GOAL: Bolton 0-1 Sheffield Unitedpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Cameron Carter-Vickers (33 mins)
Spurs defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has scored on his debut for Sheffield United to pile more misery on bottom side Bolton.
Winless Wanderers fail to clear their lines from a corner and the 19-year-old lashes the ball into the top of the net.
They're 15 minutes behind everyone else at the Macron Stadium - it was an 8pm kick-off. My favourite thing!

Leeds 1-0 Birmingham
Superb clearance from Luke Ayling preserves the home side's lead.
Maxime Colin's header looks to be destined to find the net but Ayling scrambles it away.
GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-1 Brentfordpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Gary Hooper (45+1 mins)
Relief for Sheffield Wednesday as Gary Hooper taps in an equaliser moments before half-time. He lobbed the keeper and then followed his effort in as it came back off the post and he was there first to finish it off.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Sunderland 0-0 Nottingham Forest
No goals in the first half at Sunderland.
The hosts have been on top, but it won't do anything to ease the nerves of Black Cats fans.

QPR 0-1 MIllwall
Now with a one-man advantage, QPR are applying some serious pressure before half-time.
Massimo Luongo goes close and then Conor Washington hits the woodwork on the rebound.
Moments later, Luongo forces another decent save from Jordan Archer. It's all QPR.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's start to life at Northampton is going pretty well.
The Cobblers won 1-0 on Saturday and they now lead 2-0 against Portsmouth thanks to Matt Crooks.
Elsewhere in League One, AFC Wimbledon have the lead against lowly Gillingham.
GOAL: Wolves 1-1 Bristol Citypublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Aden Flint (43 mins)
It's that man Aden Flint again! Or is it?
Bristol City defender Bailey Wright has a shot from the edge of the box, the ball bounces off Flint and into the corner of the Wolves net.
The big defender also scored the winner at Reading on Saturday.
All square at Molineux.
RED CARD (Lee Gregory, Millwall)published at 20:27 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
QPR 0-1 Millwall
Millwall go down to 10 men as Lee Gregory is dismised for a late, dangerous challenge on Josh Scowen.
It's a straight red. Now the Lions must try and hold on for around 50 minutes.

GOAL: Preston 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 20:23 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Josh Harrop (38 mins)
Cardiff are behind! Josh Harrop's first Preston goal is a low free-kick that seems to go under the wall, past an un-sighted Neil Etheridge and in to the far bottom corner.
Are the Bluebirds heading for their first league defeat of the season?

Aston Villa 0-0 Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough goalkeeper Darren Randolph makes a fine save to deny Henri Lansbury.
If you're just joining us, Adama Traore was sent off for the visitors after just three minutes for a foul on Conor Hourihane.

Sunderland 0-0 Nottingham Forest

Sunderland are dominating at the Stadium of Light but it's still goalless.
They've also just lost striker Lewis Grabban to injury - he's replaced by James Vaughan.
Forest are defending superbly.
League One latestpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Walsall are enduring a New York nightmare.
Rotherham are now 4-0 up, with both Jon Taylor and Lee Frecklington claiming a double.

League Two latestpublished at 20:20 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
At long, long last - a goal in League Two!
The first of the night in the fourth tier (after all of 32 minutes) goes to Notts County at home to Swindon, as Jon Stead nets from the penalty spot.
Everywhere else in the division? Zilch.

Bird Smith: Can we talk about Traore's sending off? 3 minutes gone, wasn't a red. Awful refereeing.
The former Villa man was sent off for a poor challenge on Conor Hourihane.
Let us know your thoughts on Traore's red card and anything else about tonight's EFL action.

QPR 0-1 Millwall
Ian Holloway's men want a penalty as Conor Washington goes down in the area, but the officials don't believe there was anything in it. No penalty.
At the other end, Millwall's George Saville fires just over for the visitors. This is developing in to a decent game.
GOAL: Wolves 1-0 Bristol Citypublished at 20:15 British Summer Time 12 September 2017
Leo Bonatini (28 mins)
Leo Bonatini will not score an easier goal in his life!
The Brazilian striker puts Wolves ahead from no more than two yards from a Ruben Vinagre pull-back.
The hosts have been on top at Molineux and they've cashed in.

Shrewbsury 1-0 Southend
Surprise League One leaders Shrewsbury are 1-0 up at home to Southend thanks to Jon Nolan's goal.
Rotherham are now 3-0 up at home to Walsall and Fleetwood have taken the lead against Bury.
League Two's games all remain blank.

Norwich 0-0 Burton
Burton are in need of a result tonight after losing 5-0 at Leeds on Saturday and Joe Mason probably should have put them in front at Carrow Road but home keeper Angus Gunn denied him.
