    Wolves have the best chance of the game so far, out of absolutely nothing.

    Birmingham City v Sheffield Wednesday (19:45 BST)

    The EFL and Birmingham City say they are working on a resolution after it was confirmed there will be no goal-line technology available for tonight's game against Sheffield Wednesday.

    Goal-line technology was introduced for all Championship fixtures at the start of the season, but low floodlight level values at St Andrew's will prevent the system from operating properly.
