back up on his feet.

This time the home side aren't able to capitalise as the balls falls to Rovers feet and the flag goes up for an offside call anyway.

It is a really small pitch here at Burton Albion, and the ball is going from one side of the pitch to the other very quickly.

You don't think anyone will be in possession for too long.

Bright start from the visitors, despite their dark blue away strip.

Luke Bolton does well to win a corner down the right and Jamie McDonnell rises highest to glance on a header which Grecians keeper Joe Whitworth helps over his crossbar.

Time to get started!

The 12:30 BST kick-offs are underway.

The hype music blares out as our eight teams head out of the tunnel on what is a decidedly cooler Saturday lunchtime than we have seen in the past couple of weeks.

Kick-off is moments away...
