    The visitors, without a league win this season, have started well.

    Still no goals in Wales but the hosts have had the better of the opening exchanges as they look to secure a fifth successive league win.

    Ipswich 0-0 Fulham

    No early goal at Portman Road but a word for home forward David McGoldrick.

    His wife is due to give birth today so the coaching staff have got his phone on the bench in case he gets a call.

    In the fourth tier, second-placed Swindon Town take on bottom-of-the-table Crawley Town while unbeaten Exeter City travel to Cheltenham Town.

    At the bottom end of the table, Colchester United play Forest Green Rovers and Lincoln City welcome Carlisle United.

    Last night, Notts County played out a 2-2 draw against Accrington Stanley, who moved top.

    But who will be top later tonight?

    There are a whopping four clubs in League One with three wins out of three so far this season.

    Top-of-the-table Wigan welcome Portsmouth while Fleetwood Town travel to Bristol Rovers and Shrewsbury Town take on Oxford United, who are just a place below them in fifth.

    One pick of the fixtures today is second-placed Peterborough United who face out-of-form Northampton Town. Can they move top by the end of this afternoon?

    At the bottom of the table, winless Oldham have a trip to the coast as they face Blackpool.
