Middlesbrough 0-2 Bristol City
Tommy Conway is off the Boro bench to face the club from whom he moved to the Riverside in August for a reported £4.5m.
Finn Azaz is the man to make way. Can Conway get his new side back into the game against his old side?
CLOSE!published at 16:20 British Summer Time 19 October
Blackburn 1-0 Swansea
Swansea are still well in this.
Ronald nods a cross down into the path of Goncalo Franco whose first time rasping shot flies wide of Aynsley Pears' post.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:19 British Summer Time 19 October
Blackburn 1-0 Swansea
Owen Beck goes into the book for the hosts for hauling back the marauding Matt Grimes.
That's the third caution of the game at Ewood Park after Josh Key and Goncalo Franco for the visitors.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 19 October
Blackburn 1-0 Swansea
Yuki Ohashi is introduced by John Eustace in place of Pape Gueye for the hosts as they seek a second to stave off the threat of the Swans.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 19 October
Middlesbrough 0-2 Bristol City
Five players into the book for Boro now. Luke Ayling, Rav van den Berg, Ben Doak, Finn Azaz and Hayden Hackney. Seven for the match.
Sam Allison might not be on the Riverside Christmas card list this year...
GOAL: QPR 1-2 Portsmouthpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 19 October
Callum Lang (57 mins)
Are they on their way to a first win of the season?
QPR's Morgan Fox fouls Callum Lang in the box and he picks himself up to convert.
2-1 Portsmouth!
PENALTY TO PORTSMOUTHpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 19 October
QPR 1-1 Portsmouth
Portsmouth are awarded a penalty!
Can the Championship strugglers takt he lead at QPR?
Postpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 19 October
QPR 1-1 Portsmouth
Bright stuff again to start the second-half with QPR out of the blocks quickly.
Ilias Chair saw a first-half effort saved while Karamoko Dembele did find the net to give the Londoners the lead.
That pairing is threatening early in the second period but Portsmouth are defending well.

I mean, can you have a microcosm of a match inside five second half minutes?
Sheffield Wednesday fly out the traps, have a penalty shout within a minute of the restart, carry on pushing but… again from almost nothing, they lose the ball and Josh Brownhill is celebrating after Zian Flemming’s effort is saved.
It’s a cruel game but Burnley don’t care, as things stand, they’re the Championship’s top dogs.

Blackburn 1-0 Swansea
Swans leading scorer Liam Cullen gets on the end of Ronald's floated cross into the area but he can only loop his header over Aynsley Pears' crossbar.
Postpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 19 October
Millwall 0-0 Derby
Millwall continue to knock on the Derby door.
This time Macauley Langstaff's effort is well saved by Jacob Widell Zetterstrom in the Derby goal.
Different half but it remains Millwall very much on the front foot.
CLOSE!published at 16:11 British Summer Time 19 October
Middlesbrough 0-2 Bristol City
Jason Knight has been instrumental in building City's lead and he's come close to adding to it, firing a far-post volley past Seny Dieng's post.
City are seeking to make it six unbeaten at Middlesbrough - Boro are unbeaten in four at home themselves.
'Clever by Brownhill'published at 16:10 British Summer Time 19 October
Sheff Wed 0-2 Burnley
Scott Read
BBC Radio Lancashire
It was clever by Brownhill, to let it run through to Flemming, he was then there to follow up.
The referee had a decision to make, but he played on, he could've gone down.
A left-foot volley, the defender on the line couldn't keep it out.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 19 October
Middlesbrough 0-2 Bristol City
Six yellows now, four of them for Boro as Ben Doak goes into the book, having been on the end of the two challenges which saw City players cautioned.
GOAL Sheff Wed 0-2 Burnleypublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 19 October
Josh Brownhill (50 mins)
Destination: Top Spot. It's looking good for Burnley at Hillsborough.
Right place, right time as Josh Brownhill sweeps home Zian Fleming's initial effort is blocked on the line.
Scott Parker will be enjoying this.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 19 October
Middlesbrough 0-2 Bristol City
Hayden Hackney flies into the area at the end of a flowing Middlesbrough move and goes down under pressure but the home side's appeals for a penalty are waved away by ref Sam Allison.

Sheff Wed 0-1 Burnley
Glen Little
Ex-Burnley winger on BBC Radio Lancashire
There's not been many opportunities, it hasn't been convinving, but at the minute, we're top of the table.
After a shaky start, the defence took control, and if we keep a clean-sheet, we stay top of the league.

Only one goal in it and there was a row over who scored it!
Tyrhys Dolan was credited here in the stadium by everyone including the announcer but Makhtar Gueye has insisted it was him. That gives you an idea of the scramble in the box!
It came from a corner, Dolan shot it down into the net but it may have flicked off Gueye on the way in.
Blackburn boss John Eustace won’t care because the 100% record at home is still intact as things stand.
CLOSE!published at 16:05 British Summer Time 19 October
Blackburn 1-0 Swansea
Rovers straight onto the front foot after the turnaround and Ryan Hedges has fizzed a left-footed strike past Lawrence Vigouroux's upright after collecting a pass from Hayden Carter.
