    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Stoke

    Nice work from Forest man Lewis Grabban who has a pop on the turn but it deflects up and onto the roof of the net.

    Brentford 0-1 Barnsley

    If West Brom carry on winning, Brentford won't be able to go up tonight, even if they can turn this game around against Barnsley.

    Could that be crucial for the Tykes' hopes of holding on? They've played really well so far tonight and are staying up as things stand.

    Cardiff 2-0 Hull

    Hull are having a decent spell, they know they have to score goals in this half and are going for it

    Mallik Wilks has had a couple of opportunites to score but his efforts have been blocked and saved.

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Stoke

    The Potters go close as Lee Gregory shoots just over after driving forward with the ball.

    Forest are sitting in sixth as things stand.

    Leeds dominant as they make it 3-0 early in this second half.

    Tyler Roberts left unmarked to head in a Pablo Hernandez corner from the left. Easy pickings.

    Charlton now in real, real trouble. Luton and Barnsley both winning is not want they want to be seeing.

    GOAL: West Brom 2-1 QPRpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 22 July 2020

    Callum Robinson (49 mins)

    A goal capable of sending a team up to the Premier League?

    It's not the most difficult one Callum Robinson will ever score, a tap-in from close range, but it's surely the most important.

    West Bromwich Albion, who started the evening with their destiny in their own hands, have turned things around against QPR and they're heading for the top flight as things stand.

    Reading 1-1 Swansea

    Good effort from Swansea's Conor Gallagher but his 20 yard effort goes just wide.

    They need a hatful of goals against a 10 man Reading side if they are to make those play-off places, chances are slim but there you go.

  8. Postpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 22 July 2020

    Luton 2-1 Blackburn

    Luton are doing their bit to survive as things stands and will hope to at least hang on to that lead and potentially build on it to give themselves more breathing space.

    Two own goals in that first half saw them come from behind against Blackburn.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Wigan 1-1 Fulhampublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 22 July 2020

    Neeskens Kebano (49 mins)

    This is a peach of a free-kick, right in to the top corner from Neeskens Kebano for his third goal in two games.

    It gets Fulham right back in the mix for second spot but it could also be the goal that sends Wigan down, depending on the outcome of their appeal against their points deduction.

    Wigan 1-0 Fulham

    Wigan have lost only once in their past 14 Championship games, winning eight of them.

    This scoreline, as things stand, would keep them up. What a run they're on.

    Cardiff City 2-0 Hull City

    Obviously contrasting emotions here at the Cardiff City Stadium, with one side on the verge of the play-offs and the other on the brink of relegation.

    This contest has been a good snapshot of how Cardiff have got to where they have in the Championship.... They are street-wise and they are able to bully teams.

    Hull might well have had a penalty, but if it wasn't for goalkeeper George Long, it could already be four or five.

    The fact that Welsh rivals Swansea are set to miss out on a play-off spot is what Bluebirds fans would consider the icing on the cake.

    Now West Brom take what could be a big step towards the Premier League. They're back on level terms, just before half-time.

    Callum Robinson slips a lovely through ball to Grady Diangana on the left of the penalty area and Diangana produces a clinical, low finish.

    Slaven Bilic pumps his fist and yells 'come on'.

    Of all the teams hoping to claim second spot tonight, the Baggies are now the only ones not losing.
