Bradley Dack makes his return for Blackburn after suffering a serious knee injury on 23 December last year.

The midfielder is on along with Stewart Downing and Ben Brereton in a triple change by Rovers boss Tony Mowbray.

Adam Reach's strike still separates the sides.

Can the hosts avoid a fourth defeat in five?

Birmingham get a glimpse of goal in the Forest box but Ivan Sunjic's shot is claimed with minimum fuss by Brice Samba.

Still waiting for the breakthrough at the City Ground.

Tom McIntyre was the Reading hero at the other end with his goal and he has denied the fired-up Hatters doing his regular defensive job.

Blocked Luke Berry's effort after James Collins' weaving, driving run created the chance.

Big goal at the bottom of League One as Will Keane blasts Wigan into the lead from the spot against Shrewsbury.

Welsh forward Wes Burns has just put Fleetwood Town in front at Crewe. As it stands, Joey Barton's side are just a point off the play-offs.

No change in any of our other League One games.

David Marshall foiling Preston on his own at the moment, as the underpowered 10-man Rams are being set upon by the visitors.

This time he's got to a Tom Barkhuizen rocket at the near post. Great connection, but it's a key save. Goalless still.

Nathan Jones has gone nuclear with his subs at half-time, sending on three changes.

Rhys Norrington-Davies, Keirnan Dewsbury-Hall and Danny Hylton are on.

I was very impressed with Dewsbury-Hall last time I saw Luton, looks a class act. He'll need to be on it today to turn this around.

Stoke leave the posts shaking after Jordan Thompson diverts his shot onto the woodwork after getting to a cut-back from the dead-ball line.

Jacob Brown with some skills to wriggle in down the right, but it was a scuffed connection from Thompson.

Bright opening for the Potters.

Brentford bossed possession in the first half but failed to have an effort on target.

Their 13-match unbeaten run is under threat after Will Vaulks' wonder-goal broke the deadlock just before the break.

Ooof so nearly a second for the Robins just after the restart and again it's Nahki Wells who is guilty of wasting a prime opportunity.

One-on-one and he drags his effort wide.

Should've been two.

Oranges, jelly babies and isotonic sports drinks have all been imbibed.

Meanwhile, I hope you've managed to snare a mince pie or few sweets - some kind of sustenance at least - to keep you fuelled for the second-half.

The second halves are getting under way up and down the country.

We've had goals, super goals, sending-off...

Teams everywhere are heading to the dressing rooms, it's half-time in most of the 15:00 GMT kick-offs.

Time to take a breath. It's been lively.

It's a festive cracker at Ashton Gate, real end-to-end stuff.

First City's Callum O'Dowda cuts inside and forces a fine save from Wycombe keeper Ryan Allsop.

And then Wycombe go close as Scott Kashket wriggles clear before whipping in a terrific delivery which Jack Hunt does very well to head clear with Adebayo Akinfenwa lurking.
