    Ipswich 0-0 Cardiff

    The visitors have had the ball in the net, but it's been ruled out for offside.

    Karlan Grant prodded in the loose ball after Vaclav Hladcky had superbly saved a header from Dmitris Goutas.

    At the other end Conor Chaplin's curling cross drew a fingertip save from Runar Alex Runarsson.

  3. MISSED PENALTYpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Coventry forward Matty Godden is denied a fourth goal in five by a flying save from Daniel Bachmann and Kasey Palmer fires the rebound over the bar.

    Watford will feel justice was done after Ryan Porteous was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box at very close range.

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:22 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Preston

    Terrific stop from Stoke's keeper Mark Travers.

    He launched himself across goal to save a wobbly deflected shot down low.

    A bit of a stop and start match so far but Preston are putting the pressure on.

    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    The home side pressing for the opener.

    Georginio Rutter gets it from Crysencio Summerville and gives it back to the young Dutchman who strikes a low effort wide.

    For handball. Watford are incensed.

    Plymouth 0-0 Blackburn

    Plymouth are on the back foot at Home Park.

    They're managing to keep Blackburn at bay at the moment.

    But the hosts are under pressure.

  8. Postpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    Coventry could really be ahead. Ben Sheaf has lashed over the bar under pressure in the box after Haji Wright's mesmerising run down the flank and pull-back into the box.

    Lively start to this one...

    Stoke 0-0 Preston

    Still goalless at the bet365 stadium.

    Stoke will be looking to build on their terrific 6-1 EFL Cup second round win in midweek, but they have struggled so far in the league this season.

    Meanwhile, undefeated Preston have looked really strong and have three wins on the bounce.

    GOAL: Leicester 0-1 Hull Citypublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Liam Delap (15 mins)

    Well, well, welll!

    The first goal in our 15:00 BST Championship games comes at the King Power Stadium but it's NOT for the league leaders!

    Hull City have the lead through Manchester City loanee Liam Delap.

    The big striker bags his second of the season with a fierce strike that takes a nick on its way in.

    Some early goals to report in League Two...

    Stoke 0-0 Preston

    Stoke's Josh Laurent has fired tamely straight at Preston keeper Freddie Woodman after running at North End debutant Jack Whatmough and cutting inside.

  13. Postpublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Decent chance for the away side but Joel Piroe drags his low shot across the face of goal.

    The away side can ill-afford to let the Dutchman have many more chances like that.

  14. Postpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    West Brom 0-0 Huddersfield

    The away side have the ball in the back of the net but it won't count.

    Jack Rudoni's lovely finish is ruled out for a foul in the build-up.

    Karlan Grant has curled wide at the other end after working space in the area.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 QPR

    Steady going in the early stages at the Riverside.

    Boro won their last league match against the R's.

    But the visitors have won three of their last four trips to Middlesbrough.

    Plymouth 0-0 Blackburn

    Oh Blackburn should have scored.

    Midfielder Ryan Hedges is through on goal, no pressure, switches the ball to his favoured left foot but his shot is wide.

  19. Postpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Coventry 0-0 Watford

    On his first start for Watford, Tom Ince's shot has deflected narrowly past the post after Imran Louza had picked a defender's pocket in a dangerous area.

    Promising start from the visitors.

    Huddersfield boss Neil Warnock was unamused by some comments made by Town owner Kevin Nagle on social media after their 4-0 hammering at home to Norwich last week.

    The Terriers are winless this season and this could be a big ask today.

    The home side, managed by former Terriers boss Carlos Corberan, have had the better of the opening few minutes.
