More pressure from the hosts as James Husband works in a fine cross towards the onrushing Demetri Mitchell.

Fortunately for Stoke, Mitchell can't quite control the ball in time but it's another fine move from Blackpool.

A blow for Blackpool as Richard Keogh is forced off through injury.

He's given a rousing reception from the home support as he comes off, but he doesn't look happy as he's replaced by Luke Garbutt.

And we're now under way in the later 20:00 GMT match between West Brom and Hull at The Hawthrons.

Barnsley, under interim boss Joseph Laumann tonight, are turning the pressure on against Derby.

They've had two decent chances on goal in two minutes, the second of which saw Aaron Leya Iseka have a completely free header saved at point blank range.

You wouldn't know these two teams have scored just 21 goals between them this season, by the look of it so far.

Bournemouth win a free-kick in a dangerous area just outside the Preston box and Philip Billing stands over it.

However he curls his effort over the wall and well wide of the mark.

It's still all Bournemouth at the minute but North End are holding firm.

Blackpool are pressing for the opener here against Stoke as Jerry Yates dispossesses Danny Batth.

He then tees up Sonny Carey who tries his luck before Stoke block it away, but his second bite of the cherry hits the side netting.

Bournemouth will be looking to add to their advantage at the top of the Championship against Preston this evening and they've started well.

Patrick Bauer is forced into putting in a block at the near post to prevent Dominic Solanke from working onto a Cherries cross.

Demetri Mitchell works the first chance of this game but his effort goes over the bar as Stoke breathe a sigh of relief.

Blackpool are then forced up the other end of the field to defend as Stoke attack, with Marvin Ekpiteta dealing with the danger.

We're beginning to get under way in tonight's 19:45 GMT kick-offs.

Let's hope it's another entertaining evening!

Tonight's later kick-off sees West Brom take on Hull with the Baggies looking to regain some momentum in their push for an immediate return to the Premier League.

After going on a 10-game unbeaten run earlier this season, the hosts have lost three of their past five games and four points off second-placed Fulham.

They are, however, unbeaten at home so far this season and take on a Hull side who have scored the fewest goals in the Championship thus far.

Is a Baggies victory on the cards?

Managerless Cardiff are in the midst of a terrible run of form and welcome QPR tonight desperately seeking victory.

The Bluebirds have won just two of their past 12 games in the league against QPR but have a fightback under their belt coming into tonight's game.

They came from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with Stoke last time around to bring to an end a torrid run of eight consecutive losses in the second tier this term.

Can they build on that tonight?

Top-of-the-table Bournemouth welcome Preston tonight with a 15-game unbeaten run to start the season under their belt.

The Cherries are without a win in their past six games against Preston, however, so is an upset on the books?

North End arrive with inconsistent form, however they have won twice in their past three games as they hover above the drop zone in 19th.

Can Bournemouth extend their lead at the Championship summit this evening?

Believe it or not, it's the first time that Blackpool are taking on Stoke in a league match since 2010-11 when both sides were in the Premier League.

Things have certainly changed since then with the Seasiders falling to League Two and back to the Championship since then.

In fact their form this term is pretty good and they have already earned 24 points from 15 league games.

That is just two fewer points than they won in the entirety of their last season at this level.

Fulham travel to Blackburn this evening with the chance to keep the pressure on first-placed Bournemouth.

Aleksandar Mitrovic's record so far this season has been impressive even by his standards.

The Serbia international is currently averaging a goal or assist every 63 minutes in English football's second tier this season. He has 18 goals in 15 Championship games.

Can Rovers provide some answers to his attacking threat?

Barnsley go into tonight's bottom-of-the-table clash with Derby without a manager after Markus Schopp left earlier this week.

The Austrian left after a run of just one win in 15 and they take on the Rams tonight having almost been overtaken in points by their opponents, even after their points deduction for entering administration.

There is some hope for the beleaguered Tykes, however, as Derby have won just one of their past 16 away games in the Championship.

All matches kick off at 19:45 GMT unless stated:

• Barnsley v Derby County
• Blackburn Rovers v Fulham
• Blackpool v Stoke City
• AFC Bournemouth v Preston North End
• Cardiff City v Queens Park Rangers
• West Brom v Hull City (20:00 GMT)
