    Good evening and welcome to our live text coverage of Wednesday's Championship action.

    There might only be two games on the menu - but they are both big ones with implications on both the promotion picture and the relegation battle.

    Time is running out for Poya Asbaghi's bottom side Barnsley, eight points adrift of safety after just two wins all season, and they host a Cardiff team from far safe in 20th.

    Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney's Derby, in 23rd, look to continue their bid for a Great Escape after their 21-point deduction as they visit a Huddersfield side sitting seventh, outside the play-offs only on goal difference.
