Alex Pritchard has an early chance to play in Norwich team-mate Cameron Jerome, but it's too strong and runs all the way through to Bees keeper Dan Bentley.

And we're off in the final EFL game of the day/2016.

Wondering why Brentford's Sam Saunders is not on the teamsheet? 

He's tweeted from his sickbed/sofa...

Brentford make two changes as goalscorer against Cardiff on Boxing Day Sullay Kaikai and midfielder Josh McEachran come in.

In a bid to end their poor run of form, Norwich go to an innovative 3-4-1-2 formation, with Cameron Jerome and Nelson Oliveira both up front.

Brentford: Bentley, Colin, Bjelland, Dean, Yennaris, Hogan, McEachran, Egan, Woods, Kaikai, Field

Subs: Bonham, Hofmann, Kerschbaumer, Sawyers, Clarke, Vibe, Barbet

Norwich: Ruddy, Bennett, Martin, Klose, Pinto, Tettey, Mulumbu, Brady, Pritchard, Jerome, Oliveira.

Subs: McGovern, Olsson, Bassong, Naismith, Hoolahan, Ja. Murphy, Morris.

Brentford currently find themselves entrenched in the middle of the Championship pack.

A four-game losing run in November and early December has been turned around though, thanks to two wins from four.

And in their most recent game they salvaged a point from the proverbial jaws of defeat against Cardiff thanks to a late header from Sullay Kaikai.

It is safe to say this is a man under pressure.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has seen his side slump out of the top two in mid-October to 12th place in the Championship table.

The Canaries have won just two of their last 11 league matches, losing eight, and today they travel to a Brentford side three places below them in the Championship table.

We'll now turn our attention to the late kick-off between Brentford and Norwich at Griffin Park but we'll bring you reaction to our earlier games as we get it.

• Pawel Wszolek's late goal for QPR ends a run of six straight league defeats as they beat Wolves 2-1 at Molineux
• Sheffield Wednesday's Adam Reach scores an equaliser deep into injury time at Preston
• Lowly Wigan hold in-form Derby to a goalless draw at the iPro Stadium
• Birmingham come from 2-0 down to draw at 10-man Barnsley to give Gianfranco Zola his first point as Blues boss

• Bolton grab a late winner against Scunthorpe to move above their opponents into second in the League One table, with Sheffield United's earlier win leaving them top.
• Bradford City stay fifth, 10 points off automatic promotion, after coming from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against Bury, who sit just one-point above the drop zone and haven't won in 14 games.
• Strugglers Coventry City are denied their first win in eight league games as Peterborough United grab an equaliser in the 93rd-minute.

• Plymouth Argyle move top of the League Two table with a 2-0 victory over Crawley as Carlisle move up to second with a 3-2 victory over Notts County.
• Accrington Stanley secure their first win in 10 league games with a 1-0 victory over Crewe Alexandra, and move three points clear of the relegation zone.
• Newport County suffer their sixth-straight league defeat as they lose 4-1 at home to Exeter City.

And that Adam Reach goal for Wednesday is the last action of the game.

The points are shared at Deepdale.

It's all over at Oakwell after a thoroughly entertaining game in which Barnsley went 2-0 ahead through Tom Bradshaw and Sam Winnall, only for Jacques Maghoma to pull a goal back just before half-time.

Lukas Jutkiewicz then smashed home an equalising penalty after Marc Roberts fouled Che Adams in the box - an offence he saw red for.

But there were to be no more goals and Gianfranco Zola earns his first point as Blues manager.

Nearly a calamity for Birmingham keeper Tomasz Kuszczak as he drops a corner, but manages to gather it at the second attempt before a Barnsley player can get a foot to it.

That's it! QPR's run of six successive league losses is over.

Pawel Wszolek's late strike earns Ian Holloway's side all three points.

For Wolves, it's another home loss.

Bolton, who earlier led 1-0, have got a late goal against Scunthorpe courtesy of James Henry and they could be moving into the automatic promotion places.

And heartbreak for Coventry City, they looked to be taking all three points away from their game at Peterborough United, but Michael Bostwick has scored in the 93rd minute to deny them the victory.

There are also four minutes of stoppage time at Deepdale.

But Sheffield Wednesday have not had a shot on target all game.

Poor from Carlos Carvalhal's men.

David Cotterill can be deadly from set plays, but his free-kick is wide of the mark. We're into three minutes of injury time at Oakwell as Barnsley are hanging on with 10 men.

The answer is yes.

Derby finish 2016 10 games unbeaten.
