    Huddersfield 0-0 Reading

    Another shot for Huddersfield, though it's not one Elias Kachunga will wish to remember.

    The striker gets the ball inside the box, but rushes his effort as he tries to drive the ball in at the near post, only to see it go sailing harmlessly wide.

    Reading have offered very little going forward so far.

    Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    "Huddersfield have looked technically better on the ball. They have seemed more refined in possession. But Reading looked dangerous on the break when they won possession just then. They had six players breaking forward.

    "But neither midfield has really been able to get their foot on the ball."

    Huddersfield 0-0 Reading

    Best chance of the game so far.

    Huddersfield's Rajiv van La Parra strikes at goal from 25 yards out, the ball whistling narrowly wide of Reading keeper Ali Al Habsi's goal.

    Derby 0-0 Burton

    As we mentioned earlier, Nigel Clough is back at Derby for a local derby against his Burton side this evening.

    Derby have had the majority of possession, and Rams winger Thomas Ince has sent a shot from the edge of the box just wide of the post, but it remains goalless.

    Dan Washbourne: Huddersfield are one of the most exciting teams this season, would be breath of fresh air in the Premier League as opposed to the usual yo-yo clubs.

    Martin Clark: It won't matter who the new manager is at Blackburn. Until the owners change, nothing will improve at Ewood.

    A win for Reading at Huddersfield will take the Royals third in the Championship and create a 12-point cushion between themselves and Norwich in seventh place.

    If four Championship games aren't enough, there's also six matches across Leagues One and Two taking place tonight.

    The pick of the fixtures in League One sees sixth-placed Southend host ninth-placed Peterborough, while fellow play-off chasers Millwall take on struggling Chesterfield at the Den.

    In League Two, Colchester travel to Wycombe, with both teams still in the play-off race.

  19. Five in a row for Owls?published at 19:23 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2017

    Sheffield Wednesday v Brentford (19:45 GMT)

    Only Huddersfield have taken more points than Sheffield Wednesday in their last five games, with Carlos Carvalhal's side winning four games in a row after a 2-2 draw at Bristol City.

    The Owls are sixth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Leeds, and will climb to fourth with victory over Brentford tonight.

    The visitors' recent form is far from impressive, with just four points from a possible 15 in their last five games.

    A loss, coupled with victory for Wigan against QPR, would leave the Bees looking nervously over their shoulders, only five points clear of the drop. 

  20. Relegation battle at Loftus Roadpublished at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2017

    QPR had been on a five-game winless run, but they snapped that slump in convincing fashion with a 4-1 win at Birmingham City.

    Another victory tonight would leave Ian Holloway's side 10 points above the relegation zone and ease their worries as they enter the closing stages of the season.

    Visitors Wigan are two points adrift of safety as they make the trip to Loftus Road, but with four points from their last two games, the Latics aren't going down without a fight.
