    That is it for our coverage of tonight's Championship action.

    It could also be the end of the road for Nathan Jones.

    The Stoke boss has won just three of his 30 league games since taking charge of the Potters in January.

    Tonight's defeat at the hands of fellow strugglers Huddersfield was especially galling, as the Potters failed to register a shot on target.

    Remember - there are five more second-tier fixtures tomorrow, with Swansea's trip to Charlton the pick of the matches.

    There will be live text commentary of all those games - do join us again.

    A quick recap of the big result at the top of the Championship.

    Ezgjan Alioski scored the only goal as Leeds United ended West Brom's unbeaten start to the Championship season and replaced them at the top of the table.

    It was an uncharacteristic display from Marcelo Bielsa's side, who were made to dig deep during a second half that was dominated by Slaven Bilic's visitors.

    Stoke cut adrift

    Look away now Stoke fans. The Potters stay bottom - six points from safety.

    Huddersfield's second win of 2019 means they leapfrog Barnsley, but still remain in the bottom four.

    The Tykes could move back above the Terriers on Wednesday, when they host Derby County.

    Leeds back on the summit

    Leeds return to the top of the table after that tense victory against West Brom, while the Baggies drop to second.

    Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest stay third and Fulham rise to fourth after their win at Reading.

    It could all change this time tomorrow though, as Swansea travel to Charlton Athletic knowing they'd go first with a win.

    The Addicks, however, know that victory would put them second in the table.

    Huddersfield have just a second win in 2019 as they record their first win in 20 league matches.

    The Terriers leapfrog Barnsley and are up to 22nd in the table, three points from safety.

    Stoke remain winless in the Championship this season.

    Nathan Jones said he didn't fear the sack in his pre-match news conference.

    This may be the final straw for the Potters board, though.

    Reading 1-4 Fulham

    Five goals and a red card, Fulham's match at Reading has been a good watch tonight.

    Two goals for both Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrovic put Fulham in control before Reading grabbed a late consolation goal through Yakou Meite.

    Stoke 0-1 Huddersfield

    We are into five minutes of added time.

    But a Huddersfield defender is down needing treatment, so we might go on a bit longer.

    Quite a few Potters fans are heading for the exits anyway.

    Stoke 0-1 Huddersfield

    Stoke have about a minute plus stoppages to salvage a point.

    It is not looking likely.

    Nothing more than a consolation as Reading's Yakou Meite denies Fulham a clean sheet.

    It's a stunner as well, as he curls it into the top-corner from 25-yards out. Nobody in blue and white is celebrating though.

    Not much to report as Reading's game against Fulham meanders towards a close.

    We've got three minutes to go, both Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrovic have two goals apiece for Fulham, could either grab a hat-trick late on?

    Well.

    You wait more than 80 minutes for a shot on target, and then the first one goes in!

    Juninho Bacuna smashes in from close range after the Terriers start a move in their own half.

    A sickening blow for Stoke City, and Nathan Jones could be getting the sack.

    It also could be Huddersfield's first win in 20 league games...

    Stoke 0-0 Huddersfield

    There is just under 10 minutes left to play at the Bet365.

    You feel that one goal will win it. But neither keeper has made a save yet.

    A draw doesn't do either side much help. They are both five points from safety as things stand.

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Preston

    Paddy McNair has a late chance to win it for Boro, but can't get his shot away after the ball dropped to him from Ryan Shotton's long throw.

    McNair then has a penalty shout waved away by the ref.

    The Teessiders now have just one win in their past six, while Preston stretch their unbeaten run to seven league matches.

    Adam Reach has a late chance to equalise for Sheffield Wednesday but his shot flies over the bar.

    And that's it, Tom Eaves' diving header is the difference and Hull claim all three points.

    There will be four minutes of added time at Elland Road.

    If Leeds can hang on, they'll head back to the top of the table.

    Stoke 0-0 Huddersfield

    The clock ticks over to 70 minutes at Stoke.

    Has there been a shot on target?

    No. Of course there hasn't.

    Stoke have had 11 efforts off target, to be fair.
