Reading's Tyler Blackett gets the first booking of the night for a foul on Jordan Rhodes.

So close to an equaliser! Morgan Fox smacks the post from the edge of the area.

Reading keeper Ali Al Habsi was beaten.

Normally fairly goal-shy, Reading had failed to score in four of their past five matches in the Championship, including their past three in a row away from home.

But Sheffield Wednesday hadn't kept a clean sheet in their past seven league games and that run of conceding goals has been stretched to eight games already tonight.

Jonathan Hogg is lifted up on the stretcher now, with all four sides of Ashton Gate on their feet applauding as he's taken from the pitch. We all wish the 28-year-old well, needless to say.

Philip Billing is on to replace him, and the players now have the tricky task of having to switch right back on again.

Sam Winnall forces Royals keeper Ali Al Habsi into a save, shortly after Adam Reach had fired wide. The hosts look keen to get back on level terms as quickly as possible after falling behind.

The medics have been on the field for approaching 10 minutes looking after Jonathan Hogg now, with fans, coaches and players all looking on with concern.

Huddersfield boss David Wagner has come on to the field to check on his player, currently being strapped to a stretcher. They exchange a word or two, but the worry on Wagner's face is clear to see.

With as precise a finish as you'll see all weekend, Yann Kermorgant fires Reading into the lead!

He has space on the right, cuts inside and somehow drills it into the bottom corner with aplomb. Superb finishing.

Reading's bright start is rewarded on 13 minutes.

The stretcher is called for and the physios are clearly taking a great deal of care dealing with Jonathan Hogg's neck and back area.

Chelsea loanees Izzy Brown and Tammy Abraham - on opposition teams tonight - are deep in discussion as Terriers boss David Wagner prepares a substitution.

This Sheffield Wednesday fan appears to be getting into the spirit of St Patrick's Day at Hillsborough!

He'll be hoping that Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Keiren Westwood can keep a clean sheet for the hosts tonight.

There's a bit of concern over Huddersfield midfielder Jonathan Hogg here, who's absolutely clattered into his own team-mate Mark Hudson and stayed down.

Both teams' medical staff are on the field attending to Hogg, who'll surely play no further part in this match.

Danny Williams has a chance to shoot for a second time, after a swift Reading counter, but from the edge of the area he sends his effort way, way off target. An opportunity for the Royals goes begging.

It's been a decent opening five minutes or so at Ashton Gate, with both sides getting in behind the opposition full-backs already.

First Elias Kachunga gets down the right-hand side, but can't pick out a team-mate with a low cross along the edge of the six-yard area, and then Callum O'Dowda stretches his legs down the left only for his attempted centre to drift out on the far side.

An even start.

Reading's Danny Williams earns the visitors the first corner of the night as his shot is deflected well wide.

The subsequent delivery goes too deep, way beyond everybody and out on the far side for a Sheffield Wednesday throw.

It's the home side who get us up and running in south Bristol, kicking towards the visiting supporters in the Atyeo Stand in this first half.

There's an early sighter from Lee Tomlin inside the opening 20 seconds, too, attempting a ridiculous first-time volley from long range which flies miles over the bar.

The hosts get play under way at Hillsborough, where the atmosphere is red hot.

Right then, the two sets of players are on their way out onto the lush Ashton Gate turf and we're only a stone's throw away from kick-off now.

Bristol City are in their familiar all-red kit, Huddersfield in their change florescent yellow and black strip.

The teams are out at Hillsborough too.

This time last week we were all just about getting our heads around the departure of Alex Neil from Norwich City. As it turns out, that was just the beginning of a mad week of managerial ins and outs in the Championship.

In the last seven days alone there have been five departures or arrivals in the second tier, with Steve McClaren and Warren Joyce both finding themselves out of work by close of play on Monday.

Less than 24 hours later two Championship vacancies had been filled, and it's left us with one of the most talked-about EFL derbies of recent years at the City Ground tomorrow.

Gary Rowett and his new Derby County troops will be making the short trip up the A52 to take on Mark Warburton's Nottingham Forest - and, needless to say, you'll be able to follow the action live here on the BBC Sport website.

So, Huddersfield have the chance to close the gap on the leaders tonight.

Leeds, Reading and Sheffield Wednesday fans may well argue otherwise, but you'd be forgiven for starting to think that it will be two from the top three to go up.

In the play-off mix, with Wednesday and the Royals separated by just two points before tonight's game at Hillsborough, you can see from the as-it-stands table above why it is such a crucial game for both sides.

Newcastle, Brighton, Leeds and Fulham fans will be looking on tonight with great interest...
