    About as precious a three points on offer at Wetherby Road as you'll find anywhere, for different reasons.

    Both these sides were shut-out at Oldham in their most recent fixture. The Sulphurites went down 1-0 last Saturday, their third defeat in four league games which saw them slip back into the drop zone after a run of 12 points from the eight games before it.

    The Magpies had plundered nine goals in their two games prior to a meek 3-0 defeat at Boundary Park on Tuesday and have now won four and lost four of their past eight games.

    They needed a stoppage-time penalty from Matthew Dennis to snatch a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at Meadow Lane in November, but will be hoping to improve on that to reclaim a place in the top three, for a few hours at least.

    Goodness me, it's close. Not just the two points separating the bottom four, but look at that goal difference too.

    It all means that a point for Harrogate from their early kick-off against Notts County would not be enough to drag them out of the relegation zone before the rest of the scrappers take to the field later this afternoon.

    The Magpies missed the chance to go into the automatic promotion places at Oldham on Tuesday night but have another opportunity here, though it might be short-lived as Cambridge head to Barnet at 15:00 while leaders Bromley and MK Dons are also in action, while failure to win would open the door for Swindon to climb above County.

    Good afternoon!

    The clocks change tonight and, despite the international break, we still have 30 EFL teams in action today intent on springing forward in the final hours before British Summer Time arrives.

    But, for some of those, their mean time will continue, as they battle to stay up as we enter the final straight of the relegation run-in.

    So leave your flags and face paint at the door, today is a day when domestic football is all that matters.

    Settle in and we'll bring you up to speed...
