    Leicester City fans won't need reminding again just how far the mighty can fall with the Foxes languishing in 13th in League One just 17 months after being a top flight side - and 10 years on from winning the Premier League.

    But Wigan have also endured a major fall from grace since their FA Cup win over Manchester City in the 2013 final.

    The Latics are rock bottom, four points adrift of safety and facing the prospect of fourth tier football for the first time in 30 years unless they can get their act together.

    Leicester had won two on the bounce in the league for the first time this season before the weekend's 2-1 defeat at Luton, which immediately piled the pressure back on boss Russell Martin.

    At a club the size of the Foxes, there is nowhere to hide and nothing other than an automatic promotion challenge will suffice, so defeat tonight could well spell trouble for Martin.

    Oxford United have been ticking along nicely under former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

    The U's are seventh in League One and six points behind leaders Huddersfield - but importantly have two games in hand on the Terriers, so wins in both of those would take them level.

    Oxford are unbeaten in their past seven games (W4 D3) and one of only two sides, along with Bradford, to have lost just once in the league so far this season.

    Stockport are in fine form themselves and unbeaten in their past six outings (W4 D2), even if a 1-1 draw at Notts County at the weekend did end their four-game winning run.

    Victory tonight for the Hatters would return them to the summit, albeit having played one game more than Huddersfield.

    Luton Town haven't managed to hit any real consistent form in League One yet - until now perhaps?

    The Hatters beat Leicester on Saturday to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season and move up to 10th, three points outside the play-off spots.

    It was also their third win in four matches (L1) - more victories than the two they'd managed in their opening seven games.

    Jack Wilshere's men welcome a Doncaster side fresh off the back of a fine 2-0 South Yorkshire derby win over Sheffield Wednesday.

    But Rovers are still just two points above the drop zone in 17th and know they must keep picking up results to steer clear of a relegation battle.

    MK Dons v Bromley (19:45 GMT)

    MK Dons picked up a much-needed win in their last outing with a 1-0 victory at Stevenage.

    That was only the Dons' second three points of the season and they will be looking to get another today with just two points between them and the bottom four.

    Managerless Bromley head into their second game post the Andy Woodman era after a 1-1 draw at home against Peterborough on Saturday. That result ended a run of three straight defeats, but the Ravens remain in the bottom three, two points from safety.

    Former Bromley defender Byron Webster, who only retired in July and became Woodman's assistant, took charge of that game on an interim basis and will be in the away dugout this evening at Stadium MK hoping to mastermind a first win for Bromley since 19 September when they beat Huddersfield.

  5. How things are looking in League Onepublished at 19:27 GMT 27 October

    Stockport relinquished the League One top spot on Saturday after their 1-1 draw at Notts County, but the Hatters can reclaim that position again if they see off Oxford this evening, who in turn can jump up into the play-off places. Both of these sides are putting their unbeaten stretches of six (Oxford) and seven (Stockport) games on the line.

    Saturday's 3-2 home defeat against Plymouth meant Cambridge slipped down to sixth, so they'll be looking to stay in those play-off positions by keeping Sheffield Wednesday at bay when they travel to Hillsborough tonight.

    The clash at Stadium MK between MK Dons and Bromley could have a significant bearing at the bottom end of the League One standings come full-time. The Ravens could climb out of the drop zone and go level on points with the Dons with a win.

    Like Oxford and the Owls, Luton could also be heading into the top six if they make it three wins on the bounce against Doncaster.

    And Leicester will be looking to bounce back after Saturday's defeat at Kenilworth Road when they host bottom club Wigan, who need to rack up the points if they are to close that four-point gap to safety.

    Just the one game in League Two tonight but it should be a good top of the table clash.

    Second-placed Barnet will aim to close the gap to leaders Salford back to three points after the Ammies won 4-2 at Walsall last night.

    The Bees had won four on the bounce before a draw and a loss in their past two games.

    They welcome York City, who are fifth after 12 games in their first season back in the EFL for 10 years and unbeaten in their past five matches (W2 D3).

    Good evening!

    The weather might be getting chillier as winter draws nearer but some managers in the EFL are feeling the heat at the moment - or have already paid the price with their job.

    Leicester City boss Russell Martin in particular is under pressure and his Foxes side welcome League One's bottom club Wigan tonight.

    We've also got four other matches in the third tier, including Sheffield Wednesday's first game since manager Henrik Pedersen was sacked, as well as one in League Two.

    Welcome along. Let's take a closer look at what's coming up...
