    GOAL: Huddersfield 0-1 Coventry

    Viktor Gyokeres (31 mins)

    Viktor Gyokeres is gifted his 16th league goal of the season to put Coventry City up against Neil Warnock's relegation threatened Huddersfield.

    Michal Helik's back pass is a poor one and Gyokeres is straight onto it before lifting the ball over the goalkeeper and home.

    Gianni InfantinoGetty Images

    We're more used to seeing him at the World Cup or major international games but FIFA president Gianni Infantino has decided to make a visit to The Den today.

    I have to say we're not sure quite why but we'll work on that for you!

    He looks delighted to be watching on, posing for plenty of selfies with fans.

    Maybe he's a secret Millwall fan?

  4. Sunderland 0-0 Stoke

    Stoke are appealing for a penalty as Dwight Gayle thinks he is tugged inside the box. Referee Jeremy Simpson is not convinced.

  6. Watford 0-0 Preston

    Alvaro Fernandez has a crack at goal from long range, much like his Preston team-mate Ched Evans did earlier.

    But this time he slices wide of the mark.

    Squad Goals

    Tom Bradshaw has been on fire with five goals in his past four games and he has continued that good form.

    Give him the ball at the moment and he'll do the rest!

  13. Wigan 0-1 Birmingham

    Can Wigan get back into this game? Well they need to, given their league position.

    Max Power rushes forward and tries his luck 25 yards out from the Birmingham goal, but his effort sails over the bar.

  14. Millwall 0-0 Norwich

    A great covering tackle from Norwich's Dimitris Giannoulis averts the danger as the Lions look to grab the opener.

    Oliver Burke latched-on to Millwall goalkeeper George Long's ummm long, through ball but the Canaries escape on this occasion.

  15. Sunderland 0-0 Stoke

    A big goal at the bottom.

  20. Luton 0-0 Swansea

    Swansea are first to threaten in this one.

    Luton goalkeeper Ethan Horvath is tested by Luke Cundle's low shot from the edge of the area.
