Getting a few chances going now.

Jamal Lowe pokes a cross by Josh Key toward goal but it's a confident claim from Dai Cornell to deny Swansea in the Preston nets.

Exeter concede again. They have conceded 27 goals in 12 League One games before this evening.

The opener in this match comes from the spot after Alex Hartridge was penalised for handball.

Gassan Ahadme strikes the ball low to the right of Viljami Sinisalo's despairing dive to make it six goals in seven games and nine for the season.

I think it will suit Robbie Brady playing the position he is tonight, he is being told to just support play.

On his left foot, [his chance] was always bending away from goal.

Preston get a sighter away through Robbie Brady, whose bending strike veers just over the top.

Jordan Storey, who was involved in the build-up, is making his 150th league appearance for North End by the way.

Having had a string of chances at the Hull end, Bristol City need defender Zak Vyner at his timely best to halt an away attack.

Republic of Ireland forward Aaron Connolly fancied he might be in, but for the intervention of Vyner.

Just a little reminder that Hull aren't sixth for nowt.

Bristol City have played their way into the game now, they are playing some enterprising football.

Doncaster took an early lead at home to Bradford - Joe Ironside their top-scorer this season again with the goal.

And AFC Wimbledon lead at Crawley thanks to Josh Davison.

Jamal Lowe is first to register an effort worthy of the word down in South Wales, as the Swansea striker cracks one from distance.

It has Dai Cornell - one of six Preston changes - alert, but it bounces just wide.

Decent strike from the former Wigan forward.

Hull enjoyed all the early possession and action around the Bristol City box, but it's the Robins who have just had the first real chances on goal.

Jason Knight saw a shot saved fairly comfortably by Ryan Allsop before sending a header over the bar a couple of minutes later.

The home fans have warmed up now and are in full singing flow.

We have a chance.

Bristol City create it, as Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Anis Mehmeti release Cameron Pring into space to cross.

Jason Knight picks it up and gets an effort away which is denied by the visitors.

Mark Stallard
Former Notts County striker on BBC Radio Nottingham

It was a training ground routine and that may frustrate Luke Williams.

Notts had a decent start so they can't let it disrupt them.

Jean Michael Seri sets himself up for a nervous night, getting stuck into Bristol City's Jason Knight and earning himself an early booking.

The Hull City midfielder's combative style might just have to come down a notch.

This is a game between two sides who could really do with a pre-Christmas win.

Swansea have managed just two league victories on their own patch this season, a miserable return in what has been an underwhelming campaign to date.

Preston, meanwhile, are reeling after last weekend's thrashing by Watford, with boss Ryan Lowe making six changes in response.

It has looked like a battle of two clubs who have not won much of late in the opening exchanges, with both sides feeling their way into the contest.

Both sides unchanged for this one.

Tentative start.... so far.

Just after the other five League Two games kicked off, Troy Deeney's first match in charge of Forest Green Rovers reached it's half-way point.

Nothing to split the two sides thus far, the home side have had more shots and corners, but the away side the more possession.

Read into that what you will regarding Deeney's managerial style.

Class touch from Cambridge pre-match at the Abbey congratulating Exeter City's Supporters' Trust on 20 years of ownership of the club.

They have just kicked off in the solitary League One match this evening.

Off we go then in the 19:45 GMT kick-offs.

We'll be coming into stoppage time shortly in the 19:00 GMT kick-off between Forest Green and Gillingham, and will let you know what the latest is there at the break.

Given it's the festive period, and I've all the energy of a supermarket check-out operator with an hour to go on their Christmas Eve shift, let's have an easy theme.

Good evening from Edgeley Park where I've been Whamaggedoned TWICE before any supporters had even arrived!

Stockport's 8-0 demolition of Sutton United will certainly have their fans reminiscing about last Christmas, this time next year.

Their biggest win in 89 years saw a hat-trick for Paddy Madden, back in the goals after a lean spell and saw Kyle Wootton grabbing one too. He has nine in 12 for the Hatters and there may be something louder than a careless whisper from the away support on Wootton, he was their man before he was given the freedom to leave Nottingham for Stockport in June last year.

Notts County are on a bit of a difficult run at the moment. They've had injuries to key players but their veteran attacker David McGoldrick is back training and could provide a calming influence for a side low on confidence.

Their 3-1 defeat at Harrogate made it three defeats in a row in all competitions and their defence in particular has been guilty of giving away sloppy goals.

Whether Luke Williams keeps faith with his XI or rings the changes, Dave Challinor's side have been amazing this season and either way they'll take some stopping.

It's a sell-out at Edgeley Park - no chance of anyone falling asleep before we go-go.
