    Bolton 0-2 Wolves

    That Leeds goal will be welcomed at the Macron Stadium, where the hosts are unbeaten in their past 10 home matches against Wolves in all competitions since a 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup in 1999.

    But it'd take a mammoth effort from here for Bolton to win today against title-bound Wolves.

    Sunderland 1-0 Burton

    With Sunderland still winning, coupled with scorelines elsewhere, the Black Cats can't go down today as things stand.

    But Burton have started the second half brightly.

    Birmingham 1-1 Sheff Utd

    At St Andrew's, Lukas Jutkiewicz has a header saved moments after the restart, as Garry Monk's side bid for a win that could move them further away from the relegation zone.

  5. Second halfpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 21 April 2018

    So then, 45 minutes to go.

    Wolves are going to clinch the Championship title as things stand.

    At the other end, can Burton turn things around at the Stadium of Light?

    Luton's promotion champagne is staying on ice as it stands. The Hatters trail 1-0 at Carlisle while Exeter City have come from a goal behind to go in 1-1 at the break with Crawley.

    It's a much more straightforward situation for already promoted Accrington, they're 2-0 up at Wycombe and look to be cruising to the title.

    The picture at the bottom is... complicated. Forest Green are drawing with bottom-of-the table Chesterfield but with Grimsby leading at Swindon and Morecambe drawing at Crewe a winner for Forest Green would see the Spireites relegated today. Second-from-bottom Barnet lead Newport but the other scorelines leave their prospects looking bleak.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 21 April 2018

    Sunderland 1-0 Burton

    As half-time whistles begin to sound around the grounds, the atmosphere remains pretty subdued at the Stadium of Light, despite the hosts leading.

    There's some faint optimism there, for sure, but it remains faint.

  14. MISSED PENALTY (Brentford)published at 15:47 British Summer Time 21 April 2018

    Brentford 1-0 QPR

    Having been brought down in the area, Ollie Watkins has the perfect opportunity to double Brentford's lead in the west London derby against QPR... but his penalty is saved.

    So, the bad news for Bolton fans (and maybe Reading fans too) is that Birmingham and Barnsley are both back on terms, while Sunderland are on course for a vital three points as things stand.

    Bolton themselves are still trailing at home to title-bound Wolves.

  16. RED CARD (Ipswich)published at 15:43 British Summer Time 21 April 2018

    Ipswich 0-1 Aston Villa

    Things have got a little bit harder for Ipswich - they are down to 10 men as Grant Ward sees a straight red for his late challenge on Neil Taylor.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Fleetwood 0-2 Wiganpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 21 April 2018

    Gavin Massey (37 mins)

    Well, this is going very smoothly now.

    League One leaders Wigan score their second goal in four minutes as Gavin Massey whips in a cool low finish.

  19. Postpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 21 April 2018

    Wow, big goals are flying in all over the place across the EFL.
