Villa have had their chances against Preston, whose keeper Declan Rudd has made three smart first-half saves. But they do look like they are missing the injured Jack Grealish.

And Preston's hard working two banks of grafters finally got their reward just before the break.

A bit freakish and not Villa keeper Sam Johnstone's best moment.

But, now the visitors are in front, Villa, with two half-time subs on, are going to have to work very hard to turn this round.

The match at the Den is back under way, and the rest of the matches will be soon as well.

It's another big 45 minutes coming up in the Championship.

Bolton with what could be a crucial lead at the break.

But, positives for Sunderland as they were on top for the final quarter of an hour at the Macron Stadium.

As it stands, the Black Cats will slip to the foot of the Championship table.

While we wait for the second halves of our 19:45 GMT kick-offs to get started, let's take a look at the fall-out from the East Anglian derby on Sunday.

Norwich scored a late equaliser to deny Ipswich Town a first win in the fixture since 2009.

But Tractor Boys skipper Luke Chambers thinks the Canaries are "nowhere near" the level of their 2014-15 Championship promotion season.

Both clubs are in action tomorrow; Ipswich host Cardiff and Norwich travel to Wolves.

Two stunning strikes for Burton in that first half at Oakwell - two massive goals for the Championship's bottom side heading into this evening.

As things stand they'll climb above Sunderland and Barnsley into 22nd.

It's looking like we will have new leaders in League One, as Shrewsbury hold a 1-0 advantage over Gillingham at the break.

In League Two, promotion-chasing Notts County are on course for a surprise defeat at mid-table Cambridge United.

League One

• Fleetwood 0-1 Portsmouth
• Shrewsbury 1-0 Gillingham

League Two

• Cambridge 1-0 Notts County
• Crewe 0-0 Exeter
• Barnet 0-0 Carlisle (latest)

The visitors are on top heading into the break at Bolton.

Ashley Fletcher has another effort deflected wide and then Lee Cattermole has a shot blocked.

The Black Cats are pressing for an equaliser.

So, we only had a couple of goals in the opening 25 minutes in the Championship - now there are 12.

This league continues to amaze.

There's the whistle at the Riverside.

Patrick Bamford's goal just before the break means Boro take a lead into half-time.

Jose Morais' first Barnsley half-time team talk is going to have to be a good one.

The hosts have been woeful in the first 45 minutes.

They are still playing in the eight o'clock kick-off at the Macron Stadium

Ben Alnwick has made a big save to preserve Bolton's lead.

The Wanderers keeper stood tall to deny Ashley Fletcher, who had burst through one-on-one.

Alnwick has also stopped a low drive from Paddy McNair from the edge of the area.

He's earning his corn this evening.

Omar Richards' first senior goal earns Reading a narrow half-time lead in a tense game at Nottingham Forest.

Richard Stearman's close-range effort gives the Blades a deserved lead at half-time.

Preston go into the break with a surprise lead at Villa Park thanks to Thomas Barkhuizen's strike.

Brentford firmly in charge at Griffin Park, and Birmingham are heading for a third successive defeat.

That stunning strike from Joey Pelupessy is enough to give the Owls the lead at the break.

This is as close Nottingham Forest have come this evening.

Lee Tomlin gets a free-kick up and over the wall, only for Vito Mannone to spring across and parry the ball away.

That's a pretty decent stop from the Reading keeper.

The goals are flying in now...
