Leeds' Patrick Bamford has scored in all three of his league starts against Birmingham, twice with Middlesbrough and once with Derby.

He's leading the line for the visitors at St Andrew's this afternoon.

Jamal Lowe follows his sublime Wembley goal in the Checkatrade Trophy final with the opener for promotion-chasing Portsmouth at Wycombe.

Big goal, especially with second-placed Barnsley behind at Burton.

Derby started the day just one point off the play-off places and have a game in hand on sixth-placed Aston Villa.

Their game at mid-table Brentford has started in relatively scrappy fashion.

Stoke City goals have been in short supply in recent weeks. The Potters' past four games have all ended 0-0.

There were goals galore in the reverse fixture with Blackburn, who led 3-0 at the Bet365 Stadium and held off a late Stoke fightback - including a missed penalty by Saido Berahino in stoppage time - to win 3-2.

Rovers have come closest to a goal today - Joe Rothwell's hit the bar early on at Ewood Park.

Preston have made a lively start against third-placed Sheffield United, who seem a tad nervy at the back.

Early chance for Forest as Yohan Benalouane beck heels an effort towards goal only for it to come off the post.

Unlucky that.

Shock - Luton are in front. James Collins scores their opener against Blackpool at Kenilworth Road.

Meanwhile, Chris Stokes has scored a quick equaliser for Bury at Carlisle in League Two and it's still goalless between the top two in the fourth tier - MK Dons and leaders Lincoln.

Wigan almost take a surprise lead at fifth-placed Bristol City, but Chey Dunkley can't quite turn the ball in at the far post.

Another promotion contender is behind early - this time it's Barnsley in League One, who have gone a goal down at Burton.

Jamie Allen's tap-in has the Brewers in front.

Birmingham could become the first side to complete a league double over Leeds this season, having won 2-1 at Elland Road in September.

There have been no goalmouth chances to tell you about so far at St Andrew's.

The Owls are unbeaten in 12 league games, winning six, which is their best run since 2012.

Can they keep that going against an in-form Villa side?

The visitors have started brightly, with energy and purpose.

Promotion-chasing Bury have gone behind inside the first minute at Carlisle - Jamie Devitt the scorer after racing onto a through-ball.

Carlisle say it was netted after 29 seconds - not the start that the Shakers wanted, for sure.

Here we go then, everyone. Best of luck to your team this afternoon, whoever you support.

Play is starting to get under way around the grounds, with large areas of the country bathed in sunshine on this April afternoon.

It's amazing what two wins over your promotion rivals can do.

From being on the outskirts of the top six, consecutive victories at Sheffield United and Middlesbrough have lifted Bristol City up to fifth in the Championship.

They also have a game in hand on most of the teams around them.

Today it's Wigan at home for the upwardly mobile Robins.

If the people in charge of West Bromwich Albion were hoping for a "new manager/head coach bounce" after sacking Darren Moore, then caretaker boss James Shan has provided it.

The Baggies have won all three games since Shan took charge and that sequence has all but guaranteed a play-off spot, although a top-two finish looks unlikely at this stage.

Today's opponents Millwall, on the other hand, are just a point above the drop zone. If there has been a positive for them this term, it's been their home form. Points from their remaining games at The Den could be critical to their survival chances.
