Adam Randell breaks the deadlock at Ashton Gate with an absolute rocket from at least 25 yards out. One to add to the early goals of the year list – and only slightly spoiled by the hosts wearing their white away kit today.

More on Wrexham’s early victory at Ewood Park, which leaves Blackburn mired in the bottom six.

The Championship’s form team take an early lead at Vicarage Road, Tom Ince volleying home for Javi Gracia’s side. And no, it’s not 2019 again – Gracia returned to the Hornets for a second stint in October.

Full day of action in the Championship

Runaway Championship leaders Coventry will hope to return to winning ways when they visit Charlton this afternoon.

Second-placed Middlesbrough travel to Derby, Ipswich host struggling Oxford as they aim to continue their impressive recent form, while Hull – in fourth – take on Stoke.

Promotion hopefuls Millwall are away at Southampton, Watford welcome Birmingham to Vicarage Road, while three points for Preston against bottom side Sheffield Wednesday could see them end the day in the play-off places.

Bristol City are just outside the top six ahead of their New Year clash with Portsmouth, QPR meet relegation-threatened Norwich, and West Brom make the trip to Swansea.

Pick of the stats: Charlton Athletic v Coventry City

Relegation-battling Charlton Athletic welcome Championship leaders Coventry City for a vital clash at both ends of the table on New Year's Day (15:00 GMT kick-off).

The Addicks suffered an agonising late defeat at Portsmouth last time out for their seventh loss in nine games (W1 D1) to leave them just five points clear of the drop zone.

The Sky Blues are eight points clear of Middlesbrough in second and 10 ahead of Ipswich in third, who subjected them to their first league home defeat of the season on Monday night.

But Frank Lampard's side will be keen to get back on track after just two wins from their past six games (D2 L2) – both of which were by a 1-0 scoreline at the CBS Arena, having failed to win any of their previous three away matches (D2 L1).
