    Conor Chaplin and Mark Kosznovszky are off.

    Derby bring on Andreas Weimann for Rhian Brewster.

  2. Hull 1-0 West Brom

    With Millwall and Preston dropping points, Hull will climb to fourth if this stays the same.

    Fairly quiet opening to this half and Sergej Jakirovic's Tigers won't mind that at all.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONS

    QPR 4-0 Leicester

    A triple change for Leicester.

    Off go Jordan James, Jordan Ayew and Jannik Vestergaard.

    On come Silko-Amari Thomas, Aaron Ramsey and Hamza Choudhury - good luck lads!

  4. CLOSE!

    Sheffield United 3-0 Birmingham

    Tatith Chong's left footed strike from range is well saved by Blues keeper Ryan Allsop, who keeps the score down to three.

    Meanwhile, Birmingham boss Chris Davies makes a triple change with Lewis Koumas, Lyndon Dykes and Eiran Cashin on in place of Willum Willumsson, Demarai Gray and ex-Blade Jack Robinson.

  5. Bristol City 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Forget form or mood, sometimes there are teams that just have the Indian sign over you.

    It feels like that for Middlesbrough as they look set for a fifth straight loss to Bristol City.

    Stoke introduce Ben Pearson and Tatsuki Seko for Steven Nzonzi and Bosun Lawal.

    Watford swap out Tom Ince for Vivaldo Semedo.

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Tees

    It was a great ball into the box and he was totally free and he just has to get his head on it.

    Boro are not in this game, and that is because Bristol City have done their homework.

  9. Derby 1-1 Portsmouth

    Finally Portsmouth offer something.

    They have a corner which reaches Andre Dozzell but can't get his effort on target.

    Better from the visitors.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Sheffield United 3-0 Birmingham

    Double change for the home side as Chris Wilder potentially looks ahead to a packed festive fixture schedule.

    Goalscorers Patrick Bamford and Gus Hamer are off and on in their place are Tom Cannon and Danny Ings.

    GOAL: Ipswich 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Jaden Philogene (60 mins)

    The three points are staying in Suffolk as Jaden Philogene has his eighth goal of the season.

    All of those have come at Portman Road and he does the business again, drilling past Pierce Charles after Marcelino Nunez had slipped it to him.

  13. Watford 0-0 Stoke

    More Viktor Johansson heroics.

    This time the Swede denies Luca Kjerrumgaard.

    Watford are putting the pedal to the metal.

    Stoke respond with a Sorba Thomas effort that whistles just off target.

    We still await a goal.

    Rob Atkinson was sent on to protect Bristol City's one-goal lead. Well, he's now given them a two-goal lead!

    Scott Twine with the corner and Atkinson gets a run on it to power a header past Sol Brynn.

  15. QPR 4-0 Leicester

    Charlton 0-0 Oxford United

    This match is beginning to open up now.

    First, for the visitors, Ciaron Brown fires wide a very presentable opportunity inside the box.

    Mattie Pollock heads wide for Watford.

    Sorba Thomas is cautioned for Stoke.

  19. SUBSTITUTION

    Ipswich 1-0 Sheff Wed

    With their depleted resources, Sheffield Wednesday cannot afford to lose too many players to injuries.

    But experienced defender Dominic Iorfa cannot continue after a collision with Spaniard Ivan Azon.

    Henrik Pedersen will hope it is not too serious.

  20. QPR 4-0 Leicester

    It has taken 54 minutes but Leicester have an effort on target.

    Ricardo Pereira's header is dealt with by Ben Hamer who is between the sticks in place of the benched Paul Nardi for QPR today.
