    GOAL: Ipswich 1-0 Prestonpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 7 October 2023

    Conor Chaplin (18 mins)

    Ipswich defender Leif Davis whips a cross into the Preston box.

    It lands for Conor Chaplin on the penalty spot who hits the ball first time and into the back of the net.

    Preston switched off, poor defending, everyone was looking for the aerial ball and they got caught out.

    Leicester 0-0 Stoke

    The hosts have enjoyed 89% of the possession in the opening 18 minutes or so. It feels like a pattern which will probably play out across the entire season at the King Power.

    That said Potters keeper Mark Travers is yet to be tested by the hosts, for all their dominance.

    Sheff Wed 0-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield are on top now against the managerless strugglers.

    How much must former Owls boss Darren Moore want to get his first win as Terriers gaffer today...

  4. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 7 October 2023

    Southampton 1-0 Rotherham

    Southampton are denied.

    Adam Armstrong backheels the ball into the back of the net but the linesman's flag is up for offside.

    Correct decision.

    Clever build-up play from Southampton though who are looking frisky.

    The deadlock has been broken in League Two.

    Leaders Notts County are in front at Barrow through a David McGoldrick penalty after Macaulay Langstaff was brought down.

    Omari Patrick powered a free-kick into the bottom corner to put Sutton ahead at home to Walsall a moment ago, and now Harry Smith has smashed into the net to make it 2-0.

    Swansea have won three straight league games and you can already see why.

    Inches away!

    Norwich defender Sam McCallum flashes the ball across Coventry's six-yard-box but Adam Idah is just a second off the pace and can't connect.

    Good play from the visitors.

    The home supporters here at Loftus Road are desperate for a win and you can hear the nervousness when Blackburn are on the ball or a QPR attack breaks down.

    All Leicester so far, Stoke have barely ventured over half-way.
