  1. YELLOW CARD FOR LEEDSpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Leeds

    Willy Gnonto is booked for following through in a 50-50 tackle with Ben Pearson, who seemed to soar about six foot into the air before tumbling.

    Leeds frustrated.

    The noise in here is deafening now - and it's coming from one end only - that of the home fans.

    Wednesday have left big spaces in this second half as they tried to chase the game, and it came back to bite them when substitute Ryan Hardie finished well for the third.

    Owls fans are leaving a rainy Home Park already - it's a long trip back to Yorkshire after another defeat.

    Stoke 0-0 Leeds

    Stoke build really well down the right, there's a deep cross but the only threat to hit in the box is Andre Vidigal, who is crowded out easily.

    Leeds warming up a few changes...

  4. CLOSEpublished at 21:27 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Bristol City 0-1 Ipswich

    How has the ball not crossed the line?

    Bristol City's Harry Cornick's shot hits the post and runs behind the Ipswich keeper Vaclav Hladky and trickles along the goal line.

    But somehow ... it stays out.

    A crushing blow for the hosts who are fighting to find that equaliser.

    Rotherham 1-0 Coventry

    Callum O'Hare is back, 303 days after his last appearance for Coventry.

    Poignant moment after a long hack back after an ACL injury.

    Plymouth's Finn Azaz feeds Ryan Hardie who shoots from just inside the box and into the right corner of the Wednesday net.

    I think the visitors can start warming up the team bus.

    Birmingham have it all to do now and it's Hull who are looking likely to head back across country with the points.

    Beautiful way to all but seal it, as ex-Aston Villa dynamo Jaden Philogene picks it up edge of the box, draws it out of his feet and sends a zippy, low rocket beyond a desperate John Ruddy.

    What a cracker.

  8. Postpublished at 21:19 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Birmingham 0-1 Hull

    Wayne Rooney has taken off Jay Stansfield and sent on big targetman Lukas Jutkiewicz.

    It's still just one goal to claw back - and it could have been worse - but nothing doing for them at the moment.

    Stoke 0-0 Leeds

    Stoke aren't allowing Leeds to move the ball between the lines and puncture their defensive rearguard.

    Georginio Rutter tried to turn Michael Rose but was shrugged off the ball by the big centre-half like a nightclub bouncer assisting in the throwing out of a reveller.

    Then the visitors work the ball toward Willy Gnonto but he just can't connect.

    Stoke break, but good defensive cover by Joe Rodon is enough to sweep it away.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Rotherham 1-0 Coventry

    Jordan Hugill crashes a header off the post, as Rotherham seek a second.

    Coventry can only watch as the posts are left wobbling.

  11. Postpublished at 21:09 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Rotherham 1-0 Coventry

    Having ridden a bit of a gauntlet from Coventry, Rotherham show their own threat, as Ollie Rathbone gives Ben Wilson a test.

    The North Easterner is equal in the Sky Blues nets, stretching every sinew to claw away the effort.

  12. SECOND-HALFpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Stoke 0-0 Leeds

    Back under way in north Staffordshire, up on the top of the hill where the wind whistles through and chills the bones.

    Hopefully some goals will flow through with it, in the second half.

  13. Postpublished at 21:05 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Rotherham 1-0 Coventry

    Another beauty of a chance for Coventry.

    Matty Godden evoked Wembley hero Keith Houchen, launching himself at a cross with a full-on diving header, but could only guide it wide.

    Viktor Johansson was travelling, but couldn't get there. Agonising for Sky Blues, heart-stopping for the Millers.

    It's all gone Pete Tong for Southampton in a matter of minutes.

    Preston's Brad Potts runs on to a pass about 15 yards outside the Southampton box.

    He outmuscles and outruns the Saints defender and shoots from the corner of the six-yard area and through the legs of Gavin Bazunu.

    Hull are near camping on the Blues box at the moment.

    Jaden Philogene has tested out the weave of the netting, with a vicious hammer of a shot from the left which rippled the outside of the net rather than the inside.

  16. Postpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Rotherham 1-0 Coventry

    Viktor Johansson is single-handedly earning his team a win-bonus at the moment.

    First he made a double save to deny Ellis Simms first with a header and then a shot.

    Then tipped away a rasper from Ben Sheaf, who has been busy all evening.

    Coventry battling...

    What a strike from the Preston substitute Milutin Osmajic.

    The cross from a free-kick sailed high and into the Southampton box but the clearance was poor and the ball lands right in the path of the Montenegro forward, who drills it from just outside the box.

    The ball blazes into the corner of the net. Nothing the Saints keeper Gavin Bazunu could do about it.

  18. Postpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Birmingham 0-1 Hull

    Neither Jaden Philogene nor Liam Delap can finish a swooping counter-attack on Birmingham, who had a corner.

    Blues living dangerously again.

    Finally the deadlock is broken and it's a set-piece which unlocks Coventry for Rotherham.

    Cafu's range of passing has been evident tonight, and his curled in corner is buried at the near post by Lee Peltier.

    Fine header. Millers rolling.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:55 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Bristol City 0-1 Ipswich

    From Bristol City's Max O'Leary straight out of the traps this second half.

    The 6ft shot stopper dives down to his left to save a close-range effort from Leif Davis and parry it away.

    The Robins under pressure early.
