    Birmingham 0-2 Hull

    Brilliant tackle from Kristian Pedersen. Hull forward Mallik Wilks races through on goal but, just as he winds up to shoot, Pedersen denies him.

    That could have been a third for the Tigers.

    Leeds 1-0 Fulham

    Fulham definitely with the better of the chances since the opening 15 minutes as Ian said.

    Anthony Knockaert fires one just wide and then Aleksandar Mitrovic has another go with a sharp shot on the turn and half-volley that Illan Meslier does well to block and watch the dip and swerve.

    Leeds looking like they could do with half-time coming now but there's still seven or so minutes until the break.

    You'd have to say the drinks break has come at a good time for Leeds.

    They've made a few errors in dangerous areas that have let Fulham come onto them and twice they've nearly been punished.

    Realistically Fulham have got to win to keep those automatic promotion hopes alive.

    Leeds 1-0 Fulham

    Fulham convinced once again they should've been given a penalty!

    A Harrison Reed free-kick goes into the box and is flapped clear by Illan Meslier but Anthony Knockaert believes Tyler Roberts let the ball roll up his arm as he tried to control it and clear the area.

    Nothing given.

    Just a little lower and Joe Rothwell's free-kick could have gone in for Rovers.

    He whips it over the wall but it ripples the top of the net.

    Leeds 1-0 Fulham

    Luke Ayling appears to dish out a bit of Aleksandar Mitrovic's own medicine as the two compete in the air and Mitrovic comes off second best.

    His protests towards referee Tony Harrington fall on deaf ears and on we go.

    Game has settled down a touch as we pass the half hour mark.

    Fulham cranking it up now.

    Illan Meslier in the Leeds goal has to be alert to make a fine save two-handed to his left as again Anthony Knockaert has a go.

    Then Bobby Decordova-Reid looks in on goal from Harry Arter's pass, but he can't connect as he tries to turn towards goal and fire a shot on target.

    Nervy stuff for Leeds.

    Leeds 1-0 Fulham

    Shout for handball from Aleksandar Mitrovic as he heads an effort towards goal.

    It hits the back of Ben White as he connects and goes behind for a corner but Mitrovic is convinced he handled it.

    Corner comes to nothing and on we go.

    Wigan started the game well but Blackburn are beginning to see more of the ball now but have yet to test David Marshall in the Latics goal.

    How has James McClean not put Stoke 1-0 up here?!

    The Potters winger flicks a shot away at the near post but Middlesbrough keeper Dejan Stojanovic puts in a tremendous save to deny him.

    Fulham struggling to hold on to the ball and get a flowing move going.

    Leeds very alert to win the ball back and close down space as Tom Cairney finds to his detriment as he concedes a free-kick inside his own half.

    Good first quarter of this game for the hosts as Kalvin Phillips has a go from range but Marek Rodak is able to gather safely.

    Middlesbrough's first pathway into this game sees them win a free-kick inside the Stoke half.

    Neil Warnock beckons commands to his side from the touchline shortly before Britt Assombalonga fires just over the crossbar.

    Leeds looking hungry here.

    Plenty of slick touches and quick passes as they try and unlock Fulham for a second time.

    Tyler Roberts especially looking keen to get on the ball.

    It's the man making his first start for Hull James Scott with a very good header from Leonardo Da Silva Lopes' cross to double the Tigers' lead.

    All to do now for Blues.

    It was a clinical finish from Patrick Bamford.

    The striker has come in for more than his share of criticism during his two years at Elland Road for not taking his chances, but he made no mistake with that one.

    Just before his goal, Fulham had had an opening of their own after a mistake in midfield by Mateusz Klich.

    Leeds' goal came after visiting midfielder Harry Arter gave the ball away just into this own half.

    I think there'll be more goals in this.

    Good chance for Stoke as they continue to take the game to Middlesbrough in these early stages.

    Tyrese Campbell links up with James McClean whose cross into the Boro box is eventually cleared away.

    Fulham in need of a response now and for a second time, either side of Patrick Bamford's goal, Anthony Knockaert tries his luck but shoots well wide of the target.
