    Watford 0-0 Swansea

    Yasser Larouci wins the ball high up for Watford, cuts in from the left and then drags it back onto his left before firing well wide.

    Some neat work but no end product for the Hornets.

    Portsmouth 0-0 Plymouth

    Portsmouth have dominated the ball with 81% possession so far but are yet to create as clear an opening as the visitors did for Ryan Hardie's earlier effort.

    Pompey have in-fact failed to win any of their past eight league games against Plymouth (D5 L3) since a 3-0 victory at Fratton Park in September 2018.

    Stoke 0-0 Blackburn

    Bright start from the home side and Million Manhoef sees a shot from inside the area blocked.

    The Potters are right down at the wrong end of the Championship table, but they've only lost one of their past six in front of their own fans.

  5. 'Aaronson should have pulled it back'published at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds

    He did everything right, did Brenden Aaronson for Leeds.

    He showed a great turn of pace.

    But Dan James was waiting at the back post for the pull-back. I would have pulled it back.

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    USA international Brenden Aaronson threatens for the Whites but Lukas Jensen is alert to his attempt to beat him at his near post.

    The Lions stand up well to the corner.

  7. 'Leeds are in control'published at 20:06 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    Adam Pope
    BBC Radio Leeds commentator

    This is the Leeds United that we are used to seeing, the way they build up.

    Ao Tanaka is in that Kalvin Phillips role in defensive midfield.

    Jayden Bogle is looking very lively from right-back.

    They are in control.

  8. Postpublished at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Hull City 0-0 Oxford

    Matt Phillips sends in a dangerous free-kick for the away side that Elliott Moore can't quite direct on target.

  9. Postpublished at 20:05 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Portsmouth 0-0 Plymouth

    Regan Poole gives the ball away for Portsmouth just inside his own half and it goes to Plymouth attacker Mustapha Bundu, who sees Pompey keeper Nicolas Schmid off his line.

    Bundu tries to lob Schmid from distance but it goes just wide. Argyle have certainly had the more presentable sights of goal in the opening 20 minutes.

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    You have to go back to April 2023 for the last time Leeds took the lead in a home game in the league and went on to lose.

    That one went spectacularly wrong, as Crystal Palace came back from 1-0 down to win 5-1 in the Premier League.

    Not sure I see the same thing happening this evening...

  11. Postpublished at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Watford 0-0 Swansea

    Eom Ji-sung disappointingly curls Swansea's free-kick from 20 yards straight at the wall.

  12. Postpublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Watford 0-0 Swansea

    Watford's Imran Louza is penalised for bundling into Swansea's Goncalo Franco on the edge of his own box and the visitors have a free-kick in a very promising position.

  13. 'Rothwell trying to make things happen'published at 20:01 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    Aidy White
    Former Leeds United full-back on BBC Radio Leeds

    Joe Rothwell is the one to try and make things happen for Leeds.

    He decides he has the space and the composure to drive through two Millwall players.

    He got a good round of applause, everybody could see what he was trying to do.

  14. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Stoke 0-0 Blackburn

    We are off and running in our fifth and final game this evening.

  15. CLOSE!published at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Portsmouth 0-0 Plymouth

    Portsmouth work a short corner on the left to Sunderland loanee Adil Aouchiche and he bends an ambitious effort towards the far corner and it isn't all that far wide!

  16. Postpublished at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Leeds 1-0 Millwall

    That's a second own goal this season for Millwall centre-back Jake Cooper.

    Really not a lot he could have done about this evening's, as Manor Solomon's low cross hit him and totally wrong-footed Lukas Jensen in the away goal.

    Who'd be a defender?

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Portsmouth 0-0 Plymouth

    Plymouth, who are looking to close the gap at the bottom, have just had the best moment of the game so far!

    The Pilgrims work it to Ryan Hardie on the right side of the box and he hits a powerful half-volley across goal towards the far corner, forcing Pompey stopper Nicolas Schmid into a smart save.

    Hull City 0-0 Oxford

    It's been almost 36 years since Oxford won at Hull City in what was then Division Two.

    To be fair, these two haven't met that many times in recent years, this is just the fourth league meeting since January 2004.

  19. Postpublished at 19:57 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Watford 0-0 Swansea

    Ryan Andrews puts in a decent ball from the right for Watford and Tom Ince finds himself completely unmarked near the penalty spot but can't divert his header on target.

    A good chance goes begging.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 19:54 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March

    Watford 0-0 Swansea

    The first real opening of the game falls Swansea's way.

    Zan Vipotnik cuts in from the left, shifts it out of his feet and curls it towards the far corner from the edge of the box but Egil Selvik does well in the Watford goal to dive to his left and push the effort away.
