KICK-OFF: Swindon Town get us underway.
The players are out and kick-off is just moments away.
Whatever happens today, Swindon fans can rest slightly easier after Oxford United lost 3-1 against Gillingham in today's early kick-off.

We're going 2-2.
There will be a minutes applause for club legend goalkeeper Sam Burton who passed away earlier in the week.
The club website said:
The 'keeper made 463 league appearances for Town, an amount only bettered by John Trollope and his good friend and teammate during the 1950's, Maurice Owen.
Sam became Swindon's first-choice goalkeeper in 1950 and kept that position for eleven years - only injury would keep him out of the side. He also kept future Ireland international Norman Uprichard out of the first eleven.
The club awarded Burton with a testimonial and his final apperance came just two days after his 35th birthday in an FA Cup defeat to Kettering Town.
In contrast, AFC Wimbledon manager Glyn Hodges makes two changes from the side that lost against Accrington Stanley.
WIMBLEDON XI:
GK: Trueman
O'Neill
Csoka
Woodyard
Thomas
Chislett

Swindon Town make three changes from their loss against Peterborough as Diallang Jaiyesimi, Dion Donohue, and Jonathan Grounds all come into the starting XI.
Rob Hunt makes the bench after recovering from a back injury whilst Paul Caddis and Zeki Fryers remain sidelines with respective injury problems.

Just one point separates the two team's coming into today's fifth round of EFL League One fixtures.
Swindon Town have endured a mixed start to the season, winning two and losing two, with an away loss against Peterborough United last weekend giving Richie Wellens' side six points from a possible 12.
