The second halves at Bramall Lane and Pride Park are moments away. Plenty of twists and turns to come over the next 45 I'm sure.

Six more matches on the way this afternoon including third-placed Huddersfield against second-placed Bournemouth.

• Bristol City v West Bromwich Albion
• Huddersfield Town v Bournemouth
• Hull City v Luton Town
• Reading v Blackburn Rovers
• Stoke City v Millwall
• Swansea City v Birmingham City

All square at the break.

Both teams have had their chances but the best of them has to have come from Barnsley, with a fine save from Wes Foderingham keeping his side in it to deny Matty Wolfe from close range.

An excellent team goal finished by Matt Godden is what separates the two sides at the break.

Plenty of promise shown by Derby but it's the play-off hopefuls who lead.

Now it's Sheffield United's turn, who have another decent chance as the clock ticks into red at the end of 45 minutes.

Sander Berge sets up Ben Osborn who is in loads of space as he runs into the box, but his shot goes high and wide of the bar and he misses the target.

Derby are finishing the half on the front foot but Coventry are extremely well organised at the back. They're clearing every cross.

Three minutes of stoppage time at the end of this first half.

What was I saying about a lack of edge when on the attack....

Barnsley win the ball and break quickly. with a three against two. Matty Wolfe is played in on the left but his shot goes wide of the post and shakes rolls into the netting on the wrong side behind the goal.

A big let-off for Sheffield United again.

Sheffield United win a free-kick and go to take it quickly, but the referee calls them back and makes them go again.

It's a bit scrappy at the moment with all the play around midfield. Both teams are struggling to find that edge really, when they go on the attack.

Less than five minutes to go until half-time.

That Coventry goal has really taken the sting out of Derby's attacking play we saw in the early stages.

It's a fairly finely balanced opening half an hour, with neither team really yet to stamp their authority on proceedings.

Billy Sharp runs in behind Mads Andersen to win a throw in but the ball comes to nothing and goes all the way back to the halfway line.

It's worked back into the box and while the Blades win a corner, Conor Hourihane's effort is easily taken in the air by Bradley Collins.

Callum O'Hare is an absolute livewire for Coventry.

The midfielder collects the ball outside the box and sends a low effort towards the corner which Ryan Allsop tips wide.

First real chance for Sheffield United, who work the ball well around the Barnsley box.

It falls to Jack Robinson but he sends his shot a few inches agonisingly wide of the right post.

Derby's Malcolm Ebiowei dances his way into the box beautifully and goes down under pressure from Ian Maatsen but nothing is given. Correct decision as the 18-year-old appeared to just stumble.

Jake Bidwell catches Malcolm Ebiowei on the top of the boot and the Coventry man goes into the book.

Domingos Quina and Amine Bassi combine well to set Carlton Morris off on a run down the right. He dribbles into the box, cuts inside and wins a corner.

Quina takes it short and when the ball is headed back in, Matty Wolfe is waiting to pounce but Foderingham reacts quickly. He gets down low to palm the ball beyond the post, right on the line to deny Barnsley.

Best chance of the match so far.

Another chance for Derby.

Max Bird places a cross right on Tom Lawrence's head, but the skipper's effort is easily saved by Simon Moore.

Fankaty Dabo bursts down the right for Coventry and floats in a cross but Matt Godden, in acres of space, miscontrols it on his chest and Derby clear for a corner. Chance gone.

So far so even, with possession split pretty equally this first 15 minutes. Domingos Quina almost feeds in Carlton Morris who gets in behind the Blades defence with a run, but Wes Foderingham comes off his line and dives on the ball.

Derby striker Ravel Morrison cuts inside and curls an effort from the edge of the box which Simon Moore tips over.

It was probably just dipping under the bar.
