Leeds win a soft free-kick mid-way into the Newcastle half, near the right-hand touchline. They'll launch the ball into the box from there.

Leeds' Pontus Jansson jumps for a header with Aleksandar Mitrovic and they appear to accidentally clash heads. Jansson seems to have come off slightly worse. He gets some treatment and comes back on.

It should be a fascinating tussle between those two tonight.

Who is going to land the first blow, then? Well, Newcastle have opened the scoring more often than any other Championship team this term (29 times), yet they are coming up against the player to score the first goal more often than anyone else in Chris Wood (14).

The Magpies have arguably started the brighter tonight though.

The home side are straight into the Leeds penalty area, but Ayoze Perez is crowded out and the ball bounces off him for a goal kick.

Newcastle get this game under way.

The Leeds players get together for a huddle. We're almost ready to start...

Here comes the teams, with the hosts in their traditional black & white, while Leeds are in their all blue kit.

After Blackburn's win at Nottingham Forest, tonight's hosts Burton are now just two points above the relegation zone.

Visitors Ipswich aren't much further above the Brewers, sitting six points clear of 22nd-placed Rovers.

In fact, just 10 points separate 23rd-placed Wigan and 16th-placed QPR. In theory, nobody within that zone is out of danger yet.

Thanks, Steve. Good evening, everyone. So, after wins for Huddersfield and Brighton, the pressure at the top switches back to Newcastle, who host Leeds from 19:45 BST.

The Magpies are seven points above third-placed Huddersfield, with five games remaining.

Meanwhile, Leeds might just be looking over their shoulders all of a sudden, with seventh-placed Fulham in red-hot form, as their play-off place is certainly not yet secure.

As well as the potential drama at St James' Park, Burton host Ipswich, with neither team yet safe from relegation. We're in for a terrific night of football.

Right, thanks for your company this afternoon during the Wolves v Brighton game.

I'm off for now and will leave you in the very capable hands of Tom Garry who will guide you through this evening's two remaining Championship games.

Derby County's hopes of reaching the play-offs are all but over following a 4-0 thrashing at Brentford.

Derby manager Gary Rowett: "It's not been a good enough season so far for Derby and now we have to do something about it.

"It would be easy for me to talk about things we didn't do well but Brentford are an excellent side and they have beaten a lot of sides comfortably here.

"It's easy to for me to talk them up after four games but our standards were nowhere near good enough today."

Danny Ward scored late to deny Birmingham victory and leave Gianfranco Zola's side four points above the relegation zone.

Birmingham boss Gianfranco Zola: "Why should I leave before the end of the season? I don't leave things undone. I can handle the situation so why should I leave? 

"We have four games to play. We need those points to be safe, then we will focus on next season. Then I will say things that have to be said. 

"At the end of the season I will say a few things and we will assess the situation. I will be the first one to take the responsibility for things. 

"I am not happy. I have not been happy for a long time, I am waiting for the break but it is difficult to get it."

Victory over QPR, thanks to goals from Marlon Pack and Jamie Paterson, saw Bristol City earn back-to-back victories and stay four points clear of the Championship relegation zone.  

Bristol City boss Lee Johnson: "I thought our performance was excellent. We had chances to extend our lead.

"I was disappointed to concede but that will ensure we keep our pencil sharp in future.

"We've got a massive game now on Monday at Blackburn and we have to keep up our last two performances."

Tommie Hoban's late winner saw Blackburn beat Nottingham Forest to keep alive their survival hopes.

Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray: "I am not going to get too emotional because one result does not mean very much to us yet. 

"Our target over Easter was to get six points from the two games. 

"We felt that we had to get that, following a bad weekend last weekend, when everyone else around us won."

Fernando Forestieri's late goal saw Sheffield Wednesday beat Cardiff to hold on to the final play-off place.

Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal: "The players never lost their cool, they waited for the moment and scored a very important goal.

"It was a very important win for us, our fans were amazing again, they understood we must be patient but we are all happy now.

"It wasn't easy to play, they are a very physical side but it was important not to panic, the substitutions were very important."

Collin Quaner's stoppage-time winner kept alive Huddersfield's faint hopes of automatic promotion as they beat Preston.

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner: "This was a hell of a win. Real entertainment with a happy and deserved win for us.

"We gave ourselves a mountain to climb but the players climbed it. We played well and did everything right.

 "The crowd made another step today, which is saying something given the level they have started at."
