    Cheers James, get yourself a little break.

    We've got plenty to get through in the meantime.

    Saturday's EFL action

    It can only get better from here on in.

    Fortunately we have swathes of games to come in half an hour across the Championship, League One and League Two.

    Let me introduce Matt Newsum and Laura Savvas to help me take you through the action.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    A bore draw.

    Dominic Hyam and Max Biamou headed good chances wide in the first half for Coventry, while Watford skipper Troy Deeney hit the woodwork in the second.

    But this was uninspiring, particularly from the Hornets. They edge up to fourth, but they need to be better.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    It's got incredibly scrappy.

    Neither side seem able to create any openings. Ismaila Sarr has a hopeful shot blocked for Watford.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Watford certainly haven't shown enough to win this, and Coventry haven't been able to keep up their first-half intensity.

    A draw feels about right.

  6. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90+1 mins

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Five minutes have been added on.

    Will there be a late sting in the tail?

    Coventry are trying to build something now.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Watford have Coventry pinned back but the hosts clear and visiting centre-back Francisco Sierralta brings down Max Biamou.

    Sierralta is already on a booknig but escapes further punishment.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 86 mins

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Is this some late intent from Watford?

    Xisco Munoz brings on striker Stipe Perica for full-back Jeremy Ngakia.

    Coventry make two changes - Viktor Gyokeres and Jordan Shipley on for Gustavo Hamer and Callum O'Hare.

    Joe Nealon: If Coventry had a good striker I reckon they could be in and around the play offs from what I have seen.

    From what I've seen of the Sky Blues this season I'd agree, Joe. They look solid at the back and have plenty of midfield creativity, that's for sure...

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 83 mins

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Troy Deeney heads against the woodwork for Watford!

    He pins his marker and the ball loops off his head, giving Marko Marosi no chance, but it comes off the corner of post and bar.

    Coventry nearly shot themselves in the foot there, Jamie Allen inexplicably gave the ball away just outside his own box and they were almost sucker-punched.

  11. League Two latestpublished at 14:12 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2021

    Exeter 1-2 Bradford

    They're just under way in the second half at St James Park, where Bradford lead the home side Exeter 2-1 thanks to goals from newbies Charles Vernam and Ollie Crankshaw. Instant impact!

    Pierce Sweeney got the Grecians' goal.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Just as I say that, a half-chance for the Hornets.

    Ismaila Sarr takes down a cross - possibly with the help of his hand - and snatches at a shot which dribbles wide.

  13. Postpublished at 79 mins

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Coventry's Callum O'Hare has that x-factor that could force a winner here.

    He jinks past a Watford player and sees a shot from range saved by Daniel Bachmann.

    Watford have gone quiet again.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    We're into the final 15 minutes at St Andrew's.

    Coventry looked like scoring in the first half but since the interval neither side has really shown that desire to break the deadlock.

  15. Postpublished at 73 mins

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Coventry's Dominic Hyam leaps highest to head Gustavo Hamer's free-kick straight into the hands of Daniel Bachmann.

    Not as clear-cut as his first-half chance but in the context of this game, a decent opportunity for Hyam.

    Watford bring on midfielder Will Hughes for Chalobah.

    Nathaniel Chalobah gives away a free-kick and Coventry have the chance to put the ball into the box...

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Sam McCallum forces a decent save from Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann with a drilled effort from the edge of the box.

    It was a lovely dribble and backheel from Callum O'Hare that set the Coventry full-back up.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Watford reply with a change of their own - Joao Pedro on for striker Andre Gray, who's been ineffective.

    Hopefully some kind of spark can be found.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Julien Dacosta's afternoon is unfortunately over.

    He looks a bit groggy. Let's hope it's just precautionary.

    Coventry bring on Josh Pask in his place.

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Coventry full-back Julien Dacosta is down after an innocuous-looking challenge.

    The home side haven't reached the levels of their first-half display.
