    Fulham 1-0 Birmingham City

    Just the one shot at goal for Birmingham so far - none on target. That sums up their away form for the past 12 months. They'll need to create more to get themselves back on terms against Fulham this afternoon, after Sheyi Ojo's early opener.

    Meanwhile, League One leaders Wigan have managed the same number of goals as the Championship all on their own - they've just doubled their lead against Fleetwood through defender Dan Burn.

    Luton 1-0 Notts County

    Luton look a completely different side since taking the lead against Notts County.

    The League Two leaders are controlling possession and creating chances, Elliot Lee drifting a tempting cross into the box but no team-mate able to get a touch on it.

  5. Postpublished at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    So then, 37 minutes or so in, we've had just the two Championship goals - coming for the home sides at Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

    Such a drought can't continue for long... Can it?

    Wolves 0-0 Sunderland

    Nuno's Championship leaders haven't found their shooting boots so far.

    Ruben Neves dinks the ball over to Diogo Jota but the winger's left-footed shot skews wide.

    Moments later top-scorer Leo Bonatini's effort is blocked.

  7. League Two latestpublished at 15:35 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Exeter find themselves in a heap of trouble at Colchester, after shipping three goals in 10 minutes.

    Troy Archbald's own-goal is quickly followed by a Sammie Szmodics penalty, before Szmodics doubles his tally a few moments later.

    It's still goalless in seven games as it stands.

    Hull 0-0 Brentford

    Brentford turn their possession into a rare goal-scoring chance at Hull.

    Sergi Canos drives forward with the ball as the Bees launch a counter-attack, before picking out French forward Neal Maupay.

    Maupay isn't far out from goal, but from a narrow angle he can't get his shot on target.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Ipswich

    This one hasn't really come to life yet.

    Elsewhere it's also still Barnsley 0-0 Derby and Burton 0-0 Preston.

    Just the two goals in the Championship after half an hour. Stick with us, they're coming!

    Wolves 0-0 Sunderland

    Sunderland are defending in numbers - you can't blame them.

    Wolves have been tearing teams apart this season, but still no way through as they approach the 30-minute mark in the Black Country.

    Johnny Mullins (26 mins)

    Even when they aren't at their best, Luton Town just cannot stop scoring.

    Alan Sheehan sends in a corner and Johnny Mullins is on hand to plant a header into the back of the net.

    That's goal number 64 on the season for the Hatters.

  12. League One latestpublished at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Bristol Rovers - a side who haven't drawn a league game since March (no, seriously, not since March!) are winning 1-0 thanks to an early Billy Bodin goal against visitors Southend.

    Fulham 1-0 Birmingham City

    Fulham are creating chances. Ryan Sessegnon misses the latest one, air-kicking when he appeared to have space to shoot.

    Hull 0-0 Brentford

    A string of corners for Hull doesn't result in a breakthrough for the hosts, as Brentford clear the ball to safety after a cross is spilled by keeper Dan Bentley.

    Dean Smith's side have continued to see more of the ball, but new City head coach Nigel Adkins will probably be pretty happy with his side's showing against the in-form Bees so far.

  15. Postpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Ipswich

    Boro could be in front, but Ben Gibson can't quite connect with a fine chance to slot home, after a dangerous Stuart Downing free-kick.

    Luton 0-0 Notts County

    Luton may be the most prolific team in the top four divisions of English football, but they aren't having any luck against promotion rivals Notts County so far.

    The Hatters have yet to manage a shot on target, while Jon Stead has just worked another opening for the Magpies, though he can only shoot tamely at goalkeeper Marek Stech.

  17. Postpublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Wolves 0-0 Sunderland

    Ruben Neves is pulling the strings for Wolves - he always does.

    The Portuguese midfielder strikes a volley towards goal from the edge of the area, but it goes wide.

    20 minutes in, Sunderland have kept the league leaders out. How long will it last for Chris Coleman's side?

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Ipswich

    Visitors Ipswich are bidding for a third straight win.

    It's fairly even so far at the Riverside, with not much goalmouth action to report. Boro are slightly edging the possession.

  19. League Two latestpublished at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2017

    Finally, the first goal of the day in League Two, as John Akinde fires in for 23rd-placed Barnet at bottom side Chesterfield.

    It' still 0-0 in all the other fixtures taking place.

    Winger Sheyi Ojo tucks the hosts in front after good work from Neeskens Kebano. Birmingham's away woes continue.
