    GOAL: Bristol City 0-2 QPRpublished at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 6 March 2021

    Rob Dickie (22 mins)

    QPR two goals to the good already at Ashton Gate.

    Centre-back Rob Dickie doubles their lead after a neatly-worked short corner.

    He hits it on the half-volley from around the penalty spot and it has enough to creep in off the inside of the right post.

    Nigel Pearson makes a change already as he hauls off Tyreeq Bakinson for Antoine Semenyo.

    Derby haven't got into this game at all, they've been slow to get off the mark and Coventry are taking advantage of that.

    The hosts have almost doubled their lead, after Callum O’Hare passes wide to Fankaty Dabo who delivers a ball to Max Biamou, but he misses it by a matter of inches and loses his chance for a brace.

    Swansea 0-0 Middlesbrough

    BBC Sport Wales at the Liberty Stadium

    "There's four of you and not one of you saw it," screams Neil Warnock at referee Gavin Ward.

    After signing a new contract this week, the veteran Middlesbrough manager is showing no signs of slowing down in the dugout.

    Warnock was unhappy over an off-the-ball collision between Anfernee Dijksteel and Swansea's Ryan Manning.

    But he is probably fairly happy with most of what he has seen in the opening stages here, with Boro seeing plenty of early possession.
