Stoke 1-0 Derby
Derby's Ben Osborn gets himself into a great position on the left, unmarked, and calls for the ball.
His request is heeded but not well executed. The pass is sliced wide and Stoke have the chance to get themselves into position.
Potential chance goes begging.

Zan Vipotnik (38 mins)

The drought is over!
Ronald gets to the byline and slides the ball across the face of goal and there is Zan Vipotnik to tap in from close range for his second goal of the season.
The wait for a first goal since 29 September ends after 563 minutes.
'Great opportunity for Rovers'published at 13:07 Greenwich Mean Time
Blackburn 0-1 Sheffield Utd

Reporter, BBC Radio Lancashire
How has Hedges hasn't made contact with that I'll never know!
They've all missed it.
A great opportunity for Rovers that came from some good football.

Blackburn 0-1 Sheffield Utd
The home side threaten for the first time in a while.
Tyrhys Dolan gets a cross into the box but Ryan Hedges can't quite get on it at the back stick.

Stoke 1-0 Derby
Again, Andrew Moran finds himself running past the Derby defence and it's causing some havoc.
He cuts the ball into the box to give Junior Tchamadeu a shot but in his way is his own man, goal scorer Tom Cannon, and the strike is deflected out for a goal kick.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:04 Greenwich Mean Time
Oxford 0-0 Swansea
Oxford's Louie Sibley collects the game's first yellow card as he takes down Matt Grimes with a reckless tackle.
It's an easy decision for referee Michael Salisbury.
'United look menacing'published at 13:04 Greenwich Mean Time
Blackburn 0-1 Sheffield Utd
Andy Bayes
Reporter, BBC Radio Lancashire
Sheffield United look absolutely menacing with the pace that they've got on the break.
Particularly from that man Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.

Oxford 0-0 Swansea
Image source, Rex Features
We are 30 minutes into this game and Oxford are still yet to have an effort on goal.
After that bright start Swansea have got a bit stuck with lots of sterile possession but they look the more likely to break the deadlock.
Postpublished at 12:59 Greenwich Mean Time
Blackburn 0-1 Sheff Utd
Blackburn made a fine start to the season but they've just dropped off with one win in their past five going into today.
Just coming up to the half hour mark, they've yet to have a shot on target in this one.
Postpublished at 12:59 Greenwich Mean Time
Stoke 1-0 Derby
Ebou Adams is down and wincing after Stoke's Tatsuki Seko catches the Derby player's ankle with his studs.
The midfielder avoids a yellow card and, after the initial pain, Adams is back up.
Jerry Yates then gives Stokes teenage midfielder Ashley Phillips a shove to the ground and the referee has a stern word.
Things are getting heated.
Postpublished at 12:54 Greenwich Mean Time
Stoke 1-0 Derby
The possession stats have swung into the Potters favour as Derby struggle to get themselves on the ball.
A free-kick from the half-way line gives the Rams a chance to have an attacking spell but it's not used to great effect. The ball strays away from it's target, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, and he's forced to chase.
It ends up out of play and though originally awarded to the visitors, the referee has to intervene to give it to it's rightful owners, Stoke.

Oxford 0-0 Swansea
No-one dominates ball possession more than Swansea do in the Championship - they average around 66% each game and they've started brightly here.
They've had three corners which have caused concern with Myles Peart-Harris heading against the crossbar and Harry Darling failing to make proper contact with a free header.
Oxford haven't got started yet and have failed to produce an attempt on goal.
Postpublished at 12:52 Greenwich Mean Time
Blackburn 0-1 Sheff Utd
That might have been Harrison Burrows' first goal for Sheffield United after his summer move but he's no stranger to the scoresheet.
The full-back scored 12 for Peterborough last season, including two goals at Wembley in the EFL Trophy final.
His crisp strike across the goalkeeper for the opener today was absolutely textbook.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:50 Greenwich Mean Time
Oxford 0-0 Swansea
Swansea so close to ending their drought.
Their third corner of the opening 18 minutes is glanced against the crossbar by Myles Peart-Harris.
543 minutes since Swansea last scored (stop us when this gets boring...)
'Sucker punch for Rovers'published at 12:49 Greenwich Mean Time
Blackburn 0-1 Sheffield Utd
Andy Bayes
Reporter, BBC Radio Lancashire
It's been a good start to the game for Rovers, hopefully this doesn't sucker punch that start here.
Postpublished at 12:47 Greenwich Mean Time
Stoke 1-0 Derby
Stoke are feeling much better about themselves now.
A high pass goes looping towards a running Andrew Moran but Derby midfielder Ben Osborn keeps his body in the way to muscle him out of danger.
It results in a corner but the home side aren't able to make anything of it.
'Like a missile'published at 12:47 Greenwich Mean Time
Blackburn 0-1 Sheffield Utd
Andy Giddings
Sports Editor, BBC Sheffield
Burrows buries it for Sheffield United, his first goal for United.
He's hit it like a missile into the bottom corner!
GOAL: Blackburn 0-1 Sheff Utdpublished at 12:46 Greenwich Mean Time
Harrison Burrows (16 mins)

The Blades open the scoring!
Former Peterborough defender Harrison Burrows scores his first goal for the club in some style with a thumping shot across the goalkeeper after the home side fail to clear their lines.

Blackburn 0-0 Sheff Utd
This one's just starting to open up a little bit after a quiet start.
Rovers are looking for their first goal since 19 October after back-to-back blanks.
Still, nothing compared to Swansea's barren run in front of goal...
Postpublished at 12:43 Greenwich Mean Time
Oxford 0-0 Swansea
A corner for Swansea comes out to Matt Grimes - it's a decent shot but it strikes his own player and flies wide although the offside flag was up.
535 minutes without a goal for the Welshmen now...
