    HUGE WIN FOR BRENTFORD!

    The Bees close to one point of second-placed West Brom thanks to Ollie Watkins' early goal - his 25th of the season.

    Eight in a row for them now.

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    Preston win a cheap free-kick out wide as Jayden Stockley goes down under minimal contact from Rico Henry.

    The ball into the area is met by a Preston head but it drops well wide.

    One minute to go.

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    Josh Dasilva fires straight at Preston goalkeeper Declan Rudd and Ollie Watkins gets himself booked for stopping Rudd from clearing.

    A silly one.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Nott'm Forest 1-2 Swansea

    Big, big lead for Swansea.

    They really need to win to get their play-off push back on track and Andre Ayew's penalty just before the break has them in front.

    Rhian Brewster's wonderful finish had given them the lead only for Sammy Ameobi to level with a fine strike of his own.

    There'll be five added minutes at the end of this game for Bristol City or Stoke to snatch a late winner.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:50 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Birmingham 0-0 Charlton

    At the break at St Andrew's, Birmingham will rue Scott Hogan's missed opportunity from their penalty, as he was denied from 12 yards by Dillon Phillips and then volleyed over the bar on the rebound.

    That was the key moment of the first 45 minutes, in a tense game down in the relegation battle.

    Birmingham 0-0 Charlton

    In the second of two minutes of first-half stoppage time, Birmingham move the ball well to create a shooting chance for Dan Crowley on the edge of the area, but his effort goes comfortably wide.

    GOAL: Nott'm Forest 1-2 Swanseapublished at 18:46 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Andre Ayew (pen) (45 mins)

    What a time to re-take the lead!

    Andre Ayew is fouled by Ryan Yates in the area and the Ghana international does the honours from the penalty spot.

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    Final two changes for Preston as they desperately search for a way back into this.

    Josh Harrop and Billy Bodin are on.

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Swansea

    Sammy Ameobi already has one but should he have two?

    The Forest winger drags his shot past the far post.

    A win tonight for the Reds confirms their place in the play-offs.

  13. Postpublished at 18:43 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    Brentford forward Said Benrahma fires another shot off target.

    I think he's had seven shots in this game so far and only one has been on target.

    That said, the Algerian has six goals from his past three games so I wouldn't back against him getting it right soon.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 18:43 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Bristol City 1-1 Stoke

    Into the final 10 minutes at Ashton Gate, keeper Daniel Bentley produces a fantastic one-handed, acrobatic stop to tip the visitors' Danny Batth's header over the bar.

    Stoke fancy a late winner here.

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    Preston play a ball in to Jayden Stockley in the area.

    The big striker does well to head the ball down but home keeper David Raya is quickly off his line to shut down the danger.

    Birmingham 0-0 Charlton

    That missed penalty won't do Scott Hogan's confidence any good. He's not scored since the season restarted, having netted seven times before lockdown after arriving in January.

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    The visitors are really going for it with those three subs.

    The home defence are going to have to stand up to some long balls forward.

  18. Postpublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Brentford 1-0 Preston

    Triple substitution for the visitors.

    Jayden Stockley, Scott Sinclair and Brad Potts are on for Darnell Fisher, Alan Browne and Tom Barkhuizen.

    Those three subs all came off the bench to score at Sheffield Wednesday last week.

    The hosts take off the lively Brayn Mbeumo for Joel Valencia.

  19. MISSED PENALTY (saved)published at 18:35 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Birmingham 0-0 Charlton

    Scott Hogan steps up and... It's saved! Dillon Phillips makes a good stop to his right... And Hogan volleys over on the rebound! It came straight back to him but he couldn't keep it down.

    What a big blow for the Blues, and potentially a massive moment for Charlton!

  20. PENALTY TO BIRMINGHAMpublished at 18:34 British Summer Time 15 July 2020

    Birmingham 0-0 Charlton

    A sloppy, wayward backwards pass to the Charlton keeper is intercepted by Lukas Jutkiewicz and he's brought down in the area by Dillon Phillips. It's a penalty - huge opportunity for Birmingham to get off the mark.
