    Off and running at Villa Park.

    Can the hosts get their stuttering form back on track or can Paul Clement get a second win in as many games for Reading?

  2. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:46 British Summer Time 3 April 2018

    Wolves 0-0 Hull

    They're under way at Molineux.

    Wolves are bidding for a 27th league victory of a memorable campaign.

    A point for Hull would surely seem as good as a victory.

    Fulham v Leeds United (19:45 BST)

    Evening all.

    Looks like some sultry evening sunshine on the banks of the River Thames at Craven Cottage as the two sides make their way out on to the pitch.

    Hopefully we're in for a tasty encounter between these two with plenty of goals.

    Adam Williams now joins the party with kick-off in four of our five EFL matches a couple of minutes away.

    Mr Williams will be keeping a close eye on Aston Villa against Reading and Fulham versus Leeds, as well as updates from Bury v Rochdale in League One.

    I'll be across Wolves against Hull and Bolton v Birmingham which starts at 20:00 BST.

  5. Time running out for Burypublished at 19:41 British Summer Time 3 April 2018

    Bury v Rochdale (19:45 BST)

    There is just one match in League One - but it's a cracker.

    Bury, bottom of the table and cut adrift, host neighbours Rochdale who are four points from safety but with games in hand on teams around them.

    Anything but a win for The Shakers and you feel it's curtains. Victory for Rochdale gives them every chance of staying in the division.

    We'll bring you news of any goals from Gigg Lane as they go in.

    We had seven Championship fixtures throughout the Bank Holiday yesterday and there was a big win for Derby, who ended a run of eight games without one.

    Tom Lawrence's bullet free-kick to sink Preston got a bumper day of action started before Middlesbrough left it late to claim a point at bottom-of-the-table Burton.

    Elsewhere, there were wins for Brentford, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday that dented the play-off and survival hopes of the likes of Bristol City and Sunderland.

    It was all capped off in the evening in the Steel City as Cardiff pounced in stoppage time to snatch a 1-1 draw at Sheffield United.

    If we have anything close to matching that drama and entertainment tonight, we'll be in for a treat.

  10. Blues on the risepublished at 19:29 British Summer Time 3 April 2018

    Bolton v Birmingham (20:00 BST)

    Arguably the most important game this evening is at Bolton who host a resurgent Birmingham.

    Back-to-back wins for Blues under new boss Garry Monk has lifted them out of the relegation zone and three points behind tonight's opponents.

    Bolton looked doomed earlier in the season, but steady results since Christmas has seen Phil Parkinson's side move five points clear of the relegation zone.

    The game starts at 20:00 BST.

  11. Villa's automatic promotion hopes over?published at 19:26 British Summer Time 3 April 2018

    Another side who may have to make do with a play-off place are Aston Villa.

    No win in three matches has seen them fall 10 points behind an automatic promotion spot.

    Lowly Reading come to Villa Park on the back of a much-needed victory over QPR in Paul Clement's first game in charge.

    But last season's play-off finalists still aren't safe - the Royals are five points clear of danger.

    If you're searching for the EFL's form side - look no further than Fulham.

    Slavisa Jokanovic's men are unbeaten in their past 17 league matches and have climbed from mid-table to third.

    But the outstanding form of Wolves and Cardiff means they may have to settle for a play-off place.

    Tonight's opponents Leeds are enduring something of a mixed start under new manager Paul Heckingbottom, and their top-six ambitions appear to be over for another year.

    Ruben Neves red cardImage source, Rex Features

    One player Wolves will have to do without tonight is star midfielder Ruben Neves.

    The 21-year-old was sent off in Friday's win at Middlesbrough, along with full-back Matt Doherty who is also suspended.

    Roderick Miranda and Alfred N'Diaye come in for the pair, while Diogo Jota replaces Benik Afobe up front for Wolves.

    I say three victories are needed - that's assuming Fulham and Aston Villa win their remaining seven matches.

    In all likelihood, Wolves fans can already start planning their trips to Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge next season - they've been the outstanding team in the Championship this campaign.

    Three points against 18th-placed Hull tonight, coupled with the chasing pack slipping up, and Wolves could seal promotion at Cardiff on Friday.

  15. Postpublished at 19:15 British Summer Time 3 April 2018

    Three more wins.

    That's all Wolves need to finally guarantee their promotion to the Premier League.

    Tonight, their quest begins with a home game against Hull City who are still fearful of the drop.

    Two sides trying to halt the Wanderers juggernaut, Fulham and Aston Villa, also play.

    Oh, and we've got a huge derby match at the bottom of League One.

    Should be a good one...
