EFL League One & League Two LIVE: 21 fixtures – text and scores

The biggest mismatch of the day, on paper, but since when
were League One games played on paper.

Blues look every inch champions elect, sitting nine points
clear of Wrexham with two games in hand, while they have an even healthier lead
in the race for automatic promotion, 12 points ahead of Wycombe with an extra
game to play too.

Shrewsbury are rock-bottom, 55 points worse off and
effectively 15 points from safety, given their inferior goal difference, with nine games left to play.

Despite a run of one point from their past seven games,
Salop boss Gareth Ainsworth was prised away somewhat acrimoniously by League
Two Gillingham on Tuesday, with Michael Appleton (pictured) appointed in his stead the
following day.

Anything other than a ninth straight home win for City would
be an almighty shock, but, this if the EFL, remember.

Town ran out 3-2 winners in the reverse fixture in Ainsworth’s
first game at the helm on 23 November –
one of only three defeats Chris Davies’ men have suffered all season, all of
them on the road.

If they can repeat the feat today it would complete Shrewsbury’s first double over Blues in 34 years.
