West Brom 0-0 Cardiff
Another goalless draw at The Hawthorns - the fourth of the season so far and that's just three goals scored on this ground in six games.
West Brom's run without a win extends to six games, while Cardiff are unbeaten in five.
A great point for the Bluebirds but the Baggies lose ground on the top spots again.

West Brom 0-0 Cardiff
Cardiff almost nick it at the end but Wilfried Kanga is denied a strike on goal by Mason Holgate's brilliant challenge.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder, who signed George Baldock for Sheffield United, laid a wreath in tribute before today's game
Sheffield United get back to winning ways on an emotional day in South Yorkshire.
The Blades paid tribute to former full-back George Baldock, who died earlier this month at the age of 31, before the game.
The home side end their two-game losing streak and make it five successive wins with clean sheets in front of their own fans.
They're up to fourth.

Derby 1-1 Hull City

Decent stuff at Pride Park with both teams forced to settle for a point.
The away side took the lead through Xavier Simons' second goal this week but Rams sub Dajaune Brown rescued a point with his first goal for the club.

Swansea 0-1 Millwall
And that is that - Millwall claim an unlikely away win through Casper de Norre's last-minute winner.
Neil Harris will be delighted.
Swansea, well they've failed to score now in five consecutive matches.

Sunderland 2-0 Oxford
Image source, Rex Features
Do not adjust your screens Sunderland fans, your side are FIVE points clear at the top of the Championship table.
Jobe Bellingham's first half strike and Wilson Isidor's belting goal after the break give the Black Cats another three points in this stunning start to the campaign.

Plymouth 3-3 Preston
Ryan Dickson
Former Plymouth and Southampton defender on BBC Radio Devon
Wow.
How quickly a game of football can change.
Certainly been a game of a lot of opportunities, more for Preston but it's been a great game to watch.
GOAL: Plymouth 3-3 Prestonpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 26 October
Morgan Whittaker (90+2 mins)
UNBELIEVABLE!!!! PLYMOUTH HAVE DONE IT!!!
From 3-0 down, Wayne Rooney's side have scored a dramatic late equaliser through Morgan Whittaker!
Mustapha Bundu lays it off to Whittaker and he fires past Freddie Woodman.
Gut-wrenching for Preston, delirium for Argyle.
'Plymouth knocking on the door'published at 16:50 British Summer Time 26 October
Plymouth 2-3 Preston
Ryan Dickson
Former Plymouth and Southampton defender on BBC Radio Devon
Plymouth are knocking on the door.
It's certainly has been a lot better.
Can see a goal coming.
CLOSE!published at 16:50 British Summer Time 26 October
West Brom 0-0 Cardiff
Big chance for Cardiff as a defensive mix up sees West Brom keeper Alex Palmer stranded off his line...
But Chris Willock can only send his lobbed effort over the bar.
Then at the other end Josh Maja sees his header saved by Jak Alnwick from Darnell Furlong's cross.
GOAL: Swansea 0-1 Millwallpublished at 16:49 British Summer Time 26 October
Casper de Norre (90 mins)
There's the sucker punch!
Swansea came so close but it looks like Millwall are going to come away with all three points with Casper de Norre's first goal of the season.
Femi Azeez picks the ball up in acres of space and runs at the Swansea defence.
He squares the ball to De Norre who finishes off the move to probably wrap up all three points in Wales.

Derby 1-1 Hull City
Dajaune Brown's cameo ends early as he's forced off with a knock.
The teenager scored his first goal for Derby after coming on as a second-half sub.
We're into seven minutes of time added on in this one. Certainly time for some late drama...
CLOSE!published at 16:48 British Summer Time 26 October
Swansea 0-0 Millwall
Was this the moment for Swansea?
Matt Grimes puts the ball into the Millwall area and substitute Florian Bianchini is right there.
The Frenchman is just yards out but puts his header wide of the target.
Two minutes later and he's in again but Lukas Jensen - bravo.
The Millwall keeper comes out and smothers the shot and stays up to save the follow-up from Joe Allen.
The Lions will owe a lot to Jensen if they can hold on to this clean sheet after that.

West Brom 0-0 Cardiff
West Brom's lack of goals isn't through lack of trying today.
The Baggies have had 16 shots to Cardiff's four and 63% of the possession. But still we remain goalless heading towards stoppage time.
Postpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 26 October
Sheff Utd 2-0 Stoke
Jamie Shackleton goes close to his first goal for Sheffield United since joining from Leeds in the summer but Viktor Johansson in the Stoke goal is equal to it.
Postpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 26 October
Plymouth 2-3 Preston
What a game this has been at Home Park. One thing about Plymouth is that their games are rarely short of drama.
A reminder that Preston threw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2 at home to Norwich in midweek.
Paul Heckingbottom will be furious if they don't see this out having been so comfortable about 35 minutes ago.

Plymouth 2-3 Preston
Ryan Dickson
Former Plymouth and Southampton defender on BBC Radio Devon
Plymouth are back in it and it'll be an interesting end to the game.
Andre Gray deserved that.
Argyle need somebody to make another spark.
Postpublished at 16:42 British Summer Time 26 October
That second Plymouth goal means the scores from the seven Championship games that started at 15:00 BST currently read:
Games being played at Home Park - Five goals
Other six matches combined - Six goals

Derby 1-1 Hull City
Moving into the final five minutes at Pride Park.
Can either side find a late winner?
GOAL: Plymouth 2-3 Prestonpublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 26 October
Andre Gray (82 mins)
Wow! Game on!
Andre Gray with a bullet header from Bali Mumba's cross to make this one very exciting indeed.
Surely Plymouth can't bring this back having trailed 3-0? Can they?
