Now then, let's see how this develops.

Sheffield United last scored four goals against Stoke in a 4-0 win at the old Victoria Ground - in 1996.

The Blades have made half-time change with their opening goal scorer Mark McGuinness off and Tyler Bindon on in his place.

Another good chance for a second, Cedric Kipre slips George Hirst through in the area but Carl Rushworth makes a good save low to his left to keep the deficit to one.

Ipswich are not going to sit on this 1-0 lead, make no mistake...

Town have flown out of the blocks in the second half with Jaden Philogene causing the City backline problems and Jack Taylor firing in a rising shot which was well held by Carl Rushworth in the Sky Blues goal.

Big chance for the visitors early in the second half as Bailey Cadamarteri is sent clean through, only to be denied by the legs of Rovers keeper Aynsley Pears.

The Robins make a bright start to the second half as Neto Borges gets down the left and cuts back.

It sneaks all the way through to Mark Sykes on the other side, who sees a shot blocked.

Big 45 minutes incoming for Frank Lampard...

This is the seventh time Coventry have fallen behind in 19 games this season but they have taken 13 points from those previous six games, winning four of them.

Can they do it again?

Only Watford have come from behind to earn more points, their lunchtime win over Norwich made it 18 points recovered from losing positions, although they have come in 13 matches in which the Hornets have fallen behind.

The goals just keep coming (except at Ashton Gate!)... how many more will we see in the second 45 minutes?

Take your seats for the dramatic finale of today's Championship action...

As it was at Leicester, Sheffield United are 3-0 up at half-time. They have been unrelenting.

Gus Hamer is getting a lot of joy down the left and it was his corner from the opposite flank that gave the Blades the lead.

Why wasn't Mark McGuinness marked? And why did Stoke allow that same scenario a subsequent four times too?

It was from another corner that saw Femi Seriki score his first career goal. And what a hit it was! The whole stadium was singing his name after he steadied himself into the D and found the top right corner beyond Viktor Johansson.

And just to put the cherry on top of this first half showing, Seriki was able to stand the ball up for Patrick Bamford to steal in and head home. That was his second in four games.

As for Stoke, they have been a non-entity so far.

Ipswich will be the big climbers if things stay as they are - but leaders Coventry still have 45 minutes to change that of course.

At the bottom, Sheffield United, Blackburn and Swansea are all heading towards important wins to move clear of trouble.

That is surely Swansea's goal of the season contest settled even with five months of the campaign remaining.

It was a beautiful strike from Josh Tymon, who picked out the top corner with a volley from 20 yards after Eom Ji-sung's corner was half-cleared.

Swansea have suddenly take control of this contest - although Gary Rowett may remind his players that the Welsh side were 2-0 up at half-time last weekend and lost.

Earlier today, in League One, Cardiff City stayed top of the pile with a thrilling 3-2 win over Huddersfield.

Bluebirds boss Brian Barry-Murphy has provided his reaction - click the play button to have a listen.

Josh Tymon's goal, only his third for the club, has given Swansea a firm grip of this contest at the break adding to Marko Stamenic's headed opener.

A first win in six and a first win for new boss Vitor Matos is 45 minutes away for the Swans.

Wow. Just wow.

Arthur Okonkwo, take a bow.

He has just made two outstanding saves to deny Thierry Small.

The goalkeeper has been magnificent in this opening half, but Preston North End will be wondering how they go into the break behind.

That would have really given us a lift as we head for the dressing room.

We needed to take advantage to try and close the gap in the league.

There were no real signs, Coventry were playing very casually and confidently and would've been expecting to go into the half-time at 0-0.

The attacking play hasn't been great from either side but we got that goal.

Jonathan Varane's stoppage-time header gives the Rs the lead at the break.

The Blades take a three-goal lead in at the break for the second game in a row.

The hosts made the perfect start with Mark McGuinness heading them into the lead on 10 minutes before quick-fire goals from Femi Seriki and Patrick Bamford put Chris Wilder's side firmly in control.

That was a brilliant half of football by Southampton, when they're playing like that they look like one of the Championship's top teams.
