    QPR 2-1 Brentford

    QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng gets a booking as they head towards stoppage time at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

    Rangers have had a few bookings so can't do too much time-wasting...

    There will be five minutes of added time.

    Heartbreak for Nottingham Forest who've been so good tonight but Swansea's push for promotion might just have been given a massive boost.

    Against the run of play, Connor Roberts rises to head home for the hosts with three minutes left on the clock.

    QPR 2-1 Brentford

    Brentford look a bit rattled after that quickfire double from QPR.

    Can Thomas Frank's men find a late equaliser and keep their automatic promotion challenge alive?

    About five minutes remain (plus stoppages) in the west London derby.

    Coventry 0-2 Norwich

    The final five minutes of this game and do Coventry have a late response to Norwich's two-goal lead?

    Well, not really. It's winding down now, with the Canaries Todd Cantwell going into the book for a poor challenge.

    Deadlock broken by the Cherries.

    Adam Smith is the creator on the right, and picks out Philip Billing in the middle of the Millers box.

    The Danish midfielder takes a touch and composes himself before finishing emphatically.

    Can the Dorset side make it three league games unbeaten under caretaker Jonathan Woodgate?

    Swansea 0-0 Nottm Forest

    Nottingham Forest have performed well tonight against Swansea and they've had the better of the chances of late.

    The latest effort comes on the counter as Lewis Grabban threatens on the attack before Connor Roberts and Jamal Lowe combine to deal with the danger.

    Millwall double their lead in south-east London.

    Shaun Hutchinson slides a low ball across the Birmingham box from out wide on the right, and Ben Thompson is on hand to tap in at the far post.

    The Lions are on track for a third successive win.

    Birmingham are in deep trouble.

    Charlie Austin (76 mins)

    What a turnaround!

    A brilliant diagonal ball to the edge of the box picks out Lee Wallace on the left, and the wing-back advances to the byline.

    He cuts the ball back and Charlie Austin is on hand to turn home, via a deflection.

    Brentford are now facing back-to-back defeats after seeing their 21-match unbeaten run ended at the weekend.

  11. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Barnsley 0-0 Blackburn

    The first half comes to an end at Oakwell.

    And it's Barnsley who've had the pick of the action in the opening 45 minutes against Blackburn but it remains goalless.

  12. goal

    GOAL: QPR 1-1 Brentfordpublished at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Sam Field (72 mins)

    QPR have the equaliser their second half performance probably deserves.

    The away defence fail to deal with a chipped ball into the box from Todd Kane.

    Substitute Sam Field, who's on loan from West Brom, pounces on the loose ball to fire home with a left-footed shot from about 12 yards out.

    Can Rangers go on and beat their local rivals?

    Bournemouth 0-0 Rotherham

    Not masses to report from the south coast so far.

    Bournemouth winger Arnault Danjuma has had a low shot saved by visiting keeper Viktor Johansson.

    The Cherries have lost two of their past three at home in the league, but need a result to keep up their play-off push.

    Millwall 1-0 Birmingham

    The visitors aren't out of this one yet.

    Lukas Jutkiewicz tests Lions keeper Bartosz Bialkowski from a narrow angle.

    The Blues are looking for a first win in six games, having dropped into the relegation zone.

    Moments before, City defender Harlee Dean seemed to deflect a shot from Matt Smith behind with his hand on the line!

    The officials didn't see it. Blues keeper Neil Etheridge had made a decent low stop from Scott Malone before Smith pounced on the rebound.

  15. Postpublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Coventry 0-2 Norwich

    Norwich not looking threatened by Coventry so far as they protect their two-goal lead.

    Emi Buendia and Teemu Pukki have twice combined to help the Canaries lead and that's a familiar partnership.

    Buendia has assisted eight times this season, five of which have come with Pukki.

    No player has assisted another more in the Championship this season.

  16. Forest looking the more likelypublished at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Swansea 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    BBC Sport Wales at the Liberty Stadium

    They may be 15th in the table, but Nottingham Forest have grown in confidence as the game has gone on and they look the much more likely winners at this stage.

    Swansea have lost only once at home in the league this season, but rarely have they been so short of attacking threat on their own patch.

    Steve Cooper's side have looked like serious promotion contenders in recent months, but that has not been the case so far tonight.

    Chris Hughton will be the happier of the two bosses with around a third of the game to go.

  17. Postpublished at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Millwall 1-0 Birmingham

    Millwall come close to doubling their lead but are denied by a double block by the Birmingham defence.

    The Blues, with one win in 12, could really do with getting something from this game.

    Coventry 0-2 Norwich

    Coventry almost get off the mark as they chase the game against Championship leaders Norwich.

    Max Aarons clears the ball away but Gus Hamer is on hand to shoot from long range and fires just wide.

    Victor Adeboyejo almost gives Barnsley the lead against Blackburn - and in some style.

    It comes from a free-kick and he hits the crossbar after the Tykes take it quickly.
