    Earlier this week, the financial position of EFL clubs was brought into focus once more after the government's announcement that the return of fans to sporting events has been put on hold.

    EFL chairman Rick Parry has spoken about what it might mean for EFL clubs.

    You can listen to his interview on BBC Radio 5 Live's Friday Football Social by clicking here. It starts approximately 1hr 35mins into the show.

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Vladimir Ivic tastes derby victory with Watford in the first meeting with Luton in 14 years.

    It's a win which ends the Hatters' 100% start to the Championship season and which albeit temporarily, puts the Hornets second in the table.

    Joao Pedro won it in the first half, just seconds after James Collins had hit the bar for the visitors. A sliding doors moment perhaps in the Championship.

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Luton trying to get the ball forward desperately, with two minutes of added time remaining.

    Watford win a throw deep in their half, Jeremy Ngakia tries to hold it in the corner.

    Now it's flaring up. Frustrations seeping through the Luton team and Rhys Norrington-Davies gets a booking for his aggression.

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Three games, three defeats, no goals scored.

    Wycombe's life in the Championship continues to be a struggle and they looked poor at times today.

    Meanwhile, Swansea temporarily move top of the Championship before the 15:00 BST kick-offs as they maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign.

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Three minutes added on at Adams Park and Wycombe look likely to be heading for a third consecutive defeat.

    Swansea have eased off in the second half but have never looked close to conceding.

  8. Postpublished at 14:18 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Ken Sema does his very best impersonation of a pub player in whacking the ball clear as Luton press energetically for a late equaliser. Hoof done, Swedish-Congolese-style.

    Five minutes of added time.

  9. Postpublished at 14:16 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Classic play from Joao Pedro, who nutmegs a Luton player, swivels, smacks his pass at an opponent and then theatrically tumbles with cramp.

    Luton's Harry Cornick plays Doctor, appearing to inform him there's nothing wrong and roughly attempts to stretch out the leg.

    Watford players shepherd him away. It's Pedro's last effort of the game, he's replaced by Troy Deeney.

  10. Postpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Andre Ayew does well to get onto a Connor Roberts cross from inside the box but he heads into the side netting.

    In the aftermath, Josh Parker goes into the book for the hosts for an off the ball challenge.

  11. Postpublished at 14:13 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Christian Kabasele stretches to hoist away a testing delivery from Luton's dangerman Harry Cornick on the right, had to make it as it was searing into the middle.

    Luton get a snapshot on the edge of the box from Luke Berry but unlike his calf-straddling socks, he couldn't keep it down.

    Watford have had 13 shots to Luton's now four. Along with the scoreline, a telling stat.

    Five to go.

  12. Postpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Swansea make a double change as Jay Fulton and Liam Cullen come on for Morgan Gibbs-White and Jamal Lowe.

    Just under 10 minutes remain and Swansea look as assured as they can be with their lead.

  13. Postpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Simon Sluga with a vital save to keep Luton hopes alive, stretching to tip a Tom Dele-Bashiru shot round the post.

    Ismaila Sarr set up the chance, strong upper-body work against the Luton defence to hold up and tee up his team-mate.

  14. Postpublished at 14:07 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    One thing I noticed at half-time is Luton had just one successful cross from nine attempted.

    The quality of the delivery from out wide has at times been decent but also, there hasn't been much to aim at. It's into areas you'd deem dangerous.

    Rhys Norrington-Davies put in one such ball a moment ago that Ben Foster smothered easily. Harry Cornick has just won a corner after his was blocked... oh, no he hasn't. Goal kick.

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Morgan Gibbs-White has had a great game for Swansea so far and he yet again works onto a dangerous ball which finds its way into the Wycombe box.

    This time he tries to turn the ball home at a tight angle but Ryan Allsop deflects it away.

  16. Postpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Luton centre-half Matty Pearson has been walking a tightrope since the first half and finally he gets a booking for chopping down the advancing Ismaila Sarr.

    It was an essential challenge, as the Watford man would have been in otherwise.

    There has been a lot to like about Luton today but they still trail and are struggling to get ball back as Watford play matador to the Hatters' bull.

  17. Postpublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Wycombe force Swansea's Jake Bidwell into a frantic clearance for a corner after Matt Bloomfield curls into the box.

    Bloomfield is substituted for Josh Parker moments later and the corner comes into the box twice after the referee orders it to be retaken.

    Swansea eventually win the ball back thanks to a foul.

  18. Postpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Wycombe 0-2 Swansea

    Jamal Lowe looks to add to his earlier goal for Swansea as he wins the ball back on the touchline and drives into the box.

    Wycombe fail to close him down but his shot is dealt with by Ryan Allsop.

  19. Postpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Watford 1-0 Luton

    Jeremy Ngakia and Tom Dele-Bashiru work a nice opening for Watford and a low cross from the byline is just blocked by Simon Sluga in the Luton goal, before the defence clear.

    Time ticking down for Luton, just over 15 minutes to go.

    Just a little warning to Luton there that Watford can strike when the moment lends itself.

    The Hornets, leading through Joao Pedro's goal, have a real trickster in Ismaila Sarr out wide and his slaloming, teasing surge down the left almost brought up a chance.

    Meanwhile, Luton have brought James Collins off for Danny Hylton.
