Sunderland 2-1 Norwich
Not for the first time today, Pierre Ekwah tests Norwich goalkeeper George Long from outside the area.
And yet again Long is equal to it.
QPR 1-1 Leicester
Abdul Fatawu tries to bend a shot in at the far post, but doesn't get the curl he needs and is just off target for Leicester.
Harry Winks is quick to give his team-mate encouragement. The message will be turn the pressure up on 10-man QPR as they search for a winner.
Hull 0-0 Preston
Hull are cranking things up a little.
Jaden Philogene has again been a proper handful this afternoon and cuts inside before his right-fiooted shot draws a stop from Freddie Woodman.
Moments later, Jason Lokilo drives a long-range shot just wide of the post.

How things can change for the league leaders.
Portsmouth were 2-0 down at Reading but have now completed their comeback, with Terry Devlin making it 3-2.
Wycombe have also equalised at second-placed Oxford United through Luke Leahy's penalty, which has made it 1-1.
10-man Blackpool's match against Peterborough is now a lively four-goal encounter, with Kenneth Dougall scoring for the hosts in a quick reply to Ricky-Jade Jones' goal for Posh.
Watford 1-1 Millwall
Vakoun Bayo almost in as Watford get closer to a second.
Pressing high up the pitch as he nicks the ball off goalkeeper Bart Bialkowski but it rolls wide of the post.
A nice volley from Edo Kayembe then forces a diving save from Bialkowski. Can Millwall grab a sucker-punch?
Sunderland 2-1 Norwich
Christian Fassnacht comes close to restoring parity for Norwich.
He does well to direct a header on target from a tight angle, and Anthony Patterson appears to touch it onto the post.
Cardiff 1-0 Bristol City
Gareth Vincent
BBC Sport Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium
Perry Ng has scored just five goals for Cardiff since joining the Welsh club almost three years ago, and three have come in the Bluebirds' last six matches.
Ng's first-half header continues to separate the sides, but Bristol City have shown plenty of fight since half-time.
Nigel Pearson's team may be depleted by injuries, but they are right in this contest.
QPR 1-1 Leicester
Andre Dozzell really has ridden a emotional rollercoaster in this one.
He was the hero with the equaliser for QPR, and now has them playing a man down for the last 30 minutes after his sending off.

Somewhat predictable that Stockport have capitalised on their man advantage, Antoni Sarcevic racing through a gap in the Tranmere defence and slotting home.
It is also 2-0 at Morecambe, as the hosts' excellent start to the second half continues.
This time, it's an own goal by keeper Joe Lewis that Wimbledon are left to rue.
Walsall have found an equaliser to make it 1-1 at Mansfield through Ryan Stirk, while Joseph Taylor has scored for Colchester, who are now 1-0 up at Accrington.
Middlesbrough 0-2 Stoke
Seny Dieng makes a big save to deny Sead Haksabanovic after some neat Stoke build-up and keep Boro in this game.
Jonny Howson then lets fly from range at the other end. Just wide.
Middlesbrough 0-2 Stoke
Andrew Sixsmith
BBC Final Score
As poor as Boro have been, Stoke have been excellent - Alex Neil’s side heading for a three-win week.
But Michael Carrick has made match-winning substitutes in each of the last two games - and if Boro were in need of a flash point, look no further than the Riverside crowd... a flare was let off in the first half.
George Hirst (54 mins)
Ipswich push ahead and it's a beautifully worked goal by the home side.
It took just three passes from the goal kick to pick out George Hirst who thumps the ball into the bottom right corner of the Plymouth net.
Silky stuff from the Tractor Boys.
QPR 1-1 Leicester
Andre Dozzell is shown two yellow cards in about five seconds.
He is first shown a yellow card for his challenge on Abdul Fatawu.
Fatawu reacts with a push, then Dozzell comes back at him with a push of his own and picks up another yellow.
QPR 1-1 Leicester
John Bennett
BBC Final Score
Credit to QPR, they are showing fighting spirit for their under pressure manager this afternoon.
The players didn’t let their heads drop after Leicester took the lead and arguably deserved the equaliser. Ilias Chair, who was said to be a Leicester target in the summer is looking really lively.
Beware though QPR fans, Leicester have a habit of playing their best football in the last 20 or 30 minutes of matches.
Hull 0-0 Preston
We're still waiting for a breakthrough on Hunberside.
Preston have rarely threatened Ryan Allsop's goal, but have a second penalty shout waved away after Alan Browne had tangled with Alfie Jones in the box.
As it stands Hull are heading for a fifth home draw of the season.
#bbcefl
Peterborough are looking more comfortable at Bloomfield Road.
Blackpool's Oliver Casey was shown a straight red card for bringing down Posh's Ricky-Jade Jones.
From the resultant free-kick, Harrison Burrows has curled the ball around the wall beautifully to make it 2-0.
Sunderland 2-1 Norwich
George Long is called upon to make yet another save for Norwich.
This time he palms a shot from Niall Huggins over the bar.
QPR 1-1 Leicester
Abdul Fatawu now tests QPR goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
It's a chance that appears to come from nothing, as Jannik Vestergaard's ball didn't initially appear to be much for Rangers to defend.
It's a great volleyed shot and equally good save.
#bbcefl
Stockport's job to hold on and secure victory in this second half been made easier.
Tranmere's Harvey Saunders has been sent off after a second booking.
Meanwhile, Michael Mellon has rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball in to put Morecambe 1-0 up at home to Wimbledon.
Watford 1-1 Millwall
Watford go close again early in the second half.
Jeremy Ngakia runs towards the area but his deflected strike goes narrowly wide of an empty net.
