GOAL: Millwall 1-1 Barnsleypublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 24 October 2020
Jake Cooper (45+2 mins)

Coventry 0-1 Blackburn
Adam Armstrong looking for his second as he drills a volley towards goal but Marko Marosi denies Rovers again in the Coventry goal to keep his side in the game.
The Sky Blues will be content with the score as it is as we head towards the break.

Alex Mowatt (44 mins)
What a strike to give the visitors the lead!
Jake Cooper's clearing header on the edge of the box goes straight to Alex Mowatt.
The Barnsley man chests the ball down and then sends a fierce half-volley flashing past Bartosz Bialkowski from 25 yards out.
Newly appointed Tykes head coach Valerien Ismael, watching on from the stands, will be happy with that one.

Sheff Wed 0-0 Luton
Sheffield Wednesday's home form in 2020 has been absolutely wretched, just a single victory all year.
They've been second best against Luton so far today but it remains 0-0.
GOAL: Reading 1-0 Rotherhampublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 24 October 2020
Yakou Meite (41 mins)
Championship leaders Reading take the lead with their first effort of the game.
Ovie Ejaria clips the ball into the box and finds Yakou Meite.
The forward chests the ball down in acres of space behind the defence, and puts his shot between the legs of Rotherham keeper Jamal Blackman.
It looked like Meite might have strayed offside, but the flag stayed down.

Norwich 1-1 Wycombe
Gareth Ainsworth will be very happy with how Wycombe have played since their equaliser.
Anthony Stewart and Scott Kashket have both had decent chances.
Norwich are still looking dangerous though as Todd Cantwell has just hit a volley from distance but it's just wide of the post.

Cardiff 0-1 Middlesbrough
Dafydd Pritchard
BBC Sport Wales at Cardiff City Stadium
This has been a match to forget but Neil Warnock won't care.
The 71-year-old has been his usual loud and furious self on the touchline on his return to Cardiff City Stadium.
Happily for the Middlesbrough manager, though, his side lead and, unsurprisingly for such a dour encounter, the goal came from a corner.
GOAL: Cardiff 0-1 Middlesbroughpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 24 October 2020
George Saville (36 mins)
Middlesbrough pulled off a smash-and-grab win at Bristol City in midweek, and they are at it again.
Marcus Tavernier sends in an inswinging corner from the right, and George Saville nets a brilliant glancing header from the edge of the six-yard box.
The midfielder got the winner at Ashton Gate on Tuesday too.

GOAL: Stoke 2-0 Brentfordpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 24 October 2020
James McClean (35 mins)
And moments later, Stoke DO get their second.
James McClean was instrumental in the opener and now doubles his side's lead.
The winger drills the ball in from the left-hand side of the area and it ends up in the back of the Bees net via a deflection off defender Charlie Goode.

Sunderland trail Portsmouth after John Marquis made the most of Grant Leadbitter's error to slot home.
