Wrexham's Will Boyle has been sent off for a sliding challenge on Shane McLoughlin, much to the delight of a sold-out Rodney Parade.

Now Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson is booked for something he said to referee Simon Mather. Cue more raucous cheering.

Newport have had the better of a highly-charged start to the game but it's still 0-0 after 20 minutes.

Christopher Long's first touch was nice, then he played a decent square ball and there was Elliott Nevitt.

He has scored some stunning goals for Crewe, but he won't get many easier than that one.

Bristol Rovers have had a terrible start in front of their home fans having also gone out of the FA Cup in midweek.

Blackpool bouncing back from their long midweek FA Cup loss emphatically, they're already two to the good at 'The Mem', Karamoko Dembele with their second.

Thelo Aasgaard might feel he should have put Wigan in front - he heads straight at Reading goalkeeper David Button from close range and it remains goalless at the DW.

It wouldn't be a derby without a few hefty challenges, would it?

Will Boyle goes through Shane McLoughlin and the referee decides that's too much and the Wrexham man is off.

Feisty start, this. Let's hope emotions don't Boyle over too much this afternoon.

A big opportunity for Newport, though..

Almost 20 minutes into our 12 games across League One and League Two - just the three goals to report so far.

Hopefully it livens up a bit soon!

David Worrall just put the ball into an area and it was a great finish by Robbie Gotts.

Crewe are just knocking the ball around the back and it suits Barrow.

Fleetwood have not had the best start, Portsmouth are getting the ball up to the big man up top. Fleetwood are sitting very deep at the moment.

They have to get a foothold into the game.

A fairly quiet start at the DW Stadium, where Wigan and Reading are yet to seriously test the opposing goalkeeper.

Plenty going on off the field at Reading but their form on the pitch recently has actually not been that bad - Ruben Selles' side are unbeaten in their past six in League One.

Posh create the first meaningful chance of their game with Shrewsbury, but Ricky-Jade Jones is denied by visiting goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne.

Gillingham have the worst attacking record in League Two, but top scorer Macauley Bonne has had an early sight at goal, nudging a header just wide of Luke Daniels' post.

Fleetwood's most recent home fixture was a couple of weeks ago against promotion-chasing Derby and Charlie Adam's side far from disgraced themselves, threatening an equaliser late on before eventually succumbing by a 3-1 scoreline.

Goalless in the early stages at Highbury.

A new temporary stand at Rodney Parade for today's game, with an extra 1,000 seats available to watch this Welsh derby.

Lots of noise as you can expect. Perhaps County will keep that stand up for the visit of Erik ten Hag's Manchester United in a couple of weeks.

MK Dons have won eight of their last 11 in the league, they took the lead after just two minutes in this one, Max Dean's first goal in five games.

Joe Tomlinson fired the ball into the box which Morecambe failed to clear - Max Dean pounced on the opportunity and curled it around Archie Mair.

The first goal of the third and fourth tier comes at the Memorial Stadium, Bristol.

Blackpool, who had that very long FA Cup replay with Nottingham Forest in midweek, take the lead through CJ Hamilton after five minutes.

There might be 125 miles and a three-hour drive between Newport and Wrexham - but there's still a rivalry between these two Welsh clubs in League Two.

Wrexham won the reverse fixture 2-0 a month ago, the first meeting between the sides since County - then a division higher than their opponents - dished out a 4-0 thrashing in an FA Cup second-round replay in 2018.

The real source of this recent rivalry, however, was Newport’s 2-0 win in the 2013 Conference (now known as the National League) play-off final at Wembley, condemning Wrexham to another decade in the non-league wilderness.

But now, the power dynamic has changed with the Hollywood-owned Wrexham riding high in League Two and chasing a second successive promotion, while Newport are 17th.

It’s a sell-out at Rodney Parade, where the capacity has been increased by the addition of a temporary stand. Handy timing with Newport hosting Manchester United in the FA Cup next weekend.
