    Thank you, Brendon - not a bad way to start what promises to be a fun-filled afternoon of EFL action.

    Right, no time to waste... let's start previewing some of our 15:00 BST kick-offs, starting with some team news.

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Barnsley

    The South Yorkshire derby ends all square at Hillsborough. A decent watch but, alas, no winner.

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Barnsley

    Sheffield Wednesday launch a couple of balls into the box but Adam Davies comes out to gather the second of them.

    Time's ticking...

  13. Robins back to realitypublished at 14:20 British Summer Time 28 October 2017

    Sunderland v Bristol City (15:00 BST)

    Bristol CityImage source, Empics

    When Bristol City were tonked 3-0 at home by Leeds last Saturday, they probably didn't think go on to thrash a Premier League side and then draw Manchester United at home in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

    Lee Johnson's side have beaten three top flight sides this season, and his assistant Dean Holden has clearly been trying to harness that spirit before their trip to the Black Cats.

    "It is a Premier League stadium. Sunderland are a team in transition. I'm sure, given time, Simon Grayson will probably get a promotion with Sunderland," he told BBC Radio Bristol.

    There'll be five minutes of stoppage time. If you fancy winning this one, now's the time to do it, boys...

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Barnsley

    The Tykes win a couple of corners in quick succession before Wednesday eventually get the ball clear. Barnsley, perhaps surprisingly, seem to be finishing the stronger.

    We're into the final minute.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 28 October 2017

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Barnsly

    Adam Reach has been booked for a foul on George Moncur. Three minutes to go at Hillsborough.

    Fulham v Bolton (15:00 BST)

    Stefan JohansenImage source, Empics

    We're looking at one of the Championship's form players - Fulham midfielder Stefan Johansen.

    The Norway international, who joined from Celtic last year, has been the shining light for a Cottagers side which hasn't always been firing this season.

    He's scored four and set up another in his past seven league games - watch out this afternoon, Bolton fans.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:13 British Summer Time 28 October 2017

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Barnsley

    A final Owls change sees Lucas Joao come on for Ross Wallace.

    Sheff Wed 1-1 Barnsley

    You now how I was saying that the Barnsley equaliser had sparked Wednesday into action? Hold that thought - the Tykes are going for it now!

    Tom Bradshaw fires narrowly over the crossbar, and then manages to send a looping header into the net, only for the referee to rule it out for a foul.

    This one could yet go either way.

  20. QPR lose FFP claim after three-year battlepublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 28 October 2017

    QPR v Wolves (15:00 BST)

    It's not been the best week for QPR away from the hallowed turf of Loftus Road - their claim that the EFL's 2012 Financial Fair Play Rules were unlawful has been dismissed by a panel.

    It all dates back to when the London club were fined for breaking spending limits after their promotion to the Premier League in 2014.

    It was also ruled that the undisclosed fine, anticipated to be as much as £58m, was not disproportionate.

    How much would R's fans pay to see them end their seven-match winless run today?

    QPR's Financial Fair Play claim dismissed

    A claim by Queens Park Rangers that the English Football League's 2012 Financial Fair Play Rules were unlawful is dismissed.
