    GOAL: Stoke 1-1 Portsmouth

    Lamine Cisse (48 mins)

    The home side level things up.

    Lamine Cisse gets his fourth goal of the season for the Potters with a header from a Sorba Thomas corner.

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    QPR 1-1 Derby

    Kealey Adamson is on for QPR.

    Amadou Mbengue has not come out for the second-half.

  3. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Utd 0-2 Preston

    Four changes at 3-0 down at the break on Wednesday but just one at 2-0 down at the interval today.

    Harrison Burrows is on for Leo Hjelde for the home side.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    Robi Dickie has replaced Cameron Pring at the break for Bristol City.

  7. QPR 1-1 Derby County

    Harry Low
    BBC Radio London at Loftus Road

    On the stroke of half-time Harvey Vale looked to have deservedly restored QPR's lead, direct from a corner, but a push on the goal line by Kieran Morgan means it's ruled out. Richard Kone was claiming it after heading home but the referee denies the Hoops a second.

    Despite having 14 shots on goal, QPR somehow find themselves level against a Derby side who have scored with their only shot on target.

    Jacob Zetterstrom is earning his corn in the away goal, making six saves in all.

  8. HALF-TIME

    Stoke 0-1 Portsmouth

    Adrian Segecic's goal the difference between these two at the break.

    The travelling Pompey fans are in party mood after they secured safety in midweek, the home fans... Less so.

  9. HALF-TIME

    Sheff Utd 0-2 Preston

    Liam Lindsay's first-ever career double has the away side in full control at an unhappy Bramall Lane.

  10. 'Game we needed'

    HT: Oxford 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Peter Rhoades-Brown
    Former Oxford and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford

    We all needed cheering up after the relegation news before kick-off, and we have got that.

    The sun is shining, the pitch is beautiful, and both sets of fans are behind their fans even though they'll be in League One next season.

    Let's go and enjoy our final 45 minutes of Championship football at the Kassam.

  11. HALF-TIME

    Birmingham 2-0 Bristol City

    Birmingham City celebrate Jhon Solis' goal against Bristol CityGetty Images

    Birmingham cruising.

    Phil Neumann and Jhon Solis have got the goals.

    Tomi Horvat has come closest for Bristol City, forcing a save out of James Beadle.

  12. HALF-TIME

    Oxford 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Tottenham loanee Will Lankshear is on for a first hat-trick of his senior career.

    The Owls have improved since going two down in this game between two relegated sides but it looks like being a 32nd defeat of the Championship season for them.

  13. Oxford 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Owls goalkeeper Pierce Charles makes a top save to stop Will Lankshear completing his hat-trick before the break.

  14. HALF-TIME

    QPR 1-1 Derby

    Harvey Vale had already hit the post before giving the home side the lead after 13 minutes.

    Derby equalised with their first serious effort thanks to Oscar Fraulo.

    Paul Smyth brought a decent save out of Derby goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom and the home side had a goal chalked off right on the whistle for a foul from a corner.

    Derby need a goal to stay alive in the play-off race.

  15. HALF-TIME

    Norwich 0-0 Swansea

    Mohamed Toure, Anis Ben Slimane and Paris Maghoma have all tested Lawrence Vigouroux in the Swansea goal.

    Norwich know a win keeps them in the play-off frame and they have the most victories in the Championship in 2026 - they have won 14 times since the turn of the year which is two more than they managed in the whole of 2025.

  16. 'U's putting on a show'

    The U's are already down but they really are putting on a show for the home support.

  17. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Oxford 2-0 Sheff Wed

    The away side have been much-improved in the past few minutes.

    Charlie McNeill takes a shot from the edge of the area that skims the post as it goes wide.

  18. Stoke 0-1 Portsmouth

    Lamine Cisse has a couple of quick chances for the home side but can't make them count.

  19. Sheff Utd 0-2 Preston

    Blades boss Chris Wilder made four changes at half-time in the 3-1 home defeat by Blackburn on Wednesday.

    Could he repeat that today?

  20. 'Mills really bright'

    Oxford 2-0 Sheff Wed

    Andy Giddings
    BBC Radio Sheffield commentator

    In terms of energy and intensity, Stanley Mills has looked really bright for Oxford so far.

    He doesn't waste opportunities to attack, and is causing Wednesday all kinds of problems.
