FT: Norwich 1-1 QPR

The FA are investigating top-scorer Borja Sainz for an incident during their 2-1 defeat to Sunderland earlier this month.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe have reached the half-time break in our seven 15:00 GMT kick-off matches, but there are two really exciting games on the way this evening, with big consequences at the top of the Championship.
Leeds United and Burnley both have chances to end the day as league leaders.
Stoke 0-0 Sunderland
Image source, PA MediaNo goals so far in this one between managerless Stoke and play-off chasing Sunderland.
The away side have had plenty of chances but not found a way past Potters keeper Viktor Johnasson so far.
Swansea 1-1 Luton
Luton had the perfect start when Carlton Morris capitalised on a misplaced clearance from Swansea keeper Lawrence Vigouroux to score his seventh goal of the season.
But since then the Hatters have not had a shot on target and Swansea were the side who were creating all the chances with Eom Ji-Sung coming the closest hitting the post.
They got their well deserved equaliser through Goncalo Franco to score his second goal in two games.
Watford 1-2 Cardiff
Well, well, well. Is Watford's unbeaten home record under threat?
The Hornets haven't lost at Vicarage Road for 15 games, with their last defeat on home soil coming in March.
But they are 2-1 down to Cardiff thanks to Callum Robinson's double, either side of Giorgi Chakvetadze's leveller.
Could the Bluebirds be on course for a first away win of the season? They're out of the bottom three as things stand.
Coventry 0-0 Millwall
Image source, PA MediaNo goals, and no great heights reached in this one so far.
Frank Lampard will no doubt demand more of a cutting edge of his Coventry City side as they look to translate their dominance of the ball into actual chances.
Alex Neil, the former Norwich, Preston, Sunderland and Stoke boss, is in the stands watching the Millwall side that he is poised to take control of. He will also have plenty to ponder...
Bristol City 3-0 Portsmouth
Image source, Getty ImagesA rampant Bristol City side have scored three first-half goals, including two in three minutes, to push Portsmouth into the Championship's relegation zone.
Anis Mehmeti has finished brilliantly for his two goals, with defender Rob Dickie tapping in a third.
The scoreline is now the same as the reverse fixture earlier this month, only Portsmouth won 3-0 on that occasion.
Blackburn 0-0 Hull
Image source, PA MediaA little topsy-turvy so far at Ewood Park with Blackburn having the slightly more dangerous chances but neither side able to break the deadlock at half-time.
Watford 1-2 Cardiff
Charlie Slater
BBC Final Score at Vicarage Road
Cardiff back in front. Brilliant play from Chris Willock in the middle of midfield. He shrugs off one or two challenges before finding Cian Ashford on the right side of the penalty area.
Could have shot himself but did the unselfish thing, the right thing and squared it to Callum Robinson to tap home.
HT: Oxford 1-0 Plymouth
Guy Branston
Former Plymouth defender
We've got to reset and go again in the second half.
We have to have a go at this team as this is a frail team as well.
Oxford 1-0 Plymouth
Ciaron Brown's second in two games has Gary Rowett's men a goal to the good.
Big 15 minutes coming up for Plymouth boss Wayne Rooney as he looks to get his bottom-of-the-table side going in this one.
Oxford 1-0 Plymouth
Image source, Rex FeaturesMore bad reading for Plymouth fans.
They've become the first Championship team since Rotherham in 2016-17 to concede 50 goals in their first 23 games of a second tier season.
Rotherham finished bottom that season...
Oxford 1-0 Plymouth
Peter Rhoades-Brown
Former Oxford and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford
Oxford will just need to see this out now to make it a 1-0 lead at half-time.
Swansea 1-1 Luton
Gareth Vincent
BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium
Swansea's equaliser had been coming.
Goncalo Franco had not scored for Swansea before Thursday's win over QPR, but he now has two in two.
Though he has not scored until this week, the all-action midfielder has been influential in Luke Williams' team all season.
Stoke 0-0 Sunderland
Viktor Johansson is being kept very busy in the Stoke goal.
This time the Swede makes a fine save to keep Trai Hume out.
The promotion-chasing Black Cats are really pushing now.
Blackburn 0-0 Hull
A chance for Hull!
Mason Burstow's free kick rebounds off the Blackburn wall but he runs onto the ball and slams a shot at goal from distance.
It's got too much on it though and it blasts high and wide of the target.
Callum Robinson (42 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesWhat a game! Cardiff are back in front and it's Callum Robinson again!
It's a great move by the Bluebirds as Chris Willock plays in Cian Ashford down the right.
Ashford then squares for Robinson to tap into the empty net for his second goal of the game and eighth of the season in the Championship.
Stoke 0-0 Sunderland
Nick Barnes
BBC Newcastle's Sunderland commentator
Image source, PA MediaThere's a certain amount of feistiness in the game.
The Stoke fans are clearly not happy with the referee, three of their players have been booked.
Goncalo Franco (38 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesAll that Swansea pressure has paid off.
It's two in two games for Goncalo Franco who fires home from close range after Ronald is denied by very good save from Thomas Kaminski.
Blackburn 0-0 Hull
The Hull defenders are beginning to leak mistakes and Blackburn are capitalising.
A loose pass finds Tyrhys Dolan, who sets the ball off to Makhtar Gueye. He takes the ball on his left foot and strikes but it drags inches to the right.
Inches.
