  1. A happy homecoming for Jones?published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2020

    Swansea 1-0 Luton

    Luton Town manager Nathan Jones is back in his native south Wales just a week after a miserable visit to Cardiff City, where his team were thumped 4-0.

    Jones, who hails from the Rhondda Valley, will be hoping for better this weekend - but things have not started well with Connor Roberts' deflected shot giving Swansea an early lead.

    Jones won at the Liberty Stadium not once but twice last season - with Luton in June and Stoke in October 2019.

    But after a frustrating defeat at Middlesbrough in midweek, Swansea's Steve Cooper - from Pontypridd - has got the early advantage in the latest battle of the Rhondda-born managers.

    Good battle so far with both sides creating chances keeping both keepers busy but it remains goalless at the Den.

    Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock will not like that.

    Morgan Fox swings in a deep cross from the left and Nathan Collins is totally unmarked to head home from six yards out.

    Uncharacteristically poor defending from Boro.

  20. Can Rams build after two points in their last two games?published at 14:59 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2020

    Millwall v Derby (15:00 GMT)

    These two sides are on the two current longest winless runs in the Championship, while the Lions have drawn more games than any other side in the division this season

    So, it's no wins in their last seven games for Millwall who were on their way to their sixth consecutive draw only for Blackburn to score a late winner on Wednesday.

    Bottom of the table Derby go into this on the back of two draws and are looking for consecutive league wins over Millwall for the first time since 2013.

    With just the one league win so far this season, can the Rams get their second at the Den?
