A point apiece at the Riverside as second-placed Middlesbrough are held to a goalless draw with Morgan Whittaker's first-half shot against a post the closest to a goal.

Boro lost three defenders to injury - at what cost we await to find out.

A good draw for Blackburn, however, on the road.

Full-time at the Bet365 Stadium and it ends goalless between Stoke and Preston.

Not a lot of goalmouth action to tell you about in this one between two sides lacking a real cutting edge.

Thierry Small went closest for the visitors but his effort was well blocked one on one by Stoke keeper Viktor Johansson.

Stoke winger Sorba Thomas and Manchester City loanee Divin Mubama both went close for the Potters after the break but both sides will have to settle for a point each.

So close to a last-gasp equaliser for West Brom as Karlan Grant's drive grazed the crossbar!

But it's not to be for the Baggies, who have now lost four of their last five games.

Back to back wins for Bristol City.

Five minutes into additional time and Robert Bozenik is in the book for a late challenge on Preston's Odel Offiah.

It's honours even at Fratton Park, where Jimmy Dunne's header for the visitors cancels out Terry Devlin's opener.

Full-time and Watford heap more misery on Leicester and manager Marti Cifuentes with a rare away win!

Boos ring around the King Power Stadium and Leicester, who were a goal up, end on the losing side again.

Jordan James gave the home side an early lead when his deflected effort beat Egil Selvik.

Imran Louza created the leveller for the Hornets when he skinned his man before playing in Othmane Mamma who bent in a beauty with the outside of his right foot.

Watford played well throughout and grabbed their winner when Mattie Pollock powered home a header from a lovely Louza cross with Leicester keeper Jakub Stolarczyk grasping at thin air after coming out of his goal to meet it.

Halfway through a whopping eight extra points at Hillsborough.

Neither side settling for a point.

The tale of this game is about injuries.

Todd Cantwell limps off for Blackburn - that could be a significant blow for them if it is anything serious.

Full-time and interim Oxford boss Craig Short picks up all three points in his first match in charge!

Oxford started the match on the back foot but opened the scoring against the run of play when Tyler Goodrham's strike from 20 yards beat Gavin Bazunu.

The visitors were level before the break, however, when Taylor Harwood-Bellis headed home a Leo Scienza free-kick.

Oxford improved after half-time and after their keeper Jamie Cumming made a stunning save to keep Adam Armstrong out from close range, they stole all three points when Stanley Mills raced clear after a good one-two and fired a low shot across goal into the far corner for a vital three points.

United claim their fifth win out of their last six matches on Boxing Day and climb out of the relegation zone on goal difference at the expense of Southampton's local rivals, Portsmouth.

Norwich fans can breathe - and celebrate a third consecutive win at Carrow Road!

Jovon Makama's second-half goal was enough for the Canaries, who as it stands are just a point away from safety now.

After a couple of last gasp corners for Swansea, Coventry see them out.

A hard-fought three points for the Championship leaders thanks to Ephron Mason-Clark's goal, but Frank Lampard will know these are very, very valuable.

There will be seven minutes of additional time at the Bet365 Stadium.

In the first of them, Stoke defender Ben Gibson is booked for a cynical foul on the halfway line.

Ben Whiteman tries his luck from range but his left-footed strike is well kept out by Viktor Johansson in the Stoke goal.

The board has gone up and they are into three minutes of additional time at the CBS Arena.

Coventry are looking to see this one out.

Nice play from the Owls as they seek to go ahead for a third time.

Jamal Lowe plays a good one-two, but his attempted curler is straight at Ivor Pandur.

A fifth goal at Hillsborough will surely be decisive.

Stoke's Sorba Thomas whips a good effort towards the far corner but Preston keeper Daniel Iversen makes up the ground well to parry the ball to safety.

Better from the Potters.
