    Sheff Utd 0-0 Derby

    The home side win a free-kick 30 yards out and try and work a routine off the training ground but Oliver Arblaster's ball back to Harrison Burrows is short, his attempt is blocked and the ball has popped.

    Thankfully, they've got spares.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 12:34 BST 24 October

    Charlton 0-0 Norwich

    A super save from Daniel Grimshaw prevents Charlton from taking an immediate lead.

    The ball is played forward up to Tyreece Campbell, who makes a great run behind the defenders to set up a duel with the stopper. Grimshaw comes straight out to close Campbell down and his foot blocks the shot.

    Maybe Campbell could have done slightly better but Grimshaw couldn't have done anything more.

    Portsmouth, still a tiny playing budget but showing virtue of long term thinking. Great recovery from south coast derby setback.

    I think we've started really brightly.

    Hamza Choudhury has had some good moments down the right.

    Good attacking intent and pace so far.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Millwall

    Pompey send a hopeful long ball forward into the right channel and Abu Kamara chases it down but Millwall defender Zak Sturge does well to shepherd it back to Max Crocombe in the visiting goal.

    Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has made two changes from the side that started the 1-0 win at Bristol City. Striker Patrick Bamford comes back into the XI and full-back Hamza Choudhury returns after his one-match ban.

    Derby welcome back goalkeeper Jacob Zetterstrom from injury for his first appearance since 12 September. Former Blades forward Rhian Brewster and Henrik Meister also come into the XI as boss John Eustace makes three changes from the side that started the 1-0 home reverse by Stoke.

    Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder talked about this being a "rollercoaster" Championship season last week so it is apt that his side have won three and lost three of their past six.

    The Blades have a decent recent record against struggling Derby, with five wins from their past seven meetings.

    The Rams are desperate for a win to get their season going after just one victory from their opening 11 games.

    John Eustace's men are the division's joint lowest scorers with nine and no other team has failed to score in as many league games (four) as they have this season.

    Portsmouth boss John Mousinho makes four changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Wolves in midweek.

    Marlon Pack, Zak Swanson, Ryan Kavuma-McQueen and Marezi all start.

    Jayden Meghoma, Ebou Adams, Rocco Shein and Tyrese Shade drop to the bench.

    Alex Neil makes two alterations for Millwall following their 2-2 draw at home to Lincoln last time out.

    Max Crocombe starts in goal in place of the injured Filip Marschall while Luke Cundle comes in for Mark Sykes, who is among the subs.

    Two weeks really is a long time in football, isn't it?

    When the final whistle blew in the south coast derby on Sunday, 11 October, Portsmouth fans were devastated at a 1-0 loss to their 10-man bitter rivals Southampton which raised more questions than answers.

    But two wins and a draw at Wolves since then and the Pompey garden is looking a lot rosier, with John Mousinho's side up to 13th, seven points clear of the relegation zone and, whisper it very quietly... within striking distance of the play-off spots.

    As for Millwall, perhaps five months seems like an eternity. From narrowly missing out on promotion to the Premier League by one point and losing in the play-off semi-final, the Lions are struggling slightly of late by the very high standards they set last season.

    Alex Neil's men have won just two of their past nine games (D3 L4) but they remain two points off the top eight and a couple of victories can certainly change the mood very quickly at this stage of the campaign.

  15. Kelman starts for Addicks, McLean on the bench for Canariespublished at 12:16 BST 24 October

    Charlie Kelman will make his first start of the season for Charlton Athletic as part of four changes.

    He will be alongside Josh Edwards, Joe Rankin-Costello and Sonny Carey, with Ivan Mesik and Miles Leaburn on the bench.

    Oliver Skipp misses out after being substituted at half time against Watford, as does Danny McNamara.

    Norwich City captain Kenny McLean is on the bench returning from a three league game absence with injury, as is goalkeeper Vladan Kovacevic after missing two.

    Jose Cordoba and Jovon Makama join them as potential substitutes but Anis Ben Slimane doesn't make the trip.

    Mathias Kvistgaarden, Paris Maghoma and Harry Darling make up the triple change.

  16. Canaries frustrated but Clement staying calmpublished at 12:14 BST 24 October

    "Stay calm in the frustration" is the task Norwich City boss Philippe Clement has assigned to himself but it must be easier said than done when people are questioning if you're the man for the job.

    After the fine work he did with Norwich to end last season with a 55% win ratio, the Belgian's birds have fallen back to earth with just a 27% win rate so far in this campaign.

    It's going wrong. Very wrong. In fact, Clement's Canaries are only one point and a place better off than they were this time last year under Liam Manning, who was sacked after 15 games in charge.

    They need a quick turnaround but the only team that has walked into The Valley and left with a victory this season is Charlton Athletic themselves.

  17. Boro the ones to beatpublished at 12:12 BST 24 October

    Middlesbrough's emphatic victory over Bolton last night means they have sailed to the top of the table.

    Both Swansea and West Ham will be looking to usurp them today, while Birmingham City are in for a shout at an automatic spot if both lose.

    The midweek draw between Wolves and Portsmouth has the Wanderers in seventh for now but 13th placed Pompey could claim a play-off spot themselves by the end of the day.

    Norwich and Watford will be aiming to steer clear of the bottom three with Burnley in the best position to break out if they can beat 18th placed Lincoln City this afternoon.

  18. Storm Austen causes chaos, Boelo's on the way...published at 12:10 BST 24 October

    The Covered End? That might be the best place to be today with the grim weather swirling about.

    Storm Austen ripped across the UK on Friday with wind gusts of up to 84mph, causing damage, travel chaos and leaving more than 18,000 homes without power.

    Another storm, named Boelo, arrives today and is set to cause more disruption, which could impact fans going to games - as well as the conditions for the matches themselves.

    The Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning for the north of England, as well as a yellow rain alert for the south and the entirety of the west, stretching from Cornwall to Carlisle in the far north-west.

    "Heavy rain and strengthening winds quickly sweeping east as Storm Boelo arrives," the BBC Weather forecast says. "Heaviest of the rain in the west and north, with gales developing for many with damaging winds possible further north."

    The clubs playing at home today who are covered by the weather warnings include Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Blackburn, Cardiff, Preston and Stoke.

    It could be a very wet and blustery afternoon of Championship football at many grounds.

    What a way to start the Championship weekend it was on Friday night. Well, unless you are a Bolton fan of course.

    Middlesbrough produced a scintillating display to make light work of Wanderers and romp to a 5-1 victory which took Kim Hellberg's side to the summit before everyone else plays today.

    In-form striker Will Lankshear was at the double to take his tally for the league season to 11, while Aidan Morris and ex-Bolton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry also netted.

    Lewis Brunt deflected into his own net following Adilson Malanda's header and Theo Bair scored a mere consolation for the home side.
