    That should be that.

    It's a beauty from George Evans who curls into the top corner from just inside the box.

    It's the first time Millwall have scored three goals this season and they're set to move up to eighth.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Peterborough

    Frustration is growing for the home fans.

    Braian Ojeda collects the ball on the edge of the box and sends his shot over the bar.

    Peterborough have only kept two clean sheets this season. Can they make it three?

    Sorba Thomas hits a low effort just wide as the visitors look to retake the lead.

    Just a goal or fewer separate the teams in eight of our nine Championship games.

    Plenty more drama to come I'd imagine...

    I think some people were thinking relegation was inevitable for Hull but winning the last four in a row means they have started to turn things round before Christmas.

    Andy Carroll smashes an effort over the crossbar as the hosts look to retake the lead.

    Lifeline! And a lovely goal from Troy Deeney.

    Scott Hogan finds his strike partner in the centre of the box and Deeney smashes into the top corner.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Peterborough

    Forest are piling on the pressure with chances for Braian Ojeda, Lewis Grabban and Philip Zinckernagel in this second half, but still no way through the leakiest defence in the division.

    Surely they aren't heading for a third goalless draw in a row?

  15. RED CARD: Sean Morrison (Cardiff)published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2021

    Cardiff 1-0 Sheff Utd

    Cardiff defender Sean Morrison is shown a straight red for a foul on Billy Sharp as he looks to run in on goal.

    Elijah Adebayo (54 mins)

    Blackpool goalkeeper Chris Maxwell misjudges a cross and the ball finds Elijah Adebayo who nods in off the post from close range.

    It's the Luton man's ninth goal of the season and could well be the one to earn them all three points.

  19. CLOSE!published at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2021

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Swansea

    Fantastic defending!

    Swansea forward Joel Piroe rounds the goalkeeper, sends a shot on target but Paddy McNair slides in to clear off the line.

  20. Postpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2021

    Millwall 2-0 Birmingham

    As it stands Millwall are three points away from the top six.

    Is this the season they can finally push for a return to the top flight for the first time since 1989-90?

    They've certainly got a lot of heart under boss Gary Rowett.
