    Incredibly, QPR almost equalise straight from kick-off, but Luke Freeman shoots straight at the goalkeeper when well placed in the area.

    Darren Campbell: My bogey ground as an #itfc, external fan? Forest, actually. Been eight times. No wins. Conceded stoppage time equalisers in two of them!

    We're after the grounds you hate going to as an away fan.

    Just as well Nottingham Forest have a good record against Ipswich. They needed to beat them on the last day of last season to avoid relegation to League One.

    HT: Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Sunderland

    Football clubs do love a quirkily-timed transfer announcement. Tonight, 10 minutes before kick-off, it was Sheffield Wednesday's turn.

    The Owls have signed defender Frederico Venancio on a season-long loan from Vitoria Setubal.

    Centre-back Venancio, 24, has captained Vitoria for the past three seasons, making 134 appearances in total for the Portuguese Primeira Liga side.

    The former Portugal Under-21 international impressed during a pre-season friendly between the two teams.

    Craig David Donovan: Norwich playing much better tonight with the ball. Lovely crowd too. They're up for this.

    Geoff Ramm: Argghhh. Zero wifi. No radio. Cornwall storms. Where is teletext for my Black Cats when I need it

    You don't need Ceefax, Geoff, you've got us!

    Sheffield Wednesday are going to have to come back from behind if they're to record their first league win of the season tonight.

    They trail at the break after George Honeyman's fourth-minute opener.

    After weathering a bit of a storm the hosts are finishing the half on top.

    Entertaining enough, but sadly no goals to write home about from Carrow Road at half-time.

    Norwich 0-0 QPR

    This is a bit more like it from QPR!

    Conor Washington wriggles clear out wide and delivers a cross towards Jamie Mackie, but the forward can only loop a header onto the roof of the net.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Sunderland

    Home goalkeeper Keiren Westwood is forced into a fine save from Brendan Galloway.

    Westwood will feel he could have done better for Sunderland's early opener through George Honeyman.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Sunderland

    Sheffield Wednesday full-back Jack Hunt is down for the second time this match and may need to go off.

    He went down with a knock in the opening minutes before Sunderland took a fourth-minute lead.

    He's staying on for the time being.

  16. Postpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 16 August 2017

    Norwich 0-0 QPR

    The men in yellow continue to pile forward, with Jake Biidwell hacking Mario Vrancic's low show away.

    Like Sunderland, will Norwich be made to pay for their profligacy?

  17. Postpublished at 20:18 British Summer Time 16 August 2017

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 Sunderland

    Sunderland again go close to a second.

    This time it's Lewis Grabban who can't keep his header on target from an Aiden McGeady set-piece delivery.

    Could the Black Cats end up ruing these missed chances?

    Nik Ayre: As a Villa fan it has to be Villa Park

    Russell Adams: Turf Moor. I hate getting splinters. Wooden seats are from the 1960's.

    We're after the grounds you dread visiting as an away fan.

    Paul and Nik using the famed West Midlands gallows humour to help them cope with Aston Villa's poor start to the season.

    Worth noting that Russell's a Blackburn fan by the way...

    Norwich 0-0 QPR

    It's still goalless at Carrow Road, but Norwich are also still knocking on the QPR door.

    Josh Murphy gets into a threatening position out wide, but his cross is cleared from inside the six-yard box.

    Norwich 0-0 QPR

    After a really bright start from Rangers, Norwich are now well on top - and nearly take an early lead but Marcel Franke's effort is blocked from point-blank range.

    Moments later, Josh Murphy forces Alex Smithies into another decent save with a curling effort after cutting in from the left.
