  1. CLOSE!published at 21:38 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Cardiff City 2-1 Barnsley

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing strikes the base of the post for Cardiff!

  2. RED CARD for Bristol Citypublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Preston 2-1 Bristol City

    Aden Flint has been sent off in the 91st minute after lashing out.

  3. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:36 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Sheff Wed 1-2 Ipswich

    Martyn Waghorn's brace means Sheffield Wednesday are still looking over their shoulders.

    It's now just one win in 10 league games for Jos Luhukay - though sub Lucas Joao did score for the hosts.

  4. Postpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Birmingham 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Is that Birmingham's final chance?

    Sam Gallagher heads at all but it lacks any power and it goes wide of the Boro goal.

    Not enough.

    Sunderland 0-3 Aston Villa

    This game is going through the motions now.

    Just a couple of minutes left, plus stoppage time, before Sunderland are put out of their misery.

    The only chink of light - all of their relegation rivals are losing as well.

  6. Postpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Cardiff City 2-1 Barnsley

    Craig Bryson scuffs wide on the break, spurning an excellent chance to wrap up the points for Cardiff.

    Five minutes of added time to come.

  7. A precious win for Rochdalepublished at 21:33 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Walsall 0-3 Rochdale

    Mihai-Alexandru Dobre has scored his first goal for Rochdale to secure just their second away win of the season.

    They will move off the bottom of League One past Bury with this vital win.

    Late equaliser for QPR!

    Luke Freeman dinks in a free-kick and Massimo Luongo is left in acres of space to bullet in a header.

    Not ideal for Derby on a night when most of their promotion rivals are winning.

  9. Postpublished at 21:31 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Birmingham 0-1 Middlesbrough

    What, if anything, do Birmingham have left in the tank?

    Stewart Downing misses a chance to double Boro's lead at the back post, while the hosts have struggled to create too much.

    A Blues goal would be massive for Garry Monk in more ways than one.

  10. Postpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Cardiff City 2-1 Barnsley

    Barnsley are seeing lots of the ball and are still pressing for an equaliser.

    Neil Etheridge saves from Brad Potts before Kiefer Moore is booked for his challenge on the goalkeeper.

  11. Postpublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Reading 1-1 Bolton

    Craig Noone and Jem Karacan are on for Bolton as they search for an equaliser.

  12. No shocks in the Championshippublished at 21:27 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    It's been a bad night for the teams in relegation danger.

    The bottom five sides - Sunderland, Burton, Birmingham, Barnsley and Hull - are all losing.

    Championship leaders Wolves will be looking over their shoulder too. Cardiff will close the gap to three points if they hold on against Barnsley and Aston Villa are also sniffing around.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:26 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Preston 2-1 Bristol City

    Wonderful reactions from Declan Rudd. The Preston keeper makes himself big and blocks Bobby Reid's close-range volley from Josh Brownhill's deep cross to keep his side in front.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Sheff Wed 1-2 Ipswichpublished at 21:25 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Martyn Waghorn (83 mins)

    A gorgeous free kick has the visitors ahead once more.

    That strike had some whip on it - Martyn Waghorn gets his second of the game and the Owls are once again in strife.

    It didn't look like a obvious place to shoot from but it was some effort, and intentional.

  15. goal

    GOAL: Hull 1-2 Millwallpublished at 21:25 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Abel Hernandez (80 mins)

    Minutes after coming on for his first appearance since August, Abel Hernandez scores!

    False dawn for Hull or could it be a turning point in their season?

    Either way it was a predatory finish from close range.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Burton Albion 0-2 Brentfordpublished at 21:24 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Ollie Watkins (80 mins)

    A goal with the first shot on target!

    He assisted the first goal and he has scored the second. Ollie Watkins cuts inside from the left-hand side and rolls a scuffed shot into the bottom corner.

    Fulham 3-0 Sheff Utd

    Aleksandar Mitrovic is unsurprisingly sniffing around for a hat-trick goal, to send yet another message to his parent club Newcastle.

    His latest attempt is a volley from 18 yards, but it swerves just wide - I reckon there'll be more attempts to come from the Serbian.

  18. Postpublished at 21:22 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Preston 2-1 Bristol City

    Sean Maguire had only been on the pitch for seven minutes when he scored a goal Lee Johnson will be furious about.

    As it stands, with Middlesbrough winning at Birmingham, Bristol City are dropping out of the play-offs. Can they rally in the closing stages?

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Cardiff City 2-1 Barnsley

    Barnsley are pushing for an equaliser and they've brought on Ryan Hedges for Mamadou Thiam in search of a goal.

  20. Postpublished at 21:18 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2018

    Fulham 3-0 Sheff Utd

    With the result beyond doubt, can the Blades at least be the first visiting side to score at Craven Cottage in five games?

    Ched Evans comes close, heading Ricky Holmes' cross wide.
