  1. Wary Pilgrims visit Leedspublished at 14:35 Greenwich Mean Time

    Leeds v Plymouth (15:00 GMT)

    The FA Cup first round is famous for the many shocks it produces and hopefully today's will be no different.

    Plymouth coming away from Leeds with a win this afternoon might not quite compare to a non-league side knocking out EFL opposition but it wouldn't feel far off for their fans.

    The Pilgrims have won just one of their past 20 league visits to Elland Road, way back in 1962, have won none of the past 10 league meetings between the two side and haven't won any of their past eight Championship matches away from Home Park.

    Oh, and Leeds have kept seven clean sheets in their 12 league games so far this season, have lost just once and could go second with a win today.

    The first three Championship games of the day all delivered in one way or another.

    What will the next seven bring us?

    Let's see what we have on the slate shall we?

  4. 'Second half looked like men against boys'published at 14:28 Greenwich Mean Time

    Blackburn 0-2 Sheffield Utd

    Kevin Gallacher
    Former Blackburn striker on BBC Radio Lancashire

    Blackburn were second best and that was down to a Sheffield United side that wanted to show exactly what they were about.

    I though that the first half we matched them.

    Chris Wilder certainly had a word at half time because the second half looked like men against boys, their front men causing us all sort of problems.

  5. 'We will certainly take the result'published at 14:26 Greenwich Mean Time

    Stoke 2-1 Derby

    Ian Cranson
    Fomer Stoke defender on BBC Radio Stoke

    We will certainly take the result, after the first 20 minutes we played some really good stuff, but the second part of the first half was really shabby

    Stoke allowed them to put pressure on us, by giving it away a bit too cheaply and enticing them to put the pressure on.

    We will definitely take the three points but I think we could definitely play much better.

    Easy does it as Sheffield United move up to second in the table with a comfortable win at Blackburn.

    Harrison Burrows got his first for the club to put them a goal up at the break and sub Tyrese Campbell scored on the rebound soon after coming on to wrap up the points.

    Ominously for the rest of the league that is now nine clean sheets in 13 Championship games for Chris Wilder's men.

    Blackburn huffed and puffed but didn't have a single shot on target and they'll likely slip out of the top six by the end of today. One win in six for them now.

  7. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:24 Greenwich Mean Time

    Oxford 1-2 Swansea

    A first win for Swansea since September 21 and their first goals for 563 minutes.

    Oxford's first home league defeat of the season but they came very close to stealing a point.

    Zan Vipotnik ended the Swansea goal drought by converting Ronald's first-half cross.

    The Slovenian missed a good second-half chance by forcing Jamie Cumming into a fine save but a second goal did arrive 10 minutes from the end with substitute Florian Bianchini running in behind the home defence to finish well.

    Oxford rarely threatened but were handed a lifeline two minutes from the end when Dane Scarlett further garnished his growing reputation with a third goal in four games.

    Greg Leigh then headed inches wide in stoppage time but a point would have flattered the home side who didn't do enough for long enough in the game.

    Oxford are now eight games without a win and drop below Swansea in the table.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:23 Greenwich Mean Time

    Stoke 2-1 Derby

    A controversial goal and a fabulous save decide a riveting second-half as Stoke end the day with three points and Derby go home frustrated and wishing there was a video replay.

    First, Derby keeper Jacob Zetterstrom puts in one of the saves of his life to deny Bae Jun-ho's powerful header before the ball found itself on the other side of the pitch.

    Stoke defender Ben Gibson then nodded the ball to the safety of his keeper - or did he? Viktor Johansson had strayed from his position and couldn't get enough of his fingers on the ball to stop it from strolling into the net.

    Gibson then made up for his mistake by sealing the win with his header from a corner but not without controversy after Nat Phillips was sent to ground after a collision with Junior Tchamadeu.

