Summary

  1. Postpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Luton 0-0 Norwich

    Bright play from Norwich, a nice passing move sees Borja Sainz's shot saved for another Norwich corner.

    Again nothing from it, Norwich could learn a bit from Arsenal's corner specialist coach, they'll want to convert a chance soon before they live to regret their wastefulness.

  2. RED CARDpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Cardiff 1-1 Coventry

    Is it all falling apart for Cardiff?

    Callum Robinson has been sent off! What a disastrous start to the second half. He elbowed Bobby Thomas.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Leeds 0-0 Blackburn

    Now, can Leeds find the breakthrough that could send them five points clear at the top of the Championship?

    Daniel Farke has sent on Max Wober in place of Sam Byram at half-time - he was forced to bring the Austrian on early a few weeks ago and guess what, he scored and they won.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Derby

    Not often you see this, a whole raft of changes at the break.

    Josh Windass and Gabriel Otegbayo are on for the home side in place of Nathaniel Chalobah and Marvin Johnson.

    While Paul Warne has made a triple substitution for Derby - Callum Elder, Liam Thompson and Dajaune Brown all on for Sonny Bradley, Marcus Harness and Kayden Jackson.

    Both managers clearly not happy with what they've seen so far.

  5. CLOSE!published at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Portsmouth 2-0 Swansea

    The Swans have started this half well, Eom Ji-Sung gets into a one-on-one situation but the Portsmouth keeper comes out on top to deny him.

    They sense a goal is coming.

    That's it for the first half. The home side lead through Barry Bannan's eighth-minute goal and the Rams will go in at the break wondering how they're behind.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Luton 0-0 Norwich

    Two sides struggling of late, and that has shown, neither being ruthless enough in front of goal.

    Norwich dominated early proceedings but Luton have come back into it, both sides having to make a substitution each already too.

  13. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Derby

    How are Derby behind still?

    The visitors have had the better chances in this first half and this one is the best of the lot, as the ball comes back in for the second phase from a corner, catches a deflection, and Jerry Yates' volley crashes back off the post.

    It has been comfortable possession for the majority if the half. But Stoke have had two or three moments on the 18-yard box, where if it had dropped Burnley could have been in trouble.

    Stoke are still waiting for that one clear-cut chance. They have been direct but with less possession.

    There has been no real chances from either side.

  16. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Portsmouth 2-0 Swansea

    Portsmouth have been the better side in that first 45 minutes, they found the opening goal after a brilliant cross from Zak Swanson, which found Josh Murphy in the middle.

    The second came from a defensive error from the away side which allowed Paddy Lane to pass the ball into the net.

    Swansea will need to find some more quality in the second-half.

    It was too easy for the cross to come in for Luton. Norwich need to step up and get on the front foot.

    They need to because the crowd are starting to get on top of Norwich as well now.

  19. Postpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Luton 0-0 Norwich

    A really good run from Ante Crnac is not helped by a pass provided just behind him, he does manage to get a shot away, earning his side a third corner of the half which again comes to nothing, this time Shane Duffy giving away a foul to lose possession.

  20. Postpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    After a subdued start to this game, Stoke with a couple of late chances as we approach half time.

    First Tom Cannon draws a save from Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, before Jaidon Anthony sends an effort well wide of the former Manchester City stopper's goal.
