    All games kick off at 19:45 GMT

    Just a couple of games in League Two for you this evening but both with a lot riding on them.

    Bristol Rovers were storming up the league prior to defeat at Newport on Saturday but a victory at midtable Crawley tonight could move them to within a point of the play-offs.

    Eighth hosts seventh as Exeter welcome Swindon, the top of the fourth tier is so close that should that game produce a winner the team to take three points will go third.

    • Crawley Town v Bristol Rovers
    • Exeter City v Swindon Town

    Neither of League One's top two are in league action this evening so attention turns to third-placed MK Dons.

    Liam Manning's side are in superb form with four straight wins, including beating league leaders Rotherham on Saturday despite playing for over an hour with just 10 men.

    They host a Cheltenham side who walloped lowly Doncaster 4-0 on Saturday.

    Elsewhere, play-off chasers Ipswich and Sunderland welcome Lincoln and Fleetwood respectively.

    Bottom side Crewe play host to Portsmouth with time to turn their ailing season around quickly running out.

    • Crewe Alexandra v Portsmouth
    • Ipswich Town v Lincoln City
    • Milton Keynes Dons v Cheltenham Town
    • Plymouth Argyle v AFC Wimbledon
    • Sunderland v Fleetwood Town
    • Bolton Wanderers v Morecambe (20:00 GMT)

    You cannot help but marvel at Fulham's numbers this season.

    The Championship leaders have scored a staggering 84 goals in 34 games, with Aleksandar Mitrovic contributing 34 from 32 appearances.

    And perhaps most impressively of all, having conceded a joint-division-best 29, Fulham's goal difference of 55 is greater than any other team’s total number of goals.

    Swansea City make one change from Saturday’s 3-1 win over Coventry City. Wing-back Cyrus Christie cannot face his parent club, so he’s replaced by midfielder Olivier Ntcham.

    Fulham, meanwhile, stick with the team which beat fellow promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

    Swansea XI: Fisher; Smith, Cabango, Naughton, Manning; Downes, Grimes; Paterson, Piroe, Ntcham; Obafemi.

    Fulham XI: Rodak; Williams, Tosin, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Seri; Wilson, Carvalho, Kebano; Mitrovic.

  4. Wilder makes Bramall Lane return as Fulham close in on titlepublished at 19:37 Greenwich Mean Time 8 March 2022

    Six Championship games

    Runaway league leaders Fulham visit Swansea with their return to the Premier League looking a mere formality now. The Swans find themselves in an unusual position with 13 games to play where it seems highly unlikely they'll be able to trouble the top six and they probably have enough points to have assured survival.

    Bournemouth will go second if they get a point against bottom side Peterborough. The Cherries blew a one-goal lead to lose at Preston on Saturday but are just one point behind surprise package Huddersfield with four games in hand.

    Fourth-placed Blackburn are in decidedly indifferent form and could do without a visit from a Millwall outfit who have won their past five to kickstart a play-off push of their own.

    Chris Wilder returns to Bramall Lane for the first time as Middlesbrough boss in what looks like an absolute cracker. Boro start the game one point and one place above seventh-placed Sheffield United.

    Coventry's push for the top six has faltered of late and they welcome a Luton side who are right in the thick of the push for a play-off place. A win for the Hatters could move them as high as fourth.

    Barnsley's mini-revival was halted by defeat at fellow strugglers Derby on Saturday. However, the Tykes would move within three points of safety with victory over out-of-sorts Stoke tonight.
