Exeter's first real foray into the Leyton Orient final third and they win a free-kick in a very dangerous spot. Jack Aitchison chests it down and he's pushed in the back by Orient's Jack Simpson, who goes into the book.

Can the Grecians make anything of this?

Luton are keeping possession well and the passing is crisp.

You can see and understand what they're trying to do.

Salford should be in the lead here.

A powerful shot from Josh Austerfield from the edge of the box is blocked but spilled by Craig MacGillivray straight into the path of Salford striker Kelly N'Mai.

With the keeper prone and the goal gaping, N'Mai somehow manages to hook it over the bar from no more than six yards out.

They may rue that one later.

We're in the age of the long throw at the moment and it's Blackpool's turn to hurl one into the box. They certainly cause a bit of chaos now and again.

It ricochets around the area before Burton can hack it clear.

Tricky conditions at Sincil Bank thanks to the tail-end of Storm Claudia and neither George Wickens or Thimothee Lo-Tutala in the opposite goal has been called into action in the opening stages.

Early sight of goal for the visitors as Joe Rafferty's throw from the right is worked back to him to fire in a wonderful cross on the volley.

Jordan Hugill meets it at the back stick with a downward header, but Hatters keeper Josh Keeley is able to grab the slick ball diving to his left.

So far it's so much better from Lincoln, and it's great to see them asking the goalkeeper questions already.

The manager spoke pre-match about recent games being too passive, but they've started on the front foot here.

Plenty of possession in these opening stages for Leyton Orient - 80% to be precise - but little in the way of goalmouth action at Brisbane Road just yet.

Burton Albion have made a fairly bright start at the Pirelli Stadium and their fans are in fine voice.

The Brewers win a corner on the left and knock it short along the deck to Tyrese Shade inside the box but he's crowded out.

A long throw then comes in from the left, but once again, Blackpool clear.

A very bright start from the hosts with Rushian Hepburn-Murphy forcing a save at his near post from Salford goalkeeper Matt Young inside the first 60 seconds.

Positive start from the hosts as Ruari Paton nods a Kyle John cross into the path of Devante Cole in the box, but he's crowded out by the Chairboys defence at the expense of a corner.

Charlie Webster has a chance to put in a delivery for Burton from a free-kick in a promising position about 30 yards from goal... but he sends it over everyone and straight out of play.

Richie Wellens was clearly unimpressed with what he saw from his side when they were thrashed 4-1 at Wycombe last weekend.

The O's boss has made four changes this afternoon with Omar Beckles, Josh Koroma and Azeem Abdulai all dropping to the bench, while there is no Tom James in the squad.

Tayo Adaramola, Jack Simpson, Demetri Mitchell and the manager's 22-year-old son Charlie Wellens come into the team.

With midfielder George Saville suspended and also away with Northern Ireland, Jerry Yates is handed his first Hatters start under Jack Wilshere while Jacob Brown is on the bench for the first time this season after injury .

Yates and Cohen Bramall start against their former club while the Millers are without Sam Nombe who suffered an injury in training.

Franco Ravizzoli is starting between the sticks for Blackpool this afternoon with Bailey Peacock-Farrell away on international duty with Northern Ireland.

Hayden Coulson and Josh Bowler are also both out injured for the visitors.

Lee Evans and Zac Ashworth have come in for the Tangerines, who are sporting an interesting purple number.

An early ball is hurled in from a long throw for Burton but Blackpool are able to bring it away before Jordan Brown's cross is well gathered by Brad Collins in the home goal.

A lot of chat about Lincoln potentially going top and Doncaster being bang out of form but today's game is also notable as it's a 700th career league appearance for Billy Sharp.

The Rovers forward, who turns 40 in February, scored his third goal of the season in his most recent away game, taking him to 261 for his career... how he, and Grant McCann, would love another one, or more, this afternoon at a wet and wild LNER Stadium.

The time for talk is over, we have 16 of today's 17 games kicking off right... NOW.

Of course we'll bring you the Gillingham v Crawley game in full at 17:30 GMT too, so don't go anywhere for the next four-and-a-half hours.

It's nearly go time.

We have 352 players, 16 referees and 32 coaches coming out of the tunnel up, down and across the land.

Not the nicest of days, but hopefully the football will brighten our afternoon.

Kick-off is fast approaching...

Harrogate's bench at Notts County today has room for a few with only goalkeeper Mark Oxley, young defender Marcus Etherington and striker Shawn McCoulsky named.
