Stoke 0-0 Bournemouth
Cherries come close to taking the lead, as Philip Billing slides in at the back post to attack a cross, but it fizzes wide.
Stoke looked a little static there.

Stoke 0-0 Bournemouth
Cherries come close to taking the lead, as Philip Billing slides in at the back post to attack a cross, but it fizzes wide.
Stoke looked a little static there.
Bristol City 0-0 Nottingham Forest
First big chance for Bristol City as midfielder Alex Scott flashes a volley off target.
The Robins, remember, are searching for their first home win of the season and first at Ashton Gate since 26 January.
Tom Lawrence (21 mins)
Derby go in front but it's sloppy defending from the Hatters which hands them the chance to do it.
Sonny Bradley is robbed by the lively Jason Knight, who has really stepped up amid the adversity at Derby, and drove forward.
His little nudge into the path of Tom Lawrence is smashed goalwards by the Rams' skipper and nestles in the corner past Simon Sluga.
Sheff Utd 0-1 Millwall
Sheffield United have responded well to the Millwall goal, but nothing to really trouble the 'Bartman' - Bartosz Bialkowski.
Ben Osborn got half a glimpse of goal from the edge of the box but his effort was blocked at point-blank range.
The Millwall support have been belting out their ominous sounding roar since going in front. It's a real din from a hardy knot of fans who have travelled from south London.

Squad Goals
15 minutes into this game and Bolton Wanderers are suffering.
Another set piece and that just trickled past all of the Bolton players as well.
It was from the edge of the box this goal, popped into the space to Connor Grant and he just took a shot.
Bolton are heading for a third-straight loss, while it is looking like a third win in a row for League One leaders Plymouth.
Stoke 0-0 Bournemouth
Jack Stacey dribbles a shot through which is taken low easily by Adam Davies.
Bournemouth are dictating the pace, but Stoke are offering plenty of threat at the other end.
There's ample pace within their ranks to stretch the Cherries backline.

Ipswich Rover: This could be the sacking of Richie Wellens should Doncaster lose tonight.
They're still goalless with Gillingham but two wins from their opening 12 matches tells its own story.
QPR 0-0 Blackburn
Early chance for Blackburn as Daniel Butterworth drives forward from the halfway line.
The forward makes it into the area but can only drag his shot harmlessly wide.
Big let-off for QPR.
Stoke 0-0 Bournemouth
Ged Scott
at the Bet 365 Stadium
It's not actually a cold night in Stoke at all. In fact, it's a comparatively warm night. Unseasonably warm. So much so that, having arrived in the Potteries laden with an extra jumper, I actually took it off prior to kick-off.
It was also nearly a very warm start by the hosts, who could - and maybe should - have scored within the first 20 seconds.
The boos aimed by the Stoke fans at Bournemouth's players for not 'taking the knee' had still not faded away when Jacob Brown ghosted in behind, down the inside-left channel, but dragged his left-foot shot wide.
Not many Cherries fans here. Possibly not quite as many home fans as usual either. And that has all added up to a rather uncharacteristically quiet start.
Derby 0-0 Luton
Pensive fare at Pride Park, as Derby feel out the threat of Luton, and vice versa.
Once the teams settle, we might get some excitement.
Jed Wallace (11 mins)
Millwall take the lead at Bramall Lane and it's a dipping, swerving cross-shot from Jed Wallace which catches Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen out from the right side.
It zips and dips, curling its way into the far corner, leaving Olsen red-faced, and not from the October cold.
Bristol City 0-0 Nottingham Forest
Big early chance for Steve Cooper's Forest as Lewis Grabban pings in a lovely ball to Brennan Johnson.
But the attacking midfielder checks himself when he should shoot first-time and ends up wasting the opportunity.
League leaders Plymouth have already gone in front against Bolton, with Brendan Galloway getting the opening goal for the hosts after six minutes.
Elsewhere, Wimbledon have also gone 1-0 up at Lincoln thanks to a penalty by Aaron Pressley five minutes in.
Harry Pell's 25-yard stunner has put Accrington in front at Charlton.

Stoke 0-0 Bournemouth
Stoke City get the first shot across the bows, though Jacob Brown's effort is a tame one and trickles wide.
Bournemouth's away kit seems to have been modelled on a John Deere tractor, by the way.
A curious mix of green, black and a flash of luminous yellow.
Wigan 0-0 MK Dons

Wigan Athletic are on a high after thrashing local rivals Bolton 4-0 on Saturday. But this is the beauty of League One… anything can happen - have Latics had their energy sapped from all the euphoria of that derby-day victory?Any slip-ups and Liam Manning’s MK Dons will punish them. The 36-year-old has a side with quality and experience who doggedly stick to a passing style of play.MK haven’t won in the league since beating Wycombe nearly a month ago now though… I’ve got my eye on Twine and Eisa to cause Wigan some problems and the indomitable Hiram Boateng to be everywhere.As for Wigan, James McClean is on fire, Will Keane has been excellent and local lad Callum Lang is living his best life right now.

Sheff Utd 0-0 Millwall
Jed Wallace has the ball in the net for the Lions, but it's chalked off for offside.
Warning shot for the Blades there.

Right then.
We're about to go.
Five Championship games, and full programmes in Leagues One and Two.
Stick with us.
Over in League Two meanwhile, Forest Green head to Leyton Orient looking to continue their 100% record of wins over the Londoners in the division.
We’ve got a second v fourth place battle as Harrogate take on in-form Tranmere, who are currently on the league’s best run and are unbeaten in the last five.
Third-placed Port Vale have a fairly short journey to struggling Mansfield, while Scunthorpe remain rooted to the bottom of the table and head to Barrow searching for their first away win since March.
