    Reading 0-0 Peterborough

    The two worst defences in the Championship meet in Berkshire.

    Reading boss Veljko Paunovic has made just one change for this game, with Luke Southwood starting in goal.

    Regular keeper Rafael Cabral is out of the squad altogether.

    A rumour was swirling around social media earlier today that the Brazilian broke his hand while striking out in frustration in the dressing room after conceding a late equaliser against QPR.

    Posh have not won at Reading in the league since 1968, and striker Jonson Clarke-Harris is among three changes by Darren Ferguson after their thrashing at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

    Blackpool 0-0 Huddersfield

    No early goalmouth action by the seaside.

    Blackpool upset previously unbeaten Fulham to pick up their first win of the season on Saturday and they'll be looking to build on that this evening.

    “You just want your players to be fearless and go and express themselves.

    "Coming in at a new club you can think 'I have point to prove' or come in with no fear saying 'I’m a young player and I’m going to show you what I’m all about' and he’s done that and left his mark.”

    Morgan Gibbs-White has certainly made a big impact for the Blades since joining on loan from Wolves!

    Jaidon Anthony (12 mins)

    The hosts take the lead in the tussle of the two unbeaten teams, somewhat against the run of play.

    R's centre-back Rob Dickie is caught in possession by Jaidon Anthony, who advances into the box on the left.

    The Cherries forward beats Seny Dieng from a narrow angle, slotting right-footed across goal for his second goal of the campaign.

    Tyrhys Dolan has curled an effort narrowly wide for Rovers.

    The 19-year-old netted for the Ewood Park side in their draw against Luton at the weekend.

    "Changing from an artificial pitch to a grass pitch is a big difference to the players.

    "I think you should step in with confidence and believing that you belong in that league.

    "They’ve got some good players there and they can show their quality when they find their feet."

    Sutton have endured a tough start to life in League Two but their opponents tonight Hartlepool, who were also promoted, have adapted much better in the early games.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Preston

    No early goals at Sheffield United so far this evening.

    The Blades are giving a debut to Sweden international goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

    He spent last season on loan at Everton from Roma and has come in to replace Aaron Ramsdale.

    Bournemouth 0-0 QPR

    The west Londoners have started with some early pressure at Bournemouth.

    Sam McCallum draws a foul but Ilias Chair's speculative free-kick goes wide.

    Lyndon Dykes is back for QPR tonight after being rested at the weekend following his exertions on international duty.

    The Scotland striker has three in three league outings for Rangers, and five goals in six games for club and country. But there's no Charlie Austin for the visitors tonight.

    Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson will hope to see a response from his side after they lost 6-2 at Sheffield United on Saturday

    The two 20:00 BST kick-offs offer interest at both ends of the table.

    West Bromwich Albion sneaked a point clear at the top of the table despite missing out on a fifth straight win when they drew against Millwall on Saturday.

    The unbeaten Baggies can extend their lead at the summit when they host Derby County, with Wayne Rooney's men three without a win.

    And, is it too early in the season for a relegation six-pointer?

    It's 22nd against 23rd as Reading host Peterborough United.

    Both clubs are four without a win and are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.

    Games involving the Royals have seen a league-high 26 goals go in, while Posh suffered a third successive defeat when they lost 6-2 at Sheffield United at the weekend.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Hull City have gone five Championship games without a goal since their 4-1 demolition of Preston on the opening day.

    The Tigers last went six league games without a goal in December 1920. Eesh.

    However, the visitors have some hope, as Blackburn haven't kept a clean sheet since mid-March - a run of 16 games in all competitions.

    Can Rovers keeper Thomas Kaminski mark his 50th league outing for the club with a shut-out?

    Blackburn dropped two points late on to draw 2-2 at home to Luton on Saturday, while Hull City are without a goal in the league since the opening day.

    Blackpool recorded their first win of the season to end Fulham's unbeaten start and they'll be hoping to build on that against Huddersfield, who saw their three-match winning run brought to a halt by defeat at Stoke on Saturday.

    Bournemouth and QPR have both won three and drawn three of their six Championship matches this campaign. The R's are the league's top scorers with 14 so far this season.

    Sheffield United recorded their first league win of the season with a thumping 6-2 win over Peterborough and they host a Preston side who have picked up seven points in their past three games.
