League Two Game of the Day - Bradford City vs Crawley Town

A bumper crowd at Valley Parade will make the perfect recipe on this Halloween weekend.

Over 17,000 tickets sold for this League Two fixture between Bradford City and Crawley Town.The Welsh wizard that is Mark Hughes is expecting a tough encounter against Crawley this afternoon.

The visitors Crawley are now unbeaten in four after a change in manager and what a difference a month has made. They go into today off the back of a draw in mid-week. Prior to that there was a couple of impressive wins in the league and they will be hoping their form continues.

The last time these two sides met was back in January when Crawley came away from the Bantams back yard with all three points. Will history repeat itself in todays fixture.

Hughes will be hoping that a sprinkle of Andy Cook up front and some magic from Alex Gilliead out wide will do just the trick.

The home side will be hoping to make it a cauldron this afternoon. But which one of these teams will be leaving with those all important sweet three points.

League One Game of the Day - Charlton Athletic vs Ipswich Town

The good times are certainly back at Portman Road. Their win against Derby at Portman Road had over 28,000 people present and they’ve certainly captured the imagination of the town.

Kieran McKenna’s side sit second in the table and having ground out a result against County last week, they managed to show some steel at Port Vale to win 3-2, having thrown away a two-goal lead. The return to the goals of Freddie Ladapo will be key for them. He got a double in that win; his first in five appearances. He’s on six in all competitions.

Charlton are looking to put midweek disappointment behind them in losing 2-0 to MK Dons. Before that they had won three of their last four. Manager, Ben Garner, looks like he’s made his mark on this side.

Twenty years ago this was a Premier League fixture but with booth teams on the up, the focus is certainly on the present day at The Valley.

• Barnsley v Forest Green Rovers
• Bolton Wanderers v Oxford United
• Charlton Athletic v Ipswich Town
• Cheltenham Town v Milton Keynes Dons
• Derby County v Bristol Rovers
• Fleetwood Town v Accrington Stanley
• Peterborough United v Cambridge United

Championship Game of the day – Burnley vs Reading

High-flying Burnley will be entering this match full of confidence after a midweek win against Norwich City moved the Clarets to the top of the Championship table.

Make no mistake: Vincent Kompany’s team has become the league’s most in-form side in recent weeks, having won four of their last five games, and a swift return to the Premier League looks likely.

However, the Burnley boss is without several key players this weekend. Midfield general, Jack Cork, is suspended after picking up his fifth league yellow card of the season against Norwich; Ashley Westwood is still out with an ankle injury, and a big question mark hangs over whether ‘leader’ Josh Cullen will be fit for Reading’s visit.

The Royals themselves have been the surprise package in the Championship so far this season. Under Paul Ince, they currently sit eighth in the league, just one point off a play-off place – despite operating under a transfer embargo – with a game in hand. Is it time to take Reading seriously as a promotion prospect?

I’m expecting a tight contest between the two sides and I’m also looking forward to seeing Vincent Kompany and Paul Ince – who, of course, represented Manchester City and Manchester United respectively, albeit at different times – meet in the dug-out!

Elsewhere, Gillingham take on Doncaster; Sutton face Stockport.

With league leaders Plymouth not in action until Monday, when they take on Exeter in Gary Caldwell's first game in charge of the Grecians, there could be a new leader in League One come this evening.

Second-placed Ipswich can move to the top of the tree when they take on eighth-placed Charlton.

Third-placed Sheffield Wednesday can reduce the gap on the top two when they take on struggling Burton while Peterborough welcome Cambridge in the first derby league meeting between the pair since 2001.

Millwall begin the day in the final play-off spot and they will hope to shore up their place in the top six at bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield.

Norwich are now outside the play-offs after no win in six and today hope to snap that run at home to Stoke who have lost their last two.

Luton could climb into the play-off if they can beat Sunderland at Kenilworth Road. The Black Cats also having gone down twice in a row.

The Hatters were thumped by rivals Watford last Sunday and Slaven Bilić's side will hope to build on that at home to Wigan, who have lost three successive matches.

Cardiff have also shipped three straight games and take on Rotherham in CF11.

And Middlesbrough will try to move clear of the bottom three at Preston.

Third placed Blackburn can also profit from QPR's defeat at Birmingham.

No-one has won more games in the division than their 10 this season and today they aim for a fourth-straight victory.

Hull return to the MKM Stadium after back-to-back wins on the road and have won four and lost four of their home matches so far.

That obviously means they haven't drawn a home game yet, while Blackburn haven't drawn away.
