    Peterborough are looking for consecutive league wins against Blackpool for the first time since November 1984.

    They are on track at this early stage, thanks to great control and composure by Kwame Poku, who tucked the ball home to make it 1-0 to the visitors.

    It's the same scoreline at Charlton as Randell Williams has whipped the ball into the corner for Bolton Wanderers.

    Lincoln are yet another away side to go ahead - Alistair Smith smashing home to break the deadlock at Exeter.

    Sunderland 0-0 Norwich

    Jack Clarke goes oh, so close to opening the scoring for Sunderland!

    The ball is worked to him inside the area, and his shot thumps the outside of the post.

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Stoke

    It's open and entertaining at the Riverside.

    Stoke go close again as Ki-Jana Hoever plays Mehdi Léris through on goal, but his effort is straight at Seny Dieng.

    More goals look likely in this one.

    Cardiff 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City are stretched here at Cardiff.

    Only eight subs, including two goalkeepers and four players who have never played a minute of league football.

    Two others have only come off the bench.

    Barnsley were only behind for four minutes.

    It's now 1-1 at Oakwell - Devante Cole with the quick reply to Junior Quintana's opener for Fleetwood.

    Elsewhere, Bristol Rovers - now without Joey Barton - have made a great start.

    Chris Martin's flicked finish at the near post is the first goal of the day at the Memorial Stadium.

    Pierre Ekwah goes looking for a spectacular opener for Sunderland.

    He thumps an effort from distance, but George Long is equal to it in Norwich's goal.

    A great opportunity for Stockport to extend their lead at the top of the table as Notts County and Wrexham cannot both win today.

    Isaac Olaofe's first-time finish has put them in front at home to Tranmere.

    We mentioned that rock-bottom Sutton had never beaten Bradford, but Josh Coley has just slotted the ball into the corner to put Matt Gray's side ahead.

    QPR 0-0 Leicester

    Cesare Casadei has had two chance in the space 60 seconds for Leicester.

    He first has a shot blocked, and from the resulting corner he wastefully heads off target from about six yards out.

    The Italian under-21 international should have done better there.

    Plymouth's first serious attack comes up trumps.

    Morgan Whittaker from 20 yards out blasts a beautiful curling shot into the top corner.

    What a start from the visitors.

    Here's a surprise!

    Junior Quintana has the first goal of the day in League One to put struggling Fleetwood 1-0 up at Barnsley.

    A terrible start for Shrewsbury. Chey Dunkley has been given a straight red card early on for bringing down Thelo Aasgaard as he broke through the defence at Wigan.

    Sunderland 0-0 Norwich

    Sunderland, who played with real intent against leaders Leicester on Tuesday, again have plenty about them going forward today.

    Jobe Bellingham has a crack, but his shot is well blocked by Shane Duffy.

    Early chance for the Potters as Dwight Gayle finds space behind the Boro defence but fires straight at home keeper Seny Dieng.

    Abdul Fatawu goes looking for an early goal for leaders Leicester.

    He strikes towards the corner, but his effort is deflected for the game's first corner. QPR are able to clear and avert any further danger.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Stoke

    A minute’s applause has been held before kick-off for former Boro defender and dementia campaigner Bill Gates who died this week.

    A one-club man, Gates made more than 330 appearances over 13 years.

    Both sides will wear black armbands as a further tribute.

  19. Are you watching, Taylor Swift?published at 14:57 British Summer Time 28 October 2023

    League Two preview

    A few eyebrows were raised at headlines this week in which Notts County's owners had to deny rumours that pop star Taylor Swift would be buying the club.

    Today, attention turns to Luke Williams' team hosting Wrexham, after their rivalry intensified in a stellar battle for the National League title last season.

    They both won their respective home games during that campaign - the same as when they were last in League Two in 2007-08.

    Ahead of them in the table, leaders Stockport are looking for back-to-back EFL wins against Tranmere for the first time in 40 years.

    Elsewhere, Sutton United are hoping for a first ever win over Bradford to prevent them from being cut adrift at the bottom.

    A day of protest in Reading as 1,000 supporters march from the town centre to the stadium expressing their displeasure at owner Dai Yongge.

    On the pitch it’s four straight defeats so not an ideal backdrop to welcome high-flying league leaders Portsmouth
