    Sheffield United 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Sheffield United are really going for this.

    The Blades are pushing to double their lead inside the first 10 minutes, but John Lundstram can't keep his shot down.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Cardiff City

    A game of head tennis in the Aston Villa box leads to some nerves amongst the home crowd but Cardiff fail to capitalise as it goes out for a goal kick.

    Very much a calm start at Villa Park so far. No falling out on the touchline, either...yet.

    Harry Wilson (5 mins)

    A big goal at the bottom of the Championship, as Harry Wilson curls a low shot into the corner to put Hull in front against Burton.

    The Tigers started seven points above the bottom three, so one more win should be enough to keep them up.

    Fulham 0-0 Reading

    For those hoping for a free-flowing game at Craven Cottage tonight, recent history is not on our side.

    Neither side has been able to score more than one goal in each of the past four meetings between Fulham and Reading.

    No chances in the first couple of minutes.

    Liverpool take a 3-0 lead into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

    A comeback seems improbable, but if any team can do it, it's free-scoring City.

    Wolves v Derby (Wednesday, 19:45 BST)

    It's getting closer, Wolves fans.

    Friday's dramatic 1-0 win at Cardiff left Nuno Espirito Santo's side needing just five points from their final five games to secure a spot in next season's Premier League.

    They could wrap up automatic promotion as early as Wednesday IF Fulham drop points at home to Reading tonight and Wanderers beat Derby at Molineux tomorrow.

    We'll have live text coverage of that match on the BBC Sport website and app on Wednesday from 19:30 BST.

    The pick of tonight's fixtures in the play-off race? Sheffield United v Middlesbrough.

    Tony Pulis' side are currently sixth in the table while Sheffield United are three points behind in ninth. Just four points separate the two teams.

    Three points would go a long way to boosting Chris Wilder's Blades' top six hopes, while a Boro win would help cement their chances of a play-off spot. Game on!

    Aston Villa's season may have gone a bit pear-shaped but their supporters can seek solace in one stat this evening.

    Neil Warnock has lost all six of his away Football League meetings with Villa boss Steve Bruce.

    This has happened with different clubs - Bury, Sheffield United, Leeds United, Crystal Palace, Rotherham and finally Cardiff.

    Three points confirmed?

  15. A must-win game?published at 19:35 British Summer Time 10 April 2018

    Aston Villa v Cardiff City (19:45 BST)

    No pressure, Cardiff City fans. The business end of the season's here and, if missing two stoppage-time penalties against Wolves on Friday wasn't enough, it could get worse tonight.

    The Bluebirds will drop out of the Championship's top two if they fail to beat Aston Villa tonight and Fulham win at home to relegation-threatened Reading.

    Neil Warnock's side are now nine points behind leaders Wolves, who play Derby tomorrow night.

    Question is, will Neil Warnock be falling out with another manager this evening...

    Criticism is part and parcel at any football club - successful or otherwise. But Bolton boss Phil Parkinson says his side must look past that as they battle relegation.

    "You have to be bigger than that. You can't say 'we've had a bit of criticism and it's affected us today'," Parkinson said after their 3-0 defeat by Derby.

    "If it did get the lads' back up, then we've got to show a response by winning enough games to keep us in the division."

    Can they end their three-game losing run and extend their two-point gap on the relegation places with a win against Millwall this evening?

  18. Will Fulham's unbeaten run continue?published at 19:31 British Summer Time 10 April 2018

    Fulham v Reading (19:45 BST)

    Slavisa Jokanovic's Fulham are enjoying one hell of a season, you have to say. The Whites have not lost in the Championship since their 1-0 defeat by Sunderland on 16 December.

    It's not just the Championship which they have dazzled with their club-record lossless run. Their 19-game current unbeaten sequence is the longest in English league football.

    Could that be 20 games come this evening? Reading face them, needing victory themselves as they aim to pull away from the relegation zone.

  19. Black Cats give Coleman 'different feeling'published at 19:28 British Summer Time 10 April 2018

    Sunderland v Norwich (19:45 BST)

    There probably aren't many people backing Sunderland to avoid relegation, but manager Chris Coleman hasn't given up hope yet.

    The Black Cats have taken four points from their past three games, keeping them in Bolton and Birmingham's rear-view mirrors.

    "Some of the performances we've shown, the fans won't follow us for that, and nor should they," he told BBC Newcastle.

    "From the last three games, it's a completely different feeling and a different look.

    "All we can do is continue that and we'll give ourselves an outside chance of doing something."
