Middlesbrough just seem to have gone through the gears over the last five minutes in search of a goal before the break.

Albert Adomah's cross is headed out for a corner... but Ben Amos comes and gathers well inside the area.

Another early goal in the 13:00 BST kick offs, this time in League Two where Matt Green has fired in from 16 yards to give Mansfield the lead against Notts County.

Another half chance falls for Middlesbrough. 

Emilion Nsue controls a deep cross in the area and lays it off to right-back Richie De Laet, but from all of eight yards out he smashes it over.

Jordan Rhodes should probably have given Middlesbrough the lead here.

A clipped ball in from Adam Clayton finds the striker in all sorts of space but he is unable to generate any real power or direction and Ben Amos easily gathers.

Great start for Sheffield United, with Alex Baptiste prodding in from close range following a scramble to give them an early lead at Chesterfield.

Nothing comes of the initial free-kick but the ball falls to Zach Clough and the Bolton forward opens up his body and curls an effort just onto the roof of the net.

The Wanderers have really grown into this game.

Daniel Ayala is the next to be booked after lunging challenge out wide that he mistimes.

Bolton with a free-kick on the left wing...

Superb counter attack this from Bolton.

Zach Clough with a weaving run that takes him past a couple of players into the box. As he is tackled the ball falls to Mark Davies and his inventive backhell is saved well low down by Dimitrious Konstantopoulos.

Emilio Nsue with a clumsy sliding challenge deep inside the Bolton half and gets the honour of the first man in the referee's notepad today.

Niall Maher loses possession in his own half but makes an excellent sliding challenge to win it back for Bolton.

Boro regain the ball though and Stewart Downing's deflected effort drifts just wide of the post.

We've been asking who who think it going to make it to the Premier League. Here's some of your thoughts.

A fluid bit of attacking play from Bolton.

Zach Clough and Darren Pratley involved in the move but eventually an offside flag inside the area puts a hold to proceedings.

Another corner, another Daniel Ayala header.

The Boro centre-back gets free in the area again but his header is nowhere near this time.

This is a stunning strike from ex-England winger Stewart Downing.

He takes a chipped ball down superbly and then his second touch sees him unleash a shot from 25 yards out that rattles the cross bar and comes out.

He pleading asks the referee that the ball dropped over the line but it wasn't close.

You can understand why interim Bolton manager Jimmy Phillips has tried to tighten things up today as they are still yet to keep a clean sheet in 2016.

A Middlesbrough attack, this time down the right, is dealt with and they have looked solid if unspectacular in the opening stages.

The closest that Middlesbrough have come to scoring this.

A corner from the right finds a stooping Daniel Ayala but he directs his header just over the crossbar.

We've been asking who you think have been the stand-out players in the Football League this season.

First Bolton effort of the game. 

Forward Zach Clough, the Wanderers joint top scorer with six this season, strikes a 25-yard free-kick wide of the post.

Boro are getting some joy down this left hand side, as Albert Adomah's shot is blocked inside the area.

The Ghanaian wide man then puts a curling cross in that just goes over the head of Jordan Rhodes.

A training ground pace to the game at the moment. 

Middlesbrough dominating possession, Bolton happy to let the men in red have it and try and counter when they get the ball.
