    Portsmouth 0-1 Hull

    Peter Swan
    Former Hull City player on BBC Radio Humberside

    It's early days, but City could stay up on that goal.

    They've deserved it, the players on the move, he side-foots it past the keeper.

    They're on top, they've made them suffer.

    GOAL: Plymouth 1-0 Leedspublished at 12:48 British Summer Time 3 May

    Sam Byram (own goal) (18 mins)

    My word!

    I said the home side weren't to be taken lightly and just moments after Mustapha Bundu had hit the post they are in the lead!

    It's Bundu who is at the heart of it as he powers down the Pilgrims left before seeing his low shot come back off the post again and then turned into his own goal by Sam Byram.

    There'll be no title for Leeds as it stands.

  3. RED CARD Calum Chambers - (Cardiff)published at 12:48 British Summer Time 3 May

    Norwich 1-0 Cardiff

    Could be a long afternoon for the Bluebirds.

    Calum Chambers has brought down Norwich forward Josh Sargent when clean through on goal and has been sent-off for a professional foul after just 16 minutes.

  4. Preston start with purposepublished at 12:48 British Summer Time 3 May

    Bristol City 0-0 Preston

    James Piercy
    BBC Sport at Ashton Gate

    Nahki Wells has flashed an effort wide of the near post after some bright build-up but it's Preston who have arguably started with more purpose to their play.

    Robbie Brady has blazed an effort over and there have been two efforts inside the box which have required Rob Dickie and Zak Vyner to extend their limbs to block.

    City are enjoying plenty of possession but it's a tight and compact white and navy wall in front of them, tough to play through those lines into Scott Twine and Max Bird or go on the outside.

    HUGE goal!!!

    Matt Crooks steers the away side into a vital lead.

    If they can hang on to this then they will be staying up!

  6. Postpublished at 12:47 British Summer Time 3 May

    Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City

    Dan George
    BBC Sport at Fratton Park

    It's been a decent start by Hull, they have had the majority of the ball and got forward into some decent positions.

    Their long throw seems like a real weapon that they will look to utilise today.

    We're still yet to really see Portsmouth get into the game, the Hull fans to my right are in really good voice, haven't stopped singing.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Burnley 1-1 Millwallpublished at 12:46 British Summer Time 3 May

    Josh Brownhill (13 mins)

    Well that didn't last long!

    A poor clearance from Jake Cooper falls to Ashley Barnes and pings across the edge of the box to Josh Brownhill.

    He's in the right place at the right time to fire a shot into the bottom corner. Clinical.

    Frantic start!

  8. Postpublished at 12:46 British Summer Time 3 May

    Plymouth 0-0 Leeds

    Caleb Roberts sends a shot wide for the home side from the edge of the area.

    The Pilgrims are all-but down but with four wins from their past six going into this aren't to be taken lightly by the title-chasers.

  9. Postpublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 3 May

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Andrew Aloia
    BBC Sport at Pride Park

    Chants of 'we are staying up' momentarily got going among Derby fans when news came through that West Brom had taken the lead against Luton.

    The leveller from the Hatters has restored the apprehensive mood among the Rams fans.

    Stoke have made the more assured start at Pride Park, but nothing of not has really happened.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 3 May

    Marcelino Nunez (13 mins)

    Jack Wilshere 1-0 Aaron Ramsey.

    Not much on this game, but interim boss Wilshere will want to stake a claim to the job on a permanent basis and Marcelino Nunez's far-post finish from Jack Stacey's cross has given his side a good start against Cardiff, who are already down and needed a win to stand any chance of not finishing bottom.

  11. Postpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 3 May

    Coventry 0-0 Middlesbrough

    The pressure is relentless.

    Ellis Simms manages to control Haji Wright's low cross from the left in the mixer but Jonny Howson gets in a fine block and Boro are just about able to clear their lines before Wright lashes a volley wide from a nearly impossible angle.

  12. 'They've settled well'published at 12:44 British Summer Time 3 May

    Bristol City 0-0 Preston

    Gary Owers
    Former Sunderland & Bristol City midfielder on BBC Radio Bristol

    The longer it goes without a goal, there more nervy it will get.

    They've settled well in the game, but it's early stages.

    It would be good if they could get it done early.

    Mihailo Ivanovic (11 mins)

    Well, well, well.

    Super play down the right from George Honeyman who puts a cross to the near post.

    Mihailo Ivanovic gets in front of the Burnley defenders to clip a finish into the far corner.

  14. 'Stoke staying composed'published at 12:43 British Summer Time 3 May

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Angela Smith
    BBC Radio Stoke

    The players look composed on the ball.

    These players have experience and they know what they're doing. There will be a lot of twist and turns today.

  15. Postpublished at 12:41 British Summer Time 3 May

    Coventry 0-0 Middlesbrough

    The Sky Blues are piling on the pressure but another chance has gone begging.

    Again it's a low cross from the right which finds a man in space in the middle but Ben Sheaf leans back and fires well over the bar from near the penalty spot on his weaker right foot.

    Zhao Xintong to win the World Snooker title and Blackburn Rovers to seal a play-off place in dramatic fashion. Both events taking place in Sheffield this weekend. To everybody in Sheffield...savour both. You are watching history being made.

  17. Postpublished at 12:41 British Summer Time 3 May

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Blackburn

    There's an early appeal for a Blackburn penalty as Todd Cantwell goes to ground under the challenge of Alfie Gilchrist, but it's waved away.

    Then down at the other end, Tom Cannon forces Rovers stoper Balazs Toth into a smart save down to his right.

  18. Postpublished at 12:40 British Summer Time 3 May

    Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City

    It's been a strong start by Hull City today but they have GOT to win to avoid relegation.

    Lewie Coyle sees a shot tipped wide by Ben Killip in the home goal.

  19. goal

    Instant response! And what a goal this is from Millenic Alli!

    Thelo Aasgaard feeds Alli on the left and he does brilliantly to drive infield, turning Kyle Bartley inside out before slotting into the far corner.

    Within two minutes of going behind and being down as it stands, Luton are now level and staying up as it stands.

    Start as we mean to go on, I guess?

  20. Postpublished at 12:39 British Summer Time 3 May

    Bristol City 0-0 Preston

    Preston have begun brightly in the Bristol sunshine but after driving forward from midfield Robbie Brady opts to unleash a 25-yard strike on his left foot which flies well over Max O'Leary's crossbar.

    He's capable of much better than that, as is Nahki Wells, who pounces on a loose ball 20 yards out at the other end but can only drag a low shot past Dai Cornell's right post.
