Bristol City 1-0 Hull
Ten minutes of added time for the injuries to Nathan Baker and Jordy de Wijs.
Hull had fewer chances and Bristol City are in front. Doesn't bode well for the Tigers.

It's really starting to look like another 'job done' for the Baggies tonight, as they edge closer to their dream of a top-flight return.

Ben Cabango (45 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesBirmingham City have not only let the lead slip at St Andrew's but they now also trail on the cusp of half-time.
It was partly down to their failing to clear the ball, as Swansea reloaded the ball into the box through Conor Roberts, and there was Ben Cabango to slam the ball past Lee Camp.
Swans ahead, more like it for the play-off chasers.

West Brom 2-0 Derby
Both sides make a double change at The Hawthorns.
Matheus Pereira and Kamil Grosicki - who have both been very threatening for the hosts tonight - come off. Filip Krovinovic and Matt Phillips come on.
They're useful subs to have on your bench... Talk about strength in depth.
Derby bring off Chris Martin and Wayne Rooney for rests, with Jordan Brown and Jahmal Hector-Ingram replacing them.

Famara Diedhiou (41 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesWith half-time beckoning, Hull might have been thinking it'd been a decent night so far but that optimism has just been snuffed out.
The man who has given the home side the lead is Famara Diedhiou, who slotted in nicely from Jamie Paterson's slide rule pass.
Paterson did nicely to recycle after Jack Hunt's cross had been half-cleared. Harsh on Hull but big for the boys from Brizzle.

Derby have now got just over 10 minutes to try and find two goals, but they haven't yet forced Sam Johnstone in to a proper save all night long.

Dara O'Shea
Image source, Rex FeaturesIt's a big goal for West Brom in the battle to reach the Premier League! Nobody tracks Dara O'Shea as he darts to the near post at a left-wing corner and his downward header bounces in front of Ben Hamer and the Derby keeper can't keep it out.
On the balance of the play this evening, that'll be enough for the Baggies to claim three points, go top of the table and move five points clear of third-placed Brentford.

The Baggies have a good chance to put this game to bed as Matheus Pereira meets a right-wing cross in the middle but his outstretched leg can't beat Ben Hamer.

Kieffer Moore (33 mins)
Image source, PA MediaBrilliant goal by Wigan and no less than they deserve after really putting Rangers under the pump.
Sam Morsy started it with a burst right at the heart of the QPR defence, he coolly picked out Kieffer Moore on the right edge of the box, and the Wigan man thrashed a shot into the top corner beyond Joe Lumley.
Netbuster. Big goal for Wigan who really have some character about them.

Birmingham 1-1 Swansea
Swansea come close too as Matt Grimes fizzed a shot at goal just wide of Lee Camp's left upright.
Rhian Brewster has the ball in the net soon after but the assistant's flag was up. Offside.

Birmingham 1-1 Swansea
Gary Gardner heads a Jeremie Bela corner over the top, as Birmingham City continue to threaten.
It's calmed down a bit after that earlier flurry.

West Brom 1-0 Derby
Image source, Rex FeaturesAs they reach the second-half drinks break at West Brom, Cardiff fans will be very happy with this scoreline so far.
Leeds and Brentford supporters, less so.

Bristol City 0-0 Hull
Tomas Kalas is the hero for Bristol City, heading away after James Scott chopped the ball back onto his right foot and curled one toward the far corner.
The former Motherwell man looks a real threat. Hull have picked up a diamond there.

West Brom 1-0 Derby
In search of an equaliser, the Rams take off Craig Forsyth and Graeme Shinnie. Jason Knight and Lee Buchanan enter the field, with the latter making only his third league appearance for the club, aged 19.

Wigan 0-0 QPR
Eberechi Eze has a chance after smart work from Bright Osayi-Samuel but Wigan smother him at the back.
Another sharp counter attack gives Wigan more hope of makiong a breakthrough, this time Kieran Dowell crosses for Kieffer Moore but rolls it agonisingly short of his boot.

West Brom 1-0 Derby
Derby get a rare shot away, but 18-year-old Louie Sibley is slightly off balance as he fires wide from just outside the box.

Birmingham 1-1 Swansea
Swansea reliant on a brave block to deny Birmingham striker Scott Hogan after he was played in by Maxime Colin.
Blues could have easily folded after letting their lead slip but they're still plugging away.

West Brom 1-0 Derby
Image source, PA MediaDerby have got half an hour to go to try and battle back, against a West Brom side who have been very hard to break down tonight.
The Rams have had the greater share of possession, but have spent a lot of this game in their own half. They've still not been able to test Sam Johnstone at all.
