  1. HALF-TIME

    Burnley 0-0 Millwall

    Burnley, who bagged five as they beat Wigan on Saturday, have been on top in this one but Millwall have stood up well to it so far.

  2. HALF-TIME

    Birmingham 0-0 Norwich

    A quiet first half at St Andrew's.

  3. HALF-TIME

    QPR 3-0 Hull

    The home side have been RUTHLESS here.

    Ilias Chair and Ethan Laird made it 2-0 after 15 minutes before Chris Willock rounded off a great first half five minutes before the break.

    Hull have had their chances but it's a LONG way back from here.

  4. HALF-TIME

    Wigan 1-1 West Brom

    The Latics took an early lead through Josh Magennis but have since been pegged back by Karlan Grant.

    It's been a fairly even first half and both sides will fancy their chances of picking up all three points tonight.

  5. HALF-TIME

    Cardiff 0-0 Luton

    Elijah Adebayo almost gets himself to a cross at the far post but can't make contact from two yards out for Luton.

    He's then booked for a lunge on Mahlon Romeo.

    Moments for both sides in the first half, but it remains goalless.

  6. HALF-TIME

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Reading

    So far, so good for upwardly mobile Sheffield United.

    Oli McBurnie's second goal in two games, but first in the league at Bramall Lane since December 2020, has the Blades a goal to the good.

    It maybe should be more but Royals boss Paul Ince will at least be pleased this isn't going as badly as their previous visit to this county this season.

    His men were 4-0 down at the break at Rotherham two weeks ago.

  7. goal

    GOAL: Watford 1-1 Middlesbrough

    Ismaila Sarr (24 mins)

    Oh it's brilliant from Ismaila Sarr!

    He's got The Hornets level, his quick feet sending Alex Mowatt diving to the turf before stroking the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

  8. goal

    GOAL: QPR 3-0 Hull

    Chris Willock (40 mins)

    This is in danger of turning into a rout now!

    QPR midfielder Chris Willock makes it four goals in four games and 3-0 to the home side.

    Willock, whose brother Joe once scored in seven successive games for Newcastle, curls home a low effort from 20 yards out.

  9. Sheff Utd 1-0 Reading

    In-form Iliman Ndiaye is in on goal but the Senegalese sends his effort wide of Joe Lumley's post.

    Could the Blades live to rue that miss?

  10. Burnley 0-0 Millwall

    Millwall defender Shaun Hutchinson joins team-mate Charlie Cresswell in the book.

    The home side turning the screw but no breakthrough yet.

  11. Birmingham 0-0 Norwich

    Danel Sinani with a sight of goal for the visitors as he finds himself free inside the area.

    But Dion Sanderson comes across with an excellent tackle to block his shot.

  12. Wigan 1-1 West Brom

    The Latics almost retake the lead, Jason Kerr heading narrowly over the bar from Max Power's free-kick.

    Power, the man with surely the best name in football, is making his 400th career appearance this evening.

  13. Watford 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Watford are starting to find a bit of rhythm now and have their first attempt at goal but Ismaila Sarr's effort is well blocked by Darragh Lenihan.

  14. Cardiff 0-0 Luton

    Close shaves at both ends.

    First Elijah Adebayo intercepts a poor backpass and looms on the Cardiff goal, tries to round the goalkeeper but Ryan Allsop does very well to smother the chance.

    Then the hosts break and Sheyi Ojo flashes wide from the top of the area.

  15. QPR 2-0 Hull

    Benjamin Tetteh tests Seny Dieng's reactions in the home goal.

    The R's keeper turns the Ghanaian's effort around the post as the Tigers try and get back into this one.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Watford 0-1 Middlesbrough

    Rodrigo Muniz (4 mins)

    The away side have taken a very early lead to dampen the party atmosphere at Vicarage Road.

    Good build up play down the left flank sees Ryan Giles float a delicious cross into the Watford box which evades Daniel Bachmann and is headed home by Rodrigo Muniz on his full Boro debut.

  18. Burnley 0-0 Millwall

    The home side are enjoying the better of this so far.

    Leeds loanee Charlie Cresswell has his name taken by the referee for a foul on Burnley forward Nathan Tella.

    Lions goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski is then called upon to make a double save from Johan Berg Gudmundsson's free-kick and Taylor Harwood-Bellis' rebound effort.

  19. Birmingham 0-0 Norwich

    Blues threatened in the early exchanges with a low cross from Juninho Bacuna from the right that couldn't quite find a team-mate.

    But now Norwich have settled and Kieran Dowell has volleyed wide from Max Aarons's cross with both full backs trying to get forward as much as possible.

    Josh Williams slides in on Aaron Ramsey and is booked for the hosts.

  20. goal

    GOAL Wigan 1-1 West Brom

    Karlan Grant (22 mins)

    It didn't take too long for The Baggies to draw level and it's a goal all of his own making.

    Karlan Grant latches onto a misplaced Wigan pass and drives forward to goal before firing an unstoppable effort into the bottom corner.

    Game on!
