Better from the struggling Terriers.

Jack Rudoni leads a charge up field and his shot is turned behind the post by George Long in the home goal for a corner.

Huddersfield started the day six points adrift of safety.

Rochdale beat promotion-chasing Stevenage in their previous home game, but have fallen further behind as Charlie Austin gets a second for Swindon.

Play-off chasing Salford led for just a few minutes as Doncaster level through George Miller.

Preston break the Middlesbrough possession dominance and enjoy a chance of their own.

Alan Browne turns the ball across, Brad Potts gets in but can't keep his header down for the Lilywhites.

An early blow for the Latics who have seen Charlie Hughes limp off after taking a bang on the foot. Omar Rekik had hardly got himself settled on the bench.

Wigan are of course missing forward Ashley Fletcher, on loan from Watford, today.

The hosts are trying to recover from that early setback and Albert Adomah centres only for Lyndon Dykes to blaze over the bar from just outside the penalty area.

It's going by the form book at Home Park where promotion-chasing Plymouth lead bottom side Forest Green.

James Bolton has put the Pilgrims ahead as they look to close Sheffield Wednesday's lead to a single point.

Play-off chasing Derby have a proud home record but are behind against Fleetwood through an own goal from the unfortunate Rams keeper Joe Wildsmith.

Elsewhere Burton have quickly cancelled out Port Vale's opener.

Early chances apiece for these two sides at the Stadium of Light, although nothing too worrying for goalkeepers Anthony Patterson and Ethan Horvath.

Sunderland's Patterson was called into the England Under-21 squad this week, a remarkable rise for the local lad.

Can he follow in former Black Cats keeper Jordan Pickford's steps and make it to the number one jersey for the Three Lions?

Big chance for the hosts as Daniel Bachmann's huge clearance sends Joao Pedro through, he rounds keeper Ben Amos, but can only fire into the side-netting from a narrow angle.

Blackpool 0-0 Coventry

Set-back for Blackpool as defender Jordan Thorniley is forced off injured after a painful collision and is replaced by Kenny Dougall.

On the back of that, the visitors have an effort blocked as Gustavo Hamer went for goal from the set-piece.

Rochdale started the day five points adrift of safety and have started badly.

It's that man Charlie Austin who has put Swindon ahead at Spotland.

But Crawley could be climbing out of the relegation places and Ashley Nadesan has put them ahead at AFC Wimbledon.

Quiet start in terms of chances at the Riverside, but it's almost blanket possession by the home side.

The Teessiders can get the jump on cup-involved Sheffield United with victory here, and despite failing to test the North End goal so far.

Josh Sargent really should have put the Canaries ahead in the opening stages, he's played through by Christos Tzolis but comes under pressure as he gets his shot off and drives wide of Jack Bonham's goal.

Huddersfield are living on their nerves here.

First Andreas Voglsammer smashes over from 12 yards out and then Charlie Cresswell can only fire straight at Town goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik when well placed.

Tahith Chong's ball-carrying ability is really strong.

We saw that under Lee Bowyer before he got a bad injury.

Birmingham signed him permanently and he's obviously got an eye for goal.

Huddersfield have the division's worst away record with just two road wins all season.

Six points adrift of safety they're going to have to go for the victory today.

The play-off chasing home side have started on the front foot though and Tom Lees makes a timely intervention to stop Tom Bradshaw getting in on goa.

Bit of sunshine by the seaside this afternoon and almost an early breakthrough for Blackpool.

The Tangerines won 6-1 against QPR in midweek and have carried on that momentum, with CJ Hamilton rattling the post with an early chance.

Coventry are unbeaten in the last eight games and will no doubt be stirred into life by that early surprise.

Bradford's automatic promotion hopes have taken a dent after a draw with struggling Hartlepool.

Callum Cooke put Pools ahead at the break before Andy Cook levelled.

Dan Kemp restored the visitors' lead, but Cook's second equaliser earned the Bantams a point.

Bradford stay sixth, four points outside the top three, but Hartlepool are just a place and two points above the drop zone.
