GREAT SAVE!published at 20:11 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Derby 1-0 Coventry

Coventry go straight up the other end with Ellis Simms after conceding and he forces Jacob Zetterstrom into a good save at the near post.
'The goalkeeper has to be more positive'published at 20:11 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Derby 1-0 Coventry
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR

The goalkeeper has to be positive there, it's terrible from him.
The defence set up a line, but Matthew Clarke managed to beat it and score at the near post.

Middlesbrough 1-0 QPR

Some good stuff from Boro who go in search for a second.
Kelechi Iheanacho and Finn Azaz link up well with Azaz attempting a low strike which is held by Paul Nardi.
GOAL: Burnley 1-1 West Brompublished at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Zian Flemming (23 mins)

Oh no, Joe Wildsmith.
Jaidon Anthony unleashes a shot from the edge of the box, Albion keeper Wildsmith dives to his left, not needing to stretch particularly far, but makes a hash of his save, spilling the ball tamely into the path of the lurking Zian Flemming who had followed it in, wisely, as it turns out.
Horror show for the visitors and the hosts are back on terms.

Cardiff 0-0 Luton

As you might expect, this one is nervy, with so much at stake, but we have finally had some goalmouth action.
Dimitris Goutas has poked wide for the hosts before Luton's Chris Makosso headed over the bar at the other end and now Yousef Salech has pinged over the Hatters bar from 20 yards.
GOAL: Derby 1-0 Coventrypublished at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Matt Clarke (23 mins)

Derby make the breakthrough and this could be a massive goal in the relegation scrap!
The Rams win a free-kick on the right and Marcus Harness fizzes in a delightful ball to the back stick.
It bounces once and the onrushing Matt Clarke heads into the ground to send it beyond Oliver Dovin.
The Championship's form team are behind!
YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Sunderland 0-0 Preston

An early yellow card at the Stadium of Light as Preston's Trai Hume goes into the referee's notebook for a late challenge on Brad Potts.
GOAL: Burnley 0-1 West Brompublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
John Swift (20 mins)

What a goal. An away goal. At Turf Moor.
John Swift won the free-kick on the edge of the box in the first place, and he's managed to sneak it back three or four yards beyond the D before taking it himself.
He produces a stunning curling, powerful effort over the wall and into the top-corner leaving James Trafford flat-footed.
A peach. The first goal Burnley have conceded at Turf Moor since 21 December and just the fifth all season at home. Now 11 in total for the campaign.
Postpublished at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Sheff Utd 0-0 Bristol City

The first real attack of promise goes the way of Sheffield United as Jesurun Rak-Sakyi feeds Femi Seriki on the right and his cross to the near post almost makes it's way to Callum O'Hare but the Robins backline do well to intercept and clear the danger.
'Burnley need to be patient'published at 20:04 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Burnley 0-0 West Brom
David Unsworth
Former Burnley and Everton defender on BBC Radio Lancashire

It looks like West Brom have come to frustrate tonight.
It's important for the fans to stay with the team.
Burnley have got to be patient and wait for the opportunity to come.

Derby 0-0 Coventry

Derby are certainly deploying the long throw tactic tonight. They launch another one in from the right through Ryan Nyambe but Coventry are able to deal with the threat.
Postpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Sunderland 0-0 Preston

Good play from Trai Hume and Eliezer Mayenda down the right before Mayenda puts in a cross for Tom Watson who heads wide.
First chance of the game for Sunderland.
GOAL: Norwich 1-0 Sheff Wedpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Borja Sainz (16 mins)

He's back!
That's a first goal in 14 games for the little Spaniard, and what a goal. Callum Doyle threads a pass forward, Anuis Slimane produces a gorgeous first-time touch into the box and Borja Sainz strides forward before slotting coolly past James Beadle and into the far corner.
His first goal since November.
Postpublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Burnley 0-0 West Brom

Zian Flemming must have velcro on his boots.
The Dutchman produces an imperious touch to kill a long ball forward from James Trafford stone dead under his studs with his back to goal before laying off to Marcus Edwards who goes to ground midway through a slaloming run towards the box, though all he gets from referee Gavin Ward is a shake of the head.
KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Sheff Utd 0-0 Bristol City

We're also under way at Bramall Lane in tonight's only 20:00 GMT kick-off.
'A good start for Baggies'published at 19:59 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Burnley 0-0 West Brom
Tony Brown
West Brom's all-time record scorer on BBC Radio WM

I think it's been a decent start for Baggies.
They haven't allowed any chances for Burnley yet.
It's an interesting back three for Albion, they haven't really played with each other so we will see how they get on.
Postpublished at 19:59 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Burnley 0-0 West Brom

Positive stuff from West Brom with Alex Mowatt whipping in a cross from the right flank after a long-throw was cleared, with Karlan Grant pulling away beyond the back-post to meet it with a header, only for James Trafford to drop to his left to stop his angled effort low down.
GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-0 QPRpublished at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Tommy Conway (11 mins)

Middlesbrough break the deadlock at the Riverside.
Hayden Hackney wins the ball on the left before finding Finn Azaz. He plays it across goal for Tommy Conway to score from close range.

Derby 0-0 Coventry

The atmosphere at Pride Park has gone a little flat since the opening few minutes. Coventry are completely dominating possession so far.
The Sky Blues win another corner, this time on the left, and it's played short by Josh Eccles to Victor Torp on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked.
Postpublished at 19:57 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March
Sunderland 0-0 Preston

Preston create the first opportunity at the Stadium of Light.
Brad Potts powers into the Sunderland box before seeing an effort blocked by Luke O'Nien.
It falls to Sam Greenwood who puts the follow-up over the bar.
A positive start from the visitors.
