    There have been 130 goals in Fulham's 41 Championship games so far this season.

    The Whites last drew 0-0 at table-topping Middlesbrough on 17 October... 

    They've dominated proceedings so far but we're yet to see anyone really threaten either goal.

    Hull 1-1 Wolves

    It's a painful night so far for Hull full-back Moses Odubajo.

    He's been on the end of two lunging tackles by Wolves players, firstly by George Saville in the build-up to Jack Price's chance, and now by James Henry.

    Who's your player of the year?

    Plenty of you questioning how Middlesbrough midfielder Adam Clayton was left off the Championship's player of the year shortlist.

    The 27-year-old has made 43 appearances this season and has been at the heart of Boro's rise to the top of the table.

    Dave Edwards (19 mins)

    Seconds after Jack Price goes close for the visitors, Wolves are level through captain Dave Edwards.

    The Wales international is left unmarked from Jeremy Helan's cross and heads past Allan McGregor from six yards out.

    Brighton 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham might be down at the wrong end of the table but they've taken 10 points from their last four games and are dominating possession so far.

    Striker Ross McCormack had the first shot on target a few minutes ago but Brighton keeper David Stockdale saved comfortably from the Scot's low effort.

    This is the best start from an away side I've seen here this season. Brighton don't know how to cope with their passing. Fulham are using crisp passing and creating space. Brighton need to get onto the ball.

    When you're struggling, it doesn't half help when your opposition gift you a goal inside the first five minutes.

    Hull have won once during that poor run of league form mentioned above, which has seen them slip 10 points behind the automatic promotion spots in the Championship.

    No early goalmouth action of which to speak down on the south coast.

    There's been quite a lot of rainfall and both teams are getting used to the way the ball is playing on the heavy pitch.

    Deary me, that's a howler from Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme.

    Centre-back Dominic Iorfa doesn't clear a through ball and Ikeme spills it as he tries to gather, gifting Adama Diomande the chance to turn the ball into an empty net from 12 yards.

    A dream start for Hull.

    Brighton v Fulham (19:45 BST)

    Three of Brighton's remaining five fixtures are at home, as they bid to win automatic promotion to the Premier League.

    "The home games mean a lot, even though we have done well on the road," said manager Chris Hughton. "We now have a great chance to get some early points on the board due to the fixture rearrangements.

    "However, most teams find when playing at home there is more of a pressure to win, the game has changed and away teams tend to get good results."

    Fulham make three changes to the side that picked up a vital 2-1 win over Cardiff on Saturday, with Ryan Fredericks, Tim Ream and Jamie O'Hara all coming in for the Whites.

    Hull manager Steve Bruce has conceded that it is a tough ask for his team to finish in the top two.

    "We've had an awful run just at the wrong time, although we'll never give up of course," said Bruce, whose side have won only one of their last eight league games.

    "The run has disappointed us all and we've got six league games to secure a play-off place.

    "That's got to be the main thing on the agenda - find some form and go into the play-offs."

    It appears to be two from three in terms of winning automatic promotion to the Premier League. Brighton will go second if they beat Fulham this evening.

    As for the play-offs, there's a five-point gap between Sheffield Wednesday and seventh-placed Cardiff, so it will take a mighty collapse for any of the sides currently inside the top six to fall out of contention.

    Welcome to another Friday night of Championship action, with two of the major promotion contenders looking to enhance their chances of reaching the Premier League.

    Brighton still have sights on a top-two finish and a home win over Fulham will take them above Burnley into second place.

    A poor run of form has seen Hull almost certainly slip out of contention for automatic promotion, but victory against Wolves this evening will create a 10-point gap to seventh-placed Cardiff.
