    Blackpool 0-0 Birmingham

    Tahith Chong is played through by Birmingham teammate Hannibal Mejbri and he tries to dink the ball over Blackpool keeper Chris Maxwell.

    But his effort bounces off the post.

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 0-1 Lutonpublished at 15:35 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Jordan Clark (33 mins)

    The first goal of the Rob Edwards era at Luton!

    Jordan Clark gives the visitors the lead with a cracking finish after an enterprising run.

    That's his second of the season and it's an absolute beaut.

  3. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 0-1 Wiganpublished at 15:35 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Will Keane (34 mins)

    What was that I was saying about being cagey and short on chances..?

    Will Keane sends Wigan into the lead against Millwall having struck low from a delivery from Callum Lang.

    Lift off for new boss Kolo Toure.

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Huddersfield

    All Sheffield United at the moment.

    As it stands, they need a second goal to go top and Huddersfield will be staying bottom.

    Reading 1-0 Coventry

    Coventry have responded well to going behind and are pushing hard for an equaliser.

    Reading escape after a goalmouth scramble and the Sky Blues continue to push on with about 20 minutes to go.

    Millwall 0-0 Wigan

    A cagey opening half an hour or so at The Den.

    Short on chances of late, with Tom Bradshaw coming closest to giving Millwall the lead, while Wigan keeper Jamie Jones has made a succession of decent saves.

    Swansea 0-1 Norwich

    Swansea have settled down well after conceding in a matter of seconds at the beginning of the game.

    They are getting their foot on the ball the way they like to and just created an opening for Kyle Naughton but his shot is off-target.

    Alex Avis: Really good result against a blunt Peterborough team, Conor Chaplin now got 10 goals for the season, 4 in 3 in all competitions. Good to leapfrog Argyle in the table, applies a little pressure to Argyle and Sheffield Wednesday to get wins today. Up the Tractor Boys!

    It's definitely turning into a season to remember for Ipswich who will end the day top of League One if Plymouth fail to win at Cambridge.

  9. League One latestpublished at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    #bbcefl

    Pretty quiet across the EFL in the past half-hour but Sam Cosgrove has sent a header against the bar for Plymouth at Cambridge, where the deadlock remains intact.

    The Green Army are currently second, of course, after Ipswich's win over Peterborough in the early kick-off.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Reading 1-0 Coventrypublished at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Amadou Mbengue (57 mins)

    We have the opener just short of the hour mark and it's the hosts who lead!

    Tom Ince's corner is headed back into the danger area by Tom McIntyre and finds Amadou Mbengue who flicks the ball past Ben Wilson for his first goal for the club.

    Coventry concede for the first time in five games.

    Billy Sharp's opener for the home side was the 36-year-old's first goal since March.

    As you can tell, he enjoyed it.

    Blackpool 0-0 Birmingham

    Blackpool had dominated for a spell in this first half but Birmingham fight back.

    Marc Roberts picks up the ball from close range but fires over the crossbar.

    Blackpool 0-0 Birmingham

    Luke Garbutt whips in a cross into the Birmingham box as Blackpool press to open the scoring.

    But his ball sails past Gary Madine and Shayne Lavery who are waiting at the far post.

    Soon after, Garbutt strikes into the side netting.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Luton

    Not a huge amount to write home about in this one so far.

    Middlesbrough have just about had the better of things but neither keeper has been forced into a save of note.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 2-1 Cardiffpublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Liam Delap (18 mins)

    Who had this down as a goalfest?

    After falling behind after six minutes Stoke are now in front!

    Tyrese Campbell's shot is heading well wide but it finds its way to on-loan Manchester City man Liam Delap who adjusts his body well to direct the ball into the net.

    Cardiff want the offside flag but it's not coming - Stoke lead!

    Can the Bluebirds respond?

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:19 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Millwall 0-0 Wigan

    Great stuff from Wigan keeper Jamie Jones.

    Tom Bradshaw is played through on goal through Zian Flemming and Bradshaw looks to fire into the bottom corner, but Jones makes a stunning save to deny him.

    Blackpool 0-0 Birmingham

    James Husband puts in a long ball into the path of Gary Madine as Blackpool take the game to Birmingham.

    He then looks to supply Sonny Carey but Birmingham deal with the danger courtesy of Marc Roberts.

    GOAL: Sheffield United 1-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Billy Sharp (15 mins)

    Sheffield United skipper Billy Sharp has his first of the season.

    The veteran striker dinks a great finish home after being played in by Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye, who played against England on Sunday.

    Sharp has now scored a league goal in every season since 2004-05.

    The Blades going top if they win by two goals or more today.

    Cardiff's lead doesn't last long!

    Tariqe Fosu is the creator and sends a pass into the box where the Bluebirds defence stand off Tyrese Campbell, allowing him to take a touch and fire past Ryan Allsop in the Cardiff goal to grab the equaliser.

    What a start here - more of the same please!

    Millwall 0-0 Wigan

    Andreas Voglsammer whips a cross for Millwall into the Wigan box as the hosts keep the pressure on.

    Latics keeper Jamie Jones once again puts in the save, this time to tip the ball away for a corner.
