    Southampton 2-1 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday might be propping up the table with negative points but this team never go down without a fight.

    They're almost in for the equaliser and it's Bailey Cadamarteri who finds space to get the shot away and draw a strong stop from Gavin Bazunu.

  2. CLOSE!published at 15:35 GMT 8 November 2025

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    A glimpse of goal for the hosts as the tricky Sorba Thomas whips in a cross from the left which Million Manhoef manages to meet on the slide after nipping infront of his marker, only for the ball to ricochet off him and away from target under pressure from Jay Dasilva.

    Thomas has also now gone into the book in a feisty affair after a confrontation with Tatsuhiro Sakamoto.

    A promising start for Norwich, it happens regularly but they don't convert that into goals when on top!

    This has been a game of few clear-cut chances, but it is Ipswich who look the more menacing side.

    Swansea, so far at least, are struggling for any fluency in possession.

    For the moment, it is the sizeable contingent of away fans who are enjoying their afternoon more.

    It is getting a bit physical here, it is what you would expect from two teams battling it out at the top of the table.

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    Arthur Okonkwo produces a fine save to deny James Bree from giving the Addicks the lead.

    Both sides' defences holding firm so far.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:32 GMT 8 November 2025

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    Million Manhoef whips in a teasing cross into the Sky Blues box but Carl Rushworth comes off his line to get a touch on the ball before Ben Wilmot can meet it with his head and the Potters have to settle for a corner.

    Coventry forward Haji Wright has also had his name taken for a cynical pull back on Bae Junho.

  8. 'End-to-end football'published at 15:31 GMT 8 November 2025

    Norwich 0-0 Leicester

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin

    Asmir Begovic does really well to turn the ball away from trickling into the back of the net, good save.

    It is real end-to-end stuff here at Carrow Road.

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-1 Birminghampublished at 15:31 GMT 8 November 2025

    Demarai Gray (29 mins)

    All-square and the home side are not happy!

    The visitors level through Demarai Gray's finish after a corner.

    Boro think the Jamaica international fouled his man before shooting but the referee isn't interested.

    Well then...

    Those Sheffield Wednesday fans across from me just went wild when that one went in, that was a great strike by Harry Amass.

    They have been singing ever since we got underway and certainly enjoyed that one, what a game this is shaping up to be!

    Norwich 0-0 Leicester

    Jovon Makama bursts through but Asmir Begovic in the Leicester goal is equal to his effort.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:29 GMT 8 November 2025

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham

    The home side are forced into an early alteration.

    Skipper and goalscorer Dael Fry can't carry on and Sammy Silvera is on in his place.

    That's a blow for Boro.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:29 GMT 8 November 2025

    West Brom 0-0 Oxford United

    A trademark long-range blast from Cameron Brannagan is turned behind for a corner by Albion keeper Josh Griffiths as Oxford continue to grow into the game at The Hawthorns.

    Patson Daka heads wide for the Foxes.

    The Zambian striker hasn't scored since 3 December last year.

    Harry Amass (25 min)

    The Owls hit back and it's a great strike from Man Utd loanee Harry Amass.

    The 18-year-old finds space and smashes the ball with his left peg from distance.

    Gavin Bazunu can't keep it out.

    Game on!

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:27 GMT 8 November 2025

    Big save from Lawrence Vigouroux to deny George Hirst after Zan Vipotnik was robbed in midfield allowing Jack Clarke to find Hirst to get a shot away.

    You can see this crowd is desperate for something, but it has been a good, promising start from Norwich.

    Demarai Gray's shot for the away side is well blocked by Boro defender Luke Ayling.

  19. CLOSE!published at 15:24 GMT 8 November 2025

    West Brom 0-0 Oxford United

    Oxford are here to play too.

    Przemyslaw Placheta has a pop from an angle but flashes a low effort past Josh Griffiths' upright.

    Better from the yellows in the past few minutes.

  20. Postpublished at 15:24 GMT 8 November 2025

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    Still goalless at the SToK Cae Ras and Max Cleworth has come closest for the hosts so far, forcing Addicks keeper Thomas Kaminski to tip the ball over his net.
