  13. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2021

    Bournemouth 0-1 Blackburn

    A couple of bookings at the Vitality as we approach the break.

    First Steve Cook goes into the referee's notebook for a foul on Daragh Lenihan before Ben Brereton-Diaz joins him shortly afterwards.

    Swansea 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    It's starting to bubble away over at the Swansea.com Stadium, as you might expect with a former manager returning to his old club. Three players have already gone into the referee's book on a yellow card and we're not even at half-time. Still, no goals to speak of yet.

  15. Postpublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2021

    Preston 0-0 Barnsley

    Barnsley have gone close on a couple of occasions through Carlton Morris and Cauley Woodrow but haven't been able to grab the opener yet.

    They are trying to keep a first ever clean sheet in an away league fixture at Preston with their only shutout coming away to the Lilywhites in an FA Cup third round game in January 1935.

    Today would be a good day to end that long-running stat.

    Steve Cooper will be the happier of the two head coaches on his return to his former club.

    Russell Martin's Swansea side have had plenty of possession but done little with it, while Forest - led by Brennan Johnson - have looked menacing on the counter-attack.

    Perhaps it was always likely to be tight.

    Swansea have the third best home defensive record in the league, while only Bournemouth have conceded fewer away goals than Forest.

  17. Postpublished at 15:34 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2021

    Bournemouth 0-1 Blackburn

    Bournemouth are almost straight back on level terms as ex-Celtic man Ryan Christie shows some adept footwork before firing a shot on goal which is turned away by Aynsley Pears.

    Cherries denied by Pears but for who will this be ultimately prove a fruitful afternoon?

    I'll get my coat.

    Deadlock broken at St Andrew's.

    Birmingham skipper Troy Deeney is the man to score for the hosts with his fourth of the season.

    A nice take down from a long goal kick before keeping his composure for the finish.

    It's all West Brom at the moment, who are knocking on the door for the opening goal. Callum Robinson has headed over and Alex Mowatt has also sent a volley over the bar. They've so far had 10 shots, to Reading's zero.
