  1. YELLOW CARD

    Lincoln 0-1 Northampton

    Jack Baldwin picks up the first caution of the evening.

  2. 'The key is it's on target'

    Stevenage 0-2 Bolton

    Phil Brown
    Former Bolton assistant manager on BBC Radio Manchester

    If you hit the target you just want it to go in.

    John McAtee has hit it into the ground a bit early but it's on target and that is the key.

  3. Stockport 0-0 Reading

    Stockport looking the brighter although they had a scare when Fraser Horsfall's poor header almost gave Adrian Akande a sniff of goal but 'keeper Corey Addai collects.

    John McAtee (16 mins)

    John McAtee makes it 2-0 to Bolton at StevenageRex Features

    Wow!

    Another lofted ball into the box, another goal and it only took three minutes.

    It's headed away by Carl Piergianni but only as far as John McAtee who drives a shot into the ground but it bounces up and loops over Taye Ashby-Hammond - it's not perfect but it's good enough.

    Demoralising if you're a Stevenage player but there's time to come back yet.

  5. 'What a start for Wanderers'

    Stevenage 0-1 Bolton

    Phil Brown
    Former Bolton assistant manager on BBC Radio Manchester

    It was put into an area and Ricardo Santos, a giant of a man gets his head on it.

    What a start for Wanderers.

    Every one of the Bolton players look like they want it tonight.

  6. PENALTY APPEAL

    Lincoln 0-1 Northampton

    Northampton have appeals for a penalty waved away.

    Tyler Roberts goes down under a challenge from the Lincoln goalkeeper George Wickens but referee Sam Purkiss isn't interested.

    Ricardo Santos (13 mins)

    Richard Santos leaps to open the scoring for BoltonRex Features

    Bolton have turned up the heat over at Broadhall!

    Ricardo Santos gets his head on the end of a corner after a period of pressure from the visitors to make it 1-0.

    But wait, there's more...

  8. Stockport 0-0 Reading

    Louie Barry is the joint League One top scorer.

    The Aston Villa loanee tries to curl a shot into the top corner of the Reading net but there's not enough bend on it and it's wide of goal.

  9. Lincoln 0-1 Northampton

    Tariqe Fosu has got the taste for it.

    His early goal separates the teams and he gets another shot away but it's wide.

    Promising signs this could be an entertaining one.

  10. Fleetwood 0-0 Salford

    No time for settling in at Highbury.

    Fleetwood take just two minutes to register their first effort on goal but Ronan Coughlan's shot can only get as far as the Salford defence.

    Cods captain Brendan Wiredu also tries to capitalise on their early momentum, though his attempt goes flying north of the bar and Salford are given a second to think.

  11. Stockport 0-0 Reading

    A quiet start to this one with neither goalkeeper troubled so far.

    Mind you, when you haven't seen each other for 26 years it's bound to take some time to get going...

  12. 'Reading need a nice and steady start'

    Stockport 0-0 Reading

    Mick Gooding
    Ex-Reading player/manager on BBC Radio Berkshire

    I'm not expecting an early goal even though that'd be fantastic for Reading.

    They just need a nice steady start to the game, no dramas.

  13. Lincoln 0-1 Northampton

    That early goal has taken the majority of those in attendance at Sincil aback a bit.

    But the home side react with a shot themselves - Ethan Hamilton has a go but the former Manchester United youngster's effort is wide of the target.

  14. Stevenage 0-0 Bolton

    Bolton's Arran Collins delivers a strike at goal against StevenageRex Features

    Lively start to this one but no real goal threat just yet. Just some fast-paced exchanges as both team's feel each other out.

    Bolton's Aaron Collins goes for goal with a low attempt but it's wide of the target and fails to make Boro keeper Taye Ashby-Hammond sweat.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Lincoln 0-1 Northampton

    Tariqe Fosu (2 mins)

    That didn't take long...

    Tariqe Fosu has his third goal of the season for the Cobblers.

    It's a deflected shot but they all count and it comes after some excellent work from Tyler Roberts who gets the assist for his troubles.

  16. KICK-OFF

    #bbcefl

    Right then, time for Tuesday night to well and truly begin!

    With Fleetwood and Salford making history tonight, it seems like an appropriate time for a classic EFL tussle.

    Will we get one? Let's see...

  17. Just one change for Cods, four for Ammies

    Fleetwood v Salford (19:45 GMT)

    Charlie Adam only makes one change to his Fleetwood side that drew at Newport County on Saturday as Ronan Coughlan is rotated in for Mark Helm.

    Teenager Kayden Hughes, fresh from signing his new long-term contract, starts in the back three.

    Fleetwood XIBBC Sport

    Karl Robinson's Salford may have claimed victory against Colchester last time out but has made four changes ahead of tonight's game.

    Tom Edwards, Stephan Negru and Jon Taylor join the starting XI with Luke Garbutt and Haji Mnoga available from the bench.

    Liam Shephard doesn't make the trip but Cole Stockton, who didn't feature on Saturday, joins Kylian Kouassi up top.

    Stevenage v Bolton (19:45 GMT)

    Stevenage's Carl Piergianni and Louis Thompson are back from their suspensions and are straight into the starting line-up as part of the Boro's four changes.

    Dan Kemp and Elliott List also make the XI as Daniel Phillips moves into central midfield, while Harvey White, Jake Young, Lewis Freestone and Eli King drop to the bench.

    Stevenage XIBBC Sport

    As for Bolton, well, not a single change.

    Kyle Dempsey remains on the side lines as he awaits an update on his knee issue and, while keeper Nathan Baxter is on the mend, he doesn't make tonight's game.

    Bolton XIBBC Sport

  19. Two changes for the Imps but it's the same again for the Cobblers

    Lincoln City v Northampton Town (19:45 GMT)

    Lincoln City manager Michael Skubala makes two changes from the side which came from behind to beat Stockport at the weekend.
