A goal down against the Championship's bottom side and now a man down with around 70 minutes still left to play. Not looking good for Alex Neil's side right now.

It seems as if Nelson Oliveira lashed out at someone in the Rotherham box and he gets his marching orders. BBC Radio Norfolk's Rob Butler has labelled it "brainless". Oliveira was one of the few bright sparks for Norwich in recent weeks. What will they do without him?

Huddersfield are the ones offering more threat at Hillsborough at the moment, with Sheffield Wednesday yet to have a shot.

Michael Hefele has just headed off target from a corner for the visitors.

Reaction has been trickling in from the day's early EFL game, which Cardiff City won against Bristol City in the Severnside derby.

Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson: "I've got full belief in the squad. I feel we will turn it around. But words are cheap.

"The players have to look at themselves. I have to look at myself. We'll keep working hard together to come through this.

"There's no one hurting more than me. We work very hard every day. We stick together."

Played three, scored three. That's Amadou Bakayoko's record for Walsall against league leaders Sheffield United this season.

Every time he's scored, they've won against the Blades too. Perhaps his early opener will be another lucky charm? Maybe not, Jack O'Connell has already equalised.

Meanwhile, there's been a goal every three minutes at Bury, where Tom Nicholls' opener for Peterborough has already been cancelled out after six minutes by James Vaughan.

Brighton come close to opening the scoring at Deepdale, but Shane Duffy can only head Anthony Knockaert's free-kick over the bar.

Duffy is always dangerous from set-pieces. Simon Grayson will want to snap that out.

Newcastle United are in west London today, and counter attack from a Brentford corner, but Dwight Gayle's effort is held by Dan Bentley.

I like Dan Bentley. Always looked good when he was at Southend and now he's doing the business in the Championship.

Paul Warne was made Rotherham manager until the end of the season earlier this week and now his side lead against Norwich City.

Tom Adeyemi's great delivery into the box gives Jerry Yates a goal from six yards out. A huge start for the Championship's bottom side.

A couple of early chances Brighton which has livened up the crowd after great work by Bruno and Anthony Knockaert down the right, but the Seagulls cannot find the net.

And they're off after a minute's applause for Graham Taylor.  In the Premier League, at Vicarage Road, "One Graham Taylor" rang around the ground in an emotional tribute to Watford's former manager.

Onto the football, where will the first EFL goal of the day be, I wonder?

We're almost there in the 15:00 GMT kick-offs. Good luck to all your teams, even though you can't all be winners obviously...

Before all of our games in the EFL today a minute's applause will be held to remember former England, Watford and Aston Villa manager Graham Taylor, who died this week, aged 72.

The EFL has also given clubs the option of letting their players wear black armbands during this weekend's fixtures.

Having seen all the tributes paid to him this week, football has lost one of its genuine nice guys.

Kevin Nolan's first game in the Notts County dug-out ends with a 0-0 draw against Mansfield in a Nottinghamshire derby.

No goals and not a lot of chances but there as least an end to the losing run for the Magpies support.

Fresh from their Anfield FA Cup heroics, promotion-chasing Plymouth Argyle come back down to earth with the visit of Stevenage to Home Park.

Barnet can do themselves and the Pilgrims a favour with victory against leaders Doncaster Rovers who travel to the Hive.

In-form Colchester have won their past five games, that record will be tested by the league's bottom side Newport County.
