    Burton have raced out of the blocks tonight and already have a THREE-goal lead at home to Bolton.

    I was just about to say that Brewers captain John Brayford's header has added to Joe Powell's tap-in.

    But Brayford has just scored again!

    Millwall 0-0 QPR

    Former Millwall forward on BBC Radio London

    "At the moment, everything for Millwall is going through Jed Wallace.

    "It's proving tricky for QPR and they're having some testing times dealing with him when he gets on the ball."

    Cardiff 0-0 Coventry

    Coventry's Callum O'Hare is looking lively tonight.

    He has carried the ball forward nicely on a couple of occasions, first trying to tee up Viktor Gyokeres, before shooting just wide.

    Exeter City and Sutton United both have a chance of moving into the automatic promotion places tonight but they are both a goal down.

    Bristol Rovers winger Harry Anderson has picked up the ball on the edge of the box and swept it home neatly to put his side in front at home to Sutton.

    Luke Armstrong has put Harrogate ahead at Exeter.

    First real chance of the evening for the home side.

    Cardiff 0-0 Coventry

    At the weekend, Coventry won a thriller away at Reading, a side hovering near the relegation zone.

    Cardiff are in a similar situation, albeit three consecutive wins recently have pulled them somewhat clear.

    The Bluebirds have the first chance as young striker Max Watters tries a header which is kept out by the alert visiting keeper Simon Moore.

    Sutton United's charge up the League Two table has hit the buffers somewhat with three successive draws. However, a win tonight at mid-table Bristol Rovers could send them back into the top three.

    If Exeter City beat Harrogate it will be they who move into third spot in the fourth tier. The Grecians are in excellent nick with three successive wins, while Harrogate's play-off hopes appear to be fading by the week.

    Second-placed Tranmere suffered a shock loss at managerless Walsall on Saturday. Micky Mellon's side are 11 points off leaders Forest Green, having played a game more, but a win over Hartlepool tonight will help to keep the chasing pack at bay.

    • Exeter City v Harrogate Town
    • Hartlepool United v Tranmere Rovers

    It's a big night for second-placed Wigan in League One as they look to cut the gap on leaders Rotherham and move further clear of the chasing pack behind them. Leam Richardson's men have three games in hand on the Millers and host second-bottom Crewe, who have lost their past five and seem likely to exit the second tier the opposite way.

    Fellow strugglers Doncaster are also in action as they visit Lincoln City for what is a local-ish derby of sorts. Rovers are in desperate need of points as they look to pull off a great escape, while the Imps still have some relegation concerns of their own.

    Bolton Wanderers are charging up the table like a marauding centre-back right now. Victory at mid-table Burton tonight would put the Trotters firmly in the play-off conversation.

    • Lincoln City v Doncaster Rovers

    A run of three successive wins alleviated Cardiff's relegation concerns before their defeat at Millwall on Saturday. They'll hope to get back on track tonight against a Coventry side who remain in the race for a play-off spot despite their indifferent recent form.

    Millwall's record this season reads 10 wins, 10 draws and 10 defeats. Perfect. Sadly that wonderful record is going to be sullied one way or the other this evening. The Lions will hope to pick up an 11th win against their local rivals. QPR suffered a surprise defeat at Barnsley on Saturday but remain firmly in the top six.

    Sheffield United have been in excellent form under new boss Paul Heckingbottom. Victory tonight would move the Blades level on points with sixth-placed Middlesbrough. Hull City have made a more indifferent start to life under their new manager Shota Arveladze, but should be clear of relegation concerns.

    Tonight's EFL live text will be popular with fans of symmetry.

    We've got three games in the Championship, a trio of League One clashes and a triumvirate of League Two matches.

    We're heading towards the run-in now and every game has something on it at the top or bottom of the league.

    As Eminem, who may or may not be a fan of EFL football, said in 2002, let's get down to business.
