Close to a third goal for Bristol City to almost wrap up the game.

Corey Smith seemed set to provide it with only Ali Al Habsi to beat, but the Oman international saves Reading's blushes with a close-range save.

Action right from the off at Ashton Gate as Tyler Blackett concedes a penalty for Reading by bundling into Callum O'Dowda...

Action resumes up and down the land for the second halves.

What will the top six and bottom six of all three divisions look like come just before 17:00 GMT?

Strong finish to that first half from Reading as Yann Kermorgant again nearly found a way through the Bristol City defence.

But, it's the home side who lead courtesy of Tammy Abraham's goal.

Job done so far for Blackburn, but goalkeeper Jason Steele has saved well from Dwight Gayle when the Newcastle striker was put through by Gouffran.

The race to 20 goals continues for Gayle. Newcastle prodding and probing, Blackburn so far have been resolute. 

Reading go close to grabbing an equaliser right on the stroke of half-time.

Searching cross from Tyler Blackett finds the head of Yann Kermorgant who leaps above the home side's defenders, but his effort hits the crossbar.

Still little for Rafa Benitez to shout about as we approach half-time at Ewood Park.

Blackburn are forced into a change as Craig Conway makes way due to injury and is replaced by Sam Gallagher.

It was a tough 2016 for Coventry City and their fans but can they turn the tide in 2017?

Marcus Tudgay has given Russell Slade's strugglers a surprise lead against second-in-the-table Bolton.

Elsewhere in League One, Northampton have taken the lead against Bradford thanks to Alex Revell's goal and Charlton have equalised at home to Bristol Rovers.

It's fair to say Brighton have their backs against the wall at Fulham this afternoon, but thanks to David Stockdale's penalty save they are still level.

Little in terms of a response so far from Reading to falling behind to that earlier Tammy Abraham goal.

Danny Williams is almost on the end of a searching cross into the area, but didn't anticipate the ball coming through to him in space at the back post so the chance goes begging.

Still goalless at Ewood Park as we move into the last 10 minutes of the first half.

Blackburn keeping their shape while not seeing much of the ball, Newcastle pinging it around in midfield, but yet to carve the hosts open.

Meanwhile, after six straight defeats, could QPR be heading for back-to-back wins? Idrissa Sylla has given them the lead over Ipswich.

Carlisle have taken the lead against Grimsby Town thanks to Charlie Wyke's goal and that sees them top the table... For the time being.

Elsewhere in League Two Mansfield have taken the lead at Blackpool and Portsmouth and Crawley are 1-0 up against Luton and Yeovil respectively.

Leeds are starting to come into the game a bit more but are yet to force Rotherham goalkeeper Lewis Price into a real save. Victory today could see them go third.
