Derby 1-0 Oxford

The Derby County class of 1995-96 were out on the pitch at half-time to celebrate 30 years since their promotion to the Premier League.
A feat this season's squad are hoping to repeat through the play-offs.
Leicester City boss Gary Rowett was also part of that promotion-winning squad, by the way. He might be happy about what's unfolding at Pride Park so far but not so much the position his Foxes side are in at the moment.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 13:35 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Four changes for QPR at the break - Julien Stephan would probably have liked to make more.
Paul Smyth, Jonathan Varane, Amadou Mbengue and Kieran Morgan get the hook.
Isaac Hayden, Steve Cook, Nicolas Madsen and Rumarn Burrell are on.

Milwall are heaping the pressure on Southampton for later and Ipswich and Middlesbrough tomorrow.
Derby are putting pressure on the top six.
Oxford, Portsmouth and Leicester are not helping themselves much at the moment, although Pompey will probably be satisfied.

If Middlesbrough and Southampton win this weekend (assuming Millwall don't throw this away) it'll be one point between FOUR teams for the second automatic place. With Ipswich having their game in hand against...Southampton. Oh, you have to love the Championship at this time of year!

'Opportunities on the counter'published at 13:25 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester
Matty Fryatt
Former Leicester City striker on Radio Leicester

Cagey and scrappy so far.
But I think Leicester's best opportunities will come on the break, on the counter attack.
I think they can get after Portsmouth's back line.
Leicester just need to show that composure a little more.

A scrappy first half.
The Foxes survived lots of early pressure from Portsmouth.
All to play for in the second.

HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:21 BST 18 April

A game Leicester need to win and Pompey dare not lose.
Lots of effort, not a lot of quality.
Goalless.
Postpublished at 13:21 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

Is that a shot on target?
It might be.
Bobby de Cordova-Reid gets in behind down the Leicester left after a long throw and hits an effort low across goal that Nicolas Schmid in the home goal gets down to gather.

'Ruthless'published at 13:20 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR
Paul Parker
Ex-QPR and Manchester United defender on BBC Radio London

Millwall are being ruthless.
They'll be disappointed it's only 2-0.

Millwall 2-0 QPR
Phil Parry
BBC Radio London

The majority of fans are smiling at The Den.
Millwall have had a week to prepare for this game and you can tell.
Right from the kick-off, press, press, press.
QPR can't get anything going.

HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:17 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Rams lead but not by much all things considered.
The hosts are at ease against a poor Oxford side, claiming 77% of the possession, and but aside from Jaydon Banel, whose blistering end-to-end run led to a goal of equal quality, Derby have not offered up much worth talking about.
Only one shot on target all match from either side and that was the goal.
Both these sides need a win for their table ambitions. It's bound to spice up in the second half, right?
HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:16 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

Alexa, what is the definition of total dominance in a football match?
We have it at The Den where goals from Derek Mazou-Sacko, his first for Millwall, and Camiel Neghli have moved the Lions back into second place in the Championship as things stand.
Neghli, Tristan Crama twice, Josh Coburn and Zak Sturge have all come close to adding to the scoreline.
We can confirm QPR do have 11 players on the field but that is about it.

Postpublished at 13:16 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Jaydon Banel draws a handball from Sam Long to offer Derby a promising free-kick on the left of goal.
Carlton Morris launches in the air to connect but he sends it into the sky, much to his frustration.
Banel on that left flank has been the brightest spark in a relatively colourless performance from Derby so far.
INJURY TIMEpublished at 13:16 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

We're into a minimum of six minutes of time added on at the end of this half.
Could someone break the deadlock before the interval?

Postpublished at 13:16 BST 18 April
Millwall 2-0 QPR

We will have one minute added at the end of this first 45.
QPR have had a little more of the ball but have created nowt.
Postpublished at 13:15 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

Urgh.
Leicester break forward down their right and Abdul Fatwau just shanks a shot or a cross into the stand.
Sums up how things are going for the struggling Foxes at the moment.

Postpublished at 13:13 BST 18 April
Derby 1-0 Oxford

Joe Ward crosses in a cracking free-kick for his team-mates to get a nod on but Matt Clarke's header leaves much to be desired.
It's sent far wayward of goal. Tame.
Postpublished at 13:13 BST 18 April
Portsmouth 0-0 Leicester

Pompey centre-back Regan Poole latches on to a loose ball and goes for goal.
He drags his effort wide by... some way.
