Compared to last week - which ended up being Will Still's final game in charge here - Southampton look so much better going forward as a team.

Defensively they have still had a fair few scares in the game but there just seems to be so much urgency to get the ball forward when in possession.

They are also moving the ball around much quicker, this has been a thoroughly entertaining first half from both sides.

There wasn't too much to note in the first half. Norwich have tried to pump balls into the penalty area and Leicester are still struggling with their lack of chance creation.

No Rob Edwards, no problem so far for Middlesbrough.

The home side lead at the break and are up to second as it stands.

Two teams who desperately need a win all-square at the break.

Swansea are booed off after what was probably their worst opening 45 minutes at home this season.

Alan Sheehan has plenty of work to do at half-time.

Nothing doing in this one between two out-of-form sides but the hosts have had much the better of it.

A seventh straight half without a goal for West Brom.

They began brightly enough but couldn't fashion a real chance and Mike Johnston's curler past the post is as close as they have come, while Oxford have grown in stature and Cameron Brannagan drew a fine save from Josh Griffiths while Will Lankshear saw decent penalty appeals turned down before the break.

Tyrese Campbell hits a shot just wide of the post as the Blades continue to push for the opener.

The Tractor Boys are motoring on the road for the second straight Saturday.

After a bright start Jack Clarke produced a moment of magic with a mazy run and fine low finish past Lawrence Vigouroux to give Town a half-time lead.

A lot of bookings in the opening 45 minutes, four of them to Swansea in a 10-minute spell, if this finishes 11-a-side I'd be surprised.

Best defence is trumping best attack, at present, but this big game is yet to really spring to life, if we're honest.

We're into FIVE minutes of time added on before the break at Carrow Road.

The away side are on top right now.

Southampton lead at the end of an eventful half of football at St Mary's.

Caspar Jender and Finn Azaz gave the hosts a 2-0 lead with their first goals for the club.

The Owls responded well and halved the deficit through a long-range strike from Harry Amass.

Henrik Pederson's side rode their luck as Azaz had an effort cleared off the line to deny the former Middlesbrough player his second goal of the game.

There are SEVEN minutes of time added on at the end of this first half.

All square in a game of few clearcut chances.

Harvey Knibbs hit the bar for the visitors with the best chance of the game so far but both sides' resolute defences have been on top.

Coventry have had the better of it, bossing possession and mustering the most attempts on goal, but it's still just one shot on target apiece as we enter three added minutes at the end of the half.

It has been a good half for Leicester so far. It is never easy when you have to go away from home.

The hosts are enjoying a strong finish to this first half and are cranking up the pressure on the Addicks.

Ryan Longman fires over the top from close range for Wrexham.

Hearts in mouths for Albion as Oxford striker Will Lankshear seems to be wrestled to the deck in the area by Nat Phillips.

Referee Jacob Miles has a look and waves play on.

No VAR in the Championship remember. Perhaps luckily for Phillips.

Ipswich's goal had been coming.

Swansea have been poor in possession and the paid the price thanks to Jack Clarke's precise finish.

Alan Sheehan could probably do with half-time, and the chance to have a tactical rethink.
