    Preston 1-0 West Brom

    Preston should be 2-0 up.

    Sean Maguire puts in a swish flick and turn on the edge of the box and shoots low but it's just wide of the mark.

    A let off for West Brom.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham City

    Big block from Zack Steffen in the Boro goal, with what's probably been Birmingham's best chance of the match so far and it all came from a Middlesbrough mistake.

    A pass back to the keeper goes astray and gets picked up by Scott Hogan, but Steffan reacts quickly to deny him a goal.

    Preston 1-0 West Brom

    West Brom continuing to press against Preston but they're yet to have anything to show for it.

    Their latest effort on goal has seen John Swift turn in a corner into the North End box but Freddy Woodman punches it clear.

    Hull 1-1 Wigan

    A goal apiece, but are there more goals before the first half is done?

    Well Wigan have come close to restoring their lead against Hull after Max Power's free-kick is claimed, just, by Nathan Baxter.

    Opportunity lost for Tyler Burey and Millwall.

    The midfielder gets himself into a one-on-one with keeper Viktor Johansson after a lovely long ball over the top, but his attempt hits the side of his boot, isn't on target and goes wide of the post.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Birmingham City

    Middlesbrough, remember, have only won twice this season but you wouldn't know so far from the way they've been firing shots at goal.

    Matt Crooks is the latest to try yet his volley is saved by John Ruddy.

    Ismaila Sarr nets his 4th goal of season.

    Ken Sema beats his man and fired a low cross to Sarr, who neatly tucked the ball away to open the scoring.

    Watford on top.

    Preston 1-0 West Brom

    Can West Brom get back into this match?

    Well they've looked the better side after Preston took the lead. Grady Diangana plays a one-two with Karlan Grant but his follow-up strike is off target.

    Rotherham United 1-0 Millwall

    The home side are having more of the chances at the moment.

    Goal scorer Dan Barlaser almost feeds in Chiedozie Ogbene, but his a shot from just outside the box blocked.

    No announcement yet but Hull City boss-in-waiting Pedro Martins is in the stands tonight.

    And alongside owner Acun Ilicali, too.

    Dimitrios Pelkas looked up to the stands in the direction of Martins as he scored his equaliser earlier, too.

  11. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Straight out of nowhere, Jay Rodriguez absolutely nails the ball from long range straight down the pipe, over the head of the Stoke keeper Joe Bursik and rattles the crossbar!

    The Potters were not expecting that.

    Wigan's lead lasted just seven minutes as Hull find the net to level it all up.

    Dimitrios Pelkas heads in from Lewie Coyle's cross.

    That's the Greek midfielder's first goal for the club.

    Well that will certainly perk up the home fans at the Riverside as Chuba Akpom gives Middlesbrough the lead.

    It came from a corner drilled into the box and it fell perfectly for Akpom at the far post, who sent it flying beyond John Ruddy.

    Deadlock broken at Deepdale and it's gone to the hosts!

    Emil Riis turns in from Alvaro Fernandez's delivery and West Brom's woeful away record could be about to get worse.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham City

    Minutes after going into the referee's book, Paddy McNair makes a good break down to the Birmingham byline.

    Just when he tries to pull the ball back though and cross it into the box, Krystian Bielik blocks it.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:07 British Summer Time 5 October 2022

    Preston 0-0 West Brom

    So close for Preston but what a save!

    Sean Maguire puts a shot into the West Bromwich Albion goal and draws a save from Alex Palmer.

    Then moments later, Palmer makes a point blank save to deny Ali McCann.

    Watford 0-0 Swansea

    Derek Payne

    Better from Watford. They've not had much possession over the opening 20 minutes but there's a bit of spark there now and some intelligent play.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Birmingham City

    Boro might be lucky here that Paddy McNair was only shown a yellow card, when Birmingham think it should have been red.

    McNair pulls on the shirt of Scott Hogan as he broke in behind the Boro defence. Juninho Bacuna takes the resulting free-kick but it goes wide.

    Wigan take the lead and it's come via a near-post header.

    The Latics play a corner short and Hull can't win the ball back. Thelo Aasgaard whips a ball in on the right straight to the head of Will Keane who makes no mistake inside the box.

    Not a great start for Hull.

    Burnley 0-0 Stoke

    Nathan Tella with an early chance for Burnley.

    He looked like he was through for a one-on-one with the keeper but Stoke defender Dujon Sterling was there to put some pressure on and force a poor shot.
