    Rotherham 0-0 Bristol City

    Rotherham should be ahead after carving out the game's best chance so far, but Ryan Williams can't quite connect with the ball as it comes to him in the box.

    Blackburn 0-0 Sheff Utd

    Free-scoring midfielder Bradley Dack, who has been a revelation since moving to Blackburn last season, goes close for Rovers but his effort is deflected away for a corner.

    No goals at Ewood Park with about six minutes of the first half remaining.

    Nottingham Forest 1-0 Millwall

    Lee Gregory comes close again for Millwall, having earlier hit the crossbar with a header. Forest keeper Costel Pantilimon keeps out Gregory's close-range attempt.

    Both sides are threatening but no sign of a goal at Pride Park.

    Harry Wilson recently came close with a free-kick for the hosts.

    GOAL: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Millwallpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 3 October 2018

    Joe Lolley (27 mins)

    Millwall's bright start comes to little as Forest strike first at the City Ground.

    Joe Lolley lines up a shot and drills low into the corner from 20 yards.

    A draw will lift Millwall out of the bottom three but they're going to have to find a goal from somewhere now.

    Sheff Wed 1-0 West Brom

    Liam Palmer gave Adam Reach's left boot an imaginary clean after that rocket of a shot into Sam Johnstone's top corner.

    The Owls have started pretty well against West Brom, now they have a goal to show for it. And what a goal.

  7. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 20:10 British Summer Time 3 October 2018

    Rotherham 0-0 Bristol City

    Striker Famara Diedhiou confidently sweeps the ball home for Bristol City from inside the area but his effort is ruled out by an offside flag.

    Oh. My. Goodness!

    Adam Reach has done it again for Sheffield Wednesday!

    Five days on from a screamer of a volley against Leeds, he arrows one into the top corner from 30 yards. He doesn't do tap-ins, this lad.

    Sheff Wed 0-0 West Brom

    Dwight Gayle is furious with the officials - the West Brom striker is convinced he should have had a penalty for a push on him by Michael Hector.

    In the "seen them given" category.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall are definitely looking the more likely at the City Ground.

    Forest keeper Costel Pantilimon flaps at a cross but redeems himself with a fine low save to keep out Shane Ferguson's shot.

    At the other end, Lewis Grabban pokes wide from a Ben Osborn cross.

    Rotherham 0-0 Bristol CIty

    After 20 minutes, it's still a bit scrappy between Rotherham and Bristol City so far.

  12. Postpublished at 20:04 British Summer Time 3 October 2018

    Sheff Wed 0-0 West Brom

    And almost a goal at the other end at Hillsborough.

    Fernando Forestieri's 25-yard drive stings the palms of Albion keeper Sam Johnstone, who parries and then gathers at the second attempt.

    Bruce sacked by Villa

    Ste Morris: I would like to see someone like Olof Mellberg in charge. Please do NOT appoint Pardew, Pearson, Moyes etc.

    Nigel Cobbett: Genuine loyal decent bloke. Only lost 1-0 to Fulham. So nearly a hero. Nobody has a better record in getting clubs into Premier League. AVFC will regret sacking him.

    Maybe Chris Brunt heard our call for a goal? The Albion captain whips a 30-yard free-kick around the wall and almost finds the net against his former club.

    Fifteen minutes in, five games, no goals.

    Anyone fancy scoring tonight, lads?

    Rotherham 0-0 Bristol City

    Rotherham have started in positive fashion against Bristol City, but it remains goalless and neither goalkeeper has been tested just yet.

    Sheff Wed 0-0 West Brom

    West Brom, who will go top of the Championship if they win, are in their change strip of yellow and green stripes - a throwback to the days of Regis, Cunningham, Batson and Robson.

    They've had the ball in the net from a set-piece but the whistle had long since blown for a foul.

    There's no place in the Baggies' matchday squad for new signing Bakary Sako, by the way. The ex-Wolves winger joined Albion yesterday after leaving Crystal Palace in the summer.

    Derby 0-0 Norwich

    Norwich could push themselves right into the promotion picture with a fifth successive win against Derby this evening.

    Striker Teemu Pukki has made a bright start for the visitors, while Derby's Harry Wilson has had a penalty shout turned down.

  19. Millwall hit the barpublished at 19:52 British Summer Time 3 October 2018

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall hit the woodwork at the City Ground! Lee Gregory's header comes back off the crossbar.

    Blackburn 0-0 Sheff Utd

    It's more than a year since Blackburn last lost a home league game - an incredible run of form at Ewood Park, albeit for most of that time Rovers were in a lower division.

    Sheffield United have made a decent start but no proper chances to speak of yet.
