Cardiff City boss Mick McCarthy has a record against Luton Town that Hatters fans won't be pleased to read.

In his extensive managerial career, McCarthy has faced Luton more often without a defeat than any other club in the league.

So it'll be a relief for them to also hear that Luton have lost just once in their past eight home league games.

Game on.

The hosts have been forced into an early change.

Ex-Wednesday defender Morgan Fox has to leave the field and Josh Tymon is on in his place.

Portsmouth had taken the lead against Bristol Rovers in League One thanks to John Marquis but the struggling Pirates have levelled soon after through Jonah Ayunga.

Meanwhile in League Two, Forest Green are two goals up against Oxford after Baily Cargill scored his second.

Harrogate are ahead against Carlisle thanks to Josh March's penalty, Ian Henderson has sent Salford 1-0 up against Barrow, Bradford are level against Morecambe courtesy of Anthony O'Connor.

And lastly, Cheltenham are back level with Walsall courtesy of Sam Smith finishing after the Robins pounced on a defensive mishap from the back.

The visitors create another presentable chance but Jordan Rhodes directs his header from Kadeem Harris's cross too close to Angus Gunn in the Stoke goal.

Wycombe have won just once in their past nine home games in the Championship, with their most recent victory coming against Cardiff in December.

They take on a Derby County side tonight who have kept a clean sheet in four of their past six games under manager Wayne Rooney.

On Saturday the Chairboys pulled off a remarkable 3-2 victory against Huddersfield.

Can they make it two wins from two and reduce the 10-point gap to safety?

It's been a game of few chances at Deepdale in the opening 30 minutes.

North End win a free kick in a dangerous area which Daniel Johnson floats into the box.

Before Liam Lindsay can latch onto it, however, Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann does well to collect the ball.

Still goalless.

When do you reckon Huddersfield last won away at Middlesbrough.

Go on, I'll wait.

New Year's Day 1986.

Can they end that run against a Middlesbrough side who have lost their past four league games at home in a row?

Could League Two Tranmere be off to Wembley? Well they've just doubled their lead in the Papa John's Trophy semi-final against League One Oxford United.

Kieron Morris has bagged Rovers their second goal and it's come just after Matty Taylor missed a penalty for Karl Robinson's side.

Just over 20 minutes remain.

Still goalless in the Potteries but it's the visitors who have come closest to breaking the deadlock.

Liam Shaw's header came back off the crossbar from Barry Bannan's corner.

A win tonight will move the Owls out of the Championship relegation zone.

Blackpool have just taken the lead against League One strugglers Rochdale thanks to Sullay Kaikai.

In League Two, Forest Green are ahead at home to Oldham courtesy of Billy Cargill and 10-man Exeter have gone in front at Newport through Ryan Bowman.

Ched Evans is causing Watford problems in these early stages as Preston take a foothold at Deepdale.

The Lilywhites striker tries his luck again having worked the ball well upfield but his shot from a tight angle swerves just wide of the mark.

Nice, open start to this one.

Sheffield Wednesday defender Tom Lees almost diverts a Jacob Brown cross into his own goal.

First chance of this game goes to Preston as Ched Evans does well to work onto a ball from Ben Whiteman.

There's a let off for Watford through as, after he does well to hold the ball up, Evans shoots over the bar.

In League One, Peterborough have turned it around after the break against Gillingham as they now lead thanks to goals from Jonson Clarke-Harris and Siriki Dembele.

That was tonight's only 18:00 GMT kick-off in the EFL.

Meanwhile in League Two there's plenty of early action in the 19:00 games with Walsall leading Cheltenham courtesy of Caolan Lavery.

Elsewhere, John O'Sullivan has given Morecambe the lead over Bradford and Exeter have been reduced to 10 men in their match at Newport after Alex Hartridge was dismissed for foul play.

Away from the on-field action we've got some great news to bring you from Shrewsbury.

Boss Steve Cotterill had been in hospital with Covid-19 since 15 January but he's now back home.

Hopefully it wont be too long until he is back at the training ground and on the sidelines.

Big drama in Papa John's Trophy semi-final.

Oxford win a penalty as Robert Atkinson is brought down in the box but there's a huge let off for Tranmere.

Bristol City take on a Reading side who lost to Millwall on Saturday as they look to make up for their 6-0 hammering by Watford.

The Royals beat the Robins at their Madejski Stadium home earlier this campaign and will be looking to do a league double over their opponents for the first time since 2016-17.

Meanwhile, Bristol City are unbeaten in their past three league games against Reading at home.

This could be a decent fixture.

We are under way across the English Football League including the two Championship games between Preston and Watford and Stoke and Sheffield Wednesday.

Let's hope it's a good one.

Stoke take on Sheffield Wednesday this evening with an unenviable record at their Bet365 Stadium home.

The Potters are without a win in their past four Championship home games.

However the Owls don't have the best of records on the road, either.

Wednesday have won just one in their past 11 away games in the league.
