    It's all a bit scrappy at the moment. If that suits anyone, you would think it would be Fulham.

    Fulham 1-0 Wolves

    Romain Saiss hits a shot high into the end where the Wolves fans are massed and that's the sign for Nuno Espirito Santo to turn to his bench.

    Off come Helder Costa and Alfred N'Diaye and on come top scorer Diogo Jota and teenage midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.

    Fulham make a change too as one-time Wolves loanee Sheyi Ojo replaces Floyd Ayite.

    Aston Villa twice came from behind to beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-2 at Hillsborough and move up to third in the Championship table.

    Manager Steve Bruce told BBC WM:

    "It was some game, we were a bit open in the first half, too open for my liking but I thought we carried a threat.

    "It was a really cracking game and in the end I thought we deserved it, you come away from home and score four goals then you deserve to win.

    "We've given ourselves a chance [of promotion], when I see the thousands of fans who've come here, they must think we have a chance.

    "We've got big momentum going forward, to win eight out of 10 is a remarkable achievement."

    Into the last 30 minutes at Craven Cottage and no real sign of Wolves finding an equaliser at the moment.

    In fact Fulham might have hoped Ryan Sessegnon had done a little better when he found space in the box, but hits his cross too high.

    Fulham have worked their way into this second half. They're beginning to dominate possession again.

    Can they make it count?

    Fulham 1-0 Wolves

    Fulham get a breather following those initial Wolves forward forays as Ivan Cavaleiro trips Floyd Ayite.

    They work the free-kick short to Ayite but his shot never threatens to trouble John Ruddy as it dribbles wide.

    Reading celebrate scoring against DerbyImage source, Empics

    Derby missed out on the chance to close on the Championship's automatic promotion places as they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at Reading. The Rams have conceded at least twice in three successive games.

    Manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Derby:

    "At the moment we can't defend properly, and that's the whole team.

    "It's not just the back four, I don't want it to look like it's just them.

    "We've gone from a period of the season where we've been so resolute and we've not given anything away to where we're just wrapping them up and handing things on a plate to people."

    Fulham 1-0 Wolves

    Fulham's Matt Targett is the first man into referee Peter Bankes' book for what can only be described as a rugby tackle on Helder Costa.

    From the ensuing free-kick, Wolves work the ball to Costa on the edge of the box but his free-kick is well blocked.

    Fulham 1-0 Wolves

    Bright start to the second half for Wolves as Romain Saiss' cross just evades Matt Doherty after Ivan Cavaleiro stretched the Fulham defence.

    Not for the first time this evening, though, Doherty is flagged offside.

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 45 mins

    Fulham get us back under way. I have a feeling this could be an entertaining second half.

    Head coach Jose Morais told BBC Radio Sheffield:

    "I am delighted for what happened today here, for my players, for the work that we have started to do.

    "This is only possible when we believe in things that we are doing, and the number of supporters that I saw here today, I just wanted to say thank you for the support.

    "Don't stop believing, because we will have more days like that."

  16. Severnside derby mind-games in full swingpublished at 18:24 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2018

    Cardiff v Bristol City (Sun, 12:00 GMT)

    As has become tradition in the Championship, Sunday brings a fierce derby for us to enjoy.

    Cardiff boss Neil Warnock, never shy of a word or two, says he has "genuine" bad blood with Bristol City manager Lee Johnson and his father.

    "Lee, he is like his dad [ex-Bristol City manager Gary], he talks a good game, I don't listen to what he says.

    "It will be a decent atmosphere. We'll try and do our best for him."

    Johnson doesn't seem too concerned about the welcome his side can expect, saying the "atmosphere isn't that intimidating at Cardiff".

    "It's a big stadium, there's quite a few empty seats and that's quite surprising given the season that they've had," he told BBC Radio Bristol.

    We'll bring you blow-by-blow updates for the lunchtime clash.
