  1. The players are out and ready for the 19:45 GMT kick-offs... Let's get down to business! The crowds roar at Luton and Wycombe in the Championship, as well as at Charlton, Shrewsbury and Cambridge. Enjoy!

  2. Timing is everything

    Wycombe v Stoke (19:45 GMT)

    The owner of a black Honda has just been asked to return to their car outside Adams Park. You wait all this time...let's hope it's just a minor case of lights left on.

  3. Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea

    Former Cardiff boss Neil Warnock had won six of his nine home EFL games against Swansea as a manager before tonight, stretching all the way from his time with Scarborough. Now his Boro side are on top against the Swans again.

  4. Fans return to Kenilworth Road

    Luton v Norwich (19:45 GMT)

    It’s been a long nine months but it’s good to have fans back in at Kenilworth Road.

    They’re at both ends and the David Preece stand, there was a huge roar when the team came out. We’ve missed that.

    Luton have organised this brilliantly, let’s hope the game lives up to the occasion.

    CAN YOU HEAR THE FANS CHEER?!

    League Two update

    Actual supporters have just witnessed an English Football League team score live.

    Lewis Alessandra is the lucky man to feel the rush of hitting the back of the net in front of a crowd at long, long last, putting Carlisle United 1-0 up against Salford City.

  6. Goals galore in the third tier

    League One update

    We were made to wait a little while for our first goal tonight, but they're flowing now.

    League One leaders Hull City have gone in front against Doncaster Rovers through Josh Magennis' strike from the edge of the box.

    Elsewhere, Bristol Rovers are 1-0 down at home to Gillingham, while former Pirates forward Jonson Clarke-Harris has pulled one back for Peterborough United at AFC Wimbledon.

    Posh have 20 minutes to find an equaliser.

  7. We're now just 15 minutes away from kick-off in four Championship fixtures, with leaders Norwich up against Luton and 1,000 Hatters fans and the same number of home fans ready to be entertained at Adams Park.

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea

    Duncan Watmore (26 mins)

    A quick counter attack from Boro leads to the opening goal in the Championship tonight as Marvin Johnson sets up Duncan Watmore, who finds the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

    However, it did take a massive deflection, completely wrong-footing the keeper. It's gone in the opposite corner to the one Watmore aimed at. But Boro won't be bothered by that! 1-0.

  9. Ainsworth takes the acclaim

    Wycombe v Stoke (19:45 GMT)

    Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth gets a standing ovation as he walks around the perimeter of the Adams Park pitch. The fans in here tonight are able to show their personal gratitude to Ainsworth for the first time since he guided the club into the Championship for the first time.

  10. Dons double their lead

    League One update

    And AFC Wimbledon are now 2-0 up against Peterborough thanks to Joe Pigott, who has scored his eighth of the season.

    It's not been a great week for Posh, beaten by non-league Chorley in the FA Cup on Saturday.

  11. 'Fans seeing each other for first time since March'

    Charlton v MK Dons (19:45 GMT)

    Getting to the ground has been super easy - very well organised. Temperature check, symptoms check, asked to wash our hands and then just in.

    They offered a free hot chocolate and after looking around we decided to take our seat. The stand is pretty full, the atmosphere is really great and emotional for many fans.

    Families and all-age fans are together, many seeing each other for the first time since March!

  12. First EFL goal of the evening

    League One update

    WimbledonRex Features

    We're still yet to have a goal in our five 19:00 GMT kick-offs... But we do have one in our 18:00 GMT game!

    Ryan Longman has put AFC Wimbledon in front against Peterborough, who will slip out of the League One automatic promotion places if it stays like this.

  13. Middlesbrough 0-0 Swansea

    It's been a quiet first 15 minutes at Middlesbrough but the hosts have edged it slightly. No gilt-edged chances to report just yet.

  14. Listen to that roar!

    Charlton v MK Dons (19:45 GMT)

    The 2,000 Carlisle fans haven't taken long to jovially boo the referee, showing their disapproval for Callum Guy's early yellow card. Welcome back!

  17. Middlesbrough 0-0 Swansea

    If results go their way, Swansea might find themselves top of the Championship by the end of the night... It's been an even and quiet start at an empty Riverside.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Swansea

    Off we go, in our five 19:00 GMT kick-offs at Middlesbrough, Hull, Bristol Rovers, Walsall and at crowd-backed Carlisle.
