HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:19 BST 25 April
West Brom 0-0 Ipswich

Very good from West Brom.
They look like a side playing with confidence and why not, given they are seven unbeaten before today.
Nat Phillips has thundered a header at Christian Walton and the Ipswich goalkeeper also did well to deny Ousmane Diakite and Alex Mowatt while Aune Heggebo has shot just wide.
The visitors have found chances hard to come by with Ivan Azon sending their best opportunity over the bar from close range.
West Brom safe as we stand and Ipswich are back up to second place.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:19 BST 25 April

Morgan Whittaker's 25-yard free-kick and David Strelec's fortunate finish have got Middlesbrough in cruise control but Watford will feel a little hard done by.
Luca Kjerrumgaard has hit a post and they have peppered the home goal with shots.
Boro back in the race for second place?

Ipswich have done well to keep the score the way it is.
I think we need half-time more than West Brom do.

West Brom 0-0 Ipswich

West Brom are knocking at the door.
Alex Mowatt strikes from the edge of the area and Christian Walton gets down to save.

West Brom 0-0 Ipswich

Just wide from West Brom's top-scorer Aune Heggebo.
He starts the move with a wonderful turn and when Danny Imray's cross reaches the Norwegian he drills the shot inches wide.

Charlton 1-0 Hull City

Harry Clarke hurls in another long throw from the Charlton right.
This one isn't cleared by Hull striker Oli McBurnie, which is at least some variation.

Charlton 1-0 Hull City

The away side win a couple of corners in quick succession.
With sixth-placed Wrexham at champions Coventry tomorrow the Tigers know anything here today could be crucial.
Hull trail the sixth-placed Red Dragons on goal difference only.
'Too much space for Watford'published at 13:09 BST 25 April
Middlesbrough 1-0 Watford
Neil Maddison
Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Radio Tees

That would have been a great finish by Luca Kjerrumgaard.
I'll say it again: Watford have far too much space in midfield. All these problems are spurring from the middle of the park.

As a Wolves fan, the only bright side is the Black Country derby next season and the fact I can still go to Tottenham away! This is the only game I'm rooting for Albion...

Middlesbrough 1-0 Watford

Credit to Watford for their reaction to going behind.
Luca Kjerrumgaard comes the closest so far to an equaliser as he hits the post with a shot.

YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:05 BST 25 April
Charlton 1-0 Hull City

The away side finally threaten.
Nice interchange of passes in midfield and then Joe Gelhardt nearly burrows a way in on goal.
The home side clear the corner and Tigers skipper Lewie Coyle is booked for hauling down goalscorer Charlie Kelman.

West Brom 0-0 Ipswich

A chance and a good one for Ipswich.
Kasey McAteer hits a volley across the face of goal and Ivan Azon scoops it over the bar from six yards.
Heads in hands from a few visiting players.

West Brom 0-0 Ipswich

Here come West Brom again.
Danny Imray sends over a brilliant cross and Nat Phillips meets it forcefully but Christian Walton plucks it out from under the crossbar.
Postpublished at 13:02 BST 25 April
Charlton 1-0 Hull City

Charlton defender Harry Clarke has had three long throws from the home side's right and all of them have reached striker Oli McBurnie.
The problem is Oli McBurnie is Hull City's striker.

An Imran Louza free-kick is wide of the mark for Watford.
We are still revelling in that earlier one from Morgan Whittaker for Middlesbrough which gave the home side the lead.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 12:59 BST 25 April

The home side are forced into a sub.
Collins Sichenje is off and former Hull man Reece Burke is on in defence.
