DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Norwich 2-1 Stoke
Image source, Rex Features
Chances raining down at Carrow Road.
Lewis Baker has the ball in the back of the Norwich net for a second time, but his effort is ruled out for offside.
Then down at the other end, Michael Rose turns the ball against his own post.
Pardon the cliche, but the next goal is going to be huge.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Portsmouth 2-0 QPR
It is a double change for Portsmouth.
Zak Swanson and Isaac Hayden have come off for Marlon Pack and Terry Devlin.

Coventry 2-0 Preston
Clive Eakin
BBC CWR Sport
The Sky Blues are looking for a third and they seem to be threatening.
Also, it's been a long time since we've been able to say Coventry are leading Preston.
*The last time Coventry beat Preston in the league was in September 2007, when Iain Dowie was in charge!

Norwich 2-1 Stoke
Now it's Norwich's turn to threaten as they go close to a third.
Lucien Mahovo goes looking for his first goal for the Canaries, but Stoke keeper Viktor Johansson gets fingertips to his angled drive, pushing it past his far post.
GOAL: Swansea 3-0 Blackburnpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Liam Cullen (62 mins)
Alan Sheehan's day just got better!
Liam Cullen scores his 11th of the season and the Swans are soaring now!
Myles Peart-Harris adds an assist to his earlier goal as he tees up his side's top scorer to confidently sweep home.
Caretaker Sheehan surely can't have hoped for better!
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Swansea 2-0 Blackburn
Bit of a blotch on Swansea caretaker Alan Sheehan's day as he's shown a yellow card for saying something out of turn.

Norwich 2-1 Stoke
Stoke have responded well since falling behind and carved out a couple of semi-chances.
Tatsuki Seko has a dig from 30 yards, but his shot is claimed at the second attempt by Norwich keeper Angus Gunn.
A clearance falls to Ben Pearson on the edge of the area and the midfielder volleys just over the bar.
Worth noting that Seko is into his 50th appearance of a season which started 12 months ago with J-League side Kawasaki Frontale. Busy, busy.

Coventry 2-0 Preston
The home side go in search of a third goal that would surely wrap this one up.
Freddie Woodman makes a decent stop from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto before Ephron Mason-Clark smashes the rebound over the crossbar.
Postpublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Portsmouth 2-0 QPR
Portsmouth's Isaac Hayden looks okay to continue for now.
The last thing the home side would need is more injuries.

The play-off race is as tight as ever in the live Championship table.
Still 30 minutes or so left for it all to change...

Swansea 2-0 Blackburn
Triple change for the away side.
Augustus Kargbo, Emmanuel Dennis and John Buckley are all on as Rovers try and rescue something from this.
Postpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
West Brom 1-0 Oxford
Having rarely threatened in the first half, Gary Rowett's Oxford have come out with a little more intent.
Przemyslaw Platcheta cuts inside and has a pop, but it's high and wide.
At the other end, Adam Armstrong sends a free-kick just over the bar.
As it stands...published at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Portsmouth 2-0 QPR, Swansea 2-0 Blackburn
So far VERY good afternoons for both Portsmouth and Swansea.
Big gaps opening between them and the drop zone...

Portsmouth 2-0 QPR
More injury worries for Portsmouth, Isaac Hayden looks to be in some pain and he receives some treatment.
Marlon Pack is warming up on the sidelines.
GOAL: Portsmouth 2-0 QPRpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Matt Ritchie (51 mins)
Wow, what a start to the second half by Portsmouth!
Josh Murphy in the space of minutes goes from scorer to creator as he plays in Matt Ritchie who then fires the ball into the roof of the net.
Postpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Swansea 2-0 Blackburn
Swansea had lost seven of their past nine in the league before today, a run that cost Luke Williams his job.
Today is the first time they've scored twice in a game since 29 December, the game before that wretched run began.
'Still time left for Oxford'published at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
West Brom 1-0 Oxford
Nathan Cooper
BBC Radio Oxford commentator
As it stands Oxford will be dropping several places in the Championship table.
But there's still half an hour left.
Plenty could happen.
GOAL: Norwich 2-1 Stokepublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Josh Sargent (48 mins)
The Norwich response is swift.
Having been pegged back in stoppage-time, Josh Sargent restores the lead just three minutes into the second half.
The hosts take advantage of a mistake at the back from Stoke after Borja Sainz drove into the box.
Crnac is fouled trying to punish it but Sargent turns his marker and puts a finish into the bottom left corner. That's six in six for the American
GOAL: Portsmouth 1-0 QPRpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Josh Murphy (48 mins)
What a strike!
And it is that man Josh Murphy who scores a big goal for Portsmouth.
He takes aim from distance and curls an effort into the bottom-right hand corner.
Postpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February
Norwich 1-1 Stoke
Norwich boss Johannes Hoff Thorup was probably not overly chuffed as he gave his half-time team-talk and has made one change for the second half.
Goalscorer Lewis Dobbin makes away for fellow forward Ante Crnac in a like for like change.
