    GOAL: Huddersfield 1-1 Stokepublished at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Steven Fletcher pen (24 mins)

    Equaliser for Stoke!

    It comes from the spot after Terriers defender Naby Sarr brought down Jack Clarke, allowing Scottish striker Steven Fletcher to level matters from 12 yards.

    Looking at the replay, it's a real lunge by Sarr and Huddersfield will be disappointed to concede in that fashion.

    Game on!

    Cardiff 0-1 Millwall

    Jed Wallace has a chance to double Millwall's lead, but curls a free-kick wide of goal.

    Cardiff haven't really got going yet.

    Derby 1-0 Bristol City

    It's still all Derby at Pride Park, where Max Bird has now struck a post for the Rams.

    Bristol City conceded 21 shots during the second half alone against Huddersfield Town in midweek... and they could be in for a similar figure this afternoon if this continues.

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Brentford 1-1 Wycombe

    Wycombe are on top now in west London.

    Brentford keeper David Raya denies Uche Ikpeazu a second from close range, pushing his shot onto the post.

    Sergi Canos clears the danger.

    Sheff Wed 0-0 Preston

    Second-bottom Wednesday are making most of the early running at Hillsborough.

    Callum Paterson has been in the thick of the action without quite managing to find the target, firing wide twice in quick succession.

    Encouraging from the hosts.

    Nottm Forest 0-0 Barnsley

    Forest have the first real chance of the game as Lewis Grabban beats the Tykes defensive line and is onside, but his finish is wanting.

    Some decent pressing rom the visitors though, full of energy under Valerien Ismael.

    Uche Ikpeazu (14 mins)

    Wycombe weren't behind for long, and it's a fine solo effort which draws them level.

    Uche Ikpeazu shows smart feet on the edge of the area to work his way past a couple of Bees defenders before digging out a shot which finds the bottom right-hand corner.

    That's his second goal for the club.

    Can Wanderers go on and secure just a second away win of the season?

    GOAL: Birmingham 1-0 Coventrypublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Jeremie Bela pen (18 mins)

    Jeremie Bela makes no mistake from the spot, sending his effort high into the top left-hand corner.

    Just a second goal in seven games for the Blues.

    League One and League Two updates

    Doncaster - in fourth - lead League One leaders Lincoln, thanks to a fine finish by Taylor Richards. Big promotion battle at Sincil Bank this afternoon.

    Leaders Cambridge have been pegged back in-form Crawley, Jake Hessenthaler replying to Joe Ironside's opener.

    Ian Henderson has scored in the derby between Oldham and Salford, giving the Ammies the lead against League Two rivals.

  10. PENALTY to Birminghampublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Birmingham 0-0 Coventry

    The hosts have a chance to take the lead after winger Ivan Sanchez is tripped in the box.

    Coventry can have no complaints - it was a poor challenge.

    GOAL: Brentford 1-0 Wycombepublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Ethan Pinnock (9 mins)

    After starting firmly on top, Brentford take a deserved lead.

    Ethan Pinnock stabs in Mathias Jensen's corner from the right flank.

    The Bees look set to extend their 17-match unbeaten run in the Championship.

  12. goal

    GOAL: Huddersfield 1-0 Stokepublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Pipa (5 mins)

    Great start for the Terriers!

    Isaac Mbenza pulls the ball back where he finds the right-back Pipa arriving, and the Spaniard has time to steady himself before firing Huddersfield ahead via a deflection.

    Blackburn 0-0 Luton

    An early chance for Rovers' leading marksman Adam Armstrong who is through on goal but sees the ball get caught under his feet, allowing Tom Lockyer time to get back and make the challenge.

    I'm sure Armstrong will fancy his chances of adding to his 16 league goals today.

    Aden Flint og (9 mins)

    Not a good start for Mick McCarthy's men.

    Jed Wallace bursts down the left and his low cross is turned past his own keeper by Aden Flint from a narrow angle.

    Breakdown in communication there in the Cardiff defence.

    League One and League Two updates

    Flurry of early goals in the bottom two divisions.

    Second-placed Hull in League One are in front against Swindon thanks to Greg Doherty's goal. They lost for the first time in seven in midweek.

    In-form Bradford lead Barrow 1-0 thanks to Danny Rowe's goal, they're unbeaten in seven games.

    Port Vale also ahead, Devante Rodney scoring inside a minute against bottom side Southend.

    Brentford 0-0 Wycombe

    Early pressure from the hosts.

    Ivan Toney's low cross is almost deflected past his own keeper by Jack Grimmer.

    Saman Ghoddos sees his follow-up effort saved by Ryan Allsop and then Sergi Canos nods the rebound over the bar.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Derby 1-0 Bristol Citypublished at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2021

    Colin Kazim-Richards (4 mins)

    Derby County have absolutely bossed the opening few minutes against Bristol City - and now have the opening goal too.

    Colin Kazim-Richards arrives at the far post to side-foot home and put Wayne Rooney's Rams in front.

    It's his fifth goal of the season.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Stoke

    All quiet early on but these two teams are both very much in need of a win today.

    Huddersfield have lost their last five in all competitions, with their last victory coming against Blackburn on 29 December.

    You have to go even further back for the last time the Potters tasted a league victory - 19 December - also strangely enough against Blackburn.

    Can either of them break their winless runs today?

    Brentford 0-0 Wycombe

    Wycombe have made five changes from their last Championship outing for the trip to Brentford.

    Centre-back Darius Charles is back as captain, and there's a first league outing for forward Admiral Muskwe, who's on loan from Leicester City.
