Nottingham Forest 1-0 Reading
Image source, PA Media
When Reading went behind after 17 seconds their fans would have been forgiven for fearing the worst.
But the Royals have come back into the game as the first half was worn on and some good work from Tom Ince got Yakou Meite in on goal but the striker saw his effort saved.
Ince and Danny Drinkwater have picked-up bookings for Reading in the opening period so need to watch their step.

Jonson Clarke-Harris (33 mins)
Back in it!
Posh were only behind for five minutes.

Grant McCann is still looking for his first win as Peterborough boss - is this the day?
He certainly needs it to be.

Jacob Brown (28 mins)
Deadlock broken and it's more misery for Peterborough.
Midfield maestro Joe Allen is conducting things in midfield and its his pass that finds Jacob Brown who finished with a clinical strike past Posh keeper Jack Bonham.
That's the Stoke top scorer's ninth league goal of the season.
A reminder that Peterborough haven't won a game since 11 December...

Millwall 0-0 Middlesbrough
It's getting a bit spicy.
Another two yellow cards for Millwall to make it three inside the opening 20 minutes as Danny Ballard and Scott Malone have their names taken by the ref.
Folarin Balogun looked in a bad way after Ballard's tackle but he appears ok to continue.

Millwall 0-0 Middlesbrough
The visitors are making the early running at The Den with a good move started by Marcus Tavenier almost making an opening for Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun.
He looks to have taken it around Lions keeper Bartosz Bialkowski but the Pole gets enough on it to avert the danger.
