Brilliant start, exactly what you want,

He's panicked, it's a terrible start for Stockport but a great start for the Reds.

It's almost two in two minutes for Barnsley. Stephen Humphrys goes clean through but his effort is straight at Corey Addai.

He's adjudged to have made a foul in the build-up anyway, but this is some start from Darrell Clarke's side.

An early chance here for the hosts!

Davis Keillor-Dunn is brought down in the area by Tyler Onyango and the ref points to the spot.

Here we go then, your Saturday night EFL headliner is up and running...

Both teams are out on the Oakwell pitch and that can only mean one thing - kick-off is moments away.

Barnsley are in their traditional all-red home strip and Stockport are in their usual blue shirts with white shorts and blue socks.

The stage is set.

Barnsley head coach Darrell Clarke makes just one change to the side which won 2-1 away at Burton Albion last weekend.

Striker Stephen Humphrys is rewarded with a start after scoring the 90th-minute winner in that game. He comes in for Sam Cosgrove, who drops to the bench.

Dave Challinor makes four changes for Stockport County following their 4-1 defeat at home to Leyton Orient.

Captain Lewis Bate returns to the starting line-up, while Tanto Olaofe makes his first start and Ibou Touray and Tyler Onyango are also brought in.

Callum Connolly, Jack Diamond and Callum Camps make way and are all among the substitutes but Tayo Adaramola misses out altogether.

Stockport have hit a mini-slump coming into this fixture, drawing two and losing one of their last three League One matches having previously won their opening three.

Despite their three-match winless streak, Dave Challinor’s side have still enjoyed a solid start on their return to League One for the first time in 14 years.

Such is their impressive start to the season, the 4-1 humbling at home to Leyton Orient last time out almost came as a bit of a shock - and is their only defeat so far.

If County are looking for some good omens, they are unbeaten on the road this season, with a win and two draws.

Barnsley have been desperately trying to gain what must feel like an elusive promotion to the Championship, losing in successive play-offs in recent seasons.

But Darrell Clarke’s side are right up there again in the early stages of this campaign and are seventh after today’s results, with the chance to climb up to third with victory tonight - and move within three points of leaders Birmingham City.

The Tykes snatched a last-minute winner in dramatic fashion away at Burton Albion last Saturday, recovering from their second defeat of the campaign against Stevenage the week before.

If the early signs are anything to go by, Barnsley will be there or thereabouts again in the fight for promotion come May. Third time lucky, maybe? A win tonight wouldn’t hurt.

Barnsley teenager Fabio Jalo (who has made the bench tonight) wasn’t even born the last time these two sides met in a 2-2 draw back in January 2005.

So it seems somewhat apt that this occasion is rewarded with a primetime Saturday night spot for its first roll-out in 19 years.

Oakwell is not historically a happy hunting ground for County who have won on just one of their last eight visits - drawing five and losing the other two.

But those games are very much consigned to the history books now, so who can etch themselves in League One folklore this evening?

Another Saturday and another typically barmy day of EFL action with 81 goals flying in across 31 matches in the Championship, League One and League Two.

A few more tonight would be the perfect way to round-off proceedings.

Our focus is now fully switching to League One for the evening, so here’s a quick recap of today’s results:

• Crawley 0-0 Bolton
• Reading 2-1 Huddersfield
• Birmingham 3-2 Peterborough
• Blackpool 3-0 Burton Albion
• Bristol Rovers 1-2 Wycombe
• Cambridge 0-2 Lincoln
• Leyton Orient 0-0 Wrexham
• Northampton 0-2 Mansfield
• Shrewsbury 1-1 Rotherham
• Stevenage 1-0 Charlton
• Wigan 0-0 Exeter

It’s approximately seven hours since our EFL bonanza kicked off and we’ve got another serving on its way in League One in around 15 minutes time.

Welcome back again for what looks like an already vital clash in the top half of the table between Barnsley and Stockport County at Oakwell.

Victory tonight would see Barnsley climb to third, while Stockport can muscle their way into the play-off spots if they can take three points.

It’s all to play for in South Yorkshire...

Morecambe are off the bottom but it's now 13 games since they won in League Two as Notts County's 79th minute equaliser saw the game in Lancashire finish 1-1.

Accrington, whose game at AFC Wimbledon was postponed, are now propping up the EFL. By the way, next Saturday it's Accrington v Morecambe.

Carlisle's last minute 3-2 defeat at home by Grimsby keeps them third from bottom.

Swindon's second successive loss at Port Vale leaves them looking over their shoulders and they have a long trip to Tranmere in midweek.

Cheltenham's 2-0 home loss to Fleetwood means it's now three games without a win for Mike Flynn's side and they meet Accrington on Tuesday.

The lead changes hands for the third time in seven days.

Notts County started top last week before Barrow took over but Gillingham's win over the Cumbrians today sends them to the summit.

Walsall also went top briefly with their lunchtime thrashing of Colchester.

Port Vale jump to fifth with a 2-1 win over struggling Swindon.

Fleetwood have moved into the top 10 thanks to a 2-0 win at Cheltenham

Cambridge's misery continues after a home defeat to Lincoln. They remain bottom but are further adrift after Shrewsbury's draw with Rotherham.

Burton are also winless after they lost at Blackpool while Bristol Rovers complete the bottom four as they lose late at home to Wycombe.

Leyton Orient will be satisfied with a point at home to Wrexham, Reading even more so after beating Huddersfield.

But home losses for Crawley and Northampton will have them looking over their shoulders, even at this early stage of the campaign.

Birmingham City are looking down on the rest after they come from two down to beat Peterborough and they now top League One and remain unbeaten.

Wrexham are second after a goalless draw in east London with Leyton Orient but there was plenty of movement behind them.

Lincoln, Blackpool, Mansfield and Wycombe occupy the play-off spots after wins today - you would get a lot of money for predicting that quartet for the play-offs next May.

However, one of Barnsley or Stockport will be in the top six by the end of the day as they meet at Oakwell this evening (19:45 BST).

• Birmingham come from 2-0 down to beat Peterborough 3-2 and go top of League One.
• Previous leaders Wrexham are held to a goalless draw by Leyton Orient.
• Blackpool make it four wins in a row under Steve Bruce as they beat Burton 3-0.
• Lincoln are up to third with a two-goal win at bottom side Cambridge.
• Stevenage beat Charlton by a goal while Mansfield and Wycombe win on the road at Northampton and Bristol Rovers respectively.
• Shrewsbury and Rotherham draw 1-1 and it ends goalless between Wigan and Exeter.

It is six league wins in a row for the first time since 1985 for Birmingham City!

They could have had more, they probably should have had more but they'll take that.
