    Wolves v Aston Villa (17:30 GMT)

    Much like love of the late Brian Clough somehow brings together the supporters of Nottingham Forest and Derby County when those two teams meet, Graham Taylor's death will no doubt have a similar effect on Wolves and Villa fans.

    That said, once the game kicks off the passions will rise and this derby will come to life.

    Let's have a look at the teams...

    Wolves and Villa fans have the chance to honour former manager Graham Taylor with a minute’s applause prior to kick off.

    There will also be a floral tribute led by three of Taylor’s former Villa players, Tony Daley, who he later signed for Wolves, and former Wales internationals Rob Edwards and Mark Delaney.

    Daley and Edwards are part of Wolves' current backroom team, while Delaney is now Villa's under-23 coach.

    Former West Bromwich Albion academy boss Dan Ashworth, now the Football Association's technical director, will also take part.

    Wolves’ press office have worked round the clock to add a four-page tribute to the matchday programme, while the flags at Molineux have been flying at half mast since the news of Taylor’s passing was announced on Thursday.

    Wolves v Aston Villa (17:30 GMT)

    And so, after an afternoon of drama and excitement, we come to our final game.

    It is fitting that two clubs - Wolves and Aston Villa - who were blessed by the presence of Graham Taylor as manager, will meet today in the week in which the former England boss died, aged 72.

    There will be tears, there will be fond memories and most of all utmost respect for a figure whose presence will be sorely missed.

    Elsehwere in the EFL, three newly appointed managers made their bows this afternoon - with mixed results.

    John Sheridan enjoyed a happy return to Boundary Park with Oldham Athletic, beating Gillingham 1-0 thanks to a Josh Law free-kick.

    Elsewhere, Kevin Nolan's managerial career kicked off with a point, ending Notts County's 10-match losing run with a 0-0 Nottinghamshire derby draw against Mansfield Town.

    Justin Edinburgh had a baptism of fire in his first game as Northampton boss, his side were beaten by promotion-chasing Scunthorpe at Sixfields.

    Brentford 1-2 Newcastle

    Jota almost equalises for Brentford but Karl Darlow produces a fine save to deny him. The amount of times he's rescued Newcastle today...  

  11. Scunthorpe's late heroics?published at 17:01 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Scunthorpe can close to within a point of Sheffield United at the top of League One after Josh Morris' late goal puts them 2-1 up against Northampton.

    With Sheffield United losing at Walsall, Bolton drawing at Swindon and Shrewsbury beating Bradford, it's a good day for the Iron so far.

    Rochdale's unbeaten run remains intact as it stands, but their five-match winning streak is set to end with a 1-1 draw against Southend. 

  12. FULL-TIMEpublished at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Rotherham 2-1 Norwich

    What a result for Rotherham United.

    Paul Warne in his first match since being given charge until the end of the season will be delighted with the fight shown by his side. Could they pull off the greatest of escapes?

  13. Nine (yes, nine!) minutes of stoppage timepublished at 16:59 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Brentford 1-2 Newcastle

    We're in for a late finish at Griffin Park...

  14. MISSED PENALTY & FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Preston 2-0 Brighton

    Maxwell saves it from Tomer Hemed! The referee blows his whistle and Preston fans are rather happy with their side's display.

    That ends Brighton's 18-match unbeaten run and Newcastle are going top.

  15. PENALTY (Brighton)published at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Preston 2-0 Brighton

    Preston keeper Chris Maxwell gives away a penalty to Brighton with what will surely be the last kick of the game.

    With the Canaries losing at the Championship's bottom club, the "We want Neil out" chants have started among the Norwich fans.

    Alex Neil's side are seemingly going to drop eight points off the play-off places.

    Fernando Forestieri

    Game over in the Yorkshire Derby.

    We're getting close to full-time. Any late drama?

    GOAL: Brentford 1-2 Newcastlepublished at 16:44 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2017

    Daryl Murphy

    In only his second league match for Newcastle Daryl Murphy has scored his first league goal for the club.

    And what an important one it could be - potentially sending them to the top of the table.

    The Republic of Ireland striker heads home Ayoze Perez's cross and Rafa Benitez's side look like they'll finish tonight above losing Brighton.

    Birmingham 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    Birmingham striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has the ball in the net, but it's ruled out for offside... but there's been a huge goal at the top of the table...
