Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Oxford pressing but have they left it too late?
West Brom's changes looked to be all about managing the game but they may have just encouraged the home side...
CLOSE!published at 14:17 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
Haji Wright is taking it upon himself to get his side back on level terms at Deepdale.
The forward gets in a good position again from a cross from the right, but the header is over the top.
Time running out if the Sky Blues want anything from this game.
GREAT SAVE!published at 14:16 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Daniel Bachmann to the rescue for Watford as Elijah Adebayo bears down on goal after being played clean through on the right, but he can only sidefoot his attempt into the outrushing keeper.
The Hatters forward looks desperately short of confidence infront of goal. A dinked finish was needed there.
His last goal came against Everton in early May. And it shows.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Another change for Oxford as Idris El Mizouni goes off to be replaced by Owen Dale.
Baggies still going top as it stands.
GREAT SAVE!published at 14:14 British Summer Time
Cardiff 5-0 Plymouth
What a save this is.
Callum Robinson tries to bend a SIXTH into the top corner but somehow Dan Grimshaw flies to his left and sticks out a finger which tips the ball just over the woodwork.
Man of the Match might be a stretch, given Rubin Colwill's contribution, but he's been excellent in the Argyle goal, despite the scoreline.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Another double change for West Brom.
Jayson Molumby and Mikey Johnston are on.
Uros Racic and Josh Maja are the men to make way.
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 14:13 British Summer Time
Preston 1-0 Coventry
Tough to take for Coventry, this.
Haji Wright produces a lovely finish on the turn through a crowd of Preston players, but the ball had hit the American striker's hand for the first touch.
Deliberate or not, that one can't stand. A shame, because that was a fine finish.
GOAL Cardiff 5-0 Plymouthpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time
Chris Willock (80 mins)
Omer Riza's job application is taking shape.
This is another cracking finish as a Cardiff corner is only half-cleared to the edge of the box where sub Chris Willock meets the ball with a first-time volley down into the ground which bounces into Dan Grimshaw's top corner.
City have been rampant. This is a day to forget for Plymouth and their travelling army of 3,200 fans,

Luton 2-0 Watford
Watford enjoying a spell of possession in the Luton half but the Hatters are holding their shape well and throwing their bodies in the way when needed.
One goal would set up quite the finale, but Luton are not going to make it easy.
'Watford have struggled with them'published at 14:08 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Leon Barnett
Former Luton defender on BBC Three Counties Radio
I'm glad they've played the two big men up top today.
Morris and Adebayo have won everything up front, Watford have struggled with them.
They've held it up well which has helped the side.
Postpublished at 14:08 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Oxford boss Des Buckingham has made attacking changes with Malcolm Ebiowei, Louie Sibley and Dane Scarlett but they still haven't fashioned a clear chance in this second-half.
Time is running out for that unbeaten home run,...
YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:06 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Louie Sibley hasn't been on long for Oxford but his first meaningful contribution is to be cautioned for a rash challenge.
GOAL Cardiff 4-0 Plymouthpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time
Callum Robinson (75 mins)
Four goals in nine games. Now four goals in one game.
Callum Robinson is played in down the left in acres of space, he cuts inside his man and curls into the far corner from 15 yards giving Dan Grimshaw no chance.
The finishing today has been incredible.
Robinson lifts his shirt to reveal a tribute to his former Sheffield United teammate George Baldock. A lovely touch.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Malcolm Ebiowei is on for Oxford at the expense of Siriki Dembele.
This is Ebiowei's first appearance since September 21.
CLOSE!published at 14:04 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Watford sub Daniel Jebbison comes close to a reply as he meets a low cross from fellow sub Kwadwo Baah with an audacious backheel in the middle, only for his effort to hit a defender before it can test Thomas Kaminski.
It's not over quite yet.
CLOSE!published at 14:01 British Summer Time
Luton 2-0 Watford
Luton going in search of a third.
Jacob Brown is off the bench and latches onto a pullback from Elijah Adebayo but is crowded out as he tries to get a shot off and the ball deflects behind for another Luton corner.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 14:00 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
A double change for West Brom this time.
Tom Fellows and Grady Diagana get the hook and Jed Wallace and John Swift are on for the final 20 minutes.
GOAL Preston 1-0 Coventrypublished at 13:59 British Summer Time
Emil Riis (72 mins)
Deadlock broken at Deepdale!
If at first you don't succeed....
After numerous attempts to get the opener, Emil Riis takes his chance this time around!
The forward is on hand in the six-yard box to head home Robbie Brady's cross-come-shot after Coventry fail to deal with a corner.
This one had been threatening a goal and now we have it! Will that be enough? Or will the floodgates now open....
Postpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time
Oxford 0-1 West Brom
Wonderful ball into the box by Oxford's Tyler Goodrham but Siriki Dembele's header is over.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 13:58 British Summer Time
Cardiff 3-0 Plymouth
Standing ovation for Cardiff's Rubin Colwill as he heads off with Chris WIllock coming on.
He has run the show for the hosts and on this showing the Bluebirds will have no trouble getting out of the drop-zone in the coming weeks.
