    No wins in five and three defeats in four. It's not been a great few weeks for Fuham manager Slavisa Jokanovic.

    Last season they played some of the best football in the Championship and were unlucky play-off semi-final losers against Reading.

    Just four league wins from 16 so far this season. Is pressure building on the Serbian boss?

    Things had been looking very rosy for Derby up until the 4-2 home pasting at the hands of Reading last time out.

    An eight-match unbeaten run came was rudely ended after a dreadful start against the Royals saw them 2-0 down in 13 minutes.

    But Gary Rowett's men have eight points from four unbeaten away games, conceding just three goals in the process.

    Rowett has never lost against Fulham in six games as a manager. Can the Rams return to form and preserve that record today?

    League Two headlines

    Luton hit seven at home against Cambridge to move up to second place in League Two.

    Danny Hylton grabbed a hat-trick, and Elliott Lee a double. But Elliott's brother Olly had the pick of the bunch, scoring from well inside his own half.

    Jorge Grant was once again the hero for Notts County, netting twice as the League Two leaders beat Cheltenham 3-1 at Meadow Lane.

    Accrington drop to third on goal difference, but it could have been worse had substitute Mallik Wilks not found a late equaliser.

    Bottom club Chesterfield earned just their fourth league win of the season, beating high-flying Exeter, while Craig Mackail-Smith scored a hat-trick in Wycombe's 4-0 succeess against Crawley.

    Sunderland 2-2 Millwall

    Bottom-of-the-table Sunderland have done it. Their 2-2 draw with Millwall sees them become the first league team in the history of English football to fail to pick up a victory in 20 consecutive home games in all competitions.

    Not a great piece of history, that.

    It certainly gives Chris Coleman plenty to work on when appointed manager.
