    FT: Luton 2-0 Watford

    In the early games, Luton kept up their automatic promotion challenge alive with victory over rivals Watford, while Blackpool remain deep in trouble after a 3-1 defeat at Preston in the Lancashire derby.

    For Luton, victory over the Hornets in the first derby played at Kenilworth Road in front of fans for 17 years, lifted them to within three points of the top two before the rest of this afternoon's programme.

    Head coach Rob Edwards, who began the season in charge of Watford, told BBC Three Counties Radio: "The players were outstanding, every single one of them, to the point where it made me emotional at the end.

    "We're in a really good position, we're going to keep out foot down and see where it takes us. The lads know how to win games and we're going to continue to do that - there are seven huge games to go.

    "The club is on a high - there's no guarantees we're going do anything and I dont want to start talking like something is going to happen - but we all feel something could.

    "We wanted to be in the mix with five games to go and it looks like we will be. I believe in that group of players with total faith. They keep proving people wrong."

    Watford boss Chris Wilder added: "The best team won - that's why they're 12 points clear of where we are.

    "That's why they'll be fighting for something at the end of the season and if it's going to be this [from us], it's going to be mid-table obscurity."

    How big could this prove to be?!

    Finnish forward Marcus Forss gives third-placed Boro the lead at the struggling Terriers just before the break.

    As it stands they are now just two points behind second-placed Sheffield United.

    GOAL: Coventry 0-2 Stokepublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    Tyrese Campbell (40 mins)

    Coventry are incensed. They are adamant that Tyrese Campbell was offside when he was played through by a long ball from Ki-Jana Hoever after Stoke cleared a Sky Blues corner.

    Campbell was left in acres of space to stroll through and slot past Ben Wilson. The officials insist he was onside. Either way the Potters are 2-0 up and you can't deny they deserve their lead.

    Big chance for West Brom to break the deadlock against Millwall and keep up their push for the Championship play-offs.

    Cardiff 1-2 Swansea

    What a game we have on our hands here.

    Just as Cardiff were threatening for the first time, Swansea broke forward to double their lead through Liam Cullen's header.

    The home fans were fearing the worst for a moment - but an instant response from Jaden Philogene, who has been Cardiff's best player by a distance, has transformed the mood.

    Having scored for the first time in four derbies, the Bluebirds are on the front foot.

    Big appeals for a Cardiff penalty as Jaden Philogene goes down in the area. Nothing doing, says the ref. The fans are not impressed.

    Nearly the opener for the second-placed Blades!

    Defender Anel Ahmedhodzic sees his effort from a corner come back off the crossbar.

    It's getting feisty in Norfolk, with a flurry of bookings a few minutes ago.

    You can't take your eyes off this one. Cardiff have a lifeline, and a goal against their rivals at long last, which should banish some memories.

    This is a superb individual effort from Jaden Philogene who picks the ball up, drives past the defender and fires past Andy Fisher from distance.

    Now the Bluebirds have banished the word 'nil' from their mind, can they complete the comeback?

    Wigan 1-0 QPR

    Bad news for Wigan.

    They're forced into an early change as Danel Sinani goes down with an injury. He's replaced by Thelo Aasgaard.

    They still lead QPR 1-0 courtesy of Max Power's earlier penalty, which came after Sinani was brought down in the box.

    Another side getting back on level terms is Wycombe with David Wheeler cancelling out Daniel Harvie's opener for MK Dons.

    Barnsley are now 2-0 up and cruising against Accrington after Dynel Simeu's own goal doubled their advantage.

    Charlton lead Shrewsbury through Scott Fraser and Exeter's Kevin McDonald has put his side level with Fleetwood.
