| Ooof. A quick turnaround in Colchester, where the second-bottom side have come from a goal down to lead 2-1 over Scunthorpe, meaning that if results stay as they are they will join Notts County (losing to Crawley) and Leyton Orient (now 6-1 down to MK Dons) on 47 points.

| Huge goal at the top of the Championship, and it’s a belter, too. Watford are 1-0 up with a magnificent overhead kick by Craig Cathcart, acrobatically belting home from an Ikechi Anya cross.
