    GOAL; Sunderland 1-0 Watfordpublished at 20:31 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Niall Huggins (43 mins)

    What a goal!

    The home side break the deadlock in style with a wonderful finish from Niall Huggins.

    He finds himself in the opposition penalty area and crashes home a thumping finish that goes in off the bar.

    Leicester 0-0 Preston

    Massive chance for Preston goes begging.

    Ali McCann plays Duane Holmes through one-on-one with Foxes keeper Mads Hermansen.

    But Holmes fires wide.

    A let-off for Leicester, who have bossed possession but are yet to have an effort on target.

    Swansea 1-1 Norwich

    Swansea almost regain the lead with an outrageous effort from top scorer Jerry Yates.

    The striker sees his backheeled effort from a Matt Grimes cross go wide.

  4. QPR offered nothingpublished at 20:22 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Leeds 1-0 QPR

    Ross McCormack
    Former Leeds United forward on BBC Radio Leeds

    There's been no threat whatsoever from QPR.

    The only thing the Leeds manager will be disappointed in is that it's only 1-0.

    They've had chances to add to the score and they could have been cruising.

  5. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:20 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Coventry 0-0 Blackburn

    Now Rovers hit the bar!

    It's a fierce long-range effort from James Hill, who is making his first league start for the visitors.

    Coventry keeper Ben Wilson gets fingertips on it and it rattles the crossbar before the Sky Blues defence scramble clear.

    Sunderland 0-0 Watford

    First real chance of the evening goes the way of the home side.

    Jobe Bellingham, whose brother Jude continued his superb start to life at Real Madrid with a goal at Napoli yesterday, forces Daniel Bachmann into a smart save in the Watford goal.

  7. Postpublished at 20:18 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Coventry 0-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn's top scorer Sammie Szmodics has his first proper sight of goal of the game after being played in by Callum Brittain.

    Coventry keeper Ben Wilson gets down to his left and is equal to the forward's powerful strike.

    Breaking

    Some breaking news to bring you from further down the EFL ladder.

    Bradford City have sacked boss Mark Hughes after their 2-1 defeat at Tranmere on Tuesday left them down in 18th in League Two.

    Coventry 0-0 Blackburn

    Coventry have been forced into a change midway through the half, with Yasin Ayari coming on for the injured Liam Kelly.

    The on-loan Swede is straight into the thick of the action, miscuing a half-volley well over the Rovers bar.

    Leeds 1-0 QPR

    Great chance for Leeds to make it 2-0 but Crysencio Summerville sees his close range shot blocked.

    Pascal Struijk heads over from the following corner.

    QPR holding on but only just.

  11. Postpublished at 20:13 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Swansea 1-1 Norwich

    Almost a complete turnaround for the visitors.

    Norwich right-back Jack Stacey gets forward and Swans keeper Carl Rushworth is forced to dive to his right tip his effort behind for a corner.

    That one was heading across goal and towards the top left-hand corner.

    Rotherham 0-0 Bristol City

    Bright start from the home side in this 20:00 BST kick off.

    They win a couple of early set pieces but can't force an effort on Max O'Leary's goal.

    GOAL: Swansea 1-1 Norwichpublished at 20:09 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Gabriel Sara (22 mins)

    Norwich respond to level things up in south Wales.

    Jonathan Rowe runs at the Swansea defence and the ball is spread wide to the left hand side of the box.

    The cross in from Dimitris Giannoulis is deflected but midfielder Gabriel Sara is there just outside the six-yard box to stoop and head into the roof of the Swans net.

    Leicester 0-0 Preston

    The hosts remain on top but are yet to test visiting keeper Freddie Woodman.

    Centre-back Liam Lindsay is on hand to block a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall effort inside the Preston box.

    Sunderland 0-0 Watford

    Not much doing in this one so far.

    Just the one shot and that was not on target.

    There's another big game in the north east tonight which you can follow here should you wish...

  16. Gray benefitting from family influencepublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Leeds 1-0 QPR

    Ross McCormack
    Former Leeds United forward on BBC Radio Leeds

    Archie Gray is so composed and I think that comes from coming through a footballing family. He doesn't seem to be fazed by anything.

    The fans want him to do well here of course.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:02 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Rotherham 0-0 Bristol City

    We're under way in our final match.

    Can the Millers get just their second win of the season to cut South Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday further adrift at the foot of the table?

  18. More goals on the way?published at 20:02 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Swansea 1-0 Norwich

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    Michael Duff had a difficult start to life as Swansea City's head coach, with no wins coming in his first seven league games at the helm.

    But having broken their duck against Sheffield Wednesday and then followed that with a weekend win at Millwall, Swansea have begun this one in confident mood.

    Norwich City are trying to play out from the back - and were caught out by Swansea's high press in the lead-up to Jamal Lowe's early goal.

    You sense it might not be the last goal of the night, given Norwich's attacking prowess and Swansea's early threat.

  19. Postpublished at 20:00 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Leeds 1-0 QPR

    Very good chance for Leeds to double their money early on.

    A corner is played into the middle and Joe Rodon has the run on his marker and heads the ball down but, crucially for the R's, wide at the back post.

  20. Postpublished at 19:59 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Leicester 0-0 Preston

    The Foxes have dominated proceedings early on.

    Abdul Fatawu has fired wide on the half-volley from a tight angle after Wout Faes headed down a cross to the Ghana international.

    But Preston respond with a chance from a free-kick as Jack Whatmough heads Robbie Brady's delivery wide.

    Set pieces might be crucial if the Lilywhites are to head home with at least a point.
