On Thursday, it was announced that Rochdale midfielder Joe Thompson had been diagnosed with cancer for a second time.

Thompson overcame nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma in 2014, while at Tranmere, after a six-month course of chemotherapy.

Dale fans will shortly show their support for the 28-year-old, who wears squad number 15, with applause in the 15th minute of today's League One home game against Gillingham.

Keep fighting and get well soon, Joe.

On the field, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has put Dale 1-0 up.

Fulham's Neeskens Kebano has dazzled with his flipping celebration this season and he nearly had the chance to show off once again, but fires wide after being played through by Floyd Ayite.

Saturday's home banker should be QPR, if you take into account Rotherham's wretched away form in the Championship this season. The Millers have only one point on their travels this term.

Matt Smith has added to their misery by putting Rangers in front from Idrissa Sylla's pass.

Birmingham have started well against the table toppers, and Craig Gardner has fired over the bar for Blues.

Can Gianfranco Zola's side turn their fortunes around against one of the Championship's best sides?

A quick turnaround and we're under way in the 29 15:00 GMT kick offs in the EFL.

More drama like our early games will do nicely, please.

Ah, we're informed there's no time to catch your breath. We have 29 more EFL games kicking off in a couple of minutes. Here's the team news...

All over. Wow. Time to catch your breath. A thrilling derby with a 94th-minute equaliser.

Forest well on top in the first half. All Derby after the break. I didn't even say a game of two... oh.

Two 2-2 derby draws and it's as you were at the bottom of the table. Forest are still above the relegation zone by a point, with Blackburn still in the bottom three following their 2-2 draw against Preston.

Aiden McGeady's one-on-one finish has not only kept Preston in the hunt for the play-off places, but done a favour for so many teams scrapping down at the bottom of the Championship.

Blackburn remain in the drop zone after Nottingham Forest, who they were set to go above, also earn a draw at the death.

Things were looking so rosy for Tony Mowbray's side at 92 minutes.

Real drama. Daniel Pinillos is the hero with a goal that will keep Forest from dropping into the bottom three if it stays at 2-2.

He leaps highest and heads home a brilliant equaliser from Ben Osborn's corner.

Nottingham Forest scream for a penalty as Ben Brereton goes down in the box. The 17-year striker's loud protests are waved away.

All over at Ewood Park, and it ends level. What a finale!

Aiden McGeady has just sent 6,000 Preston fans into sheer bedlam at Ewood Park!

Paul Gallagher has been superb since coming on against his former club, and plays to Tom Clarke, who then slips through to McGeady and he does the rest.

North End manager Simon Grayson loses his composure a little bit and runs down the touchline to celebrate with his team.

Wow.

So, so close for Forest. Apostolos Vellios turns brilliantly and his fierce strike comes back off the post.

Forest build from the back and then launch it forward but Richard Keogh wins the header and Derby clear the lines.

The hosts go again. Three to play.
