    Paul Richardson (Leeds): January - should have bought a striker.

    Simon Thake (Aston Villa): Grealish. When he’s fit, we win.

    Matt Daley (Bristol City): It’s the hope that kills you.

    By the way, some people have got in touch saying the "as it stands" table on this page isn't updating... if you refresh the page, that should do the trick.

    • Norwich City will be champions - they only need a point and are drawing 1-1 at Aston Villa. Anyhow, second-placed Sheffield United are trailing 1-0 at Stoke.
    • Derby County will clinch the final play-off place. The Rams are 1-0 up against West Bromwich Albion, but must hold onto their lead as Middlesbrough are 2-0 up at Rotherham.
    • Bristol City, the other team in the mix for sixth place, are goalless at Hull.
    • Swansea, Nottingham Forest, QPR and Wigan are ahead in their respective matches.
    • We're into 13 minutes of injury time at Griffin Park, where Brentford have just gone in front against Preston, following a long stoppage while Bees defender Julian Jeanvier was treated for a head injury.

    Derby 1-0 West Brom

    Half-time whistles are blowing around the grounds in this final round of fixtures in the regular Championship season.

    Derby 1-0 West Brom

    They're in to three minutes of added time at the end of the first half at Pride Park, where Derby remain on course for the play-offs, but that'll all change if West Brom score...

    GOAL: Ipswich 1-1 Leedspublished at 13:16 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    Mateusz Klich (45 mins)

    Leeds had been coming back into it and they're level thanks to a superbly struck shot from Mateusz Klich.

    That takes the Polish midfielder to 10 goals for the season and puts Leeds firmly in control of finishing third.

  6. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:15 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    Hull 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City should be 1-0 up, but Famara Diedhiou somehow heads on to the bar from two yards out, unmarked, in front of an open goal.

  7. SUBSTITUTION (Derby)published at 13:13 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    Derby 1-0 West Brom

    Martyn Waghorn is having to come off, as he's got a knock, and the Rams will hope that's not too serious.

    David Nugent comes on up front instead.

    Stoke 1-0 Sheff Utd

    So close to an equaliser for the Blades.

    Billy Sharp's close range effort hits Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross and the post and goes away to safety.

    The Potters then go straight up the other end and Tom Ince hits the crossbar himself.

    Ipswich 1-0 Leeds

    Leeds are getting back in it at Portman Road after falling a goal behind.

    They force a succession of corners but can't force Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski into action.

    Bialkowski looks set to be making his final appearance for the Blues today, which, if nothing else, is potentially good news for live text writers...

  10. goal

    GOAL: Rotherham 0-2 Middlesbroughpublished at 13:11 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    John Mikel Obi (38 mins)

    It's a thumping finish from John Mikel Obi and Boro double their lead! He smashes it in to the roof of the net from just inside the box for his first goal for the club.

    It looks like Derby are going to have to carry on winning in order to hold off Boro in the race for sixth...

    There haven't been any shots on target yet at the KCOM, where Bristol City need to find a goal for themselves, while hoping the scorelines at Pride Park and the New York Stadium both change.

    Blackburn 1-2 Swansea

    Swansea now lead at Blackburn, having trailed 1-0. It's a super header from Oli McBurnie.

    Derby 1-0 West Brom

    And there are some very nervy faces glancing at phones at Pride Park, after that Middlesbrough goal...

  15. Postpublished at 13:02 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    Derby 1-0 West Brom

    Albion should be level - Dwight Gayle is usually deadly from 10 yards but he puts his shot from a right-wing pull-back wide of the post.

    An escape for Derby, who still lead through Martyn Waghorn's header.

    GOAL: Rotherham 0-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 13:02 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    Britt Assombalonga, pen (28 mins)

    It's in, and Boro are in front. Britt Assombalonga finds the bottom corner and if Boro carry on winning, Derby will HAVE to win.

  17. PENALTY TO MIDDLESBROUGHpublished at 13:01 British Summer Time 5 May 2019

    Rotherham 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Clark Robertson brings down Britt Assombalonga in the area and Boro will have the chance to open the scoring from the spot...

    Flynn Downes (29 mins)

    Leeds don't deal with the free-kick that goalkeeper Kiko Casilla conceded and the bottom side lead.

    Flynn Downes is on hand to turn the ball home and give the Blues a chance of just a fifth league win of what has been a dreadful season.

    Rotherham 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Boro are creating plenty of chances, but aren't taking them.

    This time, Ryan Shotton heads over from Lewis Wing's dangerous free-kick.

    Ipswich 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla is in the book after charging off his line and taking Collin Quaner out outside the area.
