Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Watford make a double change and Tom Cleverley is throwing on Rocco Vata and Ken Sema.
Off come Yasser Larouci and Mattie Pollock.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:57 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Jayden Bogle is in the book for the away side for a clip on Sinclair Armstrong.
That's the Leeds full-back's fifth yellow of the season and he'll have a week off next Saturday.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:57 British Summer Time
Coventry 1-2 Luton
Victor Torp is on in place of Tatsuhiro Sakomoto for the hosts, while Marvelous Nakamba finally comes on for Tahith Chong for Luton, having not been wearing his shirt when Rob Edwards wanted to send him on before.

Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Just under 25 minutes to go in this one at Ashton Gate.
Both of these sides have been involved in one 0-0 draw apiece so far this campaign...
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time
Coventry 1-2 Luton
Rob Edwards has responded to the goal by taking off the opening goal scorer Carlton Morris and introducing Jacob Brown.
And play is stopped as there's a bit of a confrontation between Elijah Adebayo and Luis Binks.

Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Blackburn are just starting to crank up the pressure a notch.
They win a corner on the right and Todd Cantwell fires it deep to the back stick but Watford can clear.
Rovers are playing a lot of the game in the Watford half in the last couple of minutes, though.

Do we have lift-off for Coventry at last?
It certainly seemed like the stadium roof might - after that well-taken Ellis Simms near-post header.
There's still plenty of time to get at least an equaliser - and the majority of the 26,409 here still appear to believe they can.
Excepting the 1,737 away fans here from Bedfordshire, the CBS Arena is suddenly bouncing again.

About a quarter of the season gone in the Championship and I haven't seen a single sign that any of the clubs might survive in the Premier League.

Wow, way to bring us down, David... is he right though? Let us know, folks...

Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Ao Tanaka makes a yard for a shot 25 yards out and sees it deflect wide for another corner for the Whites.
Sam Byram meets the ball in full-on but can only send it over the bar.
Postpublished at 13:52 British Summer Time
Coventry 1-2 Luton
The fans are getting right behind their team now and those Coventry players can feel it.
They move the ball forward at such pace.
This time it's Haji Wright cutting in from the right-hand side and striking at goal but Thomas Kaminski makes the save low at his near post.
Luton are going to need to ride this out for a while.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:51 British Summer Time
Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Blackburn make a change as John Eustace introduces top scorer Yuki Ohashi in place of Makhtar Gueye.
'Coventry should have the momentum now'published at 13:51 British Summer Time
Coventry 1-2 Luton
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR
Coventry know that they are going to create chances.
They've done the first thing and get back into the game.
They should have the momentum now.
Haji Wright has impressed me today.
CLOSE!published at 13:50 British Summer Time
Watford 0-0 Blackburn
This is a good chance for Blackburn's Andi Weimann as he gets in on the left-hand side.
Daniel Bachmann comes out to close him down and Weimann lifts it over the keeper but can't get enough dip on it and it lands on the top of the net.
The best chance of the half so far.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 13:49 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Just shy of the hour mark, the home side go to their bench and make a double change.
Sinclair Armstrong and West Ham loanee George Earthy are on and Nahki Wells and Marcus McGuane are off.
The hosts side have two more subs left, having been forced into a change in the first half.
GOAL: Coventry 1-2 Lutonpublished at 13:48 British Summer Time
Ellis Simms (59 mins)
Great header!
I said Coventry were going to have to start winning the aerial battle and that is exactly what Ellis Simms does.
The whipped corner from substitute Jack Rudoni is excellent and Simms jumps up at the near post to glance the header past Thomas Kaminski.
Game on.
Postpublished at 13:48 British Summer Time
Coventry 0-2 Luton
A lovely run from Haji Wright ends with a powerful left-foot shot from the edge of the area.
A good block from Daiki Hashioka diverts it behind for a corner.
Thomas Kaminski tips it over the bar for another.

SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:47 British Summer Time
Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Watford boss Tom Cleverley is rolling the dice first. Tom Ince is off and Vakoun Bayo is on to try and mix things up at the top end of the pitch.
This game certainly needs a fresh injection of energy.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:46 British Summer Time
Watford 0-0 Blackburn
Watford pick up their third yellow in six minutes and their fourth of the game after Kwadwo Baah makes a foul and then boots the ball away in frustration.
We all know that's a booking these days for delaying a restart...
Postpublished at 13:45 British Summer Time
Coventry 0-2 Luton
Ben Sheaf tries to bend one from distance for the hosts but Thomas Kaminski gets down to make a comfortable save.
Another chance to add to the list as Oliver Dovin deals with a Luton corner at the other end.
Postpublished at 13:45 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Bristol City win a corner down their right and they try and play a low one in for Nahki Wells to shoot.
The Bermudan gets to the ball first but under pressure crashes his shot high and wide.
