    Swansea 0-0 Coventry

    Moments at either end.

    First Haji Wright heads a corner wide for Coventry.

    Then a corner for the hosts finds Harry Darling six yards out - but his effort is straight at the goalkeeper.

  2. CLOSE!published at 15:29 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Huddersfield

    Marcus Forss comes close to putting Middlesbrough a goal to the good, but his shot loops off Josh Ruffels with Lee Nicholls seemingly set in quicksand, but the ball drops onto the roof of the net harmlessly.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    So Blackburn have now potentially got a long afternoon ahead of them with 10 men.

    Head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson makes an immediate change with Tyrhys Dolan sacrificed and Callum Brittan on in his place in a tactical switch.

    Neat turn from Ozan Tufan in the box fashions another moment for Hull but his shot is well blocked.

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:27 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Watford

    Good save from the Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann who denies a spirited Andre Vidigal of Stoke City.

    The Portuguese winger was running at defenders with the ball at his feet before pulling the trigger and forcing Bachmann into a brilliant stop.

    Didn't take long!

    Instant reply from the Wearsiders, and it's Jobe Bellingham who strikes.

    Dan Neil put Jack Clarke's cross into a tempting area and the former Birmingham teenager was the man on the spot.

    Important goal for a side who have struggled a little in racking them up this season.

    Bristol City 0-0 Birmingham

    A chance for Bristol City is smothered by Birmingham.

    A cutback cross lands for Harry Cornick in the box but he can't turn and face goal on time and the visitors clear.

    Rotherham piece apart Sunderland with a flowing move of multiple passes and touches, which ends with Ollie Rathbone picking out Hakeem Odoffin, whose fierce drive low beyond Anthony Patterson delivers the lead.

    Big goal at the SoL.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Huddersfield

    Brahima Diarra smacks the woodwork for Huddersfield as Middlesbrough fail to deal with a testing ball in from Sorba Thomas.

    Just before that, Sam Silvera came very close to his second of the season - the first came against Huddersfield as it happens.

    He bends one just wide of Lee Nicholls' goal. Lively fare at the Riverside. Chugging along nicely.

  9. Postpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    QPR 0-0 Ipswich

    Ipswich have had a couple of chances early.

    Both headers from set pieces - Wes Burns and Leif Davis - but both sailed just wide of the target.

    Coventry City have brought a sizeable away following to south Wales and the Sky Blues' fans are making plenty of noise in the opening stages.

    Swansea's supporters are making themselves heard, too, with early-season optimism in the air.

    On the pitch, it is Coventry who have settled better, with Mark Robins' side looking more menacing without creating any clear-cut opportunities yet.

    Charlton celebrateImage source, Rex Features

    Cameron Brannagan’s penalty has put Oxford ahead at Barnsley, who have not won since that 7-0 hammering of Port Vale on the opening day.

    Vale will hope to avoid being on the wrong end of a big score again today but are already behind through ex-Cheltenham striker Alfie May’s penalty for Charlton.

  12. Postpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Leicester 0-0 Cardiff

    Chances at both ends.

    Leicester get a set-piece which is curled in by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and causes some panic but no-one can quite connect.

    Cardiff came even closer before that, Ike Ugbo is tracked perfectly by Aaron Ramsey's ball in, but can't get his header on target.

  13. Postpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Watford

    Watford on top but Stoke are gradually growing into the game.

    No shots on target from either side yet.

  14. RED CARD (Blackburn)published at 15:18 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Blackburn red cardImage source, Rex Features

    Harry Pickering sent off for Blackburn.

    He brought down Liam Delap just outside the area as he chased a long ball.

    It's just outside the area but Pickering is the last man and is gone.

    The resulting Hull free-kick goes over the bar from Scott Twine.

  15. CLOSE!published at 15:15 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Sheff Wed 0-0 Preston

    Brad Potts with the first chance of the game at Ewood Park and he's inches away from giving Preston the lead.

    He spreads a pass into space on the left and gets into the area to receive the cross and forces Devis Vasquez to tip his effort round the post.

  16. Postpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Sunderland 0-0 Rotherham

    Anthony Patterson has to be alert for Sunderland, coming out to claim an Ollie Rathbone delivery seeking out Jordan Hugill.

    Black Cats defender Dennis Cirkin has been booked, stopping Rathbone from breaking just moments before.

    Millers settling into this game.

    Troy DeeneyImage source, Rex Features

    Will Evans has put Newport in front away at Forest Green inside 13 seconds – that’s his fifth goal in all competitions this season.

    Ex-Birmingham and Watford skipper Troy Deeney is on the bench for Rovers today after joining as player-coach in midweek.

    Freddie Draper also scored in the opening minute for Walsall away at Crewe.

    Abo Eisa has put Grimsby’s noses in front at home to Mansfield and Connor Jennings’ goal sees Tranmere lead Salford.

    Mo Eisa’s fourth league goal of the season means MK Dons lead bottom side Colchester.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:13 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Ozan Tufan at it again for Hull after his hat-trick last week.

    A low shot is destined for the bottom corner before Aynsley Pears dives to make an excellent save.

    Scott Twine then slips into the area and fires at the near post but Pears is there again to make a good stop.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 19 August 2023

    Leicester 0-0 Cardiff

    Kelechi Iheanacho curls an effort on to the post as Leicester press. The home side are growing into this game and that could be ominous for Cardiff.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Huddersfield

    Middlesbrough goalkeeper Seny Dieng has to stretch to beat away a sizzling effort from Huddersfield defender Matty Pearson.

    Takes the ball on his thigh before scorching a drive to test the Senegal custodian. Fine save.
