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 26 October
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 26 October
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 26 October
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 26 October
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 26 October
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 26 October
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 26 October
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 26 October
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.
'Solomon is not at the races today'published at 14:19 British Summer Time 26 October
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Jon Newsome
Former Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds
Manor Solomon is not at the races today.
He's just not affected the game since he's come on.
Postpublished at 14:18 British Summer Time 26 October
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Blackburn with their first real effort for some time. They play a short corner and it's floated to the back stick for Danny Batth who can only head well wide.
It's just not quite happening for Rovers. Can they find a late leveller?
Postpublished at 14:18 British Summer Time 26 October
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Last two minutes plus time added on to go.
A winner for the away side would see them go top of the table.
Bristol City are yet to have a shot on target. I'm not sure they've had a shot of any sort this half actually.
CLOSE!published at 14:17 British Summer Time 26 October
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Rocco Vata with another decent effort as he chests it down and fires on the half-volley from just outside the box but it goes wide.
Vata has looked lively since coming on.
Postpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 26 October
Coventry 2-2 Luton
Chance for Luton out of nowhere!
A hopeful ball forward comes to Cauley Woodrow after Jacob Brown wins the header.
The substitute shapes to shoot but Oliver Dovin does enough to smother the effort, with Brown left in a heap.
Two minutes of the 90 remaining.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:16 British Summer Time 26 October
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
A change apiece here. Kwadwo Baah comes off for Watford and is replaced by Ryan Andrews.
Tyrhys Dolan is on for Blackburn as Sondre Tronstad departs.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:15 British Summer Time 26 October
Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Bristol City teenager Elijah Morrison is in the book for a foul on Jayden Bogle. Looks a little harsh to me.
Leeds chuck on striker and BBC podcaster Patrick Bamford for the closing minutes as they chase a winner.
Willy Gnonto is off.
CLOSE!published at 14:14 British Summer Time 26 October
Watford 1-0 Blackburn
Watford's Rocco Vata with some tricky footwork on the left as he drives into the penalty area before firing into the side-netting.
Blackburn need a goal but the hosts are the ones showing more signs of getting another at the moment.
Postpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 26 October
Coventry 2-2 Luton
Despite the scoreline this has been an excellent performance from Mark Robins' Coventry team.
They've been fluid in attack and with some more clinical finishing could have scored plenty more goals.
They've fought back from two down and they're pressing for the three points now, as Jack Rudoni sends another tantalising ball in to Haji Wright but his striker can't get the effort away.
Victor Torp Gold - always believepublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 26 October
Coventry 2-2 Luton
Ged Scott
BBC Sport at the CBS Arena
It's taken nine months for Victor Torp to come up with his first league goal for Coventry City.
And it took just 10 minutes of this game after coming on as sub.
But it was well worth the wait.
A stunning left-foot strike to finally give Coventry parity in a game they have dominated - and should really be winning.
And it produces a great song too. To the sound of Spandau Ballet's Gold . .
Victor Torp . .
Always Believe in Your Self . .
Can Cov actually win this?

Bristol City 0-0 Leeds
Credit where it's due, Bristol City have got through a huge amount of work this afternoon to limit Leeds.
Heading into the final five minutes now, could we yet have a twist in this tale?
