    Swansea 0-0 Preston

    Ronald is back in the Swansea starting Xl tonight and he sends an early shot wide of the target.

    The Swans have won seven of their past eight league games at home so Preston know they are up against it.

    Wrexham 0-0 Portsmouth

    One of the Wrexham men replaced tonight is Ben Sheaf, and there are fears he could miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

    Pompey have come into the game a little more after a sprightly start by the hosts but no goalmouth action to report.

  3. 'Leicester have to capitalise on set-pieces'published at 19:53 GMT 24 February

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Leicester

    Matt Heath
    Former Foxes defender

    Leicester have got to take their chances with the set-pieces, it's their biggest chance to get a goal.

    What I'm liking is that we've got a calmness on the ball. We've looked like we're trying to lay a glove on Middlesbrough.

    The downside is it seems a bit back and forth and I don't think we can keep that up against Middlesbrough.

    A team transformed...

    Ryoya Morishita makes a burst down the right for Blackburn and pulls it back for Yuki Ohashi who fires an excellent first time finish into the roof of the net at the near post.

    Ohashi with the dramatic late winner against rivals Preston four days ago and now he's set Rovers on their way here as they seek out a fourth win in five games.

    West Brom 0-0 Charlton

    There are a lot of empty seats around The Hawthorns tonight.

    But Baggies boss Eric Ramsay had plenty of company as he came out, with his technical area surrounded by photographers.

    Blackburn 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City have looked bright in the opening five minutes or so at Ewood Park with plenty of possession.

    Blackburn have only won four games at home this season (D5 L8), but two of those have been in their previous two.

    Wrexham 0-0 Portsmouth

    Blackburn 0-0 Bristol City

    [RE: Finley 19:32] As another long-suffering Rovers fan, we always have a good start to the season fall off at Christmas and come back narrowly near the play-offs, or very near the relegation zone like this year!

    Mike, Birmingham

    I would like to thank the Bristol City fans in advance for turning up to Ewood tonight. It's a long way to come to see your team get thumped. At least you get to see a Premier League-level stadium, though.

    Middlesbrough on the front foot right from the off as they win a free-kick 20 yards out.

    We had eight goals here on Saturday, and Wrexham look intent in getting the ball rolling early tonight too, it seems!

    These are some of the strangest sights and sounds you're likely to encounter at a stadium.

    While the teams were warming up, Snoop Dogg was walking around the pitch as his back catalogue played on the soundsystem, waving his Snoop and Swans-branded towel above his head as fans did the same and chanted "Snoop Dogg's barmy army".

    In case anyone had forgotten, there's still a game to come.
