Two automatic promotion contenders go head-to-head in west Yorkshire as Bournemouth hope to derail the hopes of one of their closest contenders in Huddersfield.

The Cherries start the afternoon with a three-point and three-game cushion over the Terriers but in need of some consistency after spurning a lead over relegation-threatened Reading on Tuesday evening.

But Huddersfield will also be keen to bounce back after they were beaten for the first time in 18 league games at Millwall on Wednesday.

Bournemouth ran out 3-0 winners when these two sides met in October with a couple of those goals from leading scorer Dominic Solanke.

Will he play a pivotal part once more this afternoon?

Thank you Sophie and Gary, two huge results there with bearings at both ends of the table.

Plenty more action in store in just over half an hour - let's tee it all up for you....

So that's our two early kick-offs done and dusted.

Adam Williams has joined the party and will take you through the build-up to the 15:00 GMT matches.

Second-half goals from Sander Berge and Morgan Gibbs-White give Sheffield United the three points in the South Yorkshire derby and a 2-0 win over Barnsley.

The Blades move up to fourth for now, ahead of Blackburn Rovers on goal difference, while Barnsley stay in the bottom three, two points behind Reading.

Last change of the day for Barnsley as Devante Cole comes on for Claudio Gomes. We are now into the four minutes of added time.

The points are shared at Pride Park.

A result that does neither side's ambitions of staying up or promotion any favours.

All eyes now turn to Reading's result for Derby and the rest of the play-off contenders for Coventry.

That was as good a chance as Barnsley have had this second-half.

Claudio Gomes is in and onside down the right and gets a good cross into the box, but Carlton Morris heads it over.

Two minutes of the 90 to go...

Almost a winner for the Rams.

Louie Sibley's header flicks off Dom Hyam and crashes off the inside of the post.

Incredible finish to this game but it seems destined to end all square.

Fankaty Dabo might have got away with one there.

The Coventry defender, already on a booking, puts in a high boot on Festy Ebosele. Free-kick given, but no card.

There will be three minutes of stoppage time.

Another save from a free-kick by Sky Blues stopper Simon Moore!

This time Malcolm Ebiowei curls one towards goal from the right and Moore tips it over.

It's all going Sheffield United's way now. Wes Foderingham kicks a long ball down field and they quickly break down the right and win a corner.

It's headed into the near post and comes back out to Ben Osborn but he skies his shot completely over the bar.

So close for Derby.

Tom Lawrence bends a free-kick around the wall from 20 yards but Simon Moore pushes the ball wide at full stretch.

Less than five minutes to go.

Job done for Morgan Gibbs-White as he's taken off with eight minutes to go to huge applause.

John Fleck comes on in his place for Paul Heckingbottom's third and final change.

Another huge chance for Viktor Gyokeres goes begging!

Matt Godden does brilliantly to find his fellow forward inside the box but his low effort is saved by the legs of Ryan Allsop.

It was a fine save, but it really should be 2-1 to Coventry.

Third substitution for Derby as Louie Sibley replaces Ravel Morrison up top.
