    Leicester 0-1 Hull City

    Abdul Fatawu, one of the three changes Enzo Maresca made at the start of this half, hits the post for home side.

    GOAL: Ipswich 1-2 Cardiffpublished at 16:23 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Nathan Broadhead (59 mins)

    Game on. Nathan Broadhead has found a way past Runar Alex Runarsson at last... by blasting the ball into the top corner.

    Can they mount a comeback?

    Leicester 0-1 Hull City

    Could that have wrapped it up for the visitors?!

    Liam Delap does well down the Hull right and finds strike partner Aaron Connolly in the middle.

    The Irishman makes a good connection with his shot but sends it over the crossbar.

    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday, who have lost all four of their matches so far this season, have been living on their nerves for much of this game but they nearly grab a goal totally against the run of play.

    George Byers plays Josh Windass in but Illan Meslier makes the save.

    Will Keane (57 mins)

    Duane Holmes latches onto a sublime pass from Brad Potts and tees up Will Keane, again, and Preston could be heading to the top of the table tonight.

    Two for the day and four for the season for Keane now. Ryan Lowe's half-time switch, bringing Holmes on, looks very smart indeed just 12 minutes later.

    Red card in the game between Derby and Bolton. It's Joe Wildsmith given his marching orders for the Rams for handball. It remains 1-1 but for how long?

    Adam Jackson has given Lincoln City the lead at Bristol Rovers.

    And a Tom Bayliss own goal has put Carlisle one up against Shrewsbury.

    Leicester 0-1 Hull City

    Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca has seen enough.

    He makes a triple sub after 54 minutes.

    Forward Stephy Mavididi is one of the three introduced.

    Joe Ralls (52 mins)

    The Bluebirds are flying.

    Karlan Grant feeds skipper Joe Ralls who strides forward before drilling a low shot past Vaclav Hladky.

    Long way back for the Tractorboys now.

    Plymouth 1-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn's Sammie Szmodics is having a tough start to this second half.

    He's had a couple of really good chances to equalise but he hasn't been able to hit the target.

    Rovers look dangerous but just lacking a little quality with the final ball and shots on goal.

  10. goal

    GOAL: Coventry 1-2 Watfordpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Matheus Martins (52 mins)

    A fine individual goal from the Watford magician.

    Matheus Martins runs from the halfway line, skins a defender or two and bend a delicious finish inside the post to put Watford back in front.

    Can Coventry find a reply, as they did in the first half?

  11. goal

    GOAL: West Brom 1-1 Huddersfieldpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    John Swift (52 mins)

    The home side level it up.

    John Swift equalises for West Brom with a tidy finish from Brandon Thomas-Asante's pass.

    Huddersfield will be ruing not making more of their first-half dominance.

    Will Keane (51 mins, pen)

    Will Keane smashes it straight down the middle. Preston are eyeing up a fourth straight victory.

    His third of the season.

    GOAL: Rotherham 2-1 Norwichpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Christian Fassnacht (52 mins)

    Norwich cross the ball across the face of the Rotherham goal and Christian Fassnacht is there to tap in.

    Great start to the second half for the visitors.

  14. PENALTY TO PRESTONpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Preston

    Duane Holmes is tripped by Wouter Burger. What an impact he's made.

  15. Postpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    More of the same at Elland Road.

    Jamie Shackleton is the latest to go close for the home side, who have been totally dominant in this Yorkshire derby so far.

    Ipswich 0-1 Cardiff

    Ike Ugbo has replaced Ollie Tanner for Cardiff, the debutant was on a yellow card, which might have factored into the decision.

    Can Ipswich find a way back?

  17. Postpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Preston

    Duane Holmes is on for Mads Frokjaer for Preston - today is the first time Ryan Lowe has made more than one change in his starting XI this season too - is he the new tinkerman?

    Almost immediately Holmes cuts back for Will Keane who drags narrowly wide.

    Can either side find a breakthrough early in the half?
