A very early yellow card for Stoke's Ben Pearson after a trip on Brad Potts... less than a minute on the clock.

Stoke's record against North End is not the best and Preston have won three straight games... this might not help.

Watford have not scored since the 43rd minute of their opening day win over QPR, more than three and a half league games and counting now...

After making four changes from the 1-0 defeat to Blackburn last Sunday the Hornets are immediately on the attack and City keeper Ben Wilson has to claim a cross in the opening seconds.

We are under way with the 3pm kick-offs.

Settle in and keep it here.

We've got you covered across the EFL.

Gillingham, who fell to their first loss of the season last weekend after winning all four of their previous games, make the trip to Grimsby.

Fourth-placed Notts County welcome third-placed Accrington Stanley, with both sides looking to make it three wins in a row. Accrington are unbeaten in their last five League Two visits to Meadow Lane.

AFC Wimbledon switch their attention back to league action after their midweek trip to Stamford Bridge in the EFL Cup. They face a Newport side looking to build on last weekend's 3-1 win over Sutton United.

Mansfield, who are yet to taste defeat, welcome Mark Hughes' Bradford City. Mansfield, however, have won just one of their last six league meetings with the Bantams.

Swindon, who hit Crawley for six last weekend, travel to bottom club Doncaster who are the only club in the league to win a game.

Colchester, who picked up their first win of the season with an impressive 3-0 win over Gillingham last Saturday, play a Walsall side who have drawn their last two games.

Top of the table Oxford United will be looking to make it five wins in a row today when they welcome Port Vale.

Exeter travel to winless Burton while Bolton face a Derby side who beat Peterborough 4-2 last weekend.

Speaking of Peterborough, they make the trip to Portsmouth - with Pompey being the only side in the league to taste defeat yet.

Lincoln will be looking to continue their good form when they take on Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers.

No wins in the last two outings for Stevenage, who face a Leyton Orient side hoping to build on their 3-0 win over Blackpool.

Three of Barnsley’s past four away league matches have ended in a draw. They make the journey to Cheltenham.

Coventry, who have drawn their last two games, welcome a Watford side who have lost their last two games. The Sky Blues are unbeaten in their past four home league games against Watford.

Ipswich lost for the first time this season last weekend in a 4-3 thriller against Leeds, after their previously perfect start to the campaign. They'll be looking to get back to winning ways when they host a Cardiff side who in turn picked up their first three points of the season last Saturday against Sheffield Wednesday.

QPR make the trip to winless Middlesbrough. QPR have won three of their past four league visits to Boro, although they lost 3-1 at the Riverside last season.

Blackburn make the long trip down south to take on a Plymouth side looking to avoid a hat-trick of league defeats. Rovers have started steady, picking up seven points from their first four games. Here's one for you, Blackburn are looking for their first league win at Plymouth since the final game of their 1991-92 second-tier campaign under Kenny Dalglish, when the Pilgrims were managed by Peter Shilton.

Preston have started the season very well, winning their past three games. They travel to Stoke, who lost to Millwall in their last outing. Alex Neil's Potters side have so far won two and lost two.

Huddersfield are another side with a winless start to their campaign. The Terriers, who have lost three and drawn one, face a West Brom side on the back of a 4-2 win against Middlesbrough. The Baggies are looking for consecutive league wins over Huddersfield for the first time since 1998.

Rotherham, who are still looking for their first win of the season, welcome unbeaten Norwich this afternoon.

Not a fixture Millers fans would have chosen today, you'd imagine, particularly losing their last two games.

It really is a story of two ends if we delve into this one...

Rotherham have won one of their past 17 league games against Norwich, with the Canaries winning their last three league visits to the New York Stadium.

Norwich are the top scorers in the Championship this season with 13 goals - the most goals they’ve ever scored in their opening five league matches in a campaign is 16.

There can be few bosses in world football as happy to see the transfer window close as Leeds gaffer Daniel Farke.

It's been a hectic summer off the field at Elland Road and, despite the late night loss of star winger Luis Sinisterra to Bournemouth yesterday, the German will be pretty happy with what he has got to work with until January.

New signings Djed Spence, Jaidon Antony and Glen Kamara are all on the bench for the home side.

Visiting Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wedneday are almost certainly not feeling quite as buoyant.

They're the only team in the whole of the EFL yet to pick up a point so far this campaign.

New boss Xisco Munoz knows that will have to change sooner rather than later if he's to stick around at Hillsborough, but this looks like a tough ask today.

August is out, September is in and only two teams in the top four divisions have won all their league games so far.

Manchester City are three from three in the Premier League and Leicester City have won all four in the Championship.

Former City coach Enzo Maresca has made a dream start to life on Filbert Way and will look to continue that today.

The Foxes give a full debut to on-loan Galatasaray forward Yunus Akgun.

Visitors Hull have also made a decent start to the new campaign, with seven points from their first four.

They include Aaron Connolly in place of Ozan Tufan, who has a knock.

That's the early games done to whet your appetite.

Now let's look ahead to the 15:00 games across the EFL.

Birmingham's unbeaten league start to the season continues.

Kevin Nisbet gave the away side an early lead in this one and Scott Hogan saw his penalty saved by Lions keeper Matija Sarkic right on half time.

However, Jay Stansfield deservedly levelled for the home side after the break and both chances had opportunities to take the points.

Wrexham stretch their unbeaten League Two run to five and move up to eighth thanks to Aaron Hayden's goal.

Southampton have been blown away.

If this is a sign of things to come for Sunderland, it's going to be an exciting season again.

Incredible, dominant, performance from Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

They have absolutely crushed Southampton who had no idea how to defend them.

The Black Cats get their second win of the season and shoot up to 8th in the Championship table.

Southampton are handed their first loss of the season and leave with their tails between their legs.

Swansea's wait for a first league win of the season goes on.

They led 1-0 at the break in this through Liam Cullen's strike but goals from Mark Sykes and Sam Bell mean the points will be crossing back over the bridge with Bristol City.

Sunderland could easily have taken their foot of the accelerator this second half.

But they have continued to press Southampton this whole time.

This will be a massive wake-up call for the Saints boss Russell Martin.

A minute or so left.
