    Blackpool 1-0 Preston

    The visitors are having some pressure as they look for a way back into this one.

    There's been a few bookings now which, to be fair, you would have expected from this rivalry.

    Swindon 0-2 Bradford

    There will need to be some reaction from Swindon, who find themselves two goals down at home.

    They will be desperate to get a goal back or face the abuse from fans on their way into the dressing room.

  3. CLOSE!published at 15:43 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Peterborough 0-0 QPR

    Peterborough have been more than holding their own but are fortunate to still be level.

    Ilias Chair's shot is spilled by David Cornell but the home keeper does well to keep Lyndon Dykes' rebound out, with Charlie Austin then blasting wide.

    QPR should've put one of those away.

  4. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Brom 1-0 Bristol City

    West Brom have been really good here so far.

    Karlan Grant finds Robert Snodgrass, making his first start of the season, and the Scotland international curls the ball against the inside of the post and out.

    Bristol City are on the ropes.

  5. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Birmingham 0-0 Swansea

    Birmingham's Scott Hogan has the ball in the back of the net, but his strike is ruled out.

    Looks like the forward was offside in the build-up.

  6. League Two updatepublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    It's been a good few minutes for away sides in League Two.

    Salford City are in front at table-topping Forest Green thanks to Brandon Thomas-Asante's half-volley.

    Harrogate are now back up to second in the table, with two goals in quick succession at Hartlepool.

    It's a similar story for Newport County, who have a 2-0 lead at Bristol Rovers.

    Just the one goal advantage, meanwhile, for Bradford at Swindon.

    West Brom 1-0 Bristol City

    They started 15 minutes late at The Hawthorns because of a medical emergency and there's now been a six-minute break in play as Bristol City defender Nathan Baker is stretchered off injured.

    Cameron Pring comes on in his place.

  8. Cardiff sack McCarthypublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 23 October 2021
    Breaking

    FT: Cardiff 0-2 Middlesbrough

    Bit of breaking EFL news for you.

    Cardiff have sacked boss Mick McCarthy after they slumped to a eighth straight league defeat against Middlesbrough earlier this afternoon.

    Luton 1-0 Hull

    Hull have struggled to get anything going since falling behind.

    Keane Lewis-Potter is probing but sees his free-kick from 25 yards well blocked.

    Blackburn 0-0 Reading

    Sam Gallgher curls a shot from outside the area against the post as Rovers come close to breaking the deadlock.

    Bournemouth 2-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield threaten for the first time as in-form winger Sorba Thomas fires a free-kick narrowly over the crossbar.

    Long way back for the Terriers at the league leaders it has to be said.

    Look at Birmingham City's away kit, they are playing in Brazil colours!

    Yellow shirts, blue shorts and white socks.

    I've done a bit of digging and it's a nod to their Europa League campaign from 2011.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:29 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Coventry 1-0 Derby

    A chance for Coventry's Matthew Godden to double his lead but this time his shot is matched superbly by Derby stopper Kelle Roos who tips the ball around the post with a fine diving save.

    All Coventry right now.

  14. League One updatepublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    They have conceded four in two consecutive games, but this time Portsmouth are the ones finding the net, with Republic of Ireland international Ronan Curtis putting them in front at Accrington.

    Meanwhile, it's a crucial opening for Doncaster through Joe Dodoo. If it stays that way, the former Leicester City player's side would move up and off the bottom of the League One table.

    That's because it's still 0-0 between Crewe and promotion-chasing Wycombe.

    Keshi Anderson (27 mins)

    I said there hadn't been much goalmouth action, well there's been some now!

    Keshi Anderson sends the home fans into pandemonium with a powerful low shot.

  16. ouch!

    West Brom 1-0 Bristol City

    This game is being played at 100mph.

    Conor Townsend delivers a sumptuous cross for the hosts but goalscorer Jordan Hugill is off-target this time and goes on to collide with the post.

    It's a painful one but I think he'll be OK to continue.

    Blackpool 0-0 Preston

    Plenty of endeavour but not much goalmouth action in this derby so far...

  18. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    West Brom 1-0 Bristol City

    Moments after falling behind Bristol City think they've equalised through Nahki Wells, only for a very late offside flag to deny them.

    We'll need to see a replay of that one.

    They say you should never go back!

    But Nathan Jones seems to be making it happen at Luton, so all credit to him.

    GOAL: Coventry 1-0 Derbypublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 23 October 2021

    Matthew Godden (20 mins)

    Penalty to Coventry as defender Lee Buchanan brings down Matthew Godden.

    And it's the striker who takes the spot-kick, firing the ball past Derby keeper Kelle Roos.
