George Edmundson's goal is the one separating factor so far as Derby lead Huddersfield in an open game.

That win at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday has done Aitor Karanka's Birmingham the world of good.

They trailed to a Teemu Pukki goal on the counter and leaders Norwich should have made it two from the spot from Pukki's penalty was saved by Neil Etheridge.

The Blues levelled through Ivan Sanchez's rebound goal and probably deserve to be ahead on the run of play.

Boro continue to have the ball in good areas around the Bristol City penalty area, but can't fashion a genuine chance.

Duncan Watmore wormed his way into the box but thudded his shot straight at ex-Boro stopper Tomas Kalas.

Anfernee Dijksteel just flashed a shot wildly in return. Not the outcome he was hoping for.

The remaining three Championship games are getting up and running.

That's Luton v Millwall, Rotherham v Nottm Forest and Wycombe v Reading.

We'll of course continue to keep you updated on the goings-on in League One and League Two.

Huddersfield break, but as Juninho Bacuna tries to play in a team-mate the ball loops up and it's whacked behind by the Rams defence.

Duane Holmes wraps in a corner from the right which goes all the way through to the edge of the box, but Alex Vallejo's shot sears high over the bar.

What a game this is - Birmingham should be ahead.

Scott Hogan gets in behind and blazes his shot over, when you'd usually expect him to at least hit the target.

Ryan Schofield has to get down sharp to gather a stinging low free-kick from Colin Kazim-Richards. Derby going close again.

Neil Etheridge, what a way to redeem yourself! The Birmingham keeper saves the spot-kick from Teemu Pukki.

Pukki goes down the middle and though Etheridge dives, he saves with his legs to deny the Finland striker a second goal of the game.

Birmingham keeper Neil Etheridge brings down Norwich playmaker Todd Cantwell in the box and it's a penalty to the visitors.

George Edmundson comes close to a second for both himself and Derby, attacking a curling back-post free-kick and his stooping header wasn't far off.

Derby look comfortable but Huddersfield trying to work their way upfield in that patient manner.

Credit to Birmingham, they've picked up where they left off despite falling behind.

Maxime Colin's volley is kept out by Norwich keeper Tim Krul and the hosts are winning plenty of set-pieces to keep the pressure on.

Boro haven't felt sorry for themselves since the goal, they've been right at it again.

Paddy McNair got in down the left, almost stumbled his way into the box and then rasped a shot at goal which was just about cleared off the line by the visitors' defence.

Middlesbrough 0-1 Bristol City

Double whammy for Middlesbrough, who on going behind have also had to withdraw last season's top scorer Ashley Fletcher with what looks like a repeat of a hamstring problem.

Chuba Akpom is on.

Cruel game, football. He only returned at the end of January.

What a crazy start it's been at Shrewsbury, where we've now had four goals in the opening 22 minutes.

Curtis Main slotted home the Shrews' third from the penalty spot - their second spot-kick of the night - only for Will Grigg to respond immediately for MK Dons.

Elsewhere in League One, James Norwood's fine angled finish has put Ipswich in front at Hull.

In League Two, bottom side Grimsby have a potentially priceless lead against Crawley through Filipe Morais, while Tranmere are back on level terms at Carlisle.
