  1. YELLOW CARD

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    Really testy afternoon at the Bet365 and Frank Lamard has gone into the book for his protests to the official.

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Utd 0-0 QPR

    Another change for the home side.

    Andre Brooks is off and Chieo Ogbene is on.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Middlesbrough 2-1 Birmingham

    Triple change for the home side.

    Kaly Sene, Sverre Nypan and George McCormick are all on.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    Southampton 3-1 Sheff Wed

    A first change for Saints and Leo Scienza comes off, with Jay Robinson on in his place.

    Energy levels had just dropped slightly for the hosts.

  5. GREAT SAVE!

    Swansea 1-2 Ipswich

    What a save from Christian Walton. You need to see this.

    Ji-sung Eom is off the bench and whips in a cross for Ben Cabango who looks destined to head into the net only for Walton to fly across his goal and get a fingertip onto the post to keep the Town lead intact.

  6. YELLOW CARD

    Southampton 3-1 Sheff Wed

    Saints keeper Gavin Bazunu goes into the book for time-wasting with a whole load of time left in this game.

    Two goals clear against the team bottom of the table.

    I'll never understand it.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 1-0 Leicester

    Mathias Kvistgaarden (62 mins)

    Norwich celebrateShutterstock

    HUGE goal at Carrow Road!

    Matias Kvistgaarden thunders home a firm shot from outside the area to give the lowly Canaries a vital lead.

    That's a first home goal since September.

  8. CLOSE!

    West Brom 1-1 Oxford United

    All Albion since the fortunate leveller as Isaac Price saw a shot parried by Jamie Cumming, former U's man Alex Mowatt saw a shot blocked and sub Jayson Molumby has seen a toe-poke saved by the keeper after a Price cut-back.

  9. 'Game is lacking at the minute'

    Norwich 0-0 Leicester

    Darren Kenton
    Former Leicester City defender on BBC Radio Leicester

    If you look at both benches, you struggle to see anybody that can come on and impact the game.

    This game is certainly lacking in anything at the minute.

  10. GREAT SAVE!

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    The leaders are trying their best to extend their lead at the top to seven points.

    The recalled Ephron Mason-Clarke cuts in from the left and sees a shot saved by Viktor Johansson, who can't hold on, but recovers bravely to prevent Brandon Thomas-Asante from turning in the loose ball, getting a whack for his troubles.

  11. SUBSTITUTION

    Middlesbrough 2-1 Birmingham

    Double change for Blues.

    Kyogo Furuhashi and Keshi Anderson are on.

  12. Middlesbrough 2-1 Birmingham

    Hayden Hackney goes down in the penalty area for the home side but the referee isn't interested.

  13. 'Frail Saints defence could still be got at'

    Southampton 3-1 Sheff Wed

    Dan George
    BBC Sport at St Mary's

    As we approach the hour mark there is a great atmosphere here in St Mary's.

    Southampton are pushing for a fourth but the Sheffield Wednesday fans are making a brilliant noise across from me in the ground.

    With how frail Saints have looked defensively, they could definitely still be got at here.

    To pick one person out, Southampton's Leo Scienza looks so dangerous when driving forward with the ball, he's played well today.

  14. Sheff Utd 0-0 QPR

    Whatever happens today, Sheffield United will spend the international break in the bottom three after their wretched start to this season.

    Japhet Tanganga comes up with a big block as the away side push for an opener.

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    Nathan Jones makes his first change of the afternoon.

    Ibrahim Fullah's game is over as he's replaced by Greg Docherty.

  16. 'Lack of quality in final third'

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    There has not been much quality in the final third so far, so it feels like this game could be decided by a set-piece or a mistake. I do think there will be some twists and turns before the end.

  17. Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    Wrexham are cranking up the pressure and Kieffer Moore sends a header wide of the goal.

    Charlton keeper Thomas Kaminski and Addicks head coach Nathan Jones takes the chance to get his players over to get some messages across.

  18. Swansea 1-2 Ipswich

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    Swansea were not level for long.

    For the umpteenth time they cough up possession and Ipswich once again make the home side pay as Leif Davis' shot deflects in off his old team-mate Cameron Burgess.

    Just as Swansea gain the momentum for the first time, they give it back to Ipswich.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-2 Ipswich

    Leif Davis (55 mins)

    Town back in charge.

    As with the first Ipswich goal Goncalo Franco loses possession and Leif Davis is played in down the left to steady himself in the box and fire in a low shot which deflects past Lawrence Vigouroux off the sliding Cameron Burgess, who joined the Swans after four years at Portman Road this summer - it might even go down as a painful own-goal for the former Tractor Boys hero.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Southampton 3-1 Sheff Wed

    Henrik Pederson makes his first move and sends on Jamal Lowe in place of Charlie McNeil.
