Bright start for Wednesday, who are on the front foot and Barry Bannan plays a one-two with Bailey Cadamarteri but spears his finish a long way wide of the target.

One interested onlooker (from the 'other' side of Sheffield, so to speak) is ex-Blades striker Billy Sharp, watching his new Hull City team-mates in action.

It's that loud in here that I can't hear myself think.

Here we go then - a huge opportunity for both Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City to close in their respective targets.

Wednesday will be buoyed by defeats for QPR and Huddersfield, the two sides directly above them in the table, which means a win would take them to within three points of safety.

Hull, who get us under way, are also seeking three points to reclaim the top six spot that Sunderland dislodged them from earlier this afternoon.

This relentless New Year's Day continues now as we head to Hillsborough for lowly Sheffield Wednesday against play-off hopefuls Hull.

The Tigers will move back into the top six with victory while a win for the Owls will take them to within three points of 21st-placed Huddersfield.

It's a massive result, it keeps the run going for Mansfield.

A great way to start the new year.

• League leaders Stockport hadn't lost since the opening day of the season but the opening day of this year saw a Mansfield penalty, then an injury time second earn them three points at Edgeley Park. Mansfield are just two points behind now with two games in hand for Mansfield.
• Tranmere won a six-goal thriller v Notts County 4-2.
• A Steven Fletcher hat-trick against the second-best defence in the league saw Barrow lose 4-1 at Wrexham.
• Walsall thump Grimsby 6-1 away from home
• Crawley beat Swindon 3-1 and Doncaster 3-0 MK Dons.

2-0 Mansfield at league leaders Stockport who have not lost at home since the opening day of this season.

In the 12th minute of injury time the Stags have clinched a massive win.

Don't forget, we've still got Sheffield Wednesday against Hull to round off today's action.

That one gets under way in five minutes!

• The shock of the day saw bottom side Carlisle leap off the foot of the table with a 2-1 victory against Port Vale - their first win since October.
• Leaders Portsmouth beat Stevenage 2-1 at Fratton Park which saw the visitors drop out of the play-off places.
• Second-placed Bolton Wanderers took longer than they usually do to break the deadlock at home to Burton, an own goal gave them all three points.
• Josh Scowen's fifth red card of his career made it nervy for Wycombe but they did beat Bristol Rovers 3-2.
• Shrewsbury ruined Charlie Adam's debut match in management by beating Fleetwood 3-1.
• Derby lost 3-2 to Peterborough with Ricky Jade-Jones scoring a 94th-minute winner.

• Oxford United grab a late winner at Charlton.

A packed Elland Road, there is no better place to get a good 3-0 win.

Hopefully, this is the start of a run of winning games for Leeds.

We are going to have THIRTEEN minutes added on here at Edgeley Park.

Two draws in a row and now this fairly impotent display from Stockport County would point to a relatively small squad being stretched to their limits at the top oh League Two.

But they’ve still got time to get an equaliser against the side in second. Nobody has left early and the towering Cheadle End is full of home fans demanding a response.

And breathe...

What a match. We said Home Park was the place to go in the Championship and this did not disappoint.

49 shots, 16 on target and six goals. That is the kind of match we all dream of watching!

Another easy afternoon for the Championship leaders.

Four goals and three points to bring up win number 21. The gap to second is now 10 points and 13 to Southampton in third.

It's hard to imagine Leicester not playing Premier League football again in August.

Ben Hamer with a flying save to tip over Morgan Whittaker's shot from 18 yards.

What a game we've had!

Ipswich begin 2024 how they ended 2023 - with a 0-0 draw, but they remain three points clear of third-placed Southampton.

Stoke are now unbeaten in Steven Schumacher's four games in charge.

QPR start the new year in similar fashion to the way much of 2023 panned out for them, with a home defeat.

Substitute Sinclair Armstrong almost salvaged a point late on with a header that Jak Alnwick clawed over, but Rangers remain four points adrift of safety while Cardiff reignite their push for the play-offs.

Peterborough have surely won it in the 94th minute at Derby! Ricky-Jade Jones has put Posh 3-2 up against their fellow promotion hopefuls.

Bristol Rovers and Chris Martin have another (consolation?) at Wycombe- have they left it too late in their attempt to make it 3-3? 3-2 to Wycombe now.

Southampton's unbeaten run is now up to 18 games, but they may consider that two points dropped after Josh Sargent equalised Adam Armstrong's opener.

The Saints gave up leads on the road at Huddersfield and Watford to draw, so imagine where they would be with those six extra points.

Wayne Rooney's ninth defeat as Birmingham boss on a run of two wins in 15 games comes as they are hammered by Leeds United at Elland Road.

Goals from Patrick Bamford, Dan James and Crysencio Summerville are enough to end Leeds' two-game losing run.

Leeds now nine points off the top two in fourth. Blues down in 20th.

Southampton push for a winner and Adam Armstrong thinks he has grabbed a second but Angus Gunn pulls off the save.
