Leeds are still pushing to salvage something against Reading.

A frustrating day for Leeds. They're heading for a third successive league defeat...

Late, late drama at Elland Road and the hosts have a penalty saved. Vito Mannone keeps out a poorly-hit spot-kick from Pablo Hernandez.

Massimo Luongo is next to go close for QPR and next to be denied by Sunderland goalkeeper Jason Steele.

We are into injury time at the Stadium of Light.

Idrissa Sylla has a opportunity to restore QPR's lead very late on at the Stadium of Light.

He meets a knock-down pass from Conor Washington, but can't get enough power on it to score his and QPR's second of the day. Big chance.

Wigan could be heading for the top of League One, with Nick Powell's seventh goal of the season and Ivan Toney's tap-in making it 3-0 against 10-man Southend.

James Henry has given Oxford a 1-0 lead at Bristol Rovers, who had won three of their last four.

Fleetwood have equalised at home to Rochdale through Devante Cole. It's now 2-2 at Highbury and Rochdale's winless run could be extended to four league games.

Meanwhile struggling Bury look set for three points against Bradford, with Jay O'Shea making it 3-1 at Gigg Lane.

And Barnet have pulled one back against Notts County in League Two through Simeon Akinola. It's now 2-1 to the Magpies at Meadow Lane.

A nervous finish awaits for County boss Kevin Nolan.

Big chance missed for Millwall.

Lee Gregory had the ball in the net but the referee had already blown up for a penalty. Up stepped Gregory, who saw his effort saved by Brentford goalkeeper Dan Bentley.

Dramatic stuff at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland fans will their side towards victory.

Sunderland's Lee Cattermole has a close-range effort blocked. It remains 1-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining.

Remember, the Black Cats haven't won at home since December 2016. Will that wait end today?

In League One, leaders Shrewsbury could be extending their unbeaten record after all.

Shaun Whalley has netted the equaliser at bottom of the table Plymouth. Can they find a winner in the last 12 minutes to remain top?

Rotherham are now 2-0 up at home to Scunthorpe through Kieffer Moore's 10th goal of the season.

If the Millers hang on to secure what would be their fifth consecutive league win at the New York Stadium, it would be their best run at home since November 2007.

In League Two, struggling Port Vale look certain to be heading out of the relegation zone as Tom Pope's second of the game has made it 3-0 against Cheltenham.

And Newport have made it 3-0 at Forest Green through Scott Bennett. That'll be a fourth win in five for the Welsh side.

Andy Lonergan with an outstanding save for Leeds United to deny Modou Barrow.

The Gambian has been a handful since coming off the bench, and again he makes room for himself on the left and he thunders an effort on goal.

Hang on - Preston's victory isn't guaranteed yet! Fulham score from the spot through Oliver Norwood.

As things stand in the Championship, a 1-0 win for Sheffield United would be enough to lift them up to second in the table.

Preston could be the big movers of the day, going third from sixth and just one point from the summit.

A goalless draw for Reading at Leeds United would be enough to lift them out of the bottom three.

Still, we have 20 minutes in most matches remaining.

Richard Chatterton: C'mon Blades, score two more, go top. Supporting from my adopted home, Sheffield's twin city... er... Vienna.

Tony Bellamy: Can Sunderland give us fans something to cheer about today????

Mick McCarthy, away games and October clearly don't mix.

Not the greatest of omens for an Ipswich Town comeback at Bramall Lane when you consider McCarthy is winless in his past 17 away matches in the month of October (D8 L9) in all competitions.

He last tasted success when he was Wolves boss in a 3-2 win at Watford in October 2008.

Wednesday get a goal back from a goalmouth scramble. Not sure who has scored, but the Owls won't care.

Expect late Bolton nerves at the Macron Stadium.

What could be a crucial goal at the bottom of League One.

AFC Wimbledon are 1-0 up at Northampton through Harry Forrester.

The Dons, who started the day in 21st, have taken one point from the last 12 on offer and have never beaten the Cobblers in 12 previous meetings.

Blackpool have found an equaliser at Walsall through Viv Solomon-Otabor and there are a couple of sending-offs to report as well.

Wes Burns of Fleetwood has got his marching orders for serious foul play and Jermaine McGlashan got a straight red card for Southend, who are 1-0 down at Wigan.

In League Two, Luke Berry has completed his hat-trick for Luton, who are now 5-2 up at home to Stevenage.

Sunderland goalkeeper Jason Steele is not giving anything away today! He is having a blinder for the hosts.

Again, he is there to keep QPR at bay. In a goalmouth scramble, Jamie Mackie and Luke Freeman go close, but can't restore QPR's lead.

At Bramall Lane, hosts Sheffield United are the latest to hit the woodwork.

This time it is Leon Clarke who rattles the bar with a volley. Almost 2-0 to the Blades.

Chris Basham scored their goal, and didn't he enjoy it...
