    Today's fixture will bring up some bad memories for Peterborough United fans.

    They won't need reminding that three years ago they took a four-goal advantage to Hillsborough in the League One play-offs only to throw that lead into the proverbial dustbin.

    Wednesday beat the Posh 5-1 to take the game into extra-time and won on penalties in what has now been termed "the miracle of Hillsborough".

    Wednesday, then managed by Darren Moore, came from behind to win against all the odds in the greatest deficit overturned in play-off history - and went on to win promotion back to the Championship following a last-gasp win at Wembley against Barnsley.

    It is the first meeting between the two clubs since that infamous night. You can read more about it in Ben Ashton's article here.

    Blue Monday? Blue Saturday lunchtime, more like.

    Our early kick-offs feature four sides with blue on their badges and blue on (at least part of) their shirts, although Sheffield Wednesday and Stockport will, of course, be wearing their away kits today.

    Both home sides have made underwhelming starts and are up against two of the promotion favourites.

  3. Can Cods keep unbeaten start going?published at 12:14 BST 5 September

    Fleetwood v Shrewsbury (12:30 BST)

    Fleetwood go into this game unbeaten in their past eight league matches.

    As for this season so far - after winning their first league game, the Cod Army have drawn their past three in a row.

    Matt Lawlor's side, who are sitting 12th in the table, are one of three other sides in League Two on the same run. Those being 10th-placed Tranmere and Grimsby in ninth.

    It's been a struggling start for Shrewsbury as they seek a first away league win since March. A disappointing 3-0 defeat at League Two newcomers Rochdale in their last outing sees Gavin Cowan's side sitting just above the relegation places in 22nd.

    That was their third defeat of the season as they were unable to build on beating Salford in the game prior.

  4. Revitalised Salford welcome bottom side Port Valepublished at 12:10 BST 5 September

    It’s a tale of slow starts for Salford and Port Vale as they meet in Greater Manchester this lunchtime.

    The Red Devils seem to have gotten their season up and running with a win over Newport on Tuesday, as Peter Cklamovski’s side rallied to score two late goals.

    Vale, however, have continued the form which saw them relegated out of League One last season and sit bottom of the League Two table, having scored only two goals this season.

    Three points for the visitors would provide a huge confidence boost, but for Salford it would serve as further relief knowing they might not have to recalculate their promotion expectations as early as September.

    Wigan v Stockport (12:30 BST)

    Wigan Athletic picked up their first league win of the season in midweek with an impressive 3-1 victory against League One new boys MK Dons.

    That win was enough to get them off the foot of the table but they still sit in the bottom four as they host Stockport County in a Greater Manchester derby at lunchtime.

    County have an excellent recent record against local rivals, unbeaten in their past 16 games against fellow Greater Manchester sides (W10 D6) - keeping nine clean sheets across that time.

    Wigan boss Gary Caldwell will be hoping for a second win in a week having lost all four of his games as a manager against County.

  6. High-flyers Wednesday hoping to go toppublished at 12:03 BST 5 September

    Peterborough v Sheffield Wednesday (12:30 BST)

    Sheffield Wednesday head to Peterborough United in one of two lunchtime games in League One, sitting second in the league.

    Last Saturday's stunning 7-2 victory against Bromley was backed up with a 2-1 win at Wycombe in midweek and it feels like things have finally clicked for Henrik Pedersen's side who welcomed new signing Davis Keillor-Dunn from Wrexham on Wednesday.

    They travel to Posh having lost each of their past three away league games at London Road (more on one of them shortly...) but in the knowledge that a win today would take them top of the league before Huddersfield's match against Notts County at 15:00.

    Peterborough have won just one of their first four in the league, picking up a goalless draw last time out at home against Stevenage.
