Not too much going in the third tier so far.

Millwall took an early lead against fourth-placed Scunthorpe thanks to a Shaun Williams penalty.

The only other goals in that league have both gone to MK Dons, who lead 2-0 at home to struggling Gillingham.

It is an even game so far at St James' Park with the visitors doing their best to make things difficult for the leaders.

Newcastle have a shot through Matt Ritchie but it's blocked by Wigan's Jake Buxton.

Accrington Stanley have taken an early lead at second-placed Plymouth with a goal from Jordan Clark.

Stanley are looking for a sixth win in their last eight matches as they attempt to break into the top seven.

Elsewhere in League Two, Stevenage lead against Barnet and Notts Couty are 1-0 up against Colchester.

Wolves' early lead didn't last long. Kenneth Zohore levels for Cardiff, heading a loose, bouncing ball over stand-in goalkeeper Andy Lonergan.

The hosts have the first real chance against Burton but Joe Lolley flicks wide from close range.

Danny Batth has headed in for Wolves to give them the lead against Cardiff.

Paul Lambert's men are in fine form of late and they've started well again today.

Wigan have started relatively well at St James' Park, as Jamaal Lascelles does well to stop the Latics' Michael Jacobs getting in on goal. The early exchanges are being carried out in the hosts' half.

As well as following live text commentary of this afternoon's EFL action, you can also watch BBC Final Score as the goals go in up and down the country. Just pop up to the play icon at the top of the page.

You'll be able to enjoy the company of Chris Powell and Jason Roberts.

We want to hear from you this afternoon with your team's worst footballing season. Memories of woeful campaigns gone by can be shared via #bbcefl on Twitter.

Perhaps you may feel that said season, for your team, is this one. (Not to mention any names though, Rotherham fans...).

On the face of it, the Latics have no chance. Next to bottom in the table, seven points from safety, with just one win in their last seven matches, away to a footballing giant seemingly heading back to their rightful home in the Premier League.

Then again, this is Wigan Athletic. Four years ago they lifted the FA Cup (something Newcastle last achieved in 1955) at the end of eight years in the top flight where they regularly defied gravity, and invariably would beat the Magpies at the DW.

The installation of Graham Barrow, a 'Tics legend, as interim manager has at least given fans hope after a miserable season that has seen the departures of Gary Caldwell and Warren Joyce.

If they do go down, it won't be without a fight.

Football. Lots of it. It's begun.

Here we go then. Kick-off around the grounds in this afternoon's 15:00 BST games is coming up next.

Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby:

"We are fighting relegation and they are looking to cement their place in the top six and are still chasing the top two.

"There are different sorts of pressures on us going into the game, I think theirs is slightly easier because they are almost guaranteed a play-off spot now.

"We have four of the top six teams to come in the last eight games, so we need to try get something out of them. Anything we get will be a bonus."

With Doncaster having taken a large step towards promotion with that victory over Grimsby, they could be promoted if Stevenage lose at Barnet and the game between Luton and Blackpool ends in a draw.

Elsewhere, second-placed Plymouth host the division's form side in Accrington Stanley and third-placed Portsmouth make the long trip to Hartlepool.

At the wrong end of the table beleaguered Leyton Orient are on their fifth manager of the season, with Omer Riza taking charge for the game against Wycombe after Danny Webb quit on Thursday. Newport, who host Crawley, are a point and a place better off than the O's at the foot of the table.

Well Doncaster Rovers have done their bit, that's for sure.

Late goals from Andy Williams and Alfie May have handed Donny a resounding win over Grimsby to leave them on the brink of promotion.

With runaway leaders Sheffield United not in action today it is a good opportunity for second-placed Bolton to continue their excellent form and close the gap on the Blades.

The Trotters host lowly Chesterfield while third-placed Fleetwood also welcome a struggling side, with Swindon the visitors.

Fourth visit seventh as Scunthorpe make the trip to Millwall and fifth-placed Bradford will look to bounce back from their defeat by the Iron last week when they host mid-table Walsall.

Sixth-placed Southend, who have won their last three matches, welcome improving Oldham.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Radio Sussex:

"We can't afford to think that the teams below us will drop points and lose games.

"We've got to expect that those who are pushing hard will do well.

"What the numbers will be? I don't know. But certainly from the eight games, we'll have to win a high percentage of them."

Preston v Nottingham Forest: North End make one change, as Paul Gallagher replaces Daniel Johnson - who misses the game for family reasons; Forest also make just one change, as defender Eric Lichaj returns instead of Michael Mancienne. 

Rotherham v Fulham: The Millers make three changes, giving a start to striker Carlton Morris; Fulham also change three from their loss to Wolves, as Chris Martin and defenders Michael Madl & Scott Malone come in.

Wolves v Cardiff: Wolves make one change from their win at Fulham, as Andy Lonergan replaces Carl Ikeme (hamstring) in goal; Cardiff make two changes, as Peter Whittingham and Craig Noone are replaced by Bruno Manga and Joe Ralls.

Huddersfield v Burton: The hosts make five changes, as Dean Whitehead, Michael Hefele, Jack Payne, Joe Lolley and Collin Quaner all come; Burton make just one, with John Mousinho replacing Jackson Irvine, who played for Australia in midweek and is on the bench. 

Ipswich v Birmingham: Ipswich make three changes, as Jonathan Douglas, Freddie Sears and Brett Pitman come in for Tommy Smith, Toumani Diagouraga and Tom Lawrence; Birmingham name the same starting XI that held Newcastle to a 0-0 draw last time out.

Newcastle v Wigan: Jonjo Shelvey and Dwight Gayle return in place of Yoan Gouffran and Darryl Murphy for Newcastle; Wigan welcome back Stephen Warnock and Callum Connolly for Craig Morgan and Andy Kellett.