    Though Derby had their own luck after Phillip's dangerous tackle on Jun-ho went unnoticed earlier in the match to save him for a potential second yellow so perhaps all is fair in war at the bet365.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:22 Greenwich Mean Time

    Blackburn 0-2 Sheffield Utd

    Final two subs from the away side.

    Femi Seriki and Sam McCallum are on for the last couple of minutes.

  10. CLOSE!published at 14:21 Greenwich Mean Time

    Oxford 1-2 Swansea

    Oh that's close, very, very close to an Oxford equaliser.

    It's a wonderful cross from Will Vaulks but Greg Leigh's header is agonisingly wide of the post.

    This ain't over folks.

  11. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:20 Greenwich Mean Time

    Stoke 2-1 Derby

    Derby have FOUR minutes to try and claw their lead back.

    Can they manage it?

    Meanwhile Stoke send in Andre Vidigal - looking for a third are we, Narcis Pelach?

  12. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:18 Greenwich Mean Time

    Blackburn 0-2 Sheffield Utd

    Not entirely sure where from but there are going to be EIGHT minutes of time added on at the end of this.

    Can Blackburn get a goal to set up a big finale?

    Can they at least have a shot on target?

    Hang on...

    That's come out of nowhere.

    Dane Scarlett has a third goal in four games for Oxford as he finds space on the edge of the box and sends a precise shot beyond Lawrence Vigouroux.

    The on-loan Tottenham forward scored a late, late equaliser against West Brom a fortnight ago and he's given his side hope here.

    We will have four minutes of time added on - nervous Swans fans?

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:17 Greenwich Mean Time

    Stoke 2-1 Derby

    Bae Jun-ho's head will no longer be offering any danger as the Stoke winger is off with Eric Junior Bocat jogging on to take his place.

  15. Postpublished at 14:16 Greenwich Mean Time

    Blackburn 0-2 Sheffield Utd

    Blackburn have actually had more of the possession in this game but, moving towards the 90th minute, they're still to have a shot on target.

    Sheffield United goalkeeper Michael Cooper should have paid for his ticket.

  16. Postpublished at 14:14 Greenwich Mean Time

    Oxford 0-2 Swansea

    Ruben Rodrigues is off for Greg Leigh for Oxford.

    Meanwhile for Swansea on comes new signing Cyrus Christie for his debut and off goes Goncalo Franco.

    And Swansea also withdraw Josh Tymon and Myles Peart-Harris for Kyle Naughton and Azeem Abdulai.

  17. Postpublished at 14:10 Greenwich Mean Time

    Blackburn 0-2 Sheffield Utd

    The Blades a re cruising to a win here as sub Gus Hamer forces a decent low save from Aynsley Pears in the home goal.

    Sheffield United are going second but they're yet to score three goals in a game this campaign.

    Just over five minutes to put that record to bed.

    GOAL: Stoke 2-1 Derbypublished at 14:10 Greenwich Mean Time

    Ben Gibson (82 mins)

    Derby are arguing after a foul in the box but the goal stands.

    Stoke's Junior Tchamadeu collides with Nat Phillips, knocking the defender to the floor as the Potters send in a corner but the referee's eyes are on Ben Gibson as he makes amends for his early mishap with a solid header into the net.

    Had VAR been available, it's likely that would have got chalked off. But it doesn't and Derby are once again chasing.

    Job done?

    Swansea have been very good in possession and they look to have sealed the three points now.

    Florian Bianchi makes a superb run behind the Oxford defence and when the ball is slipped through to him he shoots across Jamie Cumming and into the net.

    It's his first goal for the club.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:08 Greenwich Mean Time

    Stoke 1-1 Derby

    Stoke go on the counter and it's looking mighty dangerous.

    Derby's Ebou Adams has to take the runner down and sacrifices himself to the naughty book before it gets to the penalty area.

    Thankfully for the away end, the free kick is abysmal and is sent into the centre of the wall. Though they do get themselves another go...
