Adam Lanigan, Glenn Speller, Matt Cresswell and Oliver Brindle

  1. CLOSE!

    Ipswich 0-0 Sheff Wed

    A chance for an opener at Portman Road, but it is for the beleaguered Owls.

    Jamal Lowe goes round goalkeeper Christian Walton and strokes it towards goal, but defender Cedric Kipre is there to kick it off the line.

  2. Derby 0-1 Portsmouth

    Matt Clarke and Bobby Clark both fail to find the target with efforts as Derby look for a way back against a Portsmouth side with the worst away record in the Championship.

  3. 'A huge blow for Middlesbrough'

    Bristol City 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Mark Drury
    BBC Radio Tees commentator

    I hoped it was just tightness on a cold afternoon for Riley McGree.

    That is a huge blow for Middlesbrough as he has been in fantastic form at the moment.

    He looks absolutely distraught and he looks like a man that knows it is serious.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    Bristol City 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Not good news for Middlesbrough as just before Emil Riis' goal, they lost Australia midfielder Riley McGree to injury.

    He has been in good form since returning from injury in early November but he has to go off with teenager Sverre Nypan replacing him.

  5. QPR 1-0 Leicester

    Almost a second for the home side and a second for Koki Saito.

    Karamoko Dembele sends over an inviting cross but the Japanese midfielder somehow misses from close range.

  6. RED CARD (Tommy Doyle - Birmingham City)

    Sheffield United 1-0 Birmingham

    It goes from bad to worse for Birmingham City!

    Former Blades loanee Tommy Doyle is shown a straight red card for taking out Gus Hamer on the touchline - I think Doyle thought he would get away with just a yellow but the referee brandishes him with the red!

    It's a long way back for the 10 men now.

  7. CLOSE!

    Charlton 0-0 Oxford United

    Oxford United midfielder Will Vaulks hits a shot from distance which goes just wide of the Charlton goal.

    Closest we've come to breaking the deadlock at The Valley so far.

  8. Watford 0-0 Stoke

    Robert Bozenik has had a header blocked for Stoke and Watford have just that Othmane Maamma shot which was saved to show for their efforts.

    Cagey stuff.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Emil Riis (17 mins)

    Emil Riis opens the scoring for Bristol City against MiddlesbroughShutterstock

    Middlesbrough had started on the front foot, but it is Bristol City who lead!

    Emil Riis gets clear and the big Dane's first effort is blocked, but he puts the second one beyond Sol Brynn.

    A seventh of the season for Riis.

  10. YELLOW CARD

    Sheffield United 1-0 Birmingham

    Christoph Klarer is the second man in the book for Birmingham for bringing down Callum O'Hare.

    That's both of Blues' central defenders cautioned now early on at Bramall Lane.

  11. Bristol City 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough have been so good in the first half under Kim Hellberg and they are on the front foot in this one.

    They have hit the woodwork and Callum Brittain has fizzed over a couple of dangerous balls from the right, which are begging for a final touch.

  12. Hull 0-0 West Brom

    There are few more bustling forwards than Oli McBurnie and back in the team today, the big man is close to an opener.

    But he glances an effort wide, that was close to his 11th of the season for the Tigers.

  13. Charlton 0-0 Oxford United

    Goalless so far at The Valley.

    The home side have had the first shot of the match but Sonny Carey's effort from the angle of the box is off target.

  14. Watford 0-0 Stoke

    Having been voted Africa's young player of the year it is a bit of a surprise Watford's Othmane Maamma is not with Morocco at Afcon and it looks like he wants to show them what they are missing.

    The 20-year-old forces a decent stop out of Viktor Johansson.

  15. Ipswich 0-0 Sheff Wed

    With Millwall and Preston both dropping points, Ipswich can move up to third with a win.

    George Hirst headed an early chance over but the Scotland forward now needs to go off injured.

    Spaniard Ivan Azon is on in his place.

  16. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Bristol City 0-0 Middlesbrough

    We know what is at stake for Middlesbrough if they can find a win and they almost have an opener.

    Tommy Conway finds Morgan Whittaker and the man-in-form hits the post.

    So close to a seventh goal in seven games.

  17. goal

    GOAL Derby 0-1 Portsmouth

    Callum Lang (6 mins)

    Pompey chiming.

    Portsmouth survive a Derby corner and from the goal kick work the ball to Callum Lang.

    He beats a couple of players before finding the back of the net for his second goal of the season.

    This game has started at quite a pace.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Sheffield United 1-0 Birmingham

    Tyler Bindon (5 mins)

    Tyler Bindon rises to score for Sheffield UnitedShutterstock

    The hosts hit the front!

    Unmarked central defender Tyler Bindon rises highest to meet a Gus Hamer corner from the right to head home past Blues keeper Ryan Allsop.

    It's an excellent header by Bindon who finds the top corner.

    Nightmare start for the visitors who have already lost seven on the road in the league this season.

  19. 'Leicester need to get out wide'

    QPR 1-0 Leicester

    Stephen Clemence
    Former Leicester midfielder on BBC Radio Leicester

    It is clear QPR are in a 4-4-2 and have deep block going on, and it will be difficult for Leicester to pass through and the Foxes are going to have to be more direct.

    They need to get out wide or over the top, they won't be able to go straight through the middle.

  20. Derby 0-0 Portsmouth

    Rhian Brewster tests Portsmouth goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid from distance.

    The man who signed a new contract this week makes a comfortable save.
