  1. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-1 Birminghampublished at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Joel Piroe (23 mins)

    Birmingham's lead lasted 10 minutes.

    Joel Piroe was denied by John Ruddy early on but gets the better of him this time with a sweetly-struck right-footed shot beyond the keeper.

    Nice turn to make space from the Dutchman too - that's his 11th goal of the campaign.

    Millwall 0-0 Sunderland

    Quiet start at The Den, with Millwall coming closest as Mason Bennett has fired wide for the hosts.

  3. Postpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Hull 0-0 Cardiff

    Another decent spell from Hull as Cyrus Christie beats his marker and wins a corner as Cardiff deflect his low shot away for a corner.

    That corner is sent into the box and is headed over the bar by Alfie Jones.

    Wycombe are firmly in the play-off hunt and have gone 1-0 up at Port Vale.

    Brandon Hanlan has put Gareth Ainsworth's side, winners of two of their last three games, ahead. They are up to seventh, as things stand.

    Charlton are only seven points behind them and now have a 2-0 lead at Exeter, Corey Blackett-Taylor grabbing the second.

  5. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Luton 1-0 Stoke

    Luton are convinced they should have a penalty at Kenilworth Road.

    Cracking bit of skill from Jordan Clark to evade a couple of Stoke defenders and he goes down under a challenge but nothing doing. Pretty loud appeals from the Luton players.

  6. Postpublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Reading 0-0 Watford

    A slow start in this one but Reading with the best chance of the match 17 minutes in.

    Junior Hoilett with a knifing run down the left channel and feeds Shane Long who cuts inside and gets off a decent shot.

    But Daniel Bachmann in the Watford goal is equal to it and saves low at the corner.

  7. Hogan hurts Swans againpublished at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Swansea 0-1 Birmingham

    No other current Birmingham City player has scored more league goals versus Swansea than Scott Hogan, who has now netted four against the Swans.

    That penalty was his 10th league goal of the campaign.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Hull 0-0 Cardiff

    Regan Slater seizes the intiative for Hull as he cuts inside and shoots goalbound as they look to take the lead early on against Cardiff.

    His shot takes a deflection and cannons off the post.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Huddersfield 0-1 QPRpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Jamal Lowe (13 mins)

    Ilias Chair tries his luck from distance as QPR test Huddersfield early on.

    He forces a save from new signing Tomas Vaclik who puts it out for a corner.

    The corner's sent into the box and Jamal Lowe finds the opener for the visitors with a header as the Terriers fail to clear their lines.

    Scott Hogan pen (14 mins)

    Birmingham barely had a kick in the opening 13 minutes.

    Then Reda Khadra gets a kick - on his leg, from Andrew Fisher, in the Swansea area.

    Penalty which top scorer Scott Hogan coolly tucks away.

    Rochdale, bottom of the entire Football League, are 1-0 down at Salford, who have Matt Smith to thank for their early lead.

    John McAtee has also put Grimsby ahead on the road at Crewe. The Mariners have lost five straight away from home in the league but did get a draw at Luton in the FA Cup last weekend, of course.

  12. Off the linepublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Luton 1-0 Stoke

    Luton almost have a second as Tom Lockyer meets a corner with a fine header but Phil Jagielka clears off the line.

  13. Postpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Swansea 0-0 Birmingham

    John Ruddy's earning his corn today.

    The Blues stopper has made two good saves in the opening stages in south Wales, the latest to deny Liam Cullen one-on-one.

    Birmingham in terrible form recently and have left Troy Deeney out of the squad completely today.

    Jesuran Rak-Sakyi has broken the deadlock for Charlton at Exeter after just eight minutes. Plenty of time left for a play-off push for Dean Holden's side this season.

  15. Postpublished at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Blackpool

    Blackpool start brightly against Middlesbrough and test Zack Steffen early.

    It comes after Callum Connolly heads a free-kick across the face of the Boro goal, forcing Steffen into punching clear.

    GOAL: Luton 1-0 Stokepublished at 15:08 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu (6 mins)

    We mentioned that Stoke have been Luton's bogey team.

    The Hatters have found a handkerchief though.

    Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu with a heatseeker from around 25 yards that finds the bottom corner. Debutant Stoke keeper Matija Sarkic was a bit slow to react - might have been unsighted and saw it late.

    That's PRM's first Luton goal in 18 months.

  17. goal

    GOAL: Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Plymouthpublished at 15:08 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Callum Paterson (6 mins)

    Well, well, well. Wednesday are ahead, and go top of the table in the live league table.

    A crisp first-time finish from Callum Paterson has broken the deadlock and silenced the 4,000 travelling Argyle fans who have made the 300-mile journey north.

    The last team to beat Wednesday was Plymouth in October, can Argyle find a reply?

    GOAL: Preston 0-1 Bristol Citypublished at 15:08 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Mark Sykes (6 mins)

    A mistake from Preston's Robbie Brady who is still apologising to his goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.

    Mark Sykes intercepts, rounds Woodman and passes into an open net.

    Bristol Rovers are playing their first home league game since New Year's Day... and they are behind inside two minutes.

    Mo Eisa has put the visitors MK Dons ahead from the penalty spot. MK have picked up more points away than they have at home... will that pattern continue today?

  20. Protest banner at Huddersfieldpublished at 15:07 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    Huddersfield 0-0 QPR

    There's a protest banner at Huddersfield this afternoon with the Terriers struggling at the bottom of the Championship.

    They take on QPR today hoping that they can make a break out of the bottom three.
