Blackburn 1-0 Bristol City
The first half draws to a close at Ewood Park.
Blackburn lead Bristol City thanks to Arnor Sigurdsson's strike.
Blackburn 1-0 Bristol City
Blackburn hunting for a second goal against Bristol City before the break.
Callum Brittain works the ball to Niall Ennis who has his back to goal leading him to play through Sammie Szmodics who sees his shot deflected away for a corner.
Huddersfield 0-2 Preston
Paul Ogden
Huddersfield Town commentator, BBC Radio Leeds
(Liam) Millar will get the credit for magnificent build-up work down the left-hand side.
So much space for Will Keane to run into, he has drilled Preston into a two-goal lead from inside the penalty area.
Preston's flair against Huddersfield Town's slow-paced, pondering.
Watford 1-1 Ipswich Town
We're seeing plenty of free-flowing play from both sides, using the width of the pitch and moving the ball around quickly.
Once again, chances at either end - Edo Kayembe's header flashing wide for Watford and Town's Omari Hutchinson, once again, manoeuvring his way infield and curling one past the far post.
Famous last words, perhaps - but there are surely going to be further goals in this one.
Will Keane (39 mins)
Great stuff from Preston as they double their lead against Huddersfield.
Liam Millar works the ball to Will Keane with an absolutely sumptuous through ball and Keane then drills low into the bottom corner.
Clinical.
Arnor Sigurdsson (35 mins)
Blackburn take the lead against Bristol City and it's well-worked goal.
Sammie Szmodics works onto Adam Wharton's delivery and tees up Arnor Sigurdsson who makes a run into the box and coolly finishes past Robins keeper Max O'Leary.
Stoke City 0-0 Swansea City
An opportunity for Stoke to break the deadlock, with Ryan Mmaee's attempt kept out by Carl Rushworth.
Swansea haven't offered a great deal in response, although Jay Fulton had a pop from distance.
Still no score in this battle of managerless teams.
Blackburn 0-0 Bristol City
Sammie Szmodics is no stranger to finding the net with the Blackburn forward leading the Championship top scorer chart with 14 this season.
He almost adds to his tally with a close range free-kick which is just wide of the mark.
Reading 0-0 Oxford United
Tim Dellor
BBC Berkshire sport editor
15 minutes gone, 0-0.
There's no fluidity so far.
We are now 30 seconds away from tennis ball time...if they take the timer off the screen maybe the fans will forget?
Blackburn 0-0 Bristol City
Big chance for Bristol City.
Mark Sykes sends a corner into the Blackburn box which is met by Zak Vyner who rises high but he heads to the wrong side of the left-hand post.
Rotherham Utd 0-0 West Brom
Quiet start to the Leam Richardson era at the New York Stadium so far as Rotherham aim to lift themselves off the foot of the table.
Ex-West Brom striker Jordan Hugill went close with a header, while there was an opportunity for Darnell Furlong at the other end.
George Hirst (24 mins)
Ipswich have only failed to find the net once this season - and they're on the scoresheet again tonight.
It's a flowing move down the right, with Omari Hutchinson cutting inside for a low drive that Ben Hamer can only parry and George Hirst tucks away his sixth goal of the campaign.
Huddersfield 0-1 Preston
Josh Austerfield plays through Josh Koroma as Huddersfield catch Preston out at the back.
But Koroma fires over the bar having cut inside to find space in the build-up.
Watford 1-0 Ipswich Town
Chance for Marcus Harness to level as a Leif Davis cross reaches him in the middle, but his volley is straight at Ben Hamer.
At the other end, Ken Sema delivers a near-post cross that Mileta Rajovic tries to flick goalwards, but he has to settle for a corner instead.
Sunderland 0-0 Leeds
Crysencio Summerville stands over a free-kick from a tight angle as Leeds press Sunderland early on at the Stadium of Light.
He curls towards the top right corner and draws a fingertip save from Black Cats keeper Anthony Patterson.
Stoke City 0-0 Swansea City
Stoke desperately need something to lift them after four successive defeats.
Lynden Gooch almost provides that with a decent effort that's saved by Swansea's Carl Rushworth, but it's still scoreless.
Sunderland 0-0 Leeds
And we're under way in tonight's late Championship kick-off.
Managerless Sunderland take on in-form Leeds in what should be a decent 90 minutes' action on Wearside.
Yaser Asprilla (12 mins)
Costly mistake by Ipswich keeper Vaclav Hladky!He gives the ball away to Yaser Asprilla inside the box who immediately squares to Mileta Rajovic and, although the keeper saves the Danish striker's initial shot, the rebound falls for Asprilla to thunder a left-foot drive into the net.
That's dented Ipswich's hopes of finishing the night top of the Championship!
Watford 0-0 Ipswich Town
It's a damp evening at Vicarage Road, but if the rain gets too heavy for play, there are a couple of strong candidates to entertain the rest of the crowd.
Lifelong Watford fan and former chairman Elton John is looking on, of course - and he's joined by Ipswich devotee Ed Sheeran, no doubt hoping to see the Tractor Boys go top of the table tonight.
Not too much to excite either of them so far, with Ipswich having a decent opportunity through a Leif Davis free-kick but George Hirst failed to connect cleanly with the header.
Huddersfield 0-1 Preston
Matt Glennon
Former Huddersfield keeper on BBC Radio Leeds
Preston have been unfortunate to not get a penalty there.
Town just cannot get the ball.
Preston are creating chances and looking sharp.
