Good intent from the visitors and something to encourage the 1,200 visitors from East London.

Theo Archibald cuts inside and his effort is on target but straight at Will Norris.

A trickle of some early goals in League Two.

It's 1-1 between Tranmere and MK Dons as Tranmere's Kieron Morris has cancelled out Alex Gilbey's early goal.

Elliott Nevitt has put Crewe one up against Swindon.

And Abu Eisa has doubled Grimsby's advantage as they lead Notts County 2-0.

The League One game between Reading and Port Vale has been paused for the time being because some supporters have entered the field of play.

We were expecting further protests today by Reading fans about their ongoing off-field problems.

The Racecourse may be a fortress, but the Dons have made a fine start here.

Max Cleworth's interception denied Josh Davison a tap-in at the far post and moments later Aaron Sasu fires a left-footed shot against the top of the crossbar.

Cheltenham are a team transformed from the side that lost 3-0 at home to Bolton in August.

That was part of a run of one point and no goals from the first 11 games. Frankly, they looked doomed.

But it is 10 points from five games, they are making a real fist of trying to survive and they are giving as good as they get in these early stages.

Odin Bailey did everything right but the Walsall keeper was even better.

The leap from Jackson Smith to keep that chance out was excellent.

What a save.

There is only one way Peterborough know and that is to go forward.

They work it down the left and Joel Randall's cross-shot is palmed away by Charlton goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer.

A few early corners for leaders Stockport, but no threat to either goal yet here.

The Hatters will be desperate to put a winning run together after a sticky patch. Defeat today and they could be off top spot today.

Ethan Bristow makes his County debut and Jid Okeke is on the bench for the first time for the injury-hit hosts.

A long throw produces Portsmouth's first genuine chance as it is headed goalwards by Conor Shaughnessy, but it is repelled by Sol Brynn in the visitors' goal.

Cheltenham could have gone in front early on but George Lloyd's effort was deflected behind as he got in past the defence.

No clear-cut openings for the home side as yet.

Abu Kamara just had a good chance early on.

You can tell Portsmouth really want to play high-tempo football at the moment.

Mansfield will be heavy favourites today, but it's Morecambe who threaten first.

Gwion Edwards lashes wide of the near post with a powerful effort from inside the box.

Slew then sends an effort just wide. Great start from the hosts.

Michael Appleton has made five changes to his Charlton team as they roll the dice in search of victory.

The return of top scorer Alfie May is a welcome one, while there is a debut for Tyreeq Bakinson and Conor Coventry is on the bench after his switch from West Ham.

Peterborough have Jed Steer in goal for the first time. It's a first game anywhere for the ex-Aston Villa man since 2 March 2022.

We also have a dedicated live text service following today's Championship action, which you can find here.

In the day's early kick-off, Coventry came from a goal down to beat 10-man Leicester 3-1 in a fiercely-contested local derby.

The Red Dragons are unbeaten in 12 home matches since their opening day defeat by MK Dons and have scored 41 league goals at Stok Racecourse. Yes you read that right, 41.

They may have their work cut out today, though, as League Two’s top home scorers take on the division’s tightest away defence.

AFC Wimbledon have conceded just 10 league goals on the road. Who’ll win out - attack or defence?

There are 23 games being played across League One and League Two today.

Let's get them started!

Well... all except Cambridge v Fleetwood in League One, which has been delayed by 15 minutes because of traffic outside the ground.

Let's have a look at what else is on the agenda in League One today...

Fifth-placed Oxford United have the chance to go level on points with Derby, who play Burton on Monday, with the U’s making the trip to second-from-bottom Carlisle. The Cumbrian side have lost three of their past four league games against Oxford, including both of their past two.

Barnsley have not lost in the league since being beaten by Derby on 11 November. Since then they have won four and drawn four, with two of those draws coming in their past two games. They host a Bristol Rovers side that earned a 1-1 draw at Championship club Norwich in the FA Cup last weekend.

Stevenage could earn successive Football League wins over Shrewsbury Town for the first time, having won the reverse fixture 2-0, while Town are bidding to win their opening two league games of a calendar year for the first time since 2006.

Speaking of Fleetwood, the division's bottom club travel to Cambridge with new boss Charlie Adam taking charge of his third league game. Both of his previous matches in charge after succeeding Lee Johnson ended in defeat.

A reminder of the full League One fixture list, with all games kicking off at 15:00 GMT:

• Barnsley v Bristol Rovers
• Blackpool v Exeter City
• Bolton Wanderers v Cheltenham Town

When Portsmouth were leading Fleetwood at half-time on 23 December, they looked set to open up a nine-point lead at the top of League One.

But Pompey conceded an equaliser that day and have shed eight more points in the subsequent four games.

They still lead the way, but their margin for error has gone with Bolton two points adrift, having played two games fewer.

History tells their supporters a cautionary tale. In 2018-19, Portsmouth were top of League One from late September to mid-January, but missed automatic promotion by three points and then lost in the play-offs.

A home game against mid-table Leyton Orient is a chance to steady the ship for John Mousinho and his men. Another slip-up today and the Pompey ship really will be listing.
