    Oxford equalise against Sheffield Wednesday from the spot through Cameron Brannigan. A huge goal at both ends of the table.

    Reading 1-1 Birmingham

    The visitors are pushing midway through the second half in Berkshire.

    Tahith Chong shoots from a narrow angle but Royals keeper Joe Lumley saves well.

    With other clubs picking up points at the bottom, Reading are dropping into the relegation zone as things stand.

    That six-point deduction this week looks like it could cost Reading badly.

    Blackburn 0-2 Norwich

    Norwich might be winning, but this is a game that could come with a heavy cost.

    They are forced into another change with Ben Gibson forced off injured. That comes after Grant Hanley also went off hurt in the first half.

    Despite the setback, there is something special about seeing Teemu Pukki come off the bench in his first game since announcing he would leave the club at the end of the season.

    Meanwhile, Hiram Boateng has given Mansfield a fourth goal away to Swindon.

    If Tom Cannon scores one more he will go home with the ball.

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Wigan

    Sheffield United are so nearly punished for not making the most of all their chances.

    After Tom Naylor has a fierce goal-bound effort blocked, the ball is worked back into the area for Thelo Aasgaard to try his luck with a header.

    Wes Foderingham is alive to the danger and makes an excellent reaction save for the Blades.

    Blackpool 0-3 Cardiff City

    Mick McCarthy makes a change as forward Keshi Anderson comes on for midfielder Charlie Patino, while CJ Hamilton is on for Ian Poveda.

    Cardiff respond by bringing on Andy Rinomhota to replace Romaine Sawyer.

    Surely too big a mountain to climb now.

    GOAL: QPR 0-2 Prestonpublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 7 April 2023

    Tom Cannon (63 mins)

    A quickfire second for the Lilywhites.

    Preston win the ball in midfield and the ball finds its way all the way through to Tom Cannon via a Troy Parrott flick.

    The striker is suddenly in behind the Rangers defence and Cannon keeps his composure to slot home and put QPR deeper into the mire.

    A double this afternoon takes his personal tally to five goals in as many games.

    QPR are lurching towards another costly defeat.

    The race to promotion and the race against relegation is certainly getting more interesting in League One!

    Plymouth have levelled against struggling Morecambe thanks to Danny Mayor while their promotion rivals Ipswich are now 3-0 up against Wycombe after Wes Burns found the net for the Tractor Boys.

    The chance keep coming for hosts Sheffield United as they look to double their lead against bottom side Wigan.

    Quite the game going on at Spotland right now.

    Relegation-threatened Rochdale could be on their way to a second League Two win in a row after Max Taylor wrestled the lead back in their favour minutes after Walsall had made it 2-2.

    If it stays like this, Rochdale will be six points off safety with six games to go.

    Tom Cannon (59 mins)

    Things have gone from bad to worse for QPR, who can't escape that losing feeling.

    Preston are still in with a shout of a play-off place and lead through a fine header from Tom Cannon.

    The striker gets in front of his man about 10 yards out to guide in Robbie Brady's cross from the left.

    That's four goals in five games for the on-loan Everton man.

    Rangers, meanwhile, are heading for ninth defeat in 10 outings unless they can find a response. As it stands they are one point above the relegation zone.

    Tom Knowles has drawn Walsall level against bottom side Rochdale.

    That equaliser comes after Dale had scored twice to come from behind to lead against the Saddlers in the first half while fellow strugglers Harrogate are now 2-0 down to Wimbledon after Ethan Chislett's goal.

    At the other end of the table, a big goal for Stockport who's taken the lead against Sutton thanks to Jack Stretton.

    QPR 0-0 Preston

    That goal for Huddersfield has upped the pressure on another one of Terriers boss Neil Warnock's former clubs.

    QPR are now just two points above the bottom three as things stand.

    Chris Willock has just gone close for the hosts, but curled narrowly wide of the post.

    Neil Warnock's side are at it again!

    After back-to-back wins over play-off hopefuls Millwall and promotion-chasing Middlesbrough, the Terriers have come back to lead at Watford.

    Keighley Cannavaro floats a free-kick into the box where Matty Pearson heads goalwards.

    Danny Ward looks to add a finishing touch, but it goes straight into the far corner.

    The Terriers could be climbing out of the drop zone today.

    Blackpool 0-3 Cardiff City

    Blackpool have conceded 10 goals and counting in their past three games and need a quick response if they are to salvage anything.

    Nothing doing though in a quiet start to the second half.

    If things stay the way they are, Blackpool will be six points from safety with six games to play, while Cardiff will move two points clear of the drop zone.

    Norwich have gone a long, long way towards cutting the gap to Blackburn Rovers in the play-off spots now.

    Gabriel Sara finds the top corner with a stunning finish from a tight angle after running ono a pass from Onel Hernandez just inside the area.

    If Barnsley are to keep pace in the battle for automatic promotion from League One, they really need to beat Burton today.

    But the Brewers are ahead after the break courtesy of Conor Shaughnessy.

    Meanwhile, Ephron Mason-Clark has doubled Peterborough's advantage against Shrewsbury.

    Billy Sharp reacts to a missed chance for Sheffield UnitedImage source, PA Media

    Sheffield United have had a few big chances to double their lead today, and few have been as big as this.

    Billy Sharp ghosts away from his marker and finds himself with a free header in the area when a cross comes in from the right.

    The finish, however, is lacking as he nods the ball downwards and Ben Amos does well to to see it over the bar as it bounces up.
