    Preston 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Seems to have got very cagey at Deepdale after a fairly eventful first half.

    Preston know they will need all three points from this to keep up the pressure on teams in the top six.

    Forest might be quite happy to take a point.

    Have Middlesbrough players got the words of Neil Warnock's half-time team talk ringing in their ears?

    They need a quick way back into this one as anything could be crucial down at the bottom. Lewis Wing on for George Saville in a change at the break.

    FT: Charlton 0-1 Reading

    Meanwhile at the other end of the table, it was less good news for Charlton and their bid to avoid relegation.

    A third successive defeat for the Addicks leaves them sweating on other scores this weekend after an early Reading penalty was enough to give them all three points.

    Middlesbrough 0-2 Bristol City

    Bristol City playing some lovely free-flowing football.

    Almost a third for them before the break as Famara Diedhiou heads down from a Jack Hunt cross but doesn't direct it well or get enough power to trouble Dejan Stovanovic.

    Moments later, Nahki Wells blazes one well over the crossbar from inside the box.

    It's a real poacher's goal as Josh Windass makes it two for Wednesday who heads it in pretty much on the line from the corner.

    Barnsley 0-0 Wigan

    Barnlsey are still pressing, incidentally I'm not sure how Wigan are not down to 10 men. Antonee Robinson has completely taken out Kilian Ludewig but it's just a yellow card, he's a lucky boy.

    What a counter-attacking goal this is!

    Middlesbrough knocking on the door for an equaliser spurn the chance to use a corner well and Bristol City go from one box to another in the space of about six passes.

    Jamie Paterson finishes off the flowing move with an unstoppable drive into the roof of the net from the left.

    Big task on Boro's hands now.

    West Brom into the lead and heading top as it stands!

    Nice move down the right at first eventually shifts the ball across to Filip Krovinovic to hit home on the volley.
