    Reading 0-0 Sheff Utd

    The home side more than giving as good as they're getting here.

    The Blades will go seven points clear of third with a win but at the moment they're holding on for a point.

    Tom Ince has had the best chances for the Royals but has not managed to test Wes Foderingham in the away goal.

    Watford appoint Wilder

    If you're just joining us, then you might not have seen that Watford made their second managerial change of the season earlier today.

    The Hornets announced on Tuesday afternoon that Slaven Bilic had been sacked and, about 15 minutes later, revealed that they had hired former Sheffield United and Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder as his replacement.

    Wilder, who has signed a contract until the end of the season, is the club's ninth full-time boss since September 2019.

    The Hornets sacked Spaniard Javi Gracia just four months after taking the club to the 2019 FA Cup final and since then Quique Sanchez Flores, Nigel Pearson, Vladimir Ivic, Xisco Munoz, Claudio Ranieri, Roy Hodgson, Rob Edwards and Bilic have all had spells in charge.

    The home side continuing to have the better of this.

    Some neat work between Andy Carroll and Tom Ince nearly sets up Shane Long.

    A sentence that I feel I could have written anytime from about 2011 to the present day...

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2023

    Huddersfield 0-0 Bristol City

    A scoreline that tells you just about everything you need to know about this one...

    The bottom side are indebted to two big saves from goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik to still be level in this game against their mid-table visitors.

    A draw will do next to nothing for Town's slim survival hopes.

    West Brom 1-0 Wigan

    Daryl Dike is in the mood now.

    The Baggies' goalscorer shows great skill to make a yard and lashes a powerful shot at goal that Ben Amos does well to turn against the post.

    Into six minutes of time added on at the end of the first half.

    The home side want a penalty as Brahima Diarra goes down in the area but the referee isn't interested.

    The home side take the lead!

    USA international Daryl Dike heads in a rebound after Ben Amos turns a Jayson Molumby effort on to the top of the crossbar.

    Not good news for the strugglers.

  10. League One updatepublished at 20:28 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2023

    As we've heard from Brent at Home Park, Derby have an early goal in the big game of the night in League One at Plymouth.

    David McGoldrick sends an overhead kick into the Plymouth half and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing races onto it, rounds the goalkeeper - just - and slots into an empty net.

    Not too much to report from this one.

    Play-off chasing West Brom have had the best chance but Jayson Molumby couldn't keep his effort on target.

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has given the Rams the lead here at Home Park.

    It's no more than Derby have deserved, they've had the better of the opening quarter of this game, although Argyle came close through Finn Azaz.

    As things stand, third-placed Ipswich are two points behind Argyle in League One, and Derby are up to fourth.

    Big save from Tomas Vaclik in the home goal.

    Mark Sykes is left all alone after the away side recycle a corner.

    The Robins are starting to get on top here against the division's bottom side.

    Jonson Clarke-Harris scores for PeterboroughImage source, Rex Features

    Ipswich lead at home to Accrington - and a lovely sweeping move it is too.

    Massimo Luongo sends Kayden Jackson away down the right and his low cross is turned home from six yards out by Nathan Broadhead.

    James Norwood and Nicky Cadden have scored two goals in three minutes to give Barnsley control against Portsmouth at Oakwell.

    Jonson Clarke-Harris had put Peterborough ahead at home to Shrewsbury (pictured) but Tom Flanagan has equalised with a powerful effort from inside the box after Posh failed to clear a free-kick. Both sides are just outside the League One play-offs.

    And Cambridge lead Morecambe through Jack Lankester. Those are two teams that started the night in the bottom four.

    That's as close as we've got in this one.

    A cross is flashed in and Sam Bell gets the contact at the near post but can't direct it on target for the away side.

    A quiet start in every respect at Huddersfield.

    The Terriers are bottom of the table and have lost their past two games 4-0 and it's FREEZING up in West Yorkshire this evening.

    Quite a lot of empty seats in the John Smith's Stadium.

    Quick bit of housekeeping, Wigan were forced into a very late change before kick off.

    Jack Whatmough was scheduled to start the match but Ryan Nyambe is in instead.
