Vital goal for the Addicks in their fight against the drop.
Swansea 0-0 Luton
Hatters keeper Simon Sluga has been called into action for the first time in the game producing a terrific point-blank save from Andre Ayew's deflected shot.
Charlton 0-0 QPR
A quiet opening spell at The Valley in this London derby.
There was a poignant moment before kick-off though as both teams conducted a minute's applause in memory of those connected with Charlton who have passed away in recent months.
They include former Addicks defender and then later assistant manager and manager Theo Foley, who died on Friday, aged 83.
The Irishman was also a reserve team coach at QPR.

Swansea 0-0 Luton
Another corner for lively Luton as Jacob Butterfield picks out Dan Potts but his header hits the side netting.
Preston 0-0 Cardiff
Albert Adomah seizes the initiative for Cardiff as he forces his way upfield and creates the first chance that the Bluebirds have seen in this game.
However he drags a left-footed effort past the post. Better stuff from Cardiff as they look to disrupt what has been a comfortable start for Preston.
Image source, PA MediaThere are two more games kicking off at 13:00 BST - Derby v Reading and Barnsley v Millwall.
We'll have updates of those games to come later.
Swansea 0-0 Luton
First corner of the game to Luton as Dan Potts combines well with Elliot Lee down the left. Jacob Butterfield's delivery is headed clear by the Swansea defence.
It's been a bright start this from Luton.
Preston 0-0 Cardiff
Big shouts for a penalty from Preston after Scott Sinclair goes down in the box.
Another flowing passing move from the hosts down the right flank sees Sinclair pounce on to a loose ball and he goes to ground claiming to have been brought down.
There's not much contact from the onrushing Cardiff defender Leandro Bacuna, however, as referee Oliver Langford waves away the hosts' protests.

I might keep my opinions to myself with Swansea's substitutes sat this close to the press box...

Preston get the first shot of this match and it's Jayden Stockley who tees up Tom Barkhuizen to try his luck with an audacious shot from just outside the box.
Fortunately for Cardiff, his effort sails wide of the left-hand post and it remains all square in these early stages.
We are ready in today's three 12:30 BST kick-offs.
A bumper day of Championship football begins!

Swansea v Luton (12:30 BST)

BBC Sport Wales at the Liberty Stadium
It's a big day for the two Welsh clubs in the Championship as they both look to sustain their bids to reach the play-offs.
Swansea, who are ninth and a point outside the top six after last weekend's 3-0 win at Middlesbrough, welcome bottom club Luton to the Liberty Stadium for an early kick-off.
At the same time, Cardiff, who are seventh and outside the play-off spots only by goal difference after beating title-chasing Leeds 2-0, travel to Preston, who occupy that precious final play-off place in sixth.
As ever, it's tight at the top of the Championship, and today's results could have a major bearing on the race for the play-offs.

What should we be looking out for? We laid out what is to play for here.
Many people are using the iFollow streaming service to watch their team's Championship matches while fans aren't allowed in stadiums, but some missed the opening minutes of last Saturday's games because of a technical issue.
It was resolved within 15 minutes and there were more than 50,000 concurrent streams once the issue had been fixed.
The English Football League have been assured by the streaming provider that the necessary steps have been taken to resolve the problem.

Bottom side Luton travel to Swansea in one of today's early kick-offs, while Charlton face QPR.
Barnsley take on Millwall in one of the day's two 13:00 BST kick-offs, while Hull and Middlesbrough face Birmingham and Stoke respectively at 15:00 BST.
Huddersfield travel to Nottingham Forest in one of tomorrow's two Championship fixtures.
Image source, .So, in light of Brentford's win against leaders West Brom last night, here's how the top of the Championship stands heading into today's fixtures.
Brentford's second straight victory since football's return moved them within five points of top spot, with Leeds able to dethrone the Baggies at the top depending on the result when they take on fourth-placed Fulham today.
Leeds trail Albion only on goal difference. If Fulham win at Elland Road, however, it would reduce the gap between the top two and the chasing pack to four points.
