    Reading moving the ball about smartly work another chance, with Nesta Guinness-Walker, Andy Carroll and Lucas Joao combining to tee up Femi Azeez.

    Azeez has his shot blocked, but it's another promising moment for the Royals in front of their home support.

    The leaders are being given a defensive examination.

    Ryan Manning (69 mins)

    All that possession finally brings its reward for Swansea!

    Ryan Manning has got the goal to threaten Huddersfield's five-match unbeaten run.

    Manning's shot deflects wickedly off Terriers captain Jonathan Hogg and gives goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik little chance.

    The race for promotion in League Two has been shaped somewhat in the second half after George Lapslie put Gillingham up against high-flyers Stockport.

    It's that result, coupled with Stevenage's lead against AFC Wimbledon, that has Steve Evans side back in the automatic promotion places at it stands.

    Meanwhile, Walsall are 2-0 and a man down against Crewe after Joss Labadie was shown a second yellow card.

    Blackpool 1-0 Wigan

    Blackpool have the lead but they've seen defender James Husband forced off with a head injury, and and Jordan Gabriel comes on as a replacement.

    Sonny Carey is on for Morgan Rogers, but that one's tactical.

    Time running down at Bloomfield Road for Shaun Maloney's 'Tics.

    Mansfield Town are holding on to a play-off spot in League Two by the narrowest of margins right now.

    George Lloyd has levelled for Grimsby, but with Salford still 1-0 down against Colchester the Stags sneak in despite being level on points.

    In the fascinating race for promotion, Stevenage have gone ahead against AFC Wimbledon which is a result that could take them up to third as it stands.

    In League One, Robert Street has put Shrewsbury up against Portsmouth.

    Reading 0-0 Burnley

    Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Kelvin Ehibhatiomha is replaced for Reading by big Andy Carroll off the bench.

    Burnley's Ameen Al-Dakhil and Jordan Beyer know what's coming it's fair to say.

    Still goalless, but Noel Hunt giving a proper go here.

    Blackpool 1-0 Wigan

    Blackpool v WiganImage source, Rex Features

    Blackpool goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw gets down to stop a Theo Asgaard scuff from beating him for a Wigan equaliser.

    At the other end, the Tangerines are in the hunt for a second, as Morgan Rogers gets a half-chance in the box but rather snatches at it.

    It's still a tough climb for Blackpool even if they win this, but it's all hope isn't it?

    Swansea 0-0 Huddersfield

    Huddersfield clung on for a point against Blackburn five days ago with just 19% possession.

    It is up to 20% so far today at Swansea. No damage to the scoreline, though.

    QPR 0-1 Coventry

    Sky Blues goalkeeper Ben Wilson has made another good save to keep his team ahead, pushing away Sam Field's effort.

    Remember, this result will keep QPR in deep trouble and move Coventry up into the top six.

    One goal could have huge implications.

    Reading 0-0 Burnley

    Noel Hunt can be really heartened by his Reading side's intent, as they're doing plenty to keep Burnley honest in this one.

    Tyrese Fornah's teasing cross was headed behind for a corner by the Clarets, who despite being under pressure, do look comfortable.

    Millwall 1-0 Preston

    Preston continue to press for a leveller at the Den.

    Andrew Hughes pulls one back for Daniel Johnson but he can't quite make a good connection and George Long claims the ball.

    Big chance!

  12. goal

    GOAL: Watford 2-0 Bristol Citypublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    Joao Pedro (54 mins)

    There was some debate over whether he'd scored in the first half but there's no debate here.

    Joao Pedro doubles Watford's tally against Bristol City as he turns home inside the box courtesy of Ismael Kone's delivery.

    The massive Forest Green Rovers fight back that was needed to spare them relegation from League One today has just turned into an almost impossible task as Barnsley make it 4-0.

    Adam Phillips has surely landed the final blow that sends Duncan Ferguson's Rovers down.

    Blackpool 1-0 Wigan

    Blackpool closest to a goal on the second-half, with Josh Bowler smacking a volley straight at Wigan keeper Ben Amos.

    The Seasiders are four points clear of their opponents as it stands in 23rd, with the rooted-to-the-foot Latics stuck on 34 points, and running out of games and time.

    Still time in this one for Shaun Maloney's side.

    Reading 0-0 Burnley

    Reading's point as it stands bring a few of their fellow strugglers into their sights, notably Cardiff who lost at Sheffield United earlier this afternoon.

    Both teams are on 42 points, a QPR side trying to arrest a free-fall are on 43 and Neil Warnock-inspired Huddersfield are on 44.

    Burnley's quest for points is two-fold - trying to exceed Reading's 106-point record and trying to win the title outright this season.

    Fair to say if they get the former, the latter is beyond doubt.

    If Forest Green are to avoid being the first EFL side to have relegation confirmed this season, they are going to need a turnaround for the ages against Barnsley.

    Remember, it they need to beat the promotion hopefuls to avoid the drop back to League Two today. As it stands, they have little to no hope as they are 3-0 down.

    In League Two, Doncaster have started the second half well as Luke Molyneux doubles their advantage against Harrogate.

    Huddersfield's afternoon is going pretty well so far, with Neil Warnock's team showing as much attacking threat as Swansea City despite the home side's dominance of the ball.

    The Terriers have looked menacing on the counter-attack and at set-pieces, while Swansea have not yet conjured the moment of quality needed to breach Warnock's defence despite all their possession.

    Both these sides have conceded 59 league goals this season, while Swansea had scored more than all but four sides in the Championship at kick-off today.

    Surely there are goals to come, aren't there?

    QPR 0-1 Coventry

    QPR almost found an equaliser right on half-time with Ilias Chair's free-kick kept out brilliantly by Ben Wilson.

    Can the home team find something special in this second period?

    Liam: Birmingham midfielder George Hall is going to be some player. Praying he'll sign a new deal in the summer. Definitely a Premier League player in the making.

    Hall's goal has Blues level at Sunderland as we head into the second half...

    Luton celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Didn't take long for Luton to come back out and deliver a second to really bump up their aims of going up to third.

    Rotherham's Wes Harding handled a cross from Cody Drameh, and Cauley Woodrow stepped up to take the penalty.

    Josh Vickers saves the first attempt, but cannot stop Woodrow from drilling in the rebound.

    One before the break, one just after. Clinical.
