    This is an important game for Bolton if they are to keep pace at the sharp end of the league and they are 1-0 up following an own goal from Carlisle's Jon Mellish's.

    Morgan Whittaker went down in the area against his former club but the crowd's appeals for a penalty were unsuccessful. He might have slipped there.

    Ilias Chair has had a crack as the Hoops seek a quick reply but his effort is straight at Leopold Wahlstedt.

    Cardiff 1-0 Watford

    Optimism has been growing at Cardiff this season, even if it was slightly tempered by a midweek defeat at Middlesbrough and a growing injury list which now includes Aaron Ramsey, Callum O’Dowda, Yakou Meite and Kion Etete.

    Even without that attacking talent, Cardiff have posed the greater threat against Watford and deservedly lead.

    Victory today would give Erol Bulut's side a fifth win from six, while Watford are looking to avoid a fourth successive defeat.

    Oh dear QPR. Rovers strike first as Tyrhys Dolan side-foots home a pull-back from the byline from Joe Rankin-Costello.

    It's been a year since the Hoops have scored twice in a home game. They'll need to do that if they are to get their first home win of the campaign today.
