Daiki Hashioka is on for Luton at the break, replacing Tom Holmes, but gets caught in the face by Edo Kayembe's boot inside 30 seconds.

Welcome back to action, Daiki.

No changes for either side at the start of the second-half.

Oxford's unbeaten home record is on the line as is the leadership of the Championship for West Brom.

Jordan Houghton has come on for Plymouth at the break, with Rami Al Hajj sacrificed for the 10 men, who lost Ibrahim Cissoko just before the break, remember.

Ooof, almost a goal right from the off!

Coventry have never won at Preston in the league, but Josh Eccles is presented with a golden chance to set his side on their way to ending that run.

The ball breaks kindly for the Coventry player on the edge of the box, but the midfielder fluffs his lines and can't hit the target.

Big 15 minutes for a few managers there, will their words of wisdom have made a difference?

We're about to find out. We are back under way...

Looking good for Baggies fans in this extremely tight Championship table...

Handsome Nick: Watford insisting on playing out from the back despite the keeper Bachman having heavy strapping on his thigh and seemingly unable to kick the ball.

One passing angle and option less. Luton keep stealing possession. Watford need to change something. Maybe the keeper?

What a half for Cardiff City.

Alex Robertson swept the Bluebirds into the lead with a glorious strike from 20-yards on 16 minutes and then Rubin Colwill guided a neat second eight minutes later.

Ibrahim Cissoko has seen red for Plymouth after seeing red after the ball was smashed at him from close range.

Could this be back-to-back home wins for the rock-bottom hosts?

And one point in seven away games for Argyle?

Luton lead at half-time and deservedly so.

Is the Watford game plan to wait until the second half?

It could be seen as a gamble, although they have a lot of firepower on the bench.

Just before kick-off players and supporters showed their respects following the death of former Oxford player George Baldock last week.

The minute's silence was impeccably observed.

On the field the home side just haven't really got going and West Brom deservedly lead through Karlan Grant's fine finish from the edge of the area.

Grant has also had another effort saved while Heggem has headed over the bar.

Mark Harris did have an early sight of goal for Oxford but, without a goal in his last five matches, the striker took a heavy touch and Palmer made the block.

Having said all that the home side could easily be level but Ciaron Brown steered a free header over the bar.

It's the first time this season Oxford have trailed at half-time in a home game and as it stands the Baggies are top of the Championship.

Tom Holmes so nearly gave Watford an early lead with an outrageous 40 yard own goal in the opening minutes but Luton got over their nerves and it was Holmes who met Alfie Doughty's corner with a volley which deflected into the net off Jordan Clark to give the Hatters the advantage at the break.

A 1-0 lead will however never seem enough, especially in a derby.

Free-kick for Oxford down the West Brom right.

Will Vaulks for some reason squares it to Tyler Goodrham further away from goal and West Brom clear - that's a waste.

No shortage of sights of goal, but the net is yet to bulge at Deepdale this afternoon.

The hosts have been brighter, and Coventry have keeper Oliver Dovin to thank for two fine saves from Emil Riis to keep the score at 0-0.

Lilywhites forward Riis also wasted a golden opportunity to open the scoring with a header from inside the six yard box.

At the other end, the visitors have looked dangerous, without really creating an end product so far.

Sky Blues boss Mark Robins, the third longest-serving manager in England's top four divisions, will have seen this all before. He will know his side can step it up after the break.

Giorgi Chakvetadze has a glimpse of goal for Watford, being found just outside the area and working a yards of space for a shot, only to rifle over the angle of post and bar.

The Georgian is too good not to have kept that on target, really.

Leon Barnett

I don't think Watford have competed physically.

They want to play fancy football but it's not working at the moment.

On the other hand, Luton have been brilliant with their game plan.

Karlan Grant goes for goal for West Brom again but his effort is straight at Jamie Cumming.

Red mist.

Ibrahim Cissoko is tripped by Ollie Tanner and tumbles to the deck. Perry Ng smashes the ball into the Argyle winger on the ground from a few yards away and Cissoko pops up and grabs Ng by the throat and pushes him off the field.

Andrew Kitchen has little choice but to show him the red card five minutes before the break, and already 2-0 down.

Ng gets a yellow for his initial hammering of the ball at Cissoko, who had been awarded a free-kick, of course.

Wayne Rooney watches on from the stands, serving a one-match ban after his own red card last time out.

Callum Robinson goes into the book after over-running the ball on the edge of the Plymouth box and leaving a foot in as Kornel Szucs hacks clear.

No malice, just frustration after his run was ended.

This is a tricky spell for Oxford.

West Brom are noticeably on top and will in fact go top of the table with a win.

Jamie Cumming has to claw another ball away from the Oxford goal.
