    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Five minutes plus stoppages remain at the Liberty Stadium.

    A goal now for either side will surely win it.

    Leeds still look more likely, but the Swansea defence has been pretty solid this afternoon.

    Leeds are set to move a point closer to promotion as things stand.

    Whites forward Pablo Hernandez has just shot over the Swans bar from 20 yards out.

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    There are just over five minutes left now. Could this result be enough to keep Stoke in the Championship?

    They've got games against Bristol City (a), Brentford (h) and Nottingham Forest (a) still to come. They'll be four points clear of danger.

    As for Birmingham, who are on the same number of points as the Potters now, barring a late fightback, they have Charlton (h), Preston (a) Derby (h) on the way.

  3. SUBSTITUTION (Swansea)published at 15:16 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Swansea forward Wayne Routledge is on for the final nine minutes.

    He replaces Rhian Brewster, who has had a quiet afternoon.

    Both sides have been frustrated in attack, but Leeds have created the better openings.

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Swansea have the ball in the back of the Leeds net - but the offside flag was up.

    Andre Ayew had strayed beyond the visitors' back line and play had been called back before the ball was nodded in by a team-mate.

    At the other end, Jack Harrison blasts over the bar from inside the Swans box.

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Another Leeds counter-attack goes up in smoke.

    Keeper Illan Meslier claims a corner and distributes a quick throw to Pablo Hernandez on the left.

    The visiting players are streaming forward in numbers to overload the Swansea defence.

    Hernandez releases Helder Costa down the left - but Costa is offside.

    Head coach Marcelo Bielsa shows his frustration on the sidelines.

  6. SUBSTITUTION (Birmingham)published at 15:11 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    Birmingham's fifth and final change sees 17-year-old Jude Bellingham replaced by Dan Crowley in midfield.

  7. Postpublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    Stoke's Jordan Cousins fires straight at Lee Camp from close range. Neither side have created much in the past 10 minutes, in truth.

    If Stoke can keep the scoreline like this, they would climb up four places in the table, above the Blues.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Fifteen minutes plus stoppages left at the Liberty Stadium.

    Both these sides are desperate for points as they chase promotion to the top flight.

    It's been a tense encounter so far, with little between the sides.

    Leeds winger Jack Harrison gets shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Connor Roberts on halfway.

  9. SUBSTITUTION (Stoke)published at 15:08 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    In contrast, Stoke bring on 31-year-old Lee Gregory for Sam Vokes up front. Vokes was unlucky not to score early on, heading onto the bar.

    And Northern Ireland midfielder Jordan Thompson, 23, replaces Nick Powell.

    There are just under 15 minutes remaining.

  10. Postpublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds look like they will create another chance on the counter-attack.

    But Patrick Bamford's ball out to Jack Harrison is over-hit, and then Harrison mistimes his ball through for Gjanni Alioski, and the North Macedonia international is offside.

    Swansea breath a sigh of relief and have time to regroup.

  11. SUBSTITUTION (Birmingham)published at 15:06 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    Birmingham make their fourth change of the afternoon, with 19-year-old Dublin-born left-sided defender Ryan Burke coming on for his debut. He replaces fellow youngster Nico Gordon.

    The visitors' squad feels pretty thin on experience at the moment. With the players they've brought off the bench today, you'd think they were giving youngsters run-outs amid a relaxed end to the season. In reality, they're only four points above the bottom three.

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Luke Ayling has a long-range effort go high over the Swansea bar.

    Time for a drinks break midway through the second half.

    Leeds have been well on top since the break.

  13. CLOSE!published at 14:59 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    Half-time substitute Jeremie Bela lets fly from long range with Birmingham's best effort so far but it's just touched wide for a corner.

    Stoke keeper Adam Davies does well to punch the ball clear from the resulting corner.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 14:58 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Leeds work their best moment of the game and it would have been 1-0 but for a brilliant save by Freddie Woodman.

    Patrick Bamford dives to meet Jack Harrison's first-time cross from the left.

    But his point-blank header is parried away by Woodman. It was too close to the keeper - but it's still a vital save.

  15. SUBSTITUTION (Stoke)published at 14:57 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    A long throw from Birmingham's right from centre-half Marc Roberts is headed well over the bar by Jude Bellingham. It was just behind Bellingham, and was always going to be a tough one to angle goalwards.

    Now Stoke bring off Tyrese Campbell for a rest and winger Tom Ince - a £10m signing in the summer of 2018 - comes on for the hosts instead.

  16. Postpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Swansea 0-0 Leeds

    Having dished out three yellow cards in the first half, Keith Stroud has gone a bit soft.

    First Pablo Hernandez is pushed over by a Swansea defender Kale Bidwell while trying to get the ball back to take a quick throw-in, then Andre Ayew goes through the back of Gjanni Alioski with the ball bobbling out of play.

    But Stroud lets both moments pass with just a talking-to for the Swansea pair.

  17. YELLOW CARD (Stoke)published at 14:54 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    The Potters' James McClean is booked for a late one on Jude Bellingham.

    The hosts have less than half an hour left to see out what would be a huge win for their season.

    Fifteen minutes gone in the second half, and the deadlock has yet to be broken.

    Both Swansea striker Rhian Brewster and Leeds forward Patrick Bamford have had quiet afternoons so far.

    Brewster has netted four goals in five games since the restart, while Bamford has three in the same time.

    The game remains pretty tense.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONS (Birmingham)published at 14:53 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    Birmingham bring on 19-year-old striker Jayden Reid for only his second senior appearance for the club, following his debut on Wednesday.

    Scott Hogan, who hasn't scored since football's resumption in June, goes off.

    And 20-year-old midfielder Caolan Boyd-Munce also comes on for the Blues, replacing Croatian holding midfielder Ivan Sunjic.

  20. Postpublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 12 July 2020

    Stoke 2-0 Birmingham

    This game's gone a little flat in the past five minutes. A Stoke corner is headed clear by Birmigham's Gary Gardner.
