    Wolves 0-0 Preston

    Chances at Molineux and the City Ground.

    Preston striker Jordan Hugill dispossessed Roderick Miranda, which led to a huge chance for Daniel Johnson, who fired off target.

    Preston very much on top against the Championship leaders.

    Meanwhile, only a super goal-line block by Michael Mancienne has denied Burton's Lloyd Dyer a goal against Nottingham Forest.

    Accrington have doubled their lead at Crewe through Jordan Clark.

    Exeter's patchy form seems to be continuing - they're 1-0 down at home to Port Vale, with Tom Pope finding the net.

    Mansfield have the lead away to Newport, while Swindon lead Wycombe thanks to Harry Smith's strike.

    Coventry have suffered a blow at home to Colchester with winger Jodi Jones forced off through injury.

    Bristol City 0-2 Leeds United

    No joy for Bristol City in their bid to claw themselves back into the game at Ashton Gate.

    Jonathan Leko goes down in the area under a challenge from Ronaldo Vieira but penalty appeals are waved away.

    John TerryImage source, Rex Features

    Former England captain John Terry is off the mark for Aston Villa, turning in a free-kick to give his side the lead against Fulham.

    Bottom club Bolton lead as well, with Darren Pratley's header putting Wanderers in front against QPR. Could it be two wins in a row for Phil Parkinson's side?

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Cardiff City

    Still no score at the Riverside where Storm Brian's blustery blast has arrived on Teesside.

    Cardiff with the better of the chances so far as Junior Hoilett tests Darren Randolph with an effort outside the box.

  7. League One latestpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 21 October 2017

    Wigan travelled to Blackpool on a roll, but Kyle Vassell's goal from close range has the Tangerines ahead.

    Rochdale are without a win in their past five league games, but they're ahead against Bristol Rovers thanks to Matty Done.

    Oldham - who appointed Richie Wellens as their permanent manager in midweek - looked to be continuing their wonderful recent form when they took the lead at MK Dons, but the hosts have just equalised through Alex Gilbey.

    Sheffield United 1-0 Readingpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 21 October 2017

    Paul Coutts (19 mins)

    The commentator's curse in evidence right there, as the Blades get the goal their early pressure has deserved.

    Paul Coutts unleashes an unstoppable left-footed effort from outside the box and Vito Mannone could not get in the way of it as it hit the top corner.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Reading

    Goalless so far at Bramall Lane after the opening 15 minutes, but the hosts have had the bulk of the possession.

    Jaap Stam looks like he's set his Reading side up to soak up the early pressure.

    Brentford 1-1 Sunderland

    A quick response for Sunderland at Griffin Park, with Lewis Grabban netting the equaliser for the visitors at Brentford.

    Meanwhile, Wolves goalkeeper John Ruddy has made an excellent save to deny Preston's Daniel Johnson. Still goalless at Molineux.

    Bristol City 0-2 Leeds Unitedpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 21 October 2017

    Samuel Saiz (14 mins)

    A nightmare start continues for Bristol City, while Leeds are in dreamland in the west country.

    Samuel Saiz has his second of the game as he pounces on some defensive confusion and the visitors are on a roll at in-form Bristol City.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Cardiff City

    Couple of early chances at the Riverside for second-placed Cardiff.

  13. League Two latestpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 21 October 2017

    Yeovil's leaky defence has been breached early by Barnet, with Simeon Akinola making it 1-0. That is the 23rd goal the Glovers have conceded on the road this campaign already.

    Billy Kee's 10th goal of the season, from the penalty spot, has Accrington in the lead away at Crewe.

    In-form league-leaders Luton are still being held by struggling Crawley.

    Early goal at Griffin Park where Nico Yennaris has put hosts Brentford ahead against troubled Sunderland.

    Wolves 0-0 Preston

    A fairly quiet start at Molineux, with Ben Pearson's tame effort for Preston the only real attempt on goal.

    There's a break in play as Wolves midfielder Romain Saiss receives some treatment.

    Disaster for Sheffield Wednesday.
