Watford 1-0 Blackburn
It's been a game of very few chances at Vicarage Road in truth.
Watford have had just one shot on target all, which was Edo Kayembe's goal from the penalty spot.
Blackburn with only two efforts on target.

David (13:52) - look on the bright side, those who don't make it up [to the PL] can all look forward to a trip to Old Trafford.

Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Watford are trying to kill this one off. Kwadwo Baah wins the ball back deep inside Blackburn territory and bursts down the wing.
He fires over the bar from a tight angle. Perhaps the pass would've been the better option but it's a signal of intent going into the last 10 minutes.

Coventry 2-2 Luton
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR
The emphasis is on defending.
Coventry gave away two goals in the first half and can't afford to do that again.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time
Coventry 2-2 Luton
Coventry captain Ben Sheaf goes into the book for a late as we enter the last 10 minutes.
Luton look tired. A winning goal would be hugely valuable for either of these sides.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
A big triple change by John Eustace as he sends on Joe Rankin-Costello, Arnor Sigurdsson and John Buckley for Blackburn.
Andi Weimann, Ryan Hedges and Lewis Travis make way.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:08 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Brenden Aaronson comes in on to his right and has a go from 20 yards that Bristol City keeper Max O'Leary parries away.
The home side make their final two subs, Fally Mayulu and Elijah Morrison enter the action.
Postpublished at 14:08 British Summer Time
Coventry 2-2 Luton
Elijah Adebayo and Tom Krauß are off for Liam Walsh and Cauley Woodrow for the visitors.
Coventry are on the attack again and the Hatters are going to have to hang on here.
'Kayembe has had a good game'published at 14:06 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Derek Payne
Former Watford midfielder on BBC Three Counties Radio
Never in doubt.
It's a great penalty, he's not side footed but he's kind of got the laces on it.
Edo Kayembe has had a good game and that's not just because he's scored.
Postpublished at 14:06 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
It hasn’t been a classic but Watford are on course to extend their unbeaten run at Vicarage Road to 10 games, stretching back to last season.
Blackburn are winless on the road this season and it's going to take something huge to change that in the last 15 minutes plus stoppages.
GOAL: Coventry 2-2 Lutonpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time
Victor Torp (76 mins)

What a strike!
Victor Torp bends a beautiful effort in off the post and Coventry have fought back from two goals back to level this game.
Ben Sheaf spots the substitute next to him on the edge of the box and Torp let's fly first time.
Now can they push for the winner?
Postpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Blackburn were complaining about the handball decision in the aftermath of all that but Ryan Hedges does have his arm well above his head as it's headed into him by Vakoun Bayo.
You can certainly see why the ref has given it but John Eustace will still feel it's harsh, no doubt.
Postpublished at 14:03 British Summer Time
Coventry 1-2 Luton
Coventry win their 13th corner and Josh Eccles heads over at the near post.
The hosts have all the ball but still trailling.
Postpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Mateo Joseph should score with his first touch!
Sam Byram clips in a cross to the near post and the Spaniard gets there first but, tightly marked, he can only head over the bar from inside the six-yard box.
GOAL: Watford 1-0 Blackburnpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time
Edo Kayembe pen (71 mins)
Edo Kayembe buries it and Watford are in front!
Aynsley Pears dives to his right and Kayembe slots it the other way into the bottom corner.
That goal puts the Hornets level on points with Blackburn as things stand.

Coventry 1-2 Luton
Jack Rudoni has made a big impact on this game.
His crosses and set pieces are a constant threat as he sends another dangerous cross into the box but can't find a Coventry head.
Just under 20 minutes left and Coventry applying all the pressure.
'Luton are blowing a little bit'published at 14:00 British Summer Time
Coventry 1-2 Luton
Simon Oxley
Luton commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio
Coventry are on top here.
Luton look like they are suffering after Wednesday night's excursions against Sunderland.
They are blowing a little bit and are defending for all their worth.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:00 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Leeds make their first changes of the afternoon.
Joel Piroe and Dan James make way for Mateo Joseph and Manor Soloman.
PENALTY TO WATFORDpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time
Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Now then!
A cross comes in and loops up into the air and Vakoun Bayo heads the ball onto the outstretched arm of Ryan Hedges who had it held up above his head.
Handball and the ref points to the spot. Hedges is booked for the foul and a big chance for Watford to take the lead.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time
Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Blackburn's Todd Cantwell picks up a booking for shoving into Giorgi Chakvetadze as Watford try to break away.
Not sure if that was for the challenge or the afters between the pair but either way, it's a yellow.
