    Norwich 1-0 Leeds

    This is former Norwich boss Daniel Farke's first return to Carrow Road as an opposition manager and he wont want to go away empty-handed today.

    His side are on top here now as first Glen Kamara and then Joe Piroe see shots go just wide.

    West Brom 0-0 Plymouth

    The visitors continue to go on the attack at West Brom and Ryan Hardie goes close, with Alex Palmer having to make the save.

    Will Plymouth regret not scoring from this good spell?

    Owen Coe: Starting to worry about this game as a Cov fan. Twice we’ve hit the bar, surely our luck has to change?

  4. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-0 Leicesterpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Matt Grimes (20 mins)

    Hello!

    Swansea have been positive from the start and they get their reward.

    A corner is cleared to the edge of the box where captain Matt Grimes returns it with interest.

    It takes a deflection off Foxes midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and the Swans lead!

    Leaders Leicester have won 10 of their 11 Championship games this season but they'll have to come from behind today.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Hull 0-1 Southamptonpublished at 15:23 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Will Smallbone (20 mins)

    Southampton full back Kyle Walker-Peters does the leg work and sneaks past his defender and feeds Will Smallbone who scores.

    That's his first away goal for Saints.

    Norwich 1-0 Leeds

    Helter-skelter start at Carrow Road after Shane Duffy's early goal gave the home side the lead.

    He's since been booked and Leeds forward Crysencio Summerville has just joined him.

    Klaidi Lolos had put Crawley 1-0 up against Crewe, who are fourth but have struggled on their travels, but Shilow Tracey has levelled for the Railwaymen on 20 minutes.

    Elsewhere Remeao Hutton has also levelled for Swindon at Salford.

    Liam Dale: Disappointing there’s been no mention of Doncaster Rovers yet. A win last night to make it five wins from seven and things starting to move in the right direction.

    You've just done the job for us Liam! Doncaster's 2-1 win at Tranmere took them up to 17th in League Two and they're now closer to the play-offs than the relegation zone.

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    West Brom 0-0 Plymouth

    So close to the opener at The Hawthorns and for Plymouth!

    Morgan Whittaker cuts inside but his effort comes back off the post.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Bristol City 0-0 Coventry

    Another fluid move from Coventry in attack and they clatter the bar again.

    This time it's Matt Godden whose curling effort from 20-yards-out shakes the woodwork.

    The Sky Blues look dangerous.

  11. goal

    GOAL: Huddersfield 2-0 QPRpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Jack Rudoni (14 mins)

    Oh dear, oh dear. From bad to worse for QPR.

    Jack Rudoni adds a goal to his earlier assist with a low finish from Sorba Thomas' pass.

    The R's defending is... generous at best.

  12. Postpublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham

    Nearly the first goal of Wayne Rooney's time at Birmingham as Krystian Bielik's effort is kept out by Seny Dieng in the Boro goal.

    Bielik played for Rooney at Derby as well.

    Dion Charles has put Bolton 1-0 up at home to Northampton.

    Martial Godo has given Wigan the lead against Exeter in the battle of two sides who have lost four straight. Something has to give at SJP.

  14. Postpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Norwich 1-0 Leeds

    Leeds have responded well from falling behind early on to Shane Duffy's goal.

    Giorginio Rutter draws a decent save from Angus Gunn in the home goal as they look for a quick reply.

    Louis Barry has converted from the spot to put leaders Stockport 1-0 up against Grimsby. The Hatters are seeking an EIGHTH straight league win.

    And Isaac Olaofe has boosted their hopes with a second within moments. 2-0 to County after just eight minutes. A juggernaut of momentum.

    Salford are 1-0 up through Ethan Ingram at home to Swindon who have won on all three visits to Salford previously.

    GOAL: Stoke 1-1 Sunderlandpublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Jack Clarke (10 mins)

    What a response from Sunderland!

    Stoke give the ball away and the Black Cats make them pay.

    Jack Clarke slots it past keeper Mark Travers who probably should have done better.

    Poor defending from the Potters.

    GOAL: Huddersfield 1-0 QPRpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Kian Harratt (8 mins)

    Not the start lowly QPR needed...

    Young striker Kian Harratt brings Jack Rudoni's cross under his control and finishes well.

    The R's were beaten 4-0 at home by Blackburn last time out.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Sunderlandpublished at 15:10 British Summer Time 21 October 2023

    Ryan Mmaee (7 mins)

    Stoke go ahead early.

    Ryan Mmaee chests the ball down, turns his body and fires into the corner of the net past the Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson.

    That's the Moroccan striker's first goal of the season.

    Cheltenham goals are like London buses... after breaking their duck a couple of weeks ago, Liam Sercombe has given the winless hosts the lead at home to Cambridge United just five minutes in.

    13 matches without a win for Town, the longest run in the EFL. Could today be the day?

    Elsewhere Lincoln are ahead at Fleetwood through Alex Mitchell - they've never won at Highbury. Could today be the day... er, again?

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham

    Wayne Rooney has made two alterations in his first Birmingham team.

    Scott Hogan is back up front and there is a first start since February for Gary Gardner, who scored in the win over West Brom in John Eustace's last game.

    They'll be keen to impress the new boss!
