    Bristol City 0-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth with a decent opening early on from their first corner.

    Former City player Lloyd Kelly causing a bit of nuisance in the box as he tried to get his head on the end of the set piece. Not to be on that occasion, but he almost got through unmarked.

    Arnaut Danjuma then forces a fingertip save from Dan Bentley.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:53 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Watford 1-0 Wycombe

    Not the best game quality-wise, I'm afraid.

    At least we've seen one goal though, that one coming from none other than Andre Gray in the 14th minute.

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Rotherham United

    Wednesday make the stronger start at Hillsborough and almost take the lead from a couple of corners.

    Callum Paterson heads just wide of the left post with a low stooping effort from the second one.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    QPR 1-2 Barnsley

    Barnsley heading into the break 2-1 up thanks to goals from Daryl Dike and Alex Mowatt.

    They've never won six in a row at this level before.

    Will they leave with all three points at full-time?

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:50 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Watford 1-0 Wycombe

    Uche Ikpeazu receives the first booking of the game for his challenge on Will Hughes.

  6. Postpublished at 19:49 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Watford 1-0 Wycombe

    It's a double stop from David Stockdale, after Ismaila Sarr gets past Joe Jacobson to get his cross away.

    Stockdale slides out to deny the shot, and then blocks his own rebound.

  7. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Rotherham United; Bristol City 0-0 Bournemouth

    And we're off at Hillsborough and Ashton Gate.

    Who's claiming the south Yorkshire bragging rights this evening then?

    Can Nigel Pearson continue his new manager bounce for another game at Bristol City?

  8. CLOSE!published at 19:45 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    QPR 1-2 Barnsley

    A chance for Charlie Austin to level things up, but his chance off the back of a corner is deflected just inches over.

    Bristol City v Bournemouth (19:45 GMT)

    Bristol City make one change to the side that beat Swansea City on Saturday, with loanee Steven Sessegnon coming in for academy product Ryley Towler.

    Bournemouth meanwhile, are unchanged after beating Watford - albeit Jack Wilshere isn't on the bench for this one as he's suspended having been sent off as a substitute in that win.

    Bristol City XI: Bentley, Hunt, Kalas, Mariappa, Vyner, Sessegnon, Bakinson, Nagy, Palmer, Wells, Diedhiou.

    Subs: O'Leary, Lansbury, Semenyo, Moore, Pearson, Bell, Towler, Conway, Massengo.

    Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Smith, Carter-Vickers, S Cook, Kelly, L Cook, Pearson, Lerma, Stanislas, Solanke, Danjuma.

    Subs: Travers, Stacey, Rico, Mepham, Billing, Riquelme, Anthony, Long, Saydee.

  10. Will Pearson's progress continue?published at 19:40 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Nigel Pearson already appears to have had a timely effect on Bristol City's fortunes after watching one impressive away win from the stands and being in charge of the other since he was appointed manager at Ashton Gate.

    It's a home bow for Pearson this evening against another side who've changed managers lately, in Bournemouth.

    Jonathan Woodgate had his first win as permanent Cherries boss on Saturday in a feisty encounter against Watford.

    A win this evening in the west country would take Bournemouth back into the play-off places as they also bid to build some consistency.

    Watford 1-0 Wycombe

    Watford are taking advantage of their early goal, and have been bright since then.

    They had a half-chance after Tom Cleverley picked out Adam Masina with a deep cross, but his header comes to nothing.

    And Ismaila Sarr's curling effort has just gone wide too after a fast counter-attack, but they're yet to double their lead.

    Sheffield Wednesday v Rotherham United (19:45 GMT)

    Darren Moore goes with a 4-4-2 for his first Sheffield Wednesday line-up as Callum Paterson and Josh Windass lead the line for the hosts.

    Adam Reach is among those to make a return in midfield.

    Rotherham meanwhile take a 3-5-2 approach with Freddie Ladapo dropping to the bench to be replaced by Dan Barlaser up front. Ben Wiles also comes into their midfield for Shaun MacDonald.

    Sheffield Wednesday XI: Wildsmith, Palmer, Lees, Borner, Penney, Hutchinson, Shaw, Bannan (capt), Reach, Paterson, Windass.

    Subs: Jackson, Urhoghide, Dunkley, Pelupessy, Brown, Harris, Kachunga, Marriott, Rhodes.

    Rotherham XI: Johansson; Olosunde, Harding, A MacDonald, Giles; Jozefzoon, Barlaser, Wing, Wiles; Crooks (capt); Smith.

    Subs: Blackman, Clarke, S MacDonald, Sadlier, Hirst, Ladapo.

  13. Can Darren give Wednesday Moore?published at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Sheffield Wednesday v Rotherham United (19:45 GMT)

    Darren MooreImage source, PA Media

    Big moves in the managerial world around south Yorkshire this week as Darren Moore switched Doncaster Rovers for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Big Dave as he was affectionately known in his playing days takes charge of the Owls for the first time this evening against another neighbour in Rotherham.

    The Millers are also in a bit of a scrap in the bottom three, starting the evening a point above Wednesday with a game in hand too.

    But five defeats on the bounce have left Paul Warne feeling the pressure. Wednesday have lost their past four.

    A win for either could be huge in the context of their respective seasons.

    Three goals in six minutes!

    And what a delightful goal that is for skipper Alex Mowatt whose left-footed free-kick gives Barnsley the lead again.

    But for how long?!

    Barnsley are into the play-off places as it stands thanks to Orlando City loanee Daryl Dike's header inside the six-yard box following an Alex Mowatt delivery to open the scoring at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

    All over at Carrow Road.

    Norwich move 10 points clear at the top and 13 points clear of third place as it stands.

    Ruthless and efficient from the Canaries if not completely convincing. They should've won by more arguably.

    Brentford failed to impose themselves and miss the chance to open some daylight on the chasing pack.

    Norwich City 1-0 Brentford

    Brentford with their best spell right at the death.

    But for all the hustle and bustle, they eventually concede a free-kick in the area as Marcus Forss uses too much force in the air on Grant Hanley.
