Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Rotherham
BBC Sport's Seth Bennett at Hillsborough:
"Chances are few and far between. Rotherham United have set up with 10 men behind the ball and are challenging Sheffield Wednesday to break them down.
"Tom Lees' header, which went over the top, the only chance of any note so far."
Burton 1-1 Newcastle
Despite going down against Newcastle, Burton are on top at the Pirelli Stadium.

Lloyd Dyer
What a response by Burton.
A beautiful move by the Brewers ends when Lloyd Dyer slots home Jackson Irvine's cross into the box for his fourth goal of the season.
The Pirelli Stadium went a little nuts there. We have a real game on our hands in East Staffordshire.
All I want for Christmas is to be top...
Well, as it stands a pretty special effort from Carlisle United's Shaun Brisley against Yeovil Town puts them top of the League Two heap!
There, however, is a lot of leapfrogging to be had in England's fourth tier, with Doncaster's 1-0 win over Grimsby in the early kick-off putting them top.

Dwight Gayle

Perfect counter attack by Newcastle and Dwight Gayle has 17 for the season.
Matt Ritchie breaks down the wing, gets the better of John Mousinho and pulls it back to Gayle, who flicks the ball into the back of the net.
Burton had started well, but Newcastle have been very clinical.
Fulham 0-0 Derby
Tom Cairney is a man that can cause some real damage in the Fulham midfield if you're not careful, and he comes close to giving the Whites the lead with an effort from outside the area that eeks just over.

Sounds like a thriller at the City Ground...
Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Rotherham
BBC Sport's Seth Bennett at Hillsborough:
"It's been all Sheffield Wednesday in the opening 10 minutes of the game. Rotherham United are sititng so deep that Peter Odemwigie is almost playing as a central midfielder.
"That said, the Owls yet to make their possession count with a real quality chance."
Chris Brass is having a Christmas cracker of a start as Bury head coach, with James Vaughan putting the Shakers ahead against Oxford United in League One. Can they put that dreadful 11-game losing league run to bed today?

Image source, Rex FeaturesNo shots on goal yet at Craven Cottage but some nice neat build-up play from both sides, as you'd expect given the reputations they both have.
Also, the picture of Slavisa Jokovic walking past a Christmas tree at Craven Cottage at the top of this page is right up there with my favourite festive treats.
Your Christmas-themed footballers
Don't forget, we're after your Christmas-themed footballers this afternoon too.
After our initial three shameful attempts - see 14:28 for more, as they don't deserve to be repeated - the latest offering has been Aston Villa defender Tommy Elfick.
