A great chance for Birmingham City goes begging as Greg Stewart's excellent cross into the middle finds Jonathan Grounds, but the left-back fires over the bar.

Derby are very much on top against second-from-bottom Wigan, as you'd expect from play-off hopefuls.

Johnny Russell has just gone close with a strike from outside the area, as the Latics don't look like ending this five-game losing run at the moment.

We're still waiting for our first goal of the afternoon in League One where, arguably, the game of the day sees third-place Bolton take on now second-place Scunthorpe after Sheffield United's earlier win over Northampton Town sent them top.

The two lowest placed teams in the League, Coventry City and Oldham are also facing tough away trips against Peterborough United and Fleetwood Town respectively, but no scores in their games so far.

Helder Costa has the first chance for the hosts at Molineux, firing over with a first-time shot after the ball sits up in the box for him.

No goals anywhere in the EFL in our 15:00 kick-offs. Surely that's got to change shortly?

An early scare for Birmingham City as right-back Jonathan Spector's clearance is blocked and sneaks just wide of Tomasz Kuszczak's post, gratefully.

Che Adams then has a strike for Blues, but it is also wide of the mark.

Don't forget, we want to hear your thoughts as this afternoon's action unfolds.

Barnsley fans probably won't want 2016 to end.

Two trips to Wembley and two wins in the calendar year have given the Tykes the League One play-off trophy and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and Paul Heckingbottom's side are currently 10th in the Championship.

Today, they host a Birmingham City side yet to win under new manager Gianfranco Zola, after Gary Rowett's controversial dismissal as Blues manager.

Heartbreak for Cambridge United as Ollie Palmer equalises for Leyton Orient in injury time to earn the O's a point with a 1-1 draw at home to play-off hopefuls.

After Doncaster's draw against Mansfield in the early kick-off, Plymouth and Carlisle can go above them into League Two's top spot today with victories over Crawley and Notts County respectively.

Scrap that, Kieron Freeman has put the Blades in front at Bramall Lane. 

Sheffield United are heading to the top of League One with Scunthorpe and Bolton kicking off in a few minutes.

Charlton have levelled very late on at Southend in League One with Andrew Crofts smashing in an equaliser in the 89th minute.

It's still goalless between Sheffield United and Northampton and in League Two, Cambridge remain in front at Leyton Orient.

Fresh from a masterclass in how to achieve victory away from home, against Newcastle on Boxing Day, Sheffield Wednesday are sixth in the Championship.

Wednesday have won five of their last six matches, including a 2-1 defeat of today's opponents Preston at Hillsborough.

Simon Grayson's North End are 13th in the Championship table and their record from their last nine matches reads - won three, drawn three, lost three.

That's as safe, mid-table form, as you've ever seen it.
