    Leeds have lift off!

    Patrick Bamford, after all of his recent travails, has the opener and it's a lovely finish down low to the bottom right of the goalkeeper.

    Helder Costa squares it to him on the edge of the penalty area and Marek Rodak cannot get down in time to keep it out.

    Leeds heading back to the top as it stands.

    Leeds 0-0 Fulham

    Replays of that earlier incident don't do Aleksandar Mitrovic many more favours.

    Marcelo Bielsa looks far from pleased about the lack of punishment as he sits on his bucket by the Leeds dugout.

    Little of note in front of goal for either side so far.

    Stoke 0-0 Middlesbrough

    So, Neil Warnock's first match in charge of Middlesbrough and they desperately need a win this afternoon.

    However, Stoke have given them much to think about after Jordan Thompson tries his luck from outside the box but he fires wide of the mark.

    It looked like Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic led with his elbow into the face of Leeds defender Ben White there.

    The referee didn't see anything but I wonder if that might get looked at retrospectively?

    Fulham can ill afford to lose a man who has scored 23 goals this season.

    Leeds 0-0 Fulham

    Aleksandar Mitrovic is a very lucky boy! The Fulham striker catches Ben White with an arm to the face after the Leeds defender had cleared the ball away near the halfway line.

    If that's seen by the officials, it's a red card.

    Callum Elder swings in a delightful free-kick and Josh Magennis does superbly to hold off his marker and direct his header really well past Blues keeper Lee Camp.

    Perfect start for Hull, who began in the bottom three and haven't won in the Championship since 1 January.

    Leeds 0-0 Fulham

    Leeds' players warmed up in special shirts remembering two legends of the club who sadly passed away recently.

    Former England internationals Norman Hunter and Trevor Cherry both won league titles with the Yorkshire club.

  8. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 27 June 2020

    Five down, four to go - we're about to get under way in our remaining Championship matches on this June afternoon (which will never not sound weird).

    Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland will be doing his best to repel a struggling Middlesbrough side under new management today.

    Barnsley 0-0 Millwall

    Barnsley drop to the bottom of the table despite picking up a point after Luton's win over Swansea.

    Millwall had a decent first half but the Tykes got back into the game after the break with Lions keeper Bartosz Bialkowski making some good saves.

  10. CLOSE!published at 14:57 British Summer Time 27 June 2020

    Barnsley almost with a late goal as Mads Andersen who hits a half-volley towards goal but Bartosz Bialkowski saves well for Millwall.

    Charlton, Derby, Cardiff and Luton are the day's early winners in the Championship, while Barnsley and Millwall are set to end goalless at Oakwell.

    Cardiff climb to sixth with victory at Preston, while Wayne Rooney scores a penalty against Reading to keep Derby's hopes of a top-six finish alive.

    At the bottom, Luton are within two points of safety after winning at Swansea, while Darren Pratley's winner against QPR gave Charlton a second successive victory.

    Four more games to come, including Leeds v Fulham and Neil Warnock's return to the dugout as Middlesbrough boss... stay with us!

    Derby 2-1 Reading

    Reading were the better side in the second half, but Derby's two quick goals just before half-time prove enough to give them another win.

    A late surge into the play-offs on the cards?

    There's a bit of a melee at full-time and two red cards were brandished...

    Referee Scott Duncan sends off Derby's Tom Lawrence and Reading's Matt Miazga for their parts in an off-the-ball incident.

  13. The unenviable run-inpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 27 June 2020

    Leeds v Fulham (15:00 BST)

    Today's game at Elland Road pits two sides who stumbled on their return to the season last weekend.

    Fulham came unstuck at home at neighbours Brentford last time around and Scott Parker's side will be keen to avoid another defeat at the hands of another promotion rival.

    In addition to Leeds, Fulham still have to face leaders West Brom, as well as play-off chasing Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City.

    That's a pretty tough run-in. Three points today could be huge come the season's end.

    Elland Road

    There might be no fans but there are in the region of 15,000 ‘Crowdies’ here at Elland Road today.

    It’s been pouring down in West Yorkshire which should make for a slick and fast pitch.

    The teams have just gone back in after the warm up ahead of this huge game at the top of the Championship.

    Leeds v Fulham (15:00 BST)

    Leeds had a sobering welcome back to the season last week after their 2-0 defeat by Cardiff City in the Welsh capital.

    Despite the loss, they remain in second place, but boss Marcelo Bielsa realises the value three points could bring today.

    "The last eight matches are going to generate the same expectation. Every match is important," Bielsa told BBC Radio Leeds.

    "This is more valuable, because we are playing against the direct and closest team to us to fight for promotion."

    Derby 2-1 Reading

    Five minutes plus stoppage time to play.

    Derby have done a decent job of soaking up possession and slowing things down in the few minutes.

    They'll move within three points of the play-off places if they can hang on to this lead.

    Jonathan Woodgate's brief tenure as Middlesbrough head coach came to an abrupt end on Tuesday morning following a chastening 3-0 home defeat by Swansea on Saturday.

    But how did it end so soon for the former Leeds, Tottenham and Real Madrid centre-back in charge of his hometown club?

    Matt Newsum assessed the pulse rate on Teesside of fans and those close to the club to find out why.

    Moving into the last 10 minutes but Derby have not had it all their own way in this second half.

    Reading have looked a threat for a leveller as Garath McLeary almost had an immediate impact after coming off the bench but his low ball across the Derby penalty area was met by Ovie Ejaria.

    But Ben Hamer on song this time to make a decent low save.
