    Stoke 0-0 Reading

    The Championship's only goalless game is at the bet365 Stadium.

    Stoke and Reading have not had a shot on target between them. That's all you need to know.

  2. RED CARD (Middlesbrough)published at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Swansea 1-1 Middlesbrough

    Substitute Marcus Browne is deemed to have gone in dangerously on Swansea defender Mike van der Hoorn and is shown a straight red card.

    He had already been booked for diving minutes before, as well.

    Middlesbrough have a job on their hands to come away from south Wales with a point.

  3. Southend lose leadpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    This will not come as a shock to Southend fans - Rotherham are level. Former Shrimper Freddie Ladapo has made it 2-2 at Roots Hall.

    Elsewhere in the division, AFC Wimbledon have equalised against Doncaster, Accrington have just gone 2-1 up against Portsmouth and Fleetwood have taken the lead against Gillingham.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Leeds 3-1 Cardiffpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Lee Tomlin (60 mins)

    Cardiff have one back and all of a sudden Leeds can see the Welsh side in their rear view mirror...

    Leeds keeper Kiko Casilla has largely been great this season but he flaps at the ball and Lee Tomlin lobs him to score.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Barnsley 4-2 QPRpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Cauley Woodrow pen (60 mins)

    It's a low, hard penalty from Cauley Woodrow and Samuel Radlinger can't get near it.

    Barnsley have a cushion again but I have a feeling this one is not yet over.

  6. PENALTY (Barnsley)published at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Barnsley 3-2 QPR

    A chance for Barnsley to restore their two-goal lead!

    Cauley Woodrow is hauled down by a QPR man.

    Nottingham Forest 0-4 Sheffield Wednesday

    How can Forest react from this?

    Well, they are having some sort of go, Matty Cash and Lewis Grabban both have efforts from long-range but both fly just over the bar.

    By the way, the attendance today is 28,002 with 1,993 of that being the Sheffield Wednesday support - we'd imagine 1,993 inside the City Ground are on cloud nine.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Marcus Tavernier (59 mins)

    A leveller for Jonathan Woodgate's Boro.

  9. CLOSE!published at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Leeds 3-0 Cardiff

    Almost four for a rampant Leeds.

    Mateusz Klich tries to dink in from the edge of the area but Cardiff keeper Neil Etheridge is at full stretch to fantastically tip wide.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Barnsley 3-2 QPRpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Luke Amos (54 mins)

    It's Conor Chaplin 3-2 Luke Amos at Oakwell!

    On-loan Spurs midfielder Amos thrashes in as the ball falls kindly for him after Samuel Radlinger saved Ryan Manning's shot.

    QPR right back in this.

  11. Postpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    That two-goal lead didn't last long...

  12. goal

    GOAL: Barnsley 3-1 QPRpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Conor Chaplin (52 mins)

    Barnsley have a two-goal lead and Conor Chaplin has a hat-trick!

    Jacob Brown's shot is only parried by QPR keeper Joe Lumley and Chaplin drills the follow-up through a load of bodies and in.

    Now it's all about whether the bottom side can hold on.

  13. Southend go in frontpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    League One latest

    You are not misreading this... Southend United have turned the game around against Rotherham at Roots Hal!!

    Jason Demetriou's penalty brought the Shrimpers level on 49 minutes and Sam Mantom has just scored to put them 2-1 up.

    Southend have not won at home all season. Is this where it all changes?

  14. goal

    GOAL: Leeds 3-0 Cardiffpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Patrick Bamford pen (52 mins)

    Patrick Bamford picks himself up, dusts himself off and puts away the spot-kick for his ninth goal of the season.

    Leeds out of sight.

    Do Cardiff have reason to be aggrieved about that decision? Possibly. The ball was going out of play when Bamford appeared to make contact with keeper Neil Etheridge.

  15. PENALTY (Leeds)published at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Leeds 2-0 Cardiff

    Patrick Bamford brought down in the box and he'll now take the penalty for Leeds...

  16. Postpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Bristol City 0-1 Blackburn

    Bristol City had all the possession before the break, but just the one shot on target.

    Blackburn may well be happy to hold on to what they've got.

    The hosts will be desperate to avoid back-to-back defeats which will dent their play-off push.

  17. 'Not a classic'published at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Swansea 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Dafydd Pritchard
    BBC Sport Wales at the Liberty Stadium

    There was a fair bit of action in the Middlesbrough penalty area after Andre Ayew's goal for Swansea, but the game has rather fizzled out since then.

    The second half is under way and it's continued in the same lethargic fashion.

    This is not a classic.

  18. CLOSE!published at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Leeds 2-0 Cardiff

    Leeds are straight out of the blocks and could've had a third just 20 seconds after the break.

    Helder Costa sets up Luke Ayling but he puts the ball well over when he had several options available.

    Saturday's EFL action

    Off we go again across the grounds.

    As it stands Championship top two Leeds and West Brom have a staggering THIRTEEN point gap over the chasing pack.

    Will that change in the next 45 minutes?

  20. As it stands...published at 16:01 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Not much change at the bottom, although Barnsley could do with hanging onto their lead against QPR to make up a bit of ground.
