It's been a tough few months for Stoke City. They have picked up just one league win in their past 10 games (D4 L5).

Ipswich know they need to get the job done tonight to keep their automatic promotion hopes in their own hands with the Tractor Boys still to play second-placed Middlesbrough again this season.

A very lucky escape for Arthur Okonkwo there.

The Wrexham goalkeeper rose to punch a corner clear, but he failed to make proper contact with the ball, and it goes behind.

Stoke boss Mark Robins is without 12 senior players tonight and has made five changes from the 2-0 loss at Swansea.

Junior Tchamadeu, Maksym Talovierov, Million Manhoef, Tomas Rigo and Milan Smit start. Sorba Thomas is suspended after his red card at the weekend, Ben Wilmot is injured and Ben Pearson is out with illness.

Two changes for Ipswich from the 1-1 draw with Leicester as Jack Taylor and Jack Clarke are in for Dan Neil and Marcelino Nunez, who misses out altogether with a hamstring injury.

It's been a low key start to proceedings here at Stok Cae Ras.

Neither side has managed a shot on target, and both have had a man yellow carded.

Tigers striker Oli McBurnie and Wrexham's number nine Sam Smith have both been cautioned by Stephen Martin.

We're under way in our 20:00 GMT kick-off between Stoke and Ipswich.

This hasn't been a bad start by Swansea at Fratton Park. Looking the better side in this first 10 minutes, which considering their away struggles this season, will please Vitor Matos.

Only Sheffield Wednesday (7) and West Brom (12) have picked up fewer points than Swansea away from home (14). That being said, all three of the Swans’ wins on the road have come against sides in the bottom six.

Another chance for the Hornets.

Luca Kjerrumgaard's low effort flies past the post after good wing play from Giorgi Chakvetadze down the left.

We're under the cosh.

We're not getting tight enough, we can't get our shape right defensively and we're leaving ourselves with a lot of defending to do.

We can't keep the ball when we get the chance, our midfield three aren't giving us anywhere near enough.

We've just got to get through this period, Derby just need that time on the ball to settle down.

10 minutes aren't on the clock yet but both goalkeepers are being put to work.

This time it's Robins keeper Radek Vitek who is needing his fingertips to deny Stephy Mavididi's piercing strike.

Zan Vipotnik causing problems for Pompey again. He meets a cross into the box but can only divert his powerful header over the bar.

The hosts cannot afford to keep giving up opportunities to a striker in the form Vipotnik has been in this season - he has 17 goals in 34 games so far.

Edo Kayembe sees his thunderous volley come back off the Wednesday upright as the away side go in search of an opener.

First shot of the night at Fratton Park and it falls to the man Swansea would want it to in Championship top goalscorer Zan Vipotnik.

Josh Key pulls it back to the Slovenian about 16 yards out but he blazes over the bar with a first time finish.

It's been a lively start at the King Power.

First Leicester's Luke Thomas sent his shot awry from a corner before the ball went up the other end for Sam Morsy to power in an effort.

It's on target but Foxes stopper Jakub Stolarczyk is alert to tip it out of harm's way.

You have to go back to 21 April of last year for Sheffield Wednesday's last home win in the league.

If they fail to win tonight they will set a Football League record for going 19 successive home games in a season without a victory.

I like the setup of this side, we've got a good defence out there, it's whether we can put it into practice.

We've just got to see some consistency with this team.

Millwall boss Alex Neil makes a double change for tonight's show under the lights.

Mihailo Ivanovic and Barry Bannan are in as Macaulay Langstaff and Tommy Watson rotate to the bench.

David Ozoh is the only Derby County change with Bobby Clark amongst the substitutes.

Swansea fans won’t want to be reminded of what happened the last time they visited Fratton Park on New Year’s Day last season. Portsmouth thrashed the Swans 4-0 that day. John Mousinho will certainly be hoping for a repeat this evening.

Ryan Reynolds is in the house once again tonight.

He was here alongside fellow Wrexham co-chairman Rob Mac for Saturday's FA Cup fifth round thriller with Chelsea.

The duo are also set to be in attendance for Friday night's league fixture against Swansea City.

A triple change for Leicester City will see Hamza Choudhury, Jordan James and Jordan Ayew take to the field.

Ricardo Pereira, Harry Winks and Patson Daka make the bench.

Though Bristol City see an even bigger amendment to their starting XI.

Sam Morsy, Max Bird, Ross McCrorie and Scott Twine are all in from the off to make up the four changes.

Adam Randell missed out after his red card against Coventry but Mark Sykes, Cam Pring and Sinclair Armstrong can all be found on the bench.
