    Stoke 1-0 Rotherham

    Not been a lot to report in the second half of this one so far, but Dan Barlazer almost nods Rotherham level.

    He can't quite direct his header from a Matt Crooks header on target.

  2. League One latestpublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Ipswich are in front against Crewe through Oli Hawkins and are currently heading top if things stay as they are.

    Bottom side Burton have levelled against Blackpool, while Swindon have turned things around against Hull and lead 2-1.

    Lincoln, leaders at the start of the day, still trail at Doncaster.

    Bournemouth 0-1 Derby

    Bournemouth getting closer to a leveller.

    Arnaut Danjuma strikes the post with a curling effort that looks to have beaten David Marshall and then he is denied again by the goalkeeper on a follow up inside the area.

    Luton 0-2 Brentford

    Brentford almost kill the game on the counter.

    Sergi Canos is the instigator, travelling from his own half with the ball and beating Luton defender Glen Rea before skewing his shot just wide.

  5. CLOSE!published at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    Almost for Forest.

    Ryan Yates glances a header just wide from a corner.

    We still wait for a goal.

  6. CLOSE!published at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Millwall 0-1 Huddersfield

    Couple of close efforts from Huddersfield.

    Isaac Mbenza goes just inches wide as he places a shot from 20 yards. Moments after Adama Diakhaby also puts a low drive wide.

    It's a good spell from Huddersfield who are looking for that second.

    Barnsley 1-0 Watford

    George Miller has a clear sight of goal for Barnsley but volleys wide.

    Watford keeper Ben Foster must've been expecting to be called into action there.

    The hosts continue to threaten despite having a slender lead to hold onto.

    Dylan Wilby: I was a staunch advocate of giving Monk a free hit this season, considering the points deduction. We’ll be relegated by Christmas if we keep playing like this, though. Losing to Rotherham and Wycombe on the trot would be disastrous.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Wycombe 1-0 Sheff Wed

    Joe Wildsmith in the Sheffield Wednesday goal makes a fine stop to keep them in the game.

    Wycombe's Adebayo Akinfenwa diverts Jack Grimmer's long pass into the path of Scott Kashket, whose strike is expertly kept out.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 2-0 Blackburnpublished at 16:21 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Andre Ayew (61 mins)

    Swansea weather a bit of a storm from Blackburn and then pounce to double their lead on the hour.

    Andre Ayew makes it 2-0 to the hosts as Yan Dhanda put in a ball across the box from the right and Ayew met it on the run with his head to place it neatly into the far corner.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    Boro with some nice work with the ball in the Forest box before it falls to George Saville who puts his shot over.

    Stoke 1-0 Rotherham

    Bit of a lengthy delay in this match as Rotherham midfielder Shaun MacDonald receives treatment after landing awkwardly following an aerial challenge.

  13. CLOSE!published at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Barnsley 1-0 Watford

    A rare opportunity for Watford.

    Ismaila Sarr goes on a mazy run and finds Tom Cleverley, who skies his shot when he really ought to have least hit the target.

  14. CLOSE!published at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Millwall 0-1 Huddersfield

    Almost a leveller for Millwall.

    Jed Wallace with the effort from long-range but it goes narrowly over the bar.

    Unlucky.

  15. Postpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Preston 1-1 Birmingham

    Preston pushing to come from behind and take the lead at Deepdale.

    Two fine chances in quick succession see Paul Gallagher feed Tom Barkhuizen and his shot across goal is parried, it's then cleared for Darnell Fisher whose cross finds Alan Browne and he heads over at the back post.

    Rob Fanner: Season defining half of football for Bournemouth. Solanke needs a bit of luck!

    Bit early to say season defining surely Rob?! But agreed, the Cherries won't want to be dropping points against a Derby side so out of form.

    No mistake from Joe Ralls who slots the spot kick nicely into the corner.

    Game on!

  18. PENALTY TO CARDIFFpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    QPR 2-0 Cardiff

    Great chance for the Bluebirds to get back into this.

    Yoann Barbet is booked for the foul on Kieffer Moore in the box.

    Luton 0-2 Brentford

    Luton made a second change at half-time - Luke Berry on for Rhys Norrington-Davies - but Brentford remain on top.

    Josh Dasilva puts in a nice cross and Ivan Toney's header is just off-target as he looks to move into double figures for the season.

  20. Postpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020

    Swansea 1-0 Blackburn

    Rovers still pushing for a leveller in this one and Adam Armstrong sees a shot on target easily held by Freddie Woodman.

    Was straight at the Swans keeper.
