Middlesbrough work a decent opening but Paddy McNair slices wide from Marvin Johnson's cutback.

Boro are without a win in five and, in truth, have played like that for much of the opening half an hour this evening.

Almost a second for Fulham.

Luton keeper James Shea parries away a shot from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Anthony Knockaert has a follow-up effort blocked.

Then there's a cut-back from the byline and another attempt on goal from Bobby Decordova-Reid is hacked off the line.

The Whites have been piling on the pressure since Mitrovic's opener.

Hull enjoying some possession here.

Jon Toral, making his first league start of the season, forces Brice Samba into action in the Forest goal.

The hosts will go second with victory tonight.

The home fans aren't best pleased with their side's first-half performance to date.

There are a few murmurs of discontent at Pride Park around as Derby struggle against a Wigan team that has only taken one point in six away games this season.

The Latics are more than holding their own - they've probably been the better side.

Bristol City work another opening, counter-attacking from a Charlton corner.

Addicks keeper Dillon Phillips gathers Josh Brownhill's effort from distance at the second attempt.

More Huddersfield pressure.

Young Town midfielder Lewis O'Brien bursts forward from midfield and crosses in for Karlan Grant.

The ball is eventually crossed back in and O'Brien slices over from 12 yards.

Boro defender Dael Fry is in the book after hauling Elias Kachunga down as he looked to break through on goal.

Fry's lucky there was cover or the card might have matched the colour of his shirt.

(Red. Boro are playing in red.)

Open start to the game at the City Ground but neither goalkeeper has been forced into serious work.

Midfielder Beram Kayal, making his first league start for the visitors, is booked for a sliding challenge on Niclas Eliasson as Bristol City attack.

That gives the Robins a free-kick just outside the area.

Eliasson dusts himself down... and sends the set piece off target.

Joey Barton's Fleetwood score the first EFL goal of the night, taking the lead against Coventry with a Paddy Madden tap-in after Ched Evans somehow hit the post from close range.

And the League One leaders are behind! Ipswich trail Rotherham, with Matt Crooks the scorer with a low drilled shot from the edge of the box.

Middlesbrough fail to clear the ball and Town win it back 20 yards out.

Trevoh Chalobah lifts a ball into the area that top scorer Karlan Grant heads over.

Boro have been guilty of making a few silly errors like that in these opening minutes and league debutant goalkeeper Aynsley Pears will not be thanking them for it.

The Scotland goalkeeper does well to turn it away for a corner.

The hosts have the first couple of openings of the evening at Craven Cottage.

Denis Odoi heads wide from a free-kick swung in by Anthony Knockaert, then Ivan Cavaleiro's low shot is saved.

Boro should lead!

Paddy McNair whips a free-kick across the face of goal to Daniel Ayala steaming in at the back post.

The Spaniard can't keep his effort down from four yards but he really should have stuck that away.

Huddersfield have had the better of the opening exchanges here.

The Terriers start tonight in the relegation zone but are unbeaten in four.

No side has made more changes to their starting line-up in the Championship this season than Charlton Athletic.

The Addicks made four alterations from the starting XI which beat Derby County on Saturday.

Boss Lee Bowyer, who continues his pitchside ban this evening, has tinkered on 35 occasions in total.

It's working so far, as the promoted side started the evening one point off the play-offs.

Derby escape a goalmouth scramble from a Wigan corner in the opening couple of minutes at Pride Park.

Time for five Championship games, and three matches in League One, to get going.

There is what could prove to be a crucial game at the bottom of the second tier as Huddersfield host Middlesbrough.
