    Adebayo Akinfenwa goal alert... the big man has equalised for Wycombe against Joey Barton's Fleetwood.

    Staying in League One, lowly Oxford took the lead against Luton with a fine Ricky Holmes strike, but James Collins has just equalised for the Hatters.

    Wigan 0-0 Swansea

    It's still goalless at the DW Stadium. Wigan's Christian Walton has certainly been the busier of the two keepers, pulling off some fine saves in the first half.

    Wigan are unbeaten in their past 12 home matches but the Swans are looking the more likely to take the lead in this one.

    (Daniel Johnson pen, 56 mins)

    Game. On.

    Preston substitute Daniel Johnson calmly sends the keeper the wrong way and tucks in the spot kick.

    Can North End turn this game around now, with their one-man advantage?

    Leeds finally find the breakthrough and it's young striker Tyler Roberts with a super goal.

    Roberts' low drive from 25 yards finds the bottom corner and the men in white are heading top of the Championship if they can hold onto this lead.

    Hull 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds remain on top against Hull but can't find a way through.

    To remind you, a win for Marcelo Bielsa's men would send them top of the table tonight, for 24 hours at least.

    It's half-time at the Madejski Stadium. QPR have had all the chances but it's goalless at the break.

    It's also half-time in the Championship's other 20:00 BST kick-off between Stoke and Bolton. The hosts remain one goal in front there.

    Matt Price: Leeds are like the Wolves of towards the end of last season. Beautiful to watch and attacking fluidly but lacking the goal. Hoping they'll prove me wrong.

    Dean Plumley: We need Pablo Hernandez back ASAP, the creativity he has is sorely lacking tonight.

    Can Leeds find a breakthrough at Hull? The second halves in our 19:45 BST kick-offs are about to begin...

    Stoke 1-0 Bolton

    This is the first league meeting between these two sides since a 2-2 draw on the final day of the 2011-12 season, when they were both in the Premier League.

    As it stands tonight, Stoke are still 1-0 up thanks to Bruno Martins Indi's header and there are around five minutes until half-time in the Potteries.

    Reading 0-0 QPR

    35 minutes gone in the 20:00 BST kick-off at the Madejski Stadium and the visitors look the more likely to grab a goal, they are piling on the pressure in the final third. But the Reading defence are holding firm and have dealt with everything QPR have had to throw at them so far.

    Cameron Borthwick-Jackson hadn't scored in 36 senior appearances before tonight, but the Scunthorpe man has two in the first half against Charlton! It's 3-2 to the Iron in a crazy League One game.

    And things DO NOT look good for Preston, who finished just one place and two points off the play-off places last season of course.

    They're bottom of the Championship and they look like staying there tonight.

    Tammy Abraham (37 mins)

    Villa double their lead! It's a fine solo goal from Tammy Abraham, who runs inside from the left flank and produces a clinical, low finish. That's class.

    It's still goalless at Hull, where Leeds have had around 75% of the possession, but are yet to really test Tigers goalkeeper David Marshall.
