This sums up the frustration for Swansea as Jay Fulton tries his luck from fully 35 yards and sends the ball high and wide, greeted by jeers from the travelling Hornets fans.

You can see why Swanea fans have been getting frustrated lately.

They are winless in their last eight Championship games but are still trying intricate short corner routines which end up with possession back on halfway within three seconds.

Not much in the way of action at St Andrew's in the opening 15 minutes, Hull are probably having the best of it so far and Regan Slater just sent a shot past the base of the post from outside the area.

Oof, Norwich hammering Reading in pursuit of the opener at Carrow Road.

Teemu Pukki runs into the box and draws a save from Joe Lumley, with Josh Sargent firing on the rebound and then Adam Idah then trying his luck to no avail.

Massive calls for a penalty from Burnley and Vincent Kompany is absolutely fuming.

It comes after Manuel Benson makes a run into the Stoke penalty area and is seemingly brought down by Morgan Fox.

Referee Keith Stroud takes a long look before deciding not to award a spot kick.

Ryan Manning whips in a glorious set-piece from the left after a storming run from Oli Cooper, but the ball evades everyone and is hacked away by Ismaila Sarr, wearing the unfamiliar blue of Watford's change strip.

It's still goalless at the Bet365 Stadium as Stoke look to put a halt to Championship leaders Burnley's good form to close out 2022.

The Clarets are in fine fettle coming into tonight's game having scored at least twice in three games leading up to tonight's trip down the M6.

Jordan Roberts has given Stevenage an early lead at home to crisis club Crawley.

The gap to leaders Leyton Orient, still goalless at Newport, narrows in the live league table.

Plenty of twists and turns to come tonight though, I'm sure.

Lincoln City have taken an early lead against Bolton Wanderers courtesy of Ben House.

That goal comes after the visitors had threatened through Kyle Dempsey moments beforehand.

Meanwhile, it's still goalless at Pride Park as Derby take on Cambridge, with Will Mannion saving from Lewis Dobbin as the hosts press early on.

Swansea are in need of a result tonight having failed to win in eight matches, even if Russell Martin would point out that five of those games have been draws.

The first job for Swansea is to avoid conceding the first goal, a feat they have managed in just one of the last eight - and that was a goalless draw at Huddersfield.

In truth, they should probably be behind here, with Keinan Davis wasting a golden chance to open the scoring by heading straight at Steven Benda from point-blank range.

A Watford corner is only half-cleared and Christian Kabasele gets another chance to swing the ball in, only for Keinan Davis to head straight at Steven Benda in the Swans goal.

A good opportunity, that!

Some typically pretty play from Swansea, those stat counters will be ticking away already, but not much in the way of action in the final third at either end in the opening stages in South Wales.

Tom Ince takes the free-kick for Reading as they press for an early goal at Carrow Road.

And he forces a save from Norwich keeper Angus Gunn who tips over the bar as Ince curls over the wall.

Teemu Pukki wins a corner for Norwich in the early stages here but Reading fight back and win a free-kick on the edge of the Canaries' box soon after.

End-to-end stuff in the opening few minutes of this one.

After clubs pay tribute to Brazil legend Pele, who died on Thursday, for the final time in 2022, we're about to get going in the English Football League.

The top two take centre stage tonight as they are involved in the division’s only two fixtures.

Leaders Leyton Orient have a seven-point lead over Stevenage and will seek to maintain that, at a minimum, as they make the long trip west to Newport.

County are 18th and have lost seven of their 11 home games, scoring only nine goals in front of their own fans.

The Os, by contrast, have the division’s best away record with 23 points from their 10 matches, and have suffered just one defeat.

Stevenage, in second, are also facing a team in the doldrums, welcoming Crawley, who parted ways with new manager Matty Etherington and assistant Simon Davies on Thursday after less than five weeks and just three matches at the club.

Crawley have taken only five points on the road, scoring eight goals in 10 matches and are yet to win on their travels.

Steve Evans' Stevenage will fancy their chances of extending their record against a side led by caretaker boss Darren Byfield with co-chairman Preston Johnson alongside him in the dugout.

Derby know avoiding defeat at home by Cambridge would be enough to see them return to the top six, though they’ll surely be seeking to close the 14-point gap on the top three.

Tuesday’s stalemate at Bolton made it nine unbeaten for Paul Warne’s side, though six of those have been draws.

Cambridge were fifth themselves after seven games but a meagre 11 points from the 15 games since has seen them slide into the bottom six, though they did earn their first win in six against Shrewsbury on Monday.

History is not on their side tonight, however, United have only scored one goal in their last 10 league games against Derby, that coming 30 years ago, and are winless in 13 encounters dating back to 1980-81.

Bolton are current occupiers of that fifth place and will be seeking to at the very least maintain their one point advantage over Derby as they head to Lincoln.

The Imps have won one of their last seven and lost 3-0 at Burton on Monday while Wanderers come into the game on the back of one defeat in six and that draw with Derby.

Watford travel to Swansea tonight having won three of their past four away league games.

That's even more impressive when you consider it's as many as they had in their previous 22 games on their travels beforehand.

Swansea welcome the Hornets aiming to complete a league double over tonight's opponents for the first time since 1978-79.

Could be a decent game.

Stoke come into tonight's game against Championship leaders Burnley with a less than stellar record in their final game of the calendar year.

The Potters have won just two of their past 15 end-of-calendar year games, most recently winning in 2015.

Burnley on the other hand, are riding high at the top of the league under Vincent Kompany but haven't won away from home in their final game of the year since 1979.

Could we be in for a record-busting evening at the Bet365 Stadium?

It's Norwich's first game after the sacking of former boss Dean Smith on Tuesday and they take on Reading hoping to restore some consistency to their form.

Ahead of tonight's match against the Royals, Norwich have been on a run of just three wins from their past 13 Championship games.

Caretaker head coach Allan Russell, who takes charge of the club alongside Steve Weaver, said he wants to bring back some positivity to Carrow Road.
