    Peter: The movement off the ball is first class. The tempo of play is almost impossible to defend. Yet all the Blades have is team spirit?!

    It's hard to ignore how well Sheffield United are playing right now - they're heading for an eighth win in their past 10 league matches, and moving clear in second place in the Championship.

    Ivan Cavaleiro (44 mins)

    A little against the run of play in the first half, Championship leaders Wolves take the lead against Preston.

    A deflected shot from Ivan Cavaleiro finds the net just before half-time. Scrappy, but who cares if you're a Wolves fan?

    Sunderland complete the turnaroundpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 21 October 2017

    Brentford 1-2 Sunderland

    Having been a goal down at Griffin Park, Sunderland now lead at Brentford.

    Bees goalkeeper Daniel Bentley could only palm Bryan Oviedo's corner into his own net. A welcome slice of fortune for the Black Cats.

    Sheffield United 2-0 Reading

    Reading finally produce a chance of sorts at Bramall Lane - Roy Beerens takes a punt from distance with his right foot from 20 yards out, but can't hit the target as it swings wide.

    Bristol City 0-2 Leeds United

    Leeds still very much in control of this one, Pierre-Michel Lasogga is the latest player to go close to finding the net.

    Frank Fielding has to be on his guard to get down low and save the striker's shot from outside the box. Little joy for Bristol City fans so far, after an early double from Samuel Saiz.

    Wolves 0-0 Preston

    Preston have learned the lessons of Aston Villa's demise at Molineux last weekend, closing down Wolves players at every opportunity and not allowing them any time to pass the ball.

    They've been the better side and they've had chances, but North End haven't broken through yet.
