    GOAL: Millwall 1-0 Lutonpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Martin Cranie og (45+4 mins)

    A goal at The Den just before the break!

    The Lions get a late, late corner in first-half stoppage time.

    Striker Matt Smith dominates his defender at the back post, and the ball ends up in the back of the net via a deflection.

    It looks like it came off Hatters defender Martin Cranie so it'll go down as an own goal.

    League Two update

    It's pretty much as you were in the seven 19:00 BST matches, although Danny Johnson has put Leyton Orient 1-0 up at Tranmere with his eighth goal of the campaign.

    A second goal from Jack Muldoon has restored Harrogate's lead at Grimsby before half-time, while Walsall have a 1-0 advantage at Bradford City at the break.

    It's finished 1-1 between Morecambe and Mansfield.

    The Stags are one of two teams in League Two yet to win a league game this season, and have now drawn four of their seven games.

    Luton keeper Simon Sluga is earning his corn this evening.

    The Croatian gets down low to his right to parry away a driven 25-yard effort from Connor Mahoney.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Rotherham

    Rotherham are coming into the game after a bright start from Forest.

    Still nothing much between the sides but the Millers are getting into a flow now.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:28 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Norwich 0-0 Birmingham

    Birmingham's Jonathan Leko gets caught in possession and Todd Cantwell bears down on goal, but Blues keeper Neil Etheridge narrows the angle and makes a strong save.

    Norwich are knocking on the door and won't want to hear the half-time whistle.

    GOAL: Coventry 1-1 Swanseapublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Andre Ayew (41 mins)

    Swansea are level with a well-taken goal from Andre Ayew.

    The visitors break quickly down the left, Ayew gets the ball just inside the box and sends a low, angled shot into the far corner.

    All square.

  11. Postpublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Norwich 0-0 Birmingham

    Todd Cantwell goes down in a heap asking for a penalty for the hosts but play goes on.

    A low Teemu Pukki cross then comes in and Cantwell miraculously hauls himself up to stab the ball just wide.

    A second game has reached its conclusion on a night of staggered League One kick-offs - Portsmouth winning 2-0 at Gillingham to move to the fringes of the play-offs.

    Elsewhere, Doncaster have scored twice in two minutes and are 4-1 up against leaders Ipswich.

    Coventry 1-0 Swansea

    Still just the one Championship goal so far tonight, scored by Coventry, who have had to weather a couple of Swansea set-pieces in recent moments.

    Norwich 0-0 Birmingham

    The Canaries have had 80% possession and nine shots according to our match stats, but only one of those have been on target.

    Birmingham are occasionally threatening on the counter - Jonathan Leko looks relatively lively on first start.

    Reading 0-0 Wycombe

    Nothing much to report in this one yet.

    Alex Samuel has had the game's only effort on goal but it's comfortable for Reading keeper Rafael Cabral.

    It's turning into a good physical game though with both sides really going for it early on.

    League Two update

    Cambridge are back in front against Port Vale thanks to Paul Mullin's second of the evening, which was a first-time finish from inside the box.

    That's nine goals in seven league appearances for the forward this season, and a third successive double.

    Better news for Paul Scholes, whose Salford side are 1-0 up at home against Southend, with Harry Lennon putting through his own net.

    Harrogate took the lead at Grimsby, but James Tilley has hit back immediately for the Mariners.

    Oldham boss Harry Kewell is having to watch from home after testing positive for Covid-19 - and his Latics side have fallen behind against Carlisle.

  17. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:13 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Millwall 0-0 Luton

    More chances for the Lions.

    First Matt Smith hits the post with a close-range header at the back post after meeting a cross from the left.

    Then Jed Wallace has his follow-up effort saved by Luton keeper Simon Sluga.

  18. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Huddersfield 0-0 Derby

    Derby want a penalty as Tom Lawrence goes down under a challenge from Jonathan Hogg, but I think he'd let the ball out of his grasp and the referee seems to agree.

    Kamil Jozwiak then bends one just off target for the Rams, who are on top.

  19. Postpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 20 October 2020

    Coventry 1-0 Swansea

    Coventry come close to a second goal against Swansea, as Ryan Giles' cross from the left picks out Callum O'Hare, but he can't keep his header down.

    Bristol City 0-0 Middlesbrough

    There haven't been too many chances at Ashton Gate, but Chuba Akpom has had his second opportunity for Boro.

    The striker has seen a cross-shot from a tight angle tipped over by Robins keeper Daniel Bentley.
