    Sheff Utd 0-0 QPR

    The struggling home side are really pushing for an opener as we head towards the break.

  2. Postpublished at 15:44 GMT

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    This game is so delicately poised.

    Nathan Broadhead sends a strike wide of the post for the hosts, who had had Ben Sheaf booked for a challenge on Tanto Oloafe.

    The first goal could be crucial in this game of few chances.

  3. CLOSE!published at 15:43 GMT

    West Brom 0-0 Oxford United

    The fans are starting to turn, you can sense it.

    After a positive first 15 minutes Albion have dropped off and are increasingly sloppy in possession.

    Mikey Johnston has been a bright spark and has worked some space to whip a low shot past Jamie Cumming's post to try and end this scoreless streak which is now just over 360 minutes, since Isaac Price's goal at Watford after 34 minutes on 22 October.

    Not great this.

    Leicester defender Ben Nelson has to be stretchered off the field.

    Luke Thomas is on in his place.

  5. OFF THE LINE!published at 15:42 GMT

    Southampton 2-1 Sheff Wed

    Somehow Wednesday keep the deficit to one goal.

    Adam Armstrong and Caspar Jander draw saves from Owls keeper Ethan Horvath before Finn Azaz has an effort cleared off the line by Sean Fusire.

  6. 'Norwich feeling comfortbale'published at 15:39 GMT

    Norwich 0-0 Leicester

    Flo Allen
    Norwich Women general manager on BBC Radio Norfolk

    Josh Sargent does well to get the ball out of his feet and it was a great opportunity, it just didn't dip enough to squeeze under the bar. A feeling of comfort for Norwich at the minute. The two up front seems to be really working.

  7. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:39 GMT

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    Charlton come so close to the opener.

    Tanto Oloafe's shot is deflected off Dominic Hyam and Harvey Knibbs strikes at goal.

    But the former Reading midfielder hits the crossbar from about eight yards out.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 0-1 Ipswichpublished at 15:37 GMT

    Jack Clarke (35 mins)

    It's been coming... and what a goal.

    Jack Clarke picks the ball up in midfield after a mistake from Goncalo Franco and launches a mazy run, jinking between a couple of loose challenges and then has a crack from outside the box, picking his spot past Lawrence Vigouroux into the bottom right corner.

    That's six goals in 11 games for Clarke and Ipswich's bright start has been rewarded.

    Swansea have had four players booked in the past 10 minutes too.

    Work for Alan Sheehan to do.

  9. Postpublished at 15:36 GMT

    Sheff Utd 0-0 QPR

    Ben Hamer in the R's goal makes a quality save to deny Danny Ings' diving header.

  10. SAVE!published at 15:36 GMT

    Southampton 2-1 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday might be propping up the table with negative points but this team never go down without a fight.

    They're almost in for the equaliser and it's Bailey Cadamarteri who finds space to get the shot away and draw a strong stop from Gavin Bazunu.

  11. CLOSE!published at 15:35 GMT

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    A glimpse of goal for the hosts as the tricky Sorba Thomas whips in a cross from the left which Million Manhoef manages to meet on the slide after nipping infront of his marker, only for the ball to ricochet off him and away from target under pressure from Jay Dasilva.

    Thomas has also now gone into the book in a feisty affair after a confrontation with Tatsuhiro Sakamoto.

    A promising start for Norwich, it happens regularly but they don't convert that into goals when on top!

    Swansea 0-0 Ipswich

    Gareth Vincent
    BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium

    This has been a game of few clear-cut chances, but it is Ipswich who look the more menacing side.

    Swansea, so far at least, are struggling for any fluency in possession.

    For the moment, it is the sizeable contingent of away fans who are enjoying their afternoon more.

  14. 'Game is getting physical'published at 15:33 GMT

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    Danny Pugh
    Former Stoke City defender on BBC Radio Stoke

    It is getting a bit physical here, it is what you would expect from two teams battling it out at the top of the table.

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    Arthur Okonkwo produces a fine save to deny James Bree from giving the Addicks the lead.

    Both sides' defences holding firm so far.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:32 GMT

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    Million Manhoef whips in a teasing cross into the Sky Blues box but Carl Rushworth comes off his line to get a touch on the ball before Ben Wilmot can meet it with his head and the Potters have to settle for a corner.

    Coventry forward Haji Wright has also had his name taken for a cynical pull back on Bae Junho.

  17. 'End-to-end football'published at 15:31 GMT

    Norwich 0-0 Leicester

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin
    BBC Radio Leicester commentator

    Asmir Begovic does really well to turn the ball away from trickling into the back of the net, good save.

    It is real end-to-end stuff here at Carrow Road.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Middlesbrough 1-1 Birminghampublished at 15:31 GMT

    Demarai Gray (29 mins)

    All-square and the home side are not happy!

    The visitors level through Demarai Gray's finish after a corner.

    Boro think the Jamaica international fouled his man before shooting but the referee isn't interested.

  19. 'The Owls fans went wild'published at 15:30 GMT

    Southampton 2-1 Sheff Wed

    Dan George
    BBC Sport at St Mary's

    Well then...

    Those Sheffield Wednesday fans across from me just went wild when that one went in, that was a great strike by Harry Amass.

    They have been singing ever since we got underway and certainly enjoyed that one, what a game this is shaping up to be!

  20. Postpublished at 15:30 GMT

    Norwich 0-0 Leicester

    Jovon Makama bursts through but Asmir Begovic in the Leicester goal is equal to his effort.
