    Bristol City 0-1 Birmingham

    The Robins are launching balls into the Birmingham box.

    A couple of minutes plus stoppage time remain.

    The Blues are taking any chances they can to win the clock down whenever play breaks down.

    Brentford 1-3 Blackburn

    With the hosts now down to 10 men, Blackburn look like they'll win, with two minutes left.

    But they'd need three more goals to go above Nottingham Forest on goal difference.

    So the Rovers fans are listening to their radios intently now.

    It really, simply, all hinges on the action at Ashton Gate.

  4. As it standspublished at 13:46 British Summer Time 7 May 2017

    Here's the latest table with about five minutes to go in our three games at the bottom of the Championship.

    Despite Birmingham being 19th at the moment, they're in most danger. If they concede at Bristol City, they'll be in the relegation zone.

  5. SUBSTITUTION (Birmingham)published at 13:45 British Summer Time 7 May 2017

    Bristol City 0-1 Birmingham

    Less than six minutes left for Birmingham to hold on now. They take off goal scorer Che Adams and bring on midfielder Stephen Gleeson, in an attempt to see the game out.

    Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton

    Brighton make a change with Bruno making way for Liam Rosenior.

    Villa have enjoyed some possession since going behind but haven't created any chances as good as those they had before the Seagulls scored.

    Bristol City 0-1 Birmingham

    With Blackburn and Forest now both looking very much on course to win, all eyes are on Ashton Gate, where Birmingham will only stay up if they hold onto their slender lead.

    Craig Conway buries it. But they still need a Bristol City goal to change things.

  9. PENALTY TO BLACKBURNpublished at 13:41 British Summer Time 7 May 2017

    Brentford 1-2 Blackburn

    Rovers have the chance to go 3-1 up and Brentford's Harlee Dean is sent off too.

    Newcastle 2-0 Barnsley

    Newcastle are firmly on top and Jonjo Shelvey nearly made it 3-0 moments before he was subbed off.

    The England international hit the post with a fine shot from range.

    The Magpies are doing all they can but it looks like they'll have to settle for second.

    Birmingham fans, how are your nerves?! Your team have got around 12 minutes left to hold on.

    And Bristol City are having a real go.

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 13:38 British Summer Time 7 May 2017

    Brentford 1-2 Blackburn

    Rovers want a penalty as Craig Conway is brought down in the area. The referee says no, but you've seen them given...

    Conway is actually booked for simulation.

    Brentford 1-2 Blackburn

    Even the most optimistic Blackburn fan surely doesn't think they will score three more goals, to overtake Forest on goal difference.

    So, their hopes now rest on a) themselves holding on to their lead at Brentford and also, critically, b) Birmingham conceding at Bristol City. That has to happen for Rovers to have any hope.

    46 rounds of games and the relegation battle comes down to this...

    Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton

    Former Villa man Steve Sidwell has had a couple of chances today.

    The veteran midfielder makes another late run into the box but again can't direct his header on target.

    Hard to see a way back for Villa now.

    Sub Tommy Elphick, who has endured a difficult season at Villa Park, nearly plays in Glenn Murray but the chance comes to nothing.

    A second Brighton goal will surely see them take the title.

    Bristol City 0-1 Birmingham

    And Bristol City are really on the front foot at Ashton Gate.

    Birmingham are safe as it stands but they'll have to hold out! Less than 20 minutes to go.

    So now the focus at the bottom is surely on these two games.

    If it stays like this, Blackburn are going down.

    But if Birmingham concede, they would slip below Blackburn and into the bottom three. How tense is this?!

    Forest home and dry?published at 13:30 British Summer Time 7 May 2017

    Nottingham Forest 3-0 Ipswich

    Britt Assombalonga atones for his missed penalty moments ago as he powers in his second of the game.

    Blackburn would now need four more goals to relegate Forest as it stands, so the Reds look well on their way to safety.

  19. Brighton heading for titlepublished at 13:28 British Summer Time 7 May 2017

    Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton

    Brighton take the lead through Glenn Murray's coolly taken penalty.

    Sam Baldock had been brought down in the area by Nathan Baker and it looks like a long, long way back for 10-man Villa now.
