Forest think they're in front with a Joe Worrall header, but it's disallowed.

Another ball swung in for Patrick Bamford - this time it is from Jack Harrison - but the forward fails to connect again.

Garry Monk had some rather choice things to say about Pep Clotet before the reverse fixture, and didn't shake hands with his opposite number before the match at Hillsborough in November.

Clotet succeeded Monk as Blues boss when Monk was sacked last summer.

Today, there was a handshake and smiles...

Coventry City are one of the in-form teams in the EFL and they're in front against Rochdale with a Michael Rose goal - the Sky Blues could be top of the table by close of play today.

At the bottom, struggling Southend are losing at home to Burton.

Tyrese Campbell has the first chance at the Bet365 Stadium - he latches on to Sam Clucas' ball but his left-footed effort is stopped by Alex Smithies.

Several EFL clubs have held tributes to former Manchester United goalkeeper Harry Gregg, who passed away earlier this week.

Gregg was an outstanding club and international goalkeeper, but he will best be remembered for his bravery in the 1958 Munich air disaster.

The Northern Ireland player signed for Manchester United just two months before the tragedy, in which 23 people died.

Gregg is often referred to as the 'Hero of Munich' after pulling passengers free from the burning wreckage.

One of the clubs he managed was Crewe, where there was a minute's applause before kick-off of their match against Macclesfield.

And another chance for the Yorkshiremen as Helder Costa shoots just wide having shaken off his marker.

Leeds have their first chance of the game after a couple of minutes - Pablo Hernandez crosses towards Patrick Bamford but it's just out of the reach of the United frontman and away it goes.

Positive start for the hosts.

An early goal and it affects the top of League Two - second-placed Exeter are behind to a first-minute goal by Vadaine Oliver at Northampton.

Joe Rodon and Ben Cabango, two young Welshmen who have come through the Swansea City academy, start alongside each other for the first time this afternoon.

There are many in these parts who believe Swansea-born Rodon and Cabango, who hails from Cardiff, could end up playing together at the heart of Wales' defence.

Rodon has already made his mark in Ryan Giggs' side, and the feeling is that 19-year-old Cabango will soon follow suit.

The task in hand is Huddersfield Town this afternoon, of course, and Rodon and Cabango will have to deal with 13-goal leading scorer Karlan Grant, who returns today after three games out injured.

A last-minute change for Reading because of an injury in the warm-up - Michael Olise starts instead of Ovie Ejaria.

Here we go then. Referee's whistles are being blown up and down the country - stay tuned for all the action here on BBC Sport.

What will the enigma which is the current Leeds United side provide today?

At times the Whites appear to be clinging on to their automatic promotion spot, with their victory over Bristol City last weekend giving them their first win in four.

Marcelo Bielsa's men have a chance to put clear ground between them and the play-off places after Fulham could only draw at Derby last night and Brentford drew earlier today.

Fans at Elland Road will have concerns their dreams of a return to the Premier League could go up in smoke for a second consecutive season.

Reading are the side looking to upset the apple cart today.

The Royals have tailed off after a productive festive period, but won at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend to record their first win in eight league games.

This game at The Valley could prove to be a big one at the bottom of the table.

Charlton had a stunning start to the season following promotion last summer, but have tailed off dramatically as an injury crisis took hold in south-east London.

The Addicks have lost two of their past three and start the day five points above the relegation zone.

Visitors Luton Town are four points from safety and six behind Charlton - and could drag Charlton deeper into trouble if they win.

The Hatters are aiming for a third consecutive victory - and ended an 11-match losing streak on the road when they came away from Middlesbrough with all three points last Saturday.

Birmingham City are flying at the moment - only Blackburn and Preston have got more points than Blues in the past six games.

They are unbeaten in their past seven and in Scott Hogan have a striker on fire - the Aston Villa man has scored in three of his four matches since moving across the second city on loan at the end of last month.

On the other hand, Wednesday prop up the Championship's form table - two points from their past six matches will be worrying for former Blues boss Garry Monk.

Perhaps his biggest concern is the lack of goals - just four since the turn of the year and two of those were in the surprising 2-0 win over Leeds United.

They have scored just once this month and come into the game having lost 3-0 at home to Reading, while Blues drew 1-1 at Brentford last weekend.

It is four years since Wednesday last won at St Andrew's - can they end that run or will current form prevail?

How will Wigan react without having vocal boss Paul Cook in the dugout?

He serves a one-match touchline ban after admitting using abusive and/or insulting language towards the referee after a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough, and also admitting his language and/or behaviour afterwards in the officials' room amounted to improper conduct.

The Latics have lost just one of their last five matches as they aim to get out of the bottom three and got a very creditable 1-0 win at high-flying Leeds three weeks ago.

The Lions are on a similarly good run, even if they have perhaps not collected the points they deserve.

They have faced four of the promotion-chasing sides in their last five games - beating Preston last time out, drawing with Fulham before that and losing to West Brom and Leeds.

None of the top seven sides in League Two face one another this afternoon, but eighth-placed Northampton, who are only outside the play-off places on goal difference, host second-placed Exeter City.

Leaders Swindon will hope to consolidate top spot as they entertain Ian Holloway's Grimsby Town while third-placed Crewe will be favourites as they host struggling Macclesfield.

Alex Revell's first game in charge at bottom side Stevenage sees his team travel to mid-table Crawley.

• Carlisle United v Morecambe
• Cheltenham Town v Mansfield Town
• Crawley Town v Stevenage
• Crewe Alexandra v Macclesfield Town
• Leyton Orient v Oldham Athletic
• Newport County v Bradford City
• Northampton Town v Exeter City
• Plymouth Argyle v Cambridge United
• Salford City v Colchester United
• Scunthorpe United v Forest Green Rovers
• Swindon Town v Grimsby Town
• Walsall v Port Vale

It is more than 12 years since Stoke City last welcomed Cardiff in the second tier of English football - a Roger Johnson own goal and Ricardo Fuller's penalty saw the Potters win 2-1 as they galloped off towards promotion to the Premier League.

Stoke know defeat today could see them drop into the relegation zone if Wigan get a good win over Millwall, while Cardiff are eyeing a late push for the play-off places having not been beaten since their 6-1 humiliation at QPR on New Year's Day.

Josh Murphy is the man of the moment in Cardiff - five goals in his last six games the former Norwich City man is in his best run of goalscoring form since his £11m move to Wales in 2018.

Keeping teams out has been Stoke's problem of late - the Potters have conceded 11 goals in their last four matches.

They will need to tighten up at the back if they are to give their fans a bit of hope as they aim to fend off the clutches of League One.

Nottingham Forest will be looking to capitalise on Fulham's failure to take three points at Derby last night.

The Reds salvaged a late point against top-of-the-table West Brom last weekend, but have still only won one of their past four Championship games and sit fifth.

Sabri Lamouchi will also be wary of the gap to seventh place, which stands at just two points before this game.

The City Ground had never been a happy hunting ground for Queens Park Rangers until last season.

The Hoops had not won on their previous 34 trips to Forest - but came away from the banks of the Trent with a 1-0 victory in December 2018.

Mark Warburton's side came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2 against Stoke last time out, giving the R's a first win in five league outings.
