    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.

    Stoke 0-0 Coventry

    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.

    Wrexham 0-0 Charlton

    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.

  7. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:45 GMT

    West Brom 0-0 Oxford United

    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.

  8. Ipswich in controlpublished at 15:45 GMT

    Swansea 0-1 Ipswich

    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.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 QPR

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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. '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.

  15. 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.

    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.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 QPR

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

  18. 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.

  19. 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!
