  1. Three and easy for dominant Leeds

    HT: Watford 0-3 Leeds

    Leeds xG

    Two clinical finishes from Dan James and a slightly fortuitous deflected effort from Manor Solomon have got table toppers Leeds in total control at Watford.

  2. Shooooottt!

    Norwich 0-1 Preston

    Borja Sainz has been pretty quiet in this first half but the Norwich forward picks the ball up in space in the '10' position. A shot from 20-odd yards is on - and the crowd want it - but he tries to slide a pass in behind and it's cut out.

    Bet he hits the next one.

  3. HT: Derby 0-0 Oxford

    Jerome Sale
    BBC Radio Oxford commentator

    It is not much of a game, not much in terms of creativity.

    There is more quality on the pitch than what is being shown.

    As a caretaker manager all Matt Hamshaw wants to do is come out unscathed, with a clean sheet, with points on the board and then he has done his job.

  4. Norwich 0-1 Preston

    Still plenty of gametime left in this one of course, which kicked off at 8pm and then had a lengthy injury break.

  5. HALF-TIME

    Watford 0-3 Leeds

    Leeds goalscorer Dan James celebrates with Joel Piroe and Jayden BoglePA Media

    Championship leaders Leeds well on the way to another three points.

    Dan James got the first two and fellow winger Manor Solomon made it 3-0 after 35 minutes with a deflected effort.

    The Whites going five points clear at the top as it stands.

  6. HALF-TIME

    Coventry 0-0 QPR

    QPR keeper Paul Nardi saves at the feet of Ellis SimmsRex Features

    And that's it for the first half.

    No goals to report.

  7. HALF-TIME

    Portsmouth 2-1 Cardiff

    Portsmouth players celebrate their second goal against CardiffRex Features

    The referee brings a close to an exciting first half at Fratton Park.

    Goals from Colby Bishop and Conor Shaughnessy, both assisted by Josh Murphy, gave the hosts the perfect start.

    But the Bluebirds hit back immediately through a brilliant header from Callum O'Dowda.

  8. HALF-TIME

    Derby 0-0 Oxford

    Derby forward Nathaniel Mendez-Laing tries to find a way past Oxford's Peter KiosoPA Media

    Nothing doing in this one so far.

    Managerless Derby, who look set to appoint Blackburn manager John Eustace tomorrow, have had the better of things.

  9. CLOSE!

    Coventry 0-0 QPR

    Big save from Oliver Dovin.

    QPR winger Paul Smyth cuts in and forces a strong stop from the Coventry goalkeeper.

    One minute of added time.

  10. CLOSE!

    Norwich 0-1 Preston

    So nearly two for Preston!

    They switch the ball really well from left to right and they have an overload at the far post. Captain Ryan Ledson takes the ball down on his chest delightfully and then clumps a shot on the bounce across Angus Gunn and just wide as well.

    A sharp intake of breath from all the Canaries fans behind that goal...

  11. Watford 0-3 Leeds

    Watford have had more of the possession in this game so far.

    Unfortunately for them, table-topping Leeds have got all of the goals.

  12. CLOSE!

    Portsmouth 2-1 Cardiff

    A big double save denies Joel Bagan from levelling the score.

    The defender weaves his way through from the left-hand side before toe-poking at goal.

    Pompey keeper Nicolas Schmid throws out his left hand to block the ball and it falls straight back to Bagan, who's second effort is straight at the goalkeeper.

    Cardiff plays some really nice football at times.

    One minute of normal time to go in the first half.

  13. Derby 0-0 Oxford

    The home side are firmly on top in this one but are yet to make the key breakthrough.

    The Rams are after a first win since 26 December.

  14. Norwich 0-1 Preston

    Norwich manager Johannes Hoff Thorup wears a concerned look on his face as he prowls the technical area. His side have had nearly 70% of the ball but they have also been contained really well by Preston so far.

    It's all in front of the men in white.

  15. Portsmouth 2-1 Cardiff

    Mad moment from the Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick.

    He thinks he has more time than he does as Callum Lang closes him down.

    He then runs out of the box and tries to head it, with the ball finding its way to Colby Bishop.

    He looks like should be doubling his account for the night but the Cardiff defence recovers well with Will Fish making a huge block to smother the shot.

  16. Leeds looking 'every bit champions'

    Watford 0-3 Leeds

    Adam Pope
    BBC Radio Leeds commentator

    Leeds are three up and looking every bit champions here now.

  17. SUBSTITUTION

    Norwich 0-1 Preston

    Warm applause from all four sides of Carrow Road as Duane Holmes is carried off. That didn't look great and Brad Potts comes on to take his place.

  18. Coventry 0-0 QPR

    Still goalless at the CBS Arena but Coventry continue to probe and a nice team move almost ends in the opening goal.

    Bobby Thomas plays a incisive pass in behind and Victor Torp gets on the end of it to cut the ball back for Jack Rudoni.

    But the midfielder can only find the hands of QPR keeper Paul Nardi.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Watford 0-3 Leeds

    Manor Solomon (35 mins)

    Watford players react after going down 3-0 to Leeds at Vicarage RoadPA Media

    Game over already?

    Tottenham loanee Manor Solomon comes in off the left flank and hits a shot that takes a big old deflection off Mattie Pollock and goes in the far corner.

    Leeds have scored at least two goals in each of their past four games against Watford, they've got three in 35 minutes so far tonight.

    The league leaders are in the mood and that isn't good news for Watford... Or the rest of the Championship.

  20. ouch!

    Norwich 0-1 Preston

    There's a worrying looking injury for Preston midfielder Duane Holmes here. The stretcher has been called for.
