With more than 60% of possession and the lead through Kyle Bartley's header, West Brom are performing as if a place outside the Championship relegation zone depends on it.

Bartley could have scored earlier had he not been denied by the crossbar, and Stoke have twice cleared off the line. The Potters have beaten West Brom more than any other side in their history but they will need a much-improved second half to turn this game around.

The second post-Nathan Jones era at Luton has not begun in ideal style thanks to that Jamie Lindsay strike when many supporters at a sold-out Kenilworth Road had only just taken their seats.

The visitors had gone five without a win before their win at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night. Is a second successive victory on the way? They haven't looked unduly troubled.

Mark Harris capitalises on a very clumsy back pass to Wes Foderingham and manages to round the Blades keeper but the angle is too tight for him to get a shot away.

Callum Robinson picks the ball up instead, but Foderingham recovers in time to save his effort.

The traffic has been going all Swansea's way during the majority of this half - eight shots, four on target, to two from the hosts, with more than 70% possession.

It's Huddersfield though who are enjoying a spell in the box as we head to the break, with Michal Helik getting on the end of Sorba Thomas' free-kick but he sends it wide.

Ryan Woods sends a shot wide for Hull, then Jeff Hendrick is booked for Reading.

This has been an entertaining half at the MKM Stadium, with 10 shots between the sides so far.

In a turn of events that may surprise no-one, Bartley almost scores with a header again.

No prizes for guessing what Alex Neil might be identifying as one danger area for his players.

A good contest as Norwich and Middlesbrough chase the next goal.

Gabriel Sara has put one in the side-netting for the home side as they search for a second, while Ben Gibson got in the way of Isaiah Jones to prevent Boro from levelling.

West Brom have already won as many Championship games in November as in the first three months of the season.

They are chasing a third successive win.

Viktor Johansson is known as 'The Viking' by Rotherham fans and he's further enhanced his enduring popularity with two alert pieces of goalkeeping.

He tips Allan Campbell's long-range drive over the crossbar, then punches an ensuing cross clear.

Ched Evans obviously has the taste for goals after ending his drought.

This time, his header is just the wrong side of the post.

Remember, Preston had the best defence in the league. Millwall had not scored in three games and it's all thrills and spills.

Bristol City players call for a penalty for a second time as Nahki Wells is seemingly dragged to the ground in the box.

Nothing given again as Nigel Pearson tries to calm his players down from the dugout.

In case you were wondering, the last penalty Bristol City were awarded was at the start of November 2021.

West Brom couldn't have come any closer without scoring than they have in this half so far!

Kyle Bartley heads John Swift's corner against the crossbar. Once again, they're not playing like a relegation side.

Leaders Plymouth are in front away at Lincoln thanks to Adam Randell’s strike.

Morecambe have gone ahead at home to Portsmouth through Liam Shaw and Cheltenham have equalised against Ipswich through Ryan Broom.

Charlton are in front away at Cambridge thanks to a quickfire Charlie Kirk double.

Yakou Meite can be a key player for Reading, he has that physicality and aerial ability. He has a threat.

With Andy Carroll in there and Lucas Joao, they have players with physicality.

We have some action in front of goal to actually speak of!

It's the Bluebirds who threaten to break the deadlock first. Ryan Wintle has a shot from distance on the volley that goes narrowly wide, before Callum Robinson just misses the target with a header, after a cross from Callum O'Dowda.

Jacob Wakeling has levelled things up for Swindon at home to Tranmere.

Northampton lead Gillingham thanks to Sam Hoskins.

Reading reply! Nathan Baxter does well to keep a Junior Hoilett effort out, sending the danger behind for a corner.

The Canada international's delivery reaches Yakou Meite at the far post, who prods in to draw Reading level!

Reading force another corner but it's Hull who have gone closest in the recent exchanges, Amadou Mbengue blocking an attempt by Regan Slater, who was City's two-goal saviour in their late 3-2 win at Cardiff on Tuesday.
