  1. Wigan and Blackburn stay on coursepublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    League One latest

    A goal at last at Blackburn, and it's the league leaders who've got it.

    No surprises the goalscorer either, Danny Graham popping up in the right spot to score his 16th of the season.

    Elsewhere, Nick Powell has extended Wigan's lead against MK Dons to 3-1, while Fleetwood have pegged Rotherham back, Cian Bolger making the scoreline at the New York Stadium 2-2.

  2. Exeter back on level termspublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    League Two latest

    Exeter were hoping to keep up the pressure on Wycombe for the final automatic promotion spot in League Two today, only to trail 1-0 at half-time at Cambridge.

    The Grecians are level now though, Jayden Stockley cancelling out Jabo Ibehre's opener for the hosts.

  3. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Reading 1-0 Preston

    Reading have been living a bit dangerously.

    They still lead 1-0 but Preston substitute Sean Maguire almost levelled the scores with a header that comes back off the post.

  4. Millers grind Fleetwood downpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    League One latest

    Rotherham are showing the resilience that has made them best of the rest in League One.

    The Millers are some way off the top three, but they are comfortably sitting fourth in the table, and they lead 2-1 against Fleetwood after trailing earlier in the afternoon.

    Joe Newell has bagged their second goal, firing into the bottom corner from outside the box.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Derby 3-0 Boltonpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Tom Lawrence (54 mins)

    That makes the second half a whole lot easier.

    Tom Lawrence picks up possession and drives towards goal before striking a sweet shot that as good as wraps up the points.

    Bolton have only picked up 11 points away from home all season. Scoring three in 35 minutes seems way beyond them.

  6. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 2-0 Bristol Citypublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Steve Morison (52 mins)

    The Lions are flying!

    Millwall's veteran forward Steve Morison plays a one-two before coming inside and curling left-footed into the corner past Frank Fielding.

    A huge, huge goal in the context of the play-off race.

  7. Postpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Reading 1-0 Preston

    An early second-half chance for Preston to equalise against the Royals, but Billy Bodin shoots wildly off target from Greg Cunningham's cross.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 0-1 Burtonpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Lloyd Dyer (48 mins)

    The perfect start to the second half for the visitors at St Andrew's.

    Hope Akpan plays in Lloyd Dyer to smash it past Blues keeper David Stockdale.

    With that goal, Dyer has scored in all four of his league appearances against his former side Birmingham City for Burton Albion

  9. goal

    GOAL: Leeds 0-1 Sunderlandpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Paddy McNair (48 mins)

    How about this for a scoreline at the bottom of the Championship?!

    Paddy McNair's half-volley puts Sunderland in front at Leeds and there's even more good news on the way for Black Cats fans too...

  10. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    Can Fulham go on to beat Sheffield Wednesday? The Championship and other EFL action is resuming.

    Lots of ground to be gained and lost in the various promotion and relegation issues.

  11. Wolves on the brink of promotion?published at 16:02 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    HT: Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Fulham

    It's worth noting that if Fulham fail to score this afternoon, it'll open the door for Wolves to secure promotion in midweek.

    Fulham need to win at least one of their next two games - at Hillsborough today or against Reading on Tuesday - else Wolves could seal their Premier League return against Derby on Wednesday.

    If Fulham take only one point from those two matches Wolves will be up before the Rams visit Molineux.

  12. Barnet strike late in the halfpublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 7 April 2018

    League Two half-time scores

    Barnet are in dire straits at the bottom of League Two, but contributions like this one from Alex Nicholls will give their fans a little hope, his strike from outside the box putting them one goal up against fellow strugglers Forest Green.

    Luton are cruising at nine-man Yeovil, Danny Hylton's second penalty making it 3-0 at Huish Park.

    • Barnet 1-0 Forest Green
    • Cambridge 1-0 Exeter
    • Cheltenham 0-0 Morecambe
    • Colchester 0-0 Accrington
    • Grimsby 0-0 Chesterfield
    • Mansfield 1-4 Crewe
    • Newport 0-1 Stevenage
    • Notts County 0-0 Coventry
