How about this for a start from Yeovil Town?!

We mentioned earlier how brutal their 536-mile round trip to Morecambe only four days after Christmas looks, but the Glovers fans have been rewarded inside the opening 30 seconds with a goal from Jake Gray.

And Doncaster have an early goal in the third tier too, with Ben Whiteman putting Rovers ahead against Rochdale.

Lots of eyes are on Cardiff tonight, as they look to close the gap on leaders Wolves.

But in fact it's only Wolves who have a longer unbeaten run in the Championship at the moment than tonight's visitors, Preston, who haven't lost in eight.

Preston's Tom Barkhuizen bursts through midfield on a strong run but in the end his final ball isn't accurate because he's a little off balance, and Cardiff clear the danger.

Cardiff look to make a quick, early break down their right but Kenneth Zohore is just offside.

Tonight's five EFL matches - including these two Championship crackers - are just getting under way now.

Preston - all in yellow - kick things off in Cardiff, where the hosts are in their traditional blue kit.

The players are out on the field in south Wales. The stadium isn't full but there's still a fair bit of noise.

Rights restrictions mean we're unable to bring you live audio commentary of any of tonight's games online.

However, as well as following this live text commentary, you can tune in via your nearest BBC local radio station in the relevant local areas, if your team is in action.

Chris Gibson: Best moment this year when Radrizzani took control of LUFC

Jack Richardson: Promotion at last for Argyle, on our way back after only knowing relegation and administration as a Plymouth fan

Stuart Hatcher: Best moment for Brentford fans in 2017, maybe taking £10m from Birmingham for 3 of our first teamers on transfer deadline day - and it not phasing us at all while Brum sit bottom (oh and a record away win at Loftus Road v QPR)

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock says Bluebirds centre-half Sol Bamba is a better defender than new £75m Liverpool signing Virgil van Dijk.

Warnock had previously stated he would not swap his own defender for any other in either the Championship or the Premier League and is standing by that, despite Van Dijk's hefty price tag.

Earlier today, former Leeds United and Rotherham boss Neil Redfearn was named as the new head coach of Women's Super League Two side Doncaster Rovers Belles.

The 52-year-old becomes the first former first-team boss of an EFL club to take charge of a team in the WSL - which was founded in 2011.

Ahead of the opening of the January transfer window, for Preston fans today delivered an update on one of North End's reported targets.

Rangers have rejected a £500,000 bid for midfielder Josh Windass from Preston, who are understood to be unlikely to pursue their interest in him.

Cardiff come in to this game after two straight defeats, including their first home loss of the season - Tuesday's dismantling by Fulham.

But, as they bid to bounce straight back, their visitors Preston will be no pushovers. North End are currently enjoying an eight-game unbeaten run.

Victory would lift Neil Warnock's side to within five points of leaders Wolves, while Alex Neil's Preston can move to within a point of the top six.

Cardiff change three, with playmaker Lee Tomlin among those to come in to the side.

Cardiff: Etheridge; Paterson, Bamba (c), Manga, Peltier, Damour, Ralls, Tomlin, Feeney, Mendez-Laing, Zohore.

Preston also make three changes, as skipper Tom Clarke returns after an achilles problem.

Preston: Maxwell; Cunningham, Pearson, Clarke (c), Horgan, Browne, Hugill, Gallagher, Davies, Huntingdon, Barkhuizen.

Andrew Lee Davies on Twitter: Had to be @NewportCounty, external great escape. Left it very late in the season and even later in the final game.

What a moment indeed. Newport fans sure enjoyed it. Some of us, though, neutral but busy, were frantically re-writing the Hartlepool match report that was suddenly somewhat inadequate...

Millwall bring in Mahlon Romeo and Steve Morison for the injured Conor McLaughlin and Tom Elliott, while Ryan Tunnicliffe comes in for Shaun Williams.

Millwall: Archer; Meredith, Hutchinson, Cooper, Romeo, Wallace, Tunnicliffe, Saville, O'Brien, Morison, Gregory.

Ian Holloway makes two changes as he returns to his former club, bringing in Grant Hall for his first start in almost nine months and Bright Osayi-Samuel for the suspended Josh Scowen and ill Jack Robinson.

QPR: Smithies; Baptiste, Onuoha, Bidwell, Osayi-Samuels, Hall, Wszolek, Luongo, Cousins, Freeman, Sylla.

Facing a much shorter journey this evening are the QPR fans who are heading to the Den tonight.

Just over 10 miles separate these two London clubs, including that 900-foot-wide body of water known as the Thames.

In the Championship table only goal difference separates them - they're both level on 27 points with Reading, eight points above the relegation zone.

Let's run you through the team news...

Last but by no means least, tonight also sees struggling Morecambe host Yeovil in League Two.

Now, making a round trip of some 536 miles to see your team play is tough enough on a normal day.

But making it for a night game on Friday, 29 December? Fair play to any Glovers fans attempting the trip, as well as the travelling team from BBC Somerset.

Meanwhile, we have two games to entertain us in League One as well.

Leaders Wigan will bid to move seven points clear at the top when they host Charlton, while 23rd-placed Rochdale are away to mid-table Doncaster.

We'll bring you updates from both of those matches throughout the evening.
