  1. FULL-TIMEpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Preston 3-0 Derby

    Derby boss Wayne Rooney built up this game before kick-off but his players have not delivered.

    Ben Whiteman, Ched Evans and Ryan Ledson got the goals for mid-table Preston.

    The Rams, meanwhile, have just one win in 12 and sit just four points above the relegation zone.

  2. INJURY TIMEpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Blackburn

    Four minutes of stoppage time added at Hillsborough and Sheffield Wednesday are sitting deep now.

    Can they see this out for a huge three points?

  3. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 0-1 QPRpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Lyndon Dykes (89 mins)

    QPR have the goal they deserve.

    Albert Adomah's flick finds Lyndon Dykes and the in-form striker blasts in his sixth goal in seven games.

    Swansea are going to be nine points behind second-placed Watford with three games left if it ends like this.

  4. goal

    GOAL: Preston 3-0 Derbypublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Ryan Ledson (87 mins)

    It's all over now.

    Ryan Ledson's free-kick from the left goes through a crowded penalty area and straight into the net.

    Derby are in deep trouble towards the bottom - Wayne Rooney's post-match interview should be worth a listen...

  5. Postpublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Blackburn

    Julian Borner volleys Barry Bannan's corner and catches it well but Blackburn keeper Thomas Kaminski gets down to save.

    Wednesday are trying to finish this game off.

  6. League One latestpublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Four fixtures have reached half-time in the later kick-offs.

    Leaders Hull are trailing 2-1 at home to third-placed Sunderland, second-placed Peterborough are 1-0 behind against Gillingham, play-off chasers Charlton are 2-0 ahead at Plymouth and Crewe are 1-0 up at Fleetwood.

    Northampton Town are heading for a huge win against Ipswich Town. Ryan Watson makes it 3-0 to them with five minutes to play.

  7. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 20:43 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Preston 2-0 Derby

    Derby have a second goal ruled out - I don't think it's going to be their night.

    The ball goes in directly from a corner but the referee gives a foul on Preston keeper Daniel Iversen.

  8. League Two latestpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Leaders Cambridge United restore their two-goal advantage at Leyton Orient.

    Joe Ironside makes it 4-2 with 10 minutes to play.

    Grimsby Town look almost done and dusted at the bottom as Morecambe extend their lead to 3-0.

    As it stands, they'll be nine points adrift of safety with four games to play.

  9. CLOSE!published at 20:42 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Blackburn

    Sheffield Wednesday have looked comfortable for much of the half but almost get sucker-punched!

    Adam Armstrong squares for John Buckley but the Blackburn winger shoots straight at Keiren Westwood when he really should've put the ball either side of him to level.

  10. Postpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Swansea 0-0 QPR

    It's been a pretty low-key second half at the Liberty Stadium.

    QPR look more threatening while Swansea look like a side who have perhaps given up on automatic promotion and know they'll probably be contesting the play-offs at the end of the season.

  11. Postpublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Preston 2-0 Derby

    Things could keep unravelling for Derby here.

    Tom Barhuizen tries to curl in a third from 20 yards for Preston but the ball deflects agonisingly wide.

  12. League Two latestpublished at 20:36 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Leyton Orient pull a goal back on Cambridge United.

    It's now 3-2 to the league leaders as Declan Drysdale turns one into his own net.

    Oldham have a 3-0 lead at Harrogate meanwhile.

  13. League One latestpublished at 20:33 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Another side down the bottom end giving themselves a survival chance are Rochdale who have just taken the lead against in-form Blackpool thanks to Oliver Rathbone's strike.

    Charlton meanwhile are now 2-0 ahead at Plymouth through former Exeter City man Jayden Stockley.

  14. goal

    GOAL: Preston 2-0 Derbypublished at 20:33 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Ched Evans (74 mins)

    Substitute Brad Potts' cross is parried out by Derby keeper David Marshall but the ball falls for Ched Evans to slot a second for Preston.

    Wayne Rooney's visitors are staring a fourth successive defeat in the face. Rotherham will have three games in hand on the Rams after tonight.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 20:31 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray makes four changes at once as he tries to wrestle back the initiative.

    Stewart Downing is one of those to come on.

    Wednesday can only be relegated tonight if they lose and Derby win, which looks very unlikely as it stands.

  16. Cambridge make it three!published at 20:31 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    League Two latest

    Even better news for leaders Cambridge United.

    Main man Paul Mullin has added another to his impressive season tally with a penlaty to put them 3-1 up at Leyton Orient.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:28 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Preston 1-0 Derby

    Derby are going for broke but need to be careful at the back - Greg Cunningham finds Tom Barkhuizen and the Preston forward's shot towards the bottom corner is kept out by the diving David Marshall.

  18. League Two latestpublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Leaders Cambridge United retake the lead at Leyton Orient with Shilow Tracey's header after a corner wasn't full cleared.

    Newport County meanwhile keep up their play-off hopes as Liam Shephard puts them 1-0 up against Crawley Town.

    Southend United's night goes from bad to worse in their relegation six-pointer at Colchester United. Jason Demetriou is sent off for serious foul play with 20 minutes to play and his side still 2-0 behind.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:26 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Preston 1-0 Derby

    Preston goalscorer Ben Whiteman is replaced in midfield by Brad Potts.

    The hosts have been hanging on and need to stem the Derby flow.

  20. League One latestpublished at 20:24 British Summer Time 20 April 2021

    Bristol Rovers look deeper in trouble as Will Grigg doubles MK Dons' lead.

    AFC Wimbledon have turned it round in quick time against Oxford United to lead 2-1. James Henry was sent off for handball on the line for the visitors before Joe Pigott converted the penalty.

    Alex Woodyard then fired them ahead a couple of minutes later.
