    Remember this? 

    On 3 December, Preston forwards Eoin Doyle and Jermaine Beckford were sent off against Sheffield Wednesday for fighting each other on the pitch.

    Well, it's the reverse fixture today, and Beckford will miss out through suspension, not for fighting Doyle, but for being sent off just three minutes into his return from that ban.

    Naughty Jermaine...

    Wolves boss Paul Lambert has named an unchanged side after Wolves' 3-2 Boxing Day win over Bristol City.

    Ian Holloway's return to QPR has not gone as he would have hoped so far.

    The 53-year-old returned to Loftus Road for a second spell in November, but he has lost six of his seven matches in charge, including against today's opposition Wolves.

    Under Paul Lambert, Wolves have steadied themselves and have won three of their last five matches in games which have seen 21 goals go in.

    So we could well be in for an entertaining afternoon at Molineux.

    Now the Championship's first game of the day is done and dusted, let's take a closer look at the rest of the 15:00 kick-offs...

  5. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:26 Greenwich Mean Time 31 December 2016

    Huddersfield 1-1 Blackburn

    Well, well, what a finish to the match at the John Smith's Stadium and a moment of magic from Terriers forward Nahki Wells.

    Danny Graham had given Blackburn a shock lead against the run of play, before Wells' super free kick in the fourth minute of injury time.

    Huddersfield climb a place to fourth, Blackburn remain in the relegation zone.

    Huddersfield 1-1 Blackburn

    Un. Be. Lievable. Huddersfield level deep into stoppage time!

    Having missed chance after chance, Nahki Wells lines up a free-kick just outside the area and bends it into the top corner.

    It's no more than the hosts deserve, but completely shattering for Blackburn and Owen Coyle.

    Rovers boss Owen Coyle is going absolutely bonkers on the touchline as the fourth official holds up five minutes injury time.

    Plenty of time for another goal.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 87 mins

    Huddersfield 0-1 Blackburn

    Defender Mark Hudson replaces Dean Whitehead as Huddersfield make their final change.

    And what's this?! Hudson has gone up front with fellow defender Michael Hefele. I'm not sure what the Terriers' formation is now, but it looks like 0-0-10.

    Wes Brown is also on for Blackburn to shore things up, replacing goalscorer Danny Graham.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Blackburn

    Huddersfield pile forward in search of an equaliser but Jack Payne's fierce shot is tipped over by Jason Steele.

    He's been magnificent between the sticks for Rovers today.

    Chris Lowe's effort is then blocked. How are Huddersfield behind in this? They've had 17 shots to Blackburn's two and 74% possession.

    Mansfield 1-1 Doncaster

    It's finished all square between League Two leaders Doncaster Rovers and Mansfield Town.

    Plymouth and Carlisle could overtake Donny with victories today...

    If you don't take your chances you get punished in this league.

    Blackburn striker Danny Graham gets on the end of Liam Feeney's cross and heads past Danny Ward for his ninth goal of the season.

    It's Rovers first shot on target and they could be taking all three points back to Ewood Park.

    Madness.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Blackburn

    Huddersfield just can't stick it in the onion bag.

    Michael Hefele meets Aaron Mooy's free-kick with his head but nods wide.

    11 minutes plus stoppage time for a goal.

    Derby v Wigan (15:00 GMT)

    Derby County make one change to the side that defeated Birmingham on Boxing Day, as Ikechi Anya starts at left-back, replacing the injured Marcus Olsson.

    Wigan bring in midfielder Shaun MacDonald in place of forward Craig Davies, in what seems to be a tactical move.

    Derby: Carson, Baird, Keogh (capt), Pearce, Anya; Johnson, Butterfield, Hughes; Ince, Russell, Bent

    Subs: Mitchell, Bryson, Shackell, Camara, Vydra, Weimann, Hanson

    Wigan: Jaaskelainen, Kellett, Warnock, Burn, Buxton; Power, Gomez, MacDonald; Jacobs, Grigg, Wildschut. 

    Subs: Lavercombe, Byrne, Le Fondre, Flores, Davies, L. Burke, Stubbs.

    Eight wins in nine matches. Steve McClaren's Derby County are on a metaphorical roll.

    A 1-0 Boxing Day defeat of Birmingham left the Rams one point and one place outside the Championship play-off places.

    Standing in their way today are a Wigan side that have lost five matches on the bounce.

    Warren Joyce has only tasted the sweetness of victory in one of his eight matches in charge of the Latics, and they currently sit second-from-bottom in the table.

  15. CLOSE!published at 71 mins

    Huddersfield 0-0 Blackburn

    Suddenly the game comes to life again!

    Huddersfield's Nahki Wells tries to find substitute Harry Bunn in the box but Rovers defender Charlie Mulgrew gets there in the nick of time and clears.

    Blimey, it's two o'clock already. Team news and previews from the four 15:00 Championship games are coming up as well as a look at Leagues One and Two.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 68 mins

    Huddersfield 0-0 Blackburn

    First switch for Blackburn.

    Elliott Bennett replaces Corry Evans.

    Still nothing to note on the pitch - it's been such a poor second half.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Blackburn

    My word this has turned into a snoozefest now.

    Niggly fouls, misplaced passes - the first and second halves have been like chalk and cheese.

    Mansfield 1-1 Doncaster

    Mansfield v DoncasterImage source, Dan Westwell

    League Two leaders Doncaster have pegged back Mansfield and are level in Nottinghamshire thanks to Liam Mandeville's penalty, after the forward was brought down by keeper Scott Shearer.

    That's 19-year-old Mandeville's eighth goal in 11 matches for Rovers.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 59 mins

    Huddersfield 0-0 Blackburn

    It's not quite clicking for the Terriers and so David Wagner makes a double substitution.

    Jack Payne replaces Kasey Palmer and Harry Bunn comes on for Rajiv van La Parra.

    Plenty of attacking intent shown from the German with those switches.
