    A lot of the relegation focus has been on Forest Green in League One, but Accrington are also scrapping in the drop zone.

    Despite being 3-0 and a man down after 57 minutes, they are battling to try to rescue a point against Fleetwood.

    Michael Nottingham pulled one back just after the hour mark, with Tommy Leigh now setting up a tense finish after making it 3-2 with nine minutes left.

    Fire drill time at Loftus Road.

    Gustavo Hamer squares for Viktor Gyokeres and it's a simple goal for the Swede. No.20 of his Championship season.

    Coventry rubber-stamping their place in the play-offs.

    QPR. Oh dear.

    Gustavo Hamer (86 mins)

    He's Brazilian, he only cost them a million and he has come up with a priceless goal!

    Gustavo Hamer arrives in the box, he is denied first time by Seny Dieng but not second as he seals the three points.

    Reading 0-0 Burnley

    Manuel Benson has had to be helped off and Burnley have no subs left. They'll finish with 10.

    Unfortunately for Reading you don't get extra points for holding the league leaders, so as it stands it'll be just a point for Noel Hunt in his first game in interim charge.

    Burnley sought to get in before with Darko Churnilov, but the referee's assistant's flag was raised

    One point better than none, has to be the maxim. Unless Burnley deny them that late on...

    Millwall 2-0 Preston

    Gary Rowett has removed both of his goalscorers this afternoon in Tom Bradshaw and Zian Flemming.

    This would be a huge three points in their battle to secure a top-six spot.

  6. RED CARDpublished at 16:46 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    Sunderland 2-1 Birmingham

    It might be a tricky final 10 minutes for Sunderland as Dennis Cirkin is shown a second yellow card and sent off.

  7. Elsewhere in the EFL...published at 16:44 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    Forest Green Rovers have a goal back against Barnsley.

    Reece Brown makes the scoreline less grim at 4-1, but they are almost certain to have relegation from League One confirmed today.

    Millwall 2-0 Preston

    Preston are close to halving the deficit but Liam Delap's effort is cleared off the line by Scott Malone.

    Bodies on the line, boys!

    Jayson Molumby (69 mins)

    Jayson Molumby grabs his second of the afternoon and puts West Brom back in the play-off picture!

    It's another scrappy goal - Karlan Grant hits the bar and Molumby follows it up to bundle the ball just about over the line.

    The Baggies are a couple of points outside the play-offs as it stands but have a game in hand on some of the teams around them.

    Blackpool 1-0 Wigan

    Costly afternoon for both these strugglers.

    Having already seen James Husband withdrawn after a head knock, now Blackpool have to take off an injured Ian Poveda.

    Wigan themselves lost Jack Whatmough earlier on too. Bruising affair between two sides full of desperation.

    Make that four for Ipswich Town!

    Freddie Ladapo comes off the bench and after just a few touches makes it 4-0 in what is turning into a thumping against Charlton Athletic.

    With Sheffield Wednesday still 3-1 down at Burton, it looks as it Ipswich will park themselves in the second of the automatic promotion spots at the end of the day.

    Rotherham 0-2 Luton

    Luton rack up another chance, this as Sonny Bradley connecting with a Cody Drameh cross and forcing Josh Vickers into a save.

    That third just won't come.

    Swansea 1-0 Huddersfield

    Neil Warnock now has to try and rally the troops to try to find an equaliser. It would be so precious.

    As things stand, Huddersfield will be just one point above the drop zone.

    Brilliant goal and Sunderland's play-off hopes are reignited!

    Amad Diallo weaves his way into the Birmingham box and curls the ball into the corner.

    It's his 12th goal of the campaign and the Manchester United loanee might not have scored a more important one.

    Conor Chaplin has his hat-trick for Ipswich Town, who are cruising towards a sixth straight home win as they lead Charlton 3-0.

    That's his 25th goal of the season!

    MK Dons have turned things around against Cheltenham as they try put a little distance between them and the relegation places in League One today.

    Mohamed Eisa's second-half penalty has put them 2-1 ahead after Mohamed Eisa levelled just before the break.

    QPR boss Gareth Ainsworth has just rolled the dice with a triple change.

    Chris Willock, Ethan Laird and Jamal Lowe have been sent on as the Hoops desperately search for a goal.

    Rotherham 0-2 Luton

    Luton have this game in the palm of their hand at the moment, a welcome three points as it stands.

    They've come close to a third, Allan Campbell darting in to attack Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu's cut-back but the effort was blocked.

    In reply, Rotherham did have a chance when Domingos Quina teed up Jamie Lindsay and then sub Ollie Rathbone, but the Hatters showed their defensive mettle to stub it out.

    Millwall are sitting very pretty now!

    A very Millwall goal, too. Scott Malone swings over the free-kick, Jake Cooper helps it on and Zian Flemming turns it home.

    A 14th goal of the season for the little Dutchman.

    Millwall are really going to tighten their position in fifth with this scoreline.

    When it's not your day...

    Sub Ashley Fletcher lofts a ball in for Wigan looking for Theo Aasgaard, but he just can't get over the ball to nod it down.

    Blackpool retain grasp of the lead.

    Just what the doctor ordered for the Baggies and their play-off hopes!

    It's madness in the box as John Swift's corner bobbles around, Brandon Thomas-Asante smacks the ball against the bar, but Jayson Molumby is there to head in the rebound.

    They're about 15 minutes behind the other Championship games after the first-half injury to Stoke's Ben Wilmot.
