    Craven Cottage led an emotional tribute to Jimmy Hill prior to kick off tonight. Both sides observed a minute's applause for Hill, who made over 250 appearances for Fulham between 1952 and 1961.

    Slavisa Jokanovic will be happy to see his side make their walk to the dressing rooms on top. The Fulham manager has had it all to see in his first 45 minutes in west London. Two Cauley Woodrow goals separate his Fulham team from Rotherham who levelled through Farrend Rawson's strike.

    Will there be more to come from these two struggling sides after the break?

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34

    Leeds 1-1 Derby

    Superb goalkeeping from Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri stops Andreas Weimann rounding him in injury time and keeps it all square.

    Jeff Hendrick's dancing feet opened the scoring for Derby, with Sol Bamba equalising after Lee Grant's fumble from a free-kick.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:33

    Brighton 0-1 Ipswich

    A funny old first half, with the hosts dominating much of the possession but Daryl Murphy pounced on Lewis Dunk's error to fire in a fierce opener from an acute angle, giving Ipswich the lead against the run of play.

    Albion boss Chris Hughton will have much to think about at half-time.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:33

    Cardiff 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    All square at the break at the Cardiff City Stadium.

    Oliver Burke's superb opener for Forest was cancelled out by Aron Gunnarsson's deflected long-range shot.

    The hosts are back on top and right on the stroke of half time, Ross McCormack plays a superb cross right to the feet of Cauley Woodrow who does well to flick the ball past Lee Camp for his second of the night.

  10. Leeds 1-1 Derbypublished at 20:31

    Johnny Russell does well to win a corner for Derby as three minutes extra of injury time are announced at Elland Road.

    From that corner, the Rams winger has a curling effort with his right foot but it drifts wide.

  11. Brighton 0-1 Ipswichpublished at 20:27

    Brighton aren't taking that Daryl Murphy opener lying down. The hosts' namesake striker, Jamie Murphy, is played through on goal but his effort is well saved by Ipswich keeper Dean Gerken.

    GOAL (Bamba)published at 20:26

    Leeds 1-1 Derby

    After goalscorer Jeff Hendrick become the first Derby player to recieve a yellow card, Leeds cause havoc from the free-kick.

    Lee Grant only gets a feint touch on the stood-up set-piece, he then saves from Sam Byram's effort at the edge of the area and the ball kindly falls to captain Sol Bamba to drill home from close range after Stuart Dallas' cross.

    The hosts score with their first shot on target.

  13. Leeds 0-1 Derbypublished at 20:24

    Leeds' Sam Byram twists and turns to find space and he digs out a cross which Tom Adeyemi meets but his glancing header is a few metres wide.

  14. Fulham 1-1 Rotherhampublished at 20:23

    An entertaining affair at Craven Cottage. Goalscorer Cauley Woodrow finds Alex Kacaniklic who plays the ball back into the Fulham man but his follow-up effort goes just wide of the mark.

  15. Cardiff 1-1 Nottingham Forestpublished at 20:22

    Cardiff shading things in south Wales, but they're still level with 10 minutes of the first half remaining.

    It's not been bad at all. Cardiff have been very bright - they just need to get Craig Noone on the ball more.

    Leeds 0-1 Derby

    The visitors are forced into a change as Jason Shackell hobbles off after landing awkwardly during an aerial challenge with Sol Bamba - former Stoke defender Ryan Shotton is on for him.

  17. Leeds 0-1 Derbypublished at 20:18

    More action from the referee's pocket than chances right now as Leeds' Luke Murphy is booked for his mistimed sliding challenge.

    Still Jeff Hendrick's first goal of the season the difference between the two sides.

    GOAL (Murphy)published at 20:17

    Brighton 0-1 Ipswich

    And just like that, Ipswich take the lead completely against the run of play. Daryl Murphy takes advantage of a defensive error and advances into the Brighton box to fire home from an acute angle.

  19. Brighton 0-0 Ipswichpublished at 20:16

    Brighton have turned up the pressure, now. The hosts see their celebrations shortlived as Tomer Hemed's close-range tap-in is flagged offside following a terrific save from Dean Gerken.

  20. Leeds 0-1 Derbypublished at 20:15

    Leeds wideman Sam Byram is the first player to receive a yellow card for a foul on Andreas Weimann, shortly followed by Liam Bridcutt after he brought down Jacob Butterfield.

    There are also reports that there's some less than complimentary chanting from the Elland Road crowd being directed at the television company screening tonight's game...
