  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Stoke 1-0 Swansea

    Close again from Stoke - they desperately want that two goal cushion but just can't get it.

    Joe Allen's initial strike is blocked and then he places the rebound wide!

    Swansea are emptying their bench and have thrown-on striker Borja Baston in place of Jake Bidwell for the closing stages.

    Ipswich 1-0 Lincoln

    Ipswich are still in control of this game, but haven't managed to add to their lead.

    About seven minutes plus stoppages remain in Suffolk for Paul Lambert's side to hang on.

    Stoke almost have their second!

    Tom Ince does well down the right and pulls it back for substitute Lee Gregory, who fires off target.

    Will he regret that one come the final whistle?

    League Two latest

    Important goals at either end of the table.

    Kevin van Veen has levelled for Scunthorpe United against promotion hopefuls Crewe Alexandra, while Macclesfield Town have leveled against Forest Green Rovers through Joe Ironside.

    Bradford City, meanwhile, are now 3-0 down at Mansfield Town and Crawley Town are 3-2 up against Grimsby Town.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Stoke 1-0 Swansea

    Swansea are enjoying plenty of possession, as the have done for most of the game, but they need to work on making inroads into the Stoke final third rather than just popping the ball around.

    They are slowly cranking up the pressure but a series of corners from Bersant Celina are dealt with comfortably.

    Double change for the Swans as Joe Rodon comes on for Connor Roberts and Yan Dhanda replaces George Byers.

    League One update

    Rochdale have dragged themselves level at Spotland, with Stephen Dooley making it 2-2 against Gillingham.

    Will the travelling fans be heading back to Kent content?

    Still no goals in Fleetwood's game at Bristol Rovers.

    Maybe that's to be expected, as those two clubs have gone 10 league games without a win between them.

  7. Postpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    League Two latest

    Turnaround complete!

    Third-placed Crewe Alexandra, who earlier trailed 1-0, are now in front at Scunthorpe United after Oliver Finney's bundled finish.

    It looks like someone's put a penny in the meter...

    At Portman Road, Ipswich are holding on to their slim lead.

    Luke Garbutt came close to scoring a second for the hosts, but he was denied by a smart save from Imps keeper Josh Vickers.

    As it stands the Tractor Boys are heading top of League One.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Stoke 1-0 Swansea

    Sixty-five minutes in and Stoke have their first corner (Swansea have had seven).

    From it, Wales international Sam Vokes heads wide from close range and is promptly replaced by Lee Gregory.

    Still only that slender lead and as quiet as Swansea have been, they have the players to get back into this.

    League Two update

    Morecambe are still set to move off the bottom of League Two - but it's all got a bit nervier in their game against Cambridge United now.

    Harvey Knibbs' 68th-minute strike for the U's has made it 1-1.

    GOAL: Swindon 3-0 Port Valepublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Michael Doughty (60 mins)

    Michael Doughty has just scored an absolute beauty and Swindon Town are 3-0 up.

    The Robins man delivers a superb 25-yard free-kick into the top corner to, you'd have thought, make the game safe.

    League One update

    Jordan Roberts has grabbed his second goal of the afternoon to put Gillingham 2-1 up at Rochdale.

    The Gills are set to go nine games unbeaten as it stands, and could be four points off the play-off places if they can hold on.

    Stoke 1-0 Swansea

    Liam Lindsay block's Rhian Brewster's flick inside the Stoke box following a low cross from the right as Swansea seek an equaliser.

    An hour gone and as it stands, Stoke are moving to the heady heights of 19th and more importantly, seven points clear of the relegation zone.

    Can they hold on to a valuable three points?

  15. PLAY SUSPENDEDpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Stevenage 0-1 Plymouth

    Ah, and now the players have been taken off the field. Play has been suspended while they try to resolve the issue.

  16. Floodlights down!published at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Stevenage 0-1 Plymouth

    What's going on in the lower reaches of the EFL today?!

    Now the floodlights have gone out at Stevenage, where Plymouth Argyle lead 1-0. They're still playing on but it's obviously getting darker by the minute...

  17. Man down!published at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Peterborough 2-1 Rotherham

    Another turn in this game, as one of the linesmen has picked up an injury.

    Is there a qualified official in the crowd at London Road?

    There's a delay in play as a gent in jeans and a big coat eventually answers the call to become the fourth official.

  18. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Stoke 1-0 Swansea

    Swansea hit back almost immediately as Matt Grimes' free-kick rebounds off the bar with Jack Butland beaten.

    Much better entertainment so far in the second period!

    That Sam Clucas goal was his seventh of the season and puts him out on his own as Stoke's top scorer this season.

    GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Swanseapublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 25 January 2020

    Sam Clucas (54 mins)

    Sam Clucas drives it home from the edge of the box to put the Potters in front!

    They've started the second half well and the goal came after a good spell of possession and shortly after that near miss from James McClean.

    Swansea didn't heed the warning and now they're behind.

    Peterborough 2-1 Rotherham

    Posh almost get a third goal, but Daniel Iversen makes a good save to deny Ivan Toney,

    The unmarked striker dives to head Jack Taylor's cross back across goal, but the keeper manages to get a hand to the ball and tip it behind.
