  1. GREAT SAVE!

    Millwall 1-1 Reading

    Milwall's Jon Dadi Bodvarsson comes off the bench to almost haunt his former side as he has a go on goal but Rafael Cabral pulls off a top save to tip it over the bar.

    From bad to worse for luckless Derby.

    Djed Spence plays Marvin Johnson in down the left and he swings in a low cross that Matt Clarke diverts into his own goal.

    It's looking like another defeat for the bottom side.

  3. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Coventry 0-0 Cardiff

    A ball is whipped into the area from a free-kick and it looks to have come off a Coventry player and it's in but the referee blows up for a foul somewhere in the crowd of players.

    Cardiff joy is very shortlived.

  4. Middlesbrough 1-0 Derby

    Djed Spence goes on an enterprising run forward for the hosts and tees up George Saville but he can't get over the ball and it goes wide.

  5. Coventry 0-0 Cardiff

    Coventry break and Ryan Giles runs at the Cardiff defence, cuts in and gets a shot away but Alex Smithies saves comfortably.

  6. Middlesbrough 1-0 Derby

    Derby sub Louie Sibley forces a save from home goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.

    The Rams, bottom of the table, have 25 minutes to avoid a fourth successive defeat.

  7. Coventry 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff and Joe Ralls with another effort but the midfielder shoots wide from 25 yards.

    No goals but there have been plenty of efforts on goal so far.

  8. Millwall 1-1 Reading

    Half chance for Millwall to retake that lead.

    Jake Cooper rises high to meet a corner but his header is straight at the keeper. He looks a little far out to be fair.

  9. Middlesbrough 1-0 Derby

    There's been a few yellow cards in this one and now Shay Given, one of the four in co-caretaker charge of the Rams, is the latest to be shown one for saying something on the sidelines that the referee has taken exception to.

  10. Pulis has plenty to say

    Tony PulisPA Media

    He will be 63 in a couple of months' time, but rest assured Tony Pulis has lost none of his appetite for life on the touchline.

    Decked out in trademark cap and brilliant white trainers, the Welshman has been the noisiest man at the Liberty Stadium so far this evening.

    Pulis' mix of orders and words of encouragement is working a treat so far.

    His team have just gone in front thanks to a well-worked set-piece, with Adam Reach guiding in from Barry Bannan's low delivery.

    GOAL: Swansea 0-1 Sheff Weds

    Adam Reach (27 mins)

    The first goal of the Tony Pulis regime is a cracker!

    Barry Bannan swings in a low corner that Adam Reach sweeps in first time.

    Straight off the training ground.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Millwall 1-1 Reading

    Lucas Joao (53 mins)

    Great start to the half for the Royals.

    Half time sub Michael Olise makes an impact by playing a superb pass for Lucas Joao who finishes low and the keeper has no chance.

    Neat play from Reading - Yakou Meite tees up Ovie Ejaria who has an effort from the edge of the box but it's straight into the arms of Bartosz Bialkowski.

  14. Coventry 0-0 Cardiff

    Ryan Giles tries his luck from distance for the Sky Blues but Alex Smithies holds on to it.

    At the other end Joe Ralls also has a go from just outside of the box for Cardiff but he drags it wide.

    Watford create a nice opening that ends with Ismaila Sarr seeing a low shot deflect behind for a corner.

  16. Millwall 1-0 Reading

    Derby sub Louie Sibley is straight into the action, sending a low shot skidding just wide.

  18. Middlesbrough 1-0 Derby

    Derby make a change for the second half with Louie Sibley coming on for Martyn Waghorn.

  19. Coventry 0-0 Cardiff

    Gustavo HamerPA Media

    Another chance for Coventry man Jordan Shipley.

    Gustavo Hamer lofts a ball over and it falls to Shipley but Alex Smithies pulls off a fine stop to deny him.

    Moments later Smithies tips over a dinked effort from Ryan Giles.

    The Cardiff keeper has been busy early doors at St Andrew's.

  20. Swansea 0-0 Sheff Weds

    Sheffield Wednesday are forced into an early change in goal as Keiren Westwood is unable to continue so Joe Wildsmith is on.
