    This is what is happening in the Championship's 19:45 BST kick-offs this evening.

    Second-placed Norwich City are looking for a sixth win in a row, as they host Bristol City, who are in the top six after four wins from eight.

    Two of last year's play-off hopefuls, in Luton Town and Coventry City meet with both sides in the bottom six so far this campaign.

    Millwall welcome Queens Park Rangers south of the river for a London derby, while Yorkshire's Rotherham United welcome Lancashire's Blackpool.

    Two games start later in the second tier this evening.

    Sunderland make the long journey down to Reading at 20:00 BST, while it is a West Midlands derby for West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City - with a delayed start from 20:15 BST.

    That's because of congestion and to aid spectator safety around The Hawthorns.

    Clubs paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II last night with minute's silences, armbands worn and in some cases a rendition of the national anthem was performed with accompaniment by the crowd.

    Mansfield released 96 doves, one for each year of the monarch's life, as well as following the EFL's recommended tributes.

    The guidelines from the league will apply this evening, at the six stadiums hosting games in the Championship.

    After the rest of the English Football League returned to play last night, the 12 remaining Championship clubs to feature in this ninth round of games will be in action this evening.

    It is a first opportunity for players, fans, staff, referees and everyone associated with the clubs to pay their respects publicly following the death of Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday, at the age of 96.
