    That's as far as we go for now but we'll be back in a couple of hours!

    We've got one more fixture on its way later this evening from London Road as Championship returnees Peterborough United host West Brom.

    This match was originally due to take place on Friday but those big wigs at the EFL obviously decided they wanted to keep your Saturday football fix going a bit longer instead.

    West Brom will hope to come away with a victory to keep up with early pace-setters Fulham, who beat Stoke 3-0 earlier, while Peterborough are searching for a second win of the season.

    Make sure to join us for all the build-up to that one from 19:45 BST.
