    GOAL: Coventry 2-0 Bradfordpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 19 April 2019

    Bright Enobakhare (88 mins)

    And that should be that.

    Bright Enobakhare doubles the lead for the Sky Blues, collecting the ball from a Liam Kelly pass and finding the net.

    It's looking like seven defeats in a row for Bradford which has not happened since December 2002.

    It is a landmark day for Swansea City, who play the 4,000th league game in their history against Rotherham United at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

    But will there be a landmark result for the visitors?

    Paul Warne's team have toiled on their travels all season, winning just once - at QPR in March - in 2018-19.

    With the games running out in the race to avoid relegation to League One, Warne will hope so.

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 14:47 British Summer Time 19 April 2019

    Millwall 1-1 Brentford

    The ball's been in the net at The Den but it won't count!

    Kamohelo Mokotjo turned the ball in for Brentford but he is ruled offside.

    At the other end Jed Wallace's chipped ball towards Tom Elliott comes back off the bar.

    Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told Sky Sports:

    "We said all along they are tough games in the Championship.

    "They are a good side with an experienced manager so it was good to get in front, close the game out and get back to what we do.

    "The reason they went down to 10 men was because we were positive and trying to drive forward and score goals.

    "They sat in and made it difficult then but never really looked like threatening. To get the second calmed everyone down.

    "It's been a great effort by everyone and we are not done yet. It's been a tough week but we came roaring back."

  8. RED CARD: Oxford 2-1 Charltonpublished at 14:44 British Summer Time 19 April 2019

    Chris Solly (Charlton)

    Second red of the game, this time it's Charlton's Chris Solly for a late challenge.

    The first red card in the game by the way was Oxford keeper Simon Eastwood.

    Both sides now down to 10 men.

  9. Bolton on the brinkpublished at 14:42 British Summer Time 19 April 2019

    It's been another remarkable week in the world of Bolton Wanderers, with the club finally confirming a takeover by former Watford owner Laurence Bassini on Wednesday.

    And even then it wasn't simple, with Bassini telling BBC Radio Manchester that he had saved the club from administration "at the 11th hour".

    Well, Bolton are "at the 11th hour" on the pitch too, with their Championship status hanging by a thread.

    And the equation is simple: lose to in-form Aston Villa and Wanderers will definitely be trotting off to play in League One next season.

    But draw or win and results elsewhere could send them down anyway.

    Millwall 1-1 Brentford

    If anything, Brentford look more likely to get a second than Millwall do, despite the home side having a man advantage.

    This is a big chance for the Lions to climb away from danger.

    Meanwhile, here's what else we have coming up in the Championship....

    Goalscorer Mark Duffy told Sky Sports:

    "There were two bodies in the way so it was great relief when it went in.

    "It was all-important to win. It's nice to play well but it's all about the three points."

    Enda Stevens, who scored the second goal to ensure Sheffield United go second in the table:

    "We are just concentrating on ourselves and not worrying about other teams and wherever our results takes, they take us."

  13. Blades up to secondpublished at 14:31 British Summer Time 19 April 2019

    FT: Sheff Utd 2-0 Forest, Leeds v Wigan (15:00 BST)

    Confirmation that Sheffield United go second for the time being before Leeds' game with Wigan, which kicks off at 15:00 BST.

    What the Blades' win does mean is that Norwich City cannot be promoted until Monday at the earliest.

    But the Canaries' fate is very much in their hands. They need a maximum of six points from their remaining four games to secure a return to the Premier League.

    It's all over. Job well and truly done for Sheffield United who are now occupying second place in the Championship table on goal difference from Leeds United.

    The red card for Forest defender Yohan Benalouane was undoubtedly the key moment in the game but the Blades still had to make the most of it. And they did.

    Will Leeds respond with a home win over Wigan and go back above their Yorkshire rivals? We'll soon know.

    GOAL: Exeter 1-3 Crawleypublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 19 April 2019

    That's the second of the game for Reece Grego-Cox who fires home his effort just inside the penalty area to extends Crawley's lead.

    All do to now for Exeter.

    Millwall 1-1 Brentford

    Unsurprisingly, Millwall have seen plenty of the ball so far in the second half but it's their keeper, David Martin, who has had to make a save to keep out a long-range Sergi Canos effort.

    Four minutes of injury-time are under way.

    Surely Forest cannot find a couple of goals here?

    Sheffield United have been good value for the win since having the extra man.

    Two fine finishes and they are heading to second in the Championship - at least prior to Leeds' game against Wigan.

    Chris Wilder takes the cheers and thanks from the Blades fans.

    "He's one of our own," they sing.

    Cracking finish.

    Just as I was saying they had lost control the end-to-end finish to the match works out well for Sheffield United.

    Enda Stevens steams forward down the left on the overlap as he has done all afternoon.

    David McGoldrick cleverly bides his time and then tees up wing-back Stevens who spanks the ball low and hard into the far corner. A lovely finish.
