    GOAL - Newcastle 0-2 Bristol Citypublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    David Cotterill

    Well, well, well. Again!

    Dreadful defending by Newcastle leaves David Cotterill to put the ball in the net.

    Incredible.

    Newcastle 0-1 Bristol City

    Good chance for the visitors goes begging.

    Bobby Reid is played in on goal but he takes too much time and the hosts clear for a corner which they get clear.

    City boss Lee Johnson will be delighted with this start.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Derby

    Still no goals at Villa Park.

    Former Villa man Darren Bent has had a shot blocked. He'd love a goal today.

    Barnsley 0-0 Huddersfield

    No goals at Oakwell.

    Home winger Ryan Kent goes down in the area but the referee isn't interested.

    Brentford 1-0 Rotherham

    Rotherham manager Paul Warne, sporting a fetching bobble hat at Brentford today, must already be contemplating relegation as the Millers were 15 points from safety at the start of play.

    Jota's goal has put the Yorkshire side behind at Griffin Park.

    Newcastle 0-1 Bristol City

    The visitors win a corner and enjoy a spell of possession after the hosts clear.

    This would be a huge result for the Robins and their under-pressure manager Lee Johnson.

    Newcastle 0-1 Bristol City

    What have Newcastle got?

    They've had to turn around games before this season and they'll need to do so again if they're to win today.

  9. League One & League Two updatepublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    Just one goal in League One so far - MK Dons lead Shrewsbury.

    League Two leaders Doncaster are trailing to an early Shay McCartan goal for Accrington.

    Second-placed Plymouth don't look like they will capitalise, as they've gone behind at fourth-placed Luton.

    Meanwhile, bottom-of-the-table Newport are 1-0 up at Mansfield thanks to Ryan Bird.

    Elsewhere, Stevenage have the lead at Crewe through Matt Godden.

    Well, well, well.

    Aaron Wilbraham, 37 years young, beats the offside trap and heads home the opener.

    Just 78 minutes for them to hold out now.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Derby

    First real chance goes to Villa.

    James Chester's header is well kept out by Derby keeper Scott Carson.

    That would have been the Welshman's first Villa goal.

    Newcastle 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City will be fairly content with the start they've made.

    It's a sell-out at St James' Park today and they want to keep those home fans quiet.

    Decent start from the hosts, who desperately need a result after five straight defeats.

    No goalmouth action as yet.

    Newcastle 0-0 Bristol City

    No clear chances at Newcastle so far.

    The hosts haven't been at their very best of late but they've kept picking up the points.

  15. goal

    GOAL - Morecambe 1-0 Grimsbypublished at 15:04 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    Lee Molyneux

    The first EFL goal of the 15:00 GMT kick-offs is at the Globe Arena, where there was a late pitch inspection before the League Two game between Morecambe and Grimsby got the go-ahead.

    Lee Molyneux has put Morecambe in front with a 20-yard shot.

    With Brighton not in action until the evening, Newcastle have an opportunity to extend their lead to four points at the top of the table.

    The Magpies have won five of their last seven games and face a Bristol City side who have lost 10 of their last 13 league games.

    A home banker or can the visitors upset the odds?

  18. League Two previewpublished at 14:53 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    League Two leaders Doncaster, who are without a win in four games, entertain lowly Accrington.

    Luton and Portsmouth have the chance to close the gap to the automatic promotion places as they both host teams above them.

    The Hatters, who are fourth and five points off the top three, welcome second-placed Plymouth to Kenilworth Road.

    Fifth-placed Pompey make the 350-mile trip north to face Keith Curle's Carlisle, who are third and have lost just once in their last seven games.

    At the bottom, Leyton Orient could move out of the bottom two if they beat 21st-placed Cheltenham and 22nd-placed Hartlepool lose at Colchester.

    Here are the fixtures (all 15:00 GMT)...

  19. League One previewpublished at 14:49 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    The big fixture in the third tier comes at Bramall Lane, where league leaders Sheffield United welcome third-placed Bolton.

    Chris Wilder's Blades would move 10 points clear of the Trotters with victory.

    Second-placed Scunthorpe travel to mid-table Bristol Rovers and could capitalise if United slip up by closing the five-point gap at the top.

    At the bottom, Coventry , fresh from ending a 15-game winless run, welcome fellow strugglers Swindon Town while Port Vale are looking to move out of the relegation zone when they entertain play-off hopefuls Bradford.
