    Reading 0-1 Millwall

    Millwall still lead thanks to an early penalty and Reading aren't creating much in the way of a response.

    Andy Carroll can be a real handful on his day, though, so 1-0 is far from a comfortable lead for the visitors.

    Burnley 1-0 Wigan

    Burnley come close to a second, but for Ben Amos stretching to claw away an Ian Maatsen strike.

    The Clarets nearly rued that as well, as substitute Steven Caulker meets a Tendayi Darikwa ball and Arijanet Muric has to react to save.

    Coventry 0-0 Hull

    Coventry come so close to opening the scoring but somehow the Tigers have scrapped their way out of trouble.

    Fankaty Dabo's initial shot beats Karl Darlow but is cleared off the line and Matty Godden can't steer home the rebound.

    Hearts aflutter at the back for the visitors.

    QPR 1-0 Watford

    A run of one win in eight league games cost Slaven Bilic his job as Watford boss.

    Under new management, they're behind again and not threatening the QPR goal too much.

    QPR most recently won on 17 December - the day before the World Cup final.

    Swansea 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough's Championship top-scorer Chuba Akpom hasn't been able to impose himself on this game yet, but the Teessiders have had a chance.

    Riley McGree ensures Andy Fisher is paying attention with a dig, saving without any issues.

    Boro have sought to use the left-side width of Ryan Giles but a string of deliveries are yet to be despatched.

    Despite their poor record coming into the match today, Birmingham have doubled their lead.

    It comes from a corner from Tahith Chong which isn't dealt with by Rotherham and it falls to the feet of Kevin Long who fires it into the goal.

    Coventry 0-0 Hull

    Hull have been forced into a change, with Benjamin Tetteh forced to come off and Oscar Estupinan is introduced in return.

    Coventry are denied a chance once play resumes, with Matty Godden blocked off after getting a shot away.

  10. PENALTY: West Brompublished at 15:30 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2023

    West Brom 0-0 Huddersfield

    The referee points to the spot as Conor Townsend goes down in the box under a challenge from Matty Pearson.

    Preston 0-0 Cardiff

    Not a huge amount of action yet at either end with half an hour almost gone.

    Troy Parrott drives a low effort at goal for Preston and forces Jak Alnwick into a save but it's not one that causes him too much bother.

  12. RED CARD: Rekik (Wigan)published at 15:29 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2023

    Burnley 1-0 Wigan

    Omar Rekik has been sent-off for a second bookable offence, diving in to haul down the livewire Nathan Tella, and Wigan are down to 10.

    The task just got tougher for Wigan against the Championship's top side.

    Sheffield United 0-0 Luton

    With Middlesbrough trailing at Swansea, as well as Blackburn's loss at Stoke last night, this could be a golden chance for Sheffield United to create a lot more breathing space between themselves and the chasing pack.

    Jayden Bogle has forced a save with a header but it's still goalless at Bramall Lane.

    Cheltenham are in a fight to beat the drop but have scored two quick goals at in-form Peterborough.

    Tom Bradbury and Alfie May has put the visitors 2-0 up.

    Forest Green are 11 points adrift of safety and have seen their early lead wiped out as Bristol Rovers now lead 2-1 through John Marquis and Scott Sinclair.

    Louie Sibley has equalised for play-off chasing Derby at struggling Oxford, and Joe Powell has doubled Burton's lead over Wycombe.

    Burnley 1-0 Wigan

    The pressure is mounting on Wigan at Turf Moor, with Nathan Tella close to a second.

    You'd back him to steer it past Ben Amos all day, but the Southampton loanee sticks it wide.

    Two would be a tough scoreline to come back from, even this early on.

    Stevenage had failed to score in three of their previous four games but are already 2-0 up at home to Walsall.

    Luke Norris has doubled the lead.

    The Saddlers are without a win in their last eight.

    West Brom 0-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield desperately need some goals having not found the net since February. Tom Lees almost gives the Terriers the lead, but his header goes just over.

    At the other end, Erik Pieters strikes from outside the box for West Brom although it eventually ends up in the hands of the keeper.

    Tim Iroegbunam (15 mins)

    Chris Wilder's Watford are behind and Gareth Ainsworth could be on course for his first win at QPR boss.

    Tim Iroegbunam is the scorer, firing into the corner beyond Daniel Bachmann.

  20. goal

    GOAL: Swansea 1-0 Middlesbroughpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2023

    Joel Piroe (15 mins)

    Number 14 for the season for Joel Piroe who strikes against the run of play for Swansea.

    Piroe meets Ryan Manning's centre to beat Zach Steffen and put the Swans ahead.

    Boro had been dominant, but have met a suckerpunch.
