    Coventry 0-0 Cardiff

    Two teams who have made good starts to the season.

    The Sky Blues, back in their home city, are looking to make it five wins from seven league games.

    Stoke 0-0 Barnsley

    The hosts have made a great start to this season and they could end the day top of the table with a victory.

    No early goalmouth action to speak of so far.

    Swansea City 0-0 Millwall

    Nott'm Forest 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough have the first effort of the game as James Lea-Siliki sends an effort over the crossbar.

    Boro have only won one of their six games so far this season and, like their hosts, need to get points on the board quickly.

    Birmingham City 0-0 Fulham

    Birmingham enjoying the bulk of the early possession at St Andrew's.

    Tahith Chong mishits an attempted cross that forces Paulo Gazzaniga into having to gather it low and be alert.

    But Fulham come up the other end and nearly find the perfect through ball for Aleksandar Mitrovic to connect with, but it's just out of the reach of his outstretched right leg.

    Which side will step out of the shadows at St Andrew's this evening?

    Marco Silva's Fulham are hoping to bounce back from a first defeat of the campaign on Saturday while Blues are looking to make it four games unbeaten.

    A win for the visitors would take them back to the top but will Stoke also be able to join them?

  9. Elsewhere in the Championshippublished at 19:40 British Summer Time 15 September 2021

    Bristol City and Luton Town both have records of two wins, two draws and two defeats and they meet at Ashton Gate where, based on that, you'd probably say a draw seems the most likely result.

    Coventry have made an impressive start to the campaign and a win against Cardiff City tonight will send them level on points with the current top two.

    Stoke have also made a bright start to the season and they'll be looking to continue that against a Barnsley side who have won just one of their opening six games.

    Swansea, like the Tykes, have won just once this campaign and are still finding their feet under new boss Russell Martin. They host a Millwall side who also have just the sole victory from their first half dozen games of the season.

    Yesterday's results mean that a victory for Fulham tonight will see them end the day atop the Championship.

    However, they probably couldn't have wished for a sterner test right now.

    Birmingham City have conceded just three goals in their six games to date and look more than capable of putting their recent seasons at the wrong end of the table behind them.

    New arrival Troy Deeney is named on the bench again and the boyhood Blues fan will be desperate to get on and get his first goal for his club.

    Fulham meanwhile are looking to bounce back after suffering a surprise 1-0 reverse at Blackpool on Saturday.

    The visitors opt to start with Aleksandar Mitrovic up front on his own as Neeskens Kebano drops to the bench.

    Tuesday recap

    There were also six games in the Championship yesterday

    Bournemouth kept up their unbeaten start to the season as they consigned QPR to their first defeat of the season with a 2-1 in Dorset.

    That result moved them level on points and goal difference with West Brom at the top of the league after the Baggies were held to a goalless draw by a battling Derby County.

    Huddersfield scored three second half goals to win 3-0 at Blackpool and moved up to fourth.

    Sheffield United were pegged back by virtually the last kick of the game to draw 2-2 with Preston, Blackburn beat struggling Hull City 2-0 and Reading recorded a 3-1 win over Peterborough to alleviate some of their early-season woes.

    The season might only be six games old but for Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton a defeat at home by Middlesbrough this evening could see him out of a job.

    The Reds have taken just one point from their first half a dozen games to make this their worst start to a league season in 108 years.

    The vastly experienced Hughton knows what that means for his job stability and former England captain John Terry was moved to distance himself from speculation linking him with the possible vacancy yesterday.

    We'll be bringing you all the updates from the huge game at the City Ground plus the five other second tier games taking place this evening.

    Let's get to it.
