'Watford win five out of six at home'published at 14:30 British Summer Time
FT: Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Geoff Doyle
Watford commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio
The Vic is turning into a bit of a fortress as Watford win five out of six at home.
FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Image source, PA Media
It's over and Watford take all three points.
Edo Kayembe's penalty in the 71st minute after Ryan Hedges was adjudged to have handled the ball is the difference.
The Hornets extend their impressive unbeaten run on home soil to 10 games stretching back to last season, with five wins from six already in this campaign.
Blackburn stay sixth, while Tom Cleverley's side are up to seventh and level on points with Rovers ahead of this afternoon's games.
A big result in the promotion chase.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
A great bit of skill by Watford's Vakoun Bayo as he flicks the ball over Dominic Hyam who pulls him to the ground. Yellow card for Hyam.
FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:26 British Summer Time
Coventry 3-2 Luton
The Sky Blues complete a memorable comeback.
Despite dominating for long periods Coventry found themselves trailling 2-0 after a Carlton Morris penalty and a fine finish from Elijah Adebayo.
But Mark Robins threw on Jack Rudoni at half-time in an inspired change and goals from Ellis Simms, Victor Torp got the score back to 2-2.
Luton had Tom Holmes sent off in added time and moments later the comeback was complete as Haji Wright prodded the ball home.

Coventry 3-2 Luton
Just as Luton look to create a chance Coventry turn it over with Haji Wright and Ellis Simms breaking at pace before Simms shoots straight at Thomas Kaminski.
Time running out for Luton.
'I can't see Luton getting anything now'published at 14:25 British Summer Time
Coventry 3-2 Luton
Simon Oxley
Luton commentator on BBC Three Counties Radio
Rob Edwards cuts a desperately disappointed figure as Coventry clawed this one back.
This is a desperately disappointing defeat, I just can't see Luton getting anything now.

Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Blackburn are pushing forward in the last 90 seconds. Is there to be any late drama?
Revenge is sweetpublished at 14:24 British Summer Time
Coventry 3-2 Luton
Ged Scott
BBC Sport at the CBS Arena
Who really saw this coming at half-time?
In truth, Coventry City were playing well enough - but they have simply believed in themselves and their luck has turned.
They have waited 17 months to get their revenge on Luton. Now will this be the catalyst for Mark Robins and his men?
Postpublished at 14:24 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
This is frustrating for Blackburn... Danny Batth picks up the ball about 35 yards out and he's got a few options but chooses to have a go.
His effort flies into the travelling supporters behind the goal in the Vicarage Road stand and they're not overly impressed with that one.
FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Image source, Rex Features
Both of these teams remain unbeaten since 14 September after a largely uneventful 90 minutes at Ashton Gate.
It was a really emotional start to the game with a lovely tribute to Theo Manning, Bristol City boss Liam Manning's baby son who died earlier this month.
Liam Manning returned to the sideline for the first time since his son's death and he will have been proud with the diligence his side showed in limiting promotion-chasing Leeds.
Dan James saw a shot well saved by Max O'Leary in the first half and Willy Gnonto had a goal-bound effort cleared off the line by Max Vyner in the second.
The Whites move up to second.

Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Bristol City are 90 seconds away from snapping their six-match losing streak against Leeds.
'It's all about game management now for Watford'published at 14:22 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Derek Payne
Former Watford midfielder on BBC Three Counties Radio
It's all about game management now.
This is was Tom Cleverley will be saying now.
Keep the ball and run down the clock.
FIVE ADDED MINUTESpublished at 14:21 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Five minutes for Blackburn to rescue it, five minutes for Watford to hold on and close the gap to the play-off spots...
CLOSE!published at 14:21 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Blackburn work a chance from the free-kick as Moussa Sissoko's clearance falls straight to Tyrhys Dolan but he can only swipe it over from 12 yards.
That was a good opening. Will they have a better opportunity than that before time runs out?
GOAL: Coventry 3-2 Lutonpublished at 14:20 British Summer Time
Haji Wright (90+1 mins)
Wow! The comeback is complete!
Definitely a hint of controversy to this one.
Jack Rudoni whips a ball into the area and Ellis Simms gets up to flick the ball goalward.
Haji Wright and Joel Latibeaudiere are there - and the latter takes a swing at it having been offside from the header - before Thomas Kaminski makes the save but can only prod it back to Wright, who cleans up for a deserved goal.
It's a phenomenal fightback from Coventry, but should it have counted?
Latibeaudiere may not have made contact with the ball but it's hard to see how he's not involved in play there.
INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:20 British Summer Time
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Into three minutes of time added on.
Joe Rothwell blasts a shot about 15 yards over the cross bar for the away side.
INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time
Coventry 2-2 Luton
Luton are going to have to see out six added minutes with 10 players.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Festy Ebosele is booked for bringing down Yuki Ohashi as the forward looks to get in behind for Blackburn. Free-kick from about 35 yards from the left for Rovers...
RED CARD: Tom Holmes (Luton)published at 14:19 British Summer Time
Coventry 2-2 Luton
A second yellow card is followed by a red for Tom Holmes.
He clearly tugs the shirt of Haji Wright and gives Bobby Madley no option but to send him off.
