    Kick-off is only minutes away at a packed Craven Cottage.

    Wolves could be forgiven for feeling a little nervy at seeing Peter Bankes as the referee.

    He's sent off captain Conor Coady at Sheffield United in September and Danny Batth at Bristol City over Christmas.

    One player who has caught the eye again for Fulham this season is Ryan Sessegnon.

    The teenager, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham, is the only player to have started every Championship game for the Cottagers this term and is their top-scorer with 12 goals.

    Not bad for a 17-year-old who has made many of those appearances at left-back!

    As good as Fulham's recent home form has been, Wolves have enjoyed their recent trips to Craven Cottage.

    Since losing 5-0 there in the Premier League in March 2012, Wolves have conceded only once on their last four visits, picking up three wins, including last season's 3-1 victory.

    Fulham head into this evening's game against Wolves as one of - if not the - form team in the Championship after an 11 game unbeaten run.

    When they last lost, at Sunderland on 16 December, the Cottagers sat in mid-table, eight points off a play-off place.

    They now sit fifth, thanks largely to a run of seven straight home wins in which they have scored 18 times and conceded just twice.

  6. LINE-UPSpublished at 17:23 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Fulham v Wolves (17:30 GMT)

    Three changes for Fulham as they revert to the side that ran out 2-0 winners over Aston Villa last weekend.

    Wolves must do without Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, who starts a two-match ban after picking up his 10th booking of the season in the midweek draw with Norwich.

    Romain Saiss comes in, while Diogo Jota is also dropped and replaced by Leo Bonatini.

    Fulham: Bettinelli; Fredericks, Kalas, Ream, Targett; McDonald, Johansen, Cairney, Ayite, Mitrovic, Sessegnon.

    Subs: Button, Odoi, Christie, Norwood, Ojo, Fonte, Kamara.

    Wolves: Ruddy; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, N'Diaye, Saiss, Douglas; Costa, Bonatini, Cavaleiro.

    Subs: Norris, Batth, Jota, Afobe, Gibbs-White, Miranda, Hause.

    Time for me to hand over to Steve Marshall, who'll bring you coverage of leaders Wolves' testing trip to Fulham.

    This is how the Championship looks at both ends after those 15:00 GMT matches...

    Aston Villa have closed on the second automatic promotion spot after their 4-2 win at Sheffield Wednesday, while Bristol City cling onto sixth for now.

    Sunderland stay bottom despite their late heroics, while the big move sees Barnsley leapfrog Burton and Birmingham to move above that invisible dotted relegation line.

    Wycombe 2-4 MorecambeImage source, Rex Features

    Of the top three sides in League Two before the afternoon's games, only Accrington claimed three points with a 1-0 victory over Cambridge.

    Leaders Luton fought back to claim a 2-2 draw with Cheltenham, but Wycombe fell to a remarkable 4-2 defeat at the hands of Morecambe.

    That was perhaps the strangest result on a day of surprises, as struggling Barnet, Crewe, Chesterfield and Forest Green all also won.

    • Accrington 1-0 Cambridge
    • Chesterfield 2-0 Swindon
    • Colchester 0-1 Barnet
    • Forest Green 2-0 Crawley
    • Grimsby 0-1 Exeter
    • Lincoln 1-4 Crewe
    • Luton 2-2 Cheltenham
    • Mansfield 1-1 Coventry
    • Notts County 2-0 Stevenage

    Rotherham v DoncasterImage source, Rex Features

    A quite incredible finish at Rotherham, where the Millers trailed Doncaster 1-0 after 92 minutes.

    Michael Smith's header looked to have earned the hosts a point, but his side weren't finished there, as Smith then won a 103rd-minute penalty, which was coolly dispatched by Joe Newell.

    To add injury to insult, those 13 minutes of added time came from a pair of lengthy delays following knocks to Rovers players Alfie Beestin and Tom Anderson.

    It was a good day for the top three sides as well, as Blackburn, Shrewsbury and Wigan all claim three points.

    Bury are off the bottom of the table, holding out for a hard-fought victory against visiting Gillingham.

    • Bristol Rovers 1-1 Scunthorpe
    • Bury 2-1 Gillingham
    • Charlton 0-2 Shrewsbury
    • Fleetwood 1-1 MK Dons
    • Northampton 0-0 Oxford
    • Oldham P-P Southend
    • Peterborough 1-1 Wimbledon
    • Plymouth 1-0 Bradford
    • Portsmouth 0-2 Blackpool
    • Rotherham 2-1 Doncaster

    Surely one of the maddest afternoons in the Championship this season. These are just some of the highlights:

    • Callum McManaman scores his first goal in two-and-a-half years in the 96th minute to rescue Sunderland a 3-3 draw with rivals Middlesbrough - but they remain bottom.
    • Jon Dadi Bodvarson earns Jaap Stam's Reading a 3-3 draw with Derby, who have Richard Keogh red-carded.
    • Aston Villa twice come from behind to win 4-2 at Sheffield Wednesday and move a point behind second-placed Cardiff.
    • Lee Tomlin scores twice as Nottingham Forest triumph 5-2 away at QPR.
    • Barnsley move above Birmingham and out of the drop zone after winning 2-0 at St Andrew's.

    FT: Sunderland 3-3 Middlesbrough

    Before we take a look at everything that's happened across the EFL today, let's just take a moment to digest that Sunderland-Middlesbrough match.

    We've seen six goals, had two red cards and watched a staggering 104 minutes of play at the Stadium of Light.

    What must Boro boss Tony Pulis be thinking? Simply remarkable stuff.

  14. FULL-TIME Sunderland 3-3 Middlesbroughpublished at 17:03 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    And that's it!

    Callum McManaman's first goal since NOVEMBER 2014 snatches a draw for Sunderland from the jaws of defeat.

    The hosts stay bottom - but if that isn't the catalyst for a survival attempt, I don't know what is.

    Oh. My. Word. Sunderland score.

    The last throw of the dice. Bryan Oviedo swings a corner in and winger Callum McManaman - surely one of the smallest players on the pitch - finds the finishing touch.

    The Stadium of Light is delirious. The hosts have rescued a point.

    Joel Asoro comes oh so close to making it 3-3, but once again Boro keeper Darren Randolph is in the way.

    Sunderland think they should've had a penalty for a challenge on Jonny Williams in the build-up, but it's waved away.

    It's suddenly got rather nervy here, after all the drama of the first 90 minutes.

    Sunderland simply have to throw the kitchen sink at it.

    Around three minutes of added time remain.
