Ex-England captain at Riverside Stadium, Radio 5 live sports extra

"The roof has just come off here! 

"Brighton conceded a needless free-kick, the ball was played back across and there was Stuani to put it into the back of the goal. 

"And what a selection from Aitor Karanka! Brighton have to keep their heads here..."

What was I saying earlier (see 7 mins entry) about David Nugent and Cristhian Stuani repaying Aitor Karanka's faith?

"Do you know how long it's been since Brighton played in the top flight? Quite a while... because I played against them!

"Good pressure at the moment from the Seagulls. Their 4-4-2 system is working very well and they have settled down. If anything you'd say that Middlesbrough, who have made a few changes, look the more unsettled. 

"Mind you, no real chances as yet and pretty even-stevens. This game needs just one spark of brilliance."

No goals yet in the big game at the Riverside. The visiting side have had the best of it so far, though. 

A handful of goals have gone in around the Championship. Sergi Canos has given Brentford the lead at Huddersfield, Nottingham Forest are 1-0 up at MK Dons thanks to Chris Cohen's goal and David Cotterill has made it Cardiff 0-1 Birmingham. Wolves have a one-goal advantage over Sheffield Wednesday because of a Michael Turner own goal. Blackburn lead Reading 2-0. Elliott Bennett and Danny Graham with the goals.

Alex Neil must be sweating. Nothing to do with the heat of a relegation battle, mind. He's wearing one of those long-sleeve skin tops in about 20C heat. Madness.

Delia is looking more summery, sporting a Canary-coloured floral dress. Another Norwich fanatic looks skywards, eyes closed, demanding some divine inspiration today. That's what this means.

Game on!

Gareth in Watford

Ian Dennis
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter

"Nothing can be settled today in terms of relegation, but time is running out so there's no margin for error. Sunderland are the team with destiny in their own hands. 

"Whoever gets relegated, financially it will be a massive, massive hit. Next season the team that finishes bottom of the Premier League will still receive £90m. 

"Today, therefore, is pivotal."

Drama at Carrow Road! And the game has not even started...

Manchester United striker Anthony Martial pulls up in the warm-up and won't play. A tight hamstring apparently. He will be replaced by Ander Herrera.

Big boost for relegation-threatened Norwich. Big blow for Fantasy Football managers across the land ahead of a double gameweek...

Cold in Teesside?? Come on Terry, you Southern softie. Thought you were harder than that....

"It's a cold old day here, but the atmosphere is white hot. 

"Both sides have had opportunities to secure that automatic promotion spot, but both teams have failed to do it. It shows both clubs have nerves, have weaknesses. 

"Here, it's absolutely bouncing. It's rowdy and raucous."

Boro/Brighton fans - are you ready for a nerve-shredding, rollercoaster 90 minutes? The Championship promotion shootout is under way at the Riverside. Internet rumours that Abba hit 'The Winner Takes It All' was played on the PA system before kick-off are unconfirmed....

Steve Howes: The fun side of relegation - knowing those around you are there because they are fans.

Dan Foye: Being a Newcastle fan in Derbyshire has its perks when you get relegated, loads of close away games again!! #bbcfootball

Nick Gooch: Fun side? Not having kick-off times changing, cheaper away days, more games, more chances to play at Wembley, real fans not corporates.

Ex-England defender at Carrow Road for BBC Radio 5 live

"Fans of Sunderland and Newcastle will not be pleased with that Manchester United team selection. I'd suggest that will have given Norwich quite a big lift. 

"There is a lot of nervousness here, a lot of pressure. I think Norwich do have to win today, because both Newcastle and Sunderland have more momentum."

That explains the absences...

Will it be a Thriller in Manila for these lads?!
