    Gus Hamer cuts in and sends a right-foot effort goalbound.

    Darnell Furlong appears to block with his arm.

    But City win only a corner, from which Jonathan Panzo climbs highest in a crowded six-yard box but heads against the bar.

    It'll be interesting to see what Albion do now. It looks like Yokuslu and Molumby in the middle of the park.

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    First change.

    Jayson Molumby comes on in midfield for the disappointing Matt Phillips.

    Tom Rogic looks to have been pushed further forward.

    It's becoming a bit of a midfield scrap as neither side wants to risk too much.

    A lot or to-ing and fro-ing with no end product.

    But then away keeper Alex Palmer has to dart off his line to welly one clear as Gus Hamer threatened down the middle. And Cov win a corner, which comes to nothing.

    Home skipper Jamie Allen has the first effort of the second half, a right-foot curler from just inside the 18-yard box, comfortably saved by Albion keeper Alex Palmer, before Gus Hamer tries his luck from range, but pulls it wide of the left upright.

    Remember, this isn't the only football this evening, with three ties in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

    Nottingham Forest have the lead at Blackburn thanks to Brennan Johnson's penalty and Christian Eriksen has put Manchester United in front against Burnley, but Charlton are so far holding Brighton.

    It's been a scrappy game. Coventry were the better side early on and Albion had to defend well.

    Albion have had a couple of decent half-chances and they probably should have scored with one of them.

    But they have stuck in there and got a clean sheet.

    This is anybody's game and I wonder if Daryl Dike will come on to give Albion more power and a targetman up front to play off.

    The game is there to be won for either side.

    It's no surprise, with how West Brom have set up, that it's 0-0 at half-time.

    Coventry have had six or seven shots but almost all of them from distance.

    From Coventry's point of view, they've defended pretty well but they've had a couple of alarming moments. West Brom won't keep missing the types of chances they've had.

    Not much added time. Just a minute.

    It's almost like that World Cup never happened!

    Callum O'Hare fires just wide of the left post with a powerful effort before Gus Hamer goes even closer with a dipping right-foot shot which Alex Palmer tips over.

    Coventry getting closer and closer.

    West Brom got caught square pushing up on the halfway line and Gyokeres was too quick. He'll be disappointed he's not scored, if he'd have gone across the goalkeeper he might have had more joy.

  15. GREAT SAVESpublished at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2022

    Coventry City 0-0 West Bromwich Albion

    Two chances in quick succession at either end.

    First Viktor Gyokeres is denied by Albion keeper Alex Palmer at his near post after being sent clear by Gus Hamer down the right.

    Then City keeper Ben Wilson holds firm to deny Jed Wallace, who tries to curl one round him and might be disappointed he did not do better, as will be Matt Phillips whose rtight-foot volley is just over .

    Less artful is Callum Doyle's attempted ball over the top, with the touch of a navvie wearing builder's boots. It doesn't land within 20 yards of a Coventry player. An audible groan!

    There's not a lot of room to play in behind West Brom, they're playing quite deep.

    For me, Coventry have had the bulk of the possession and the best of the chances, albeit no gilt-edged chances.

    They're going to have to be patient because West Brom will be difficult to break down.

    Now Gus Hamer tries to jink his way through with a bit of artful Brazilian trickery, but there is no way through the red wall.

    Coventry are playing a lot of nice football - but it's coming to nothing.

    A Jack Burroughs delivery from the right is straight at Alex Palmer, then the lively Viktor Gyokeres finds his way blocked as he tries to twist and turn his way through.

    Callum Doyle has done brilliantly but that should have been 1-0 to Albion. If Tom Rogic puts some pace on it, it's a goal.

    The best chance of the game so far.
