Fulham 0-0 Preston
Fulham REALLY need to win this after second-placed Leeds thumped Hull 4-0 earlier today.

Wow, two goals in four minutes to complete the turnaround for QPR.
Eberechi Eze is involved again to combine well with Bright Samuel to find Jordan Hugill who sweeps it home at the near post.
Dear oh dear Birmingham City.

GOAL: Millwall 1-1 Bristol Citypublished at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2020
Tomas Kalas OG (51 mins)
This has gone down as a Tomas Kalas own goal, but it could yet could go the way of former Bristol City player Matt Smith, who appeared to bundle it over the line from a matter of inches.
Either way, the Lions are level early in the second half.
GOAL: Blackburn 1-2 Swanseapublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2020
Andre Ayew (penalty, 48 mins)
The visitors have turned it around!
Andre Ayew makes it a great day in the Ayew household* by joining brother Jordan (who scored the winner for Crystal Palace at Brighton earlier) in scoring today.
The Ghana international slots home from the spot after Jordon Garrick was brought down by Toisin Adarabioyo.
*I assume they don't live together given one plays for a club in London and one for one in Wales but who knows.

Bristol City have lost three in a row and four of the last five, but victory today could keep them very much in the play-off mix.
They're still ahead, but it's a big 45 minutes ahead for head coach Lee Johnson.

Sheff Wed 0-3 Derby
Sheffield Wednesday, who made one change before the break, have made their other two subs at half-time.
Can they get back in it at Hillsborough or is just an exercise in damage limitation now?
