    Middlesbrough 1-1 Hull

    Hull are just slugging the ball away to anywhere.

    Boro attack down the right, the ball is rolled into the box slide rule down the right and Morgan Rogers latches on and skims a sizzling low ball across which slips just the wrong side of the post.

    It's so close for Boro.

  2. CLOSE!published at 21:32 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Hull

    Middlesbrough now really pushing to retake the lead.

    Isaiah Jones picked up a short corner and drove to the byline before stinging in a low cross which Hull keeper Ryan Allsop beats away.

    Sam Greenwood stubbed the rebound at goal but it is somehow cleared by a combination of Allsop and defenders.

    Boro reload. Matt Crooks gets his neck muscles straining and booms a header from the recycled ball, but Allsop again is behind it.

    Boro fans roaring their team on.

    Leicester 3-1 Millwwall

    Millwall so nearly pull a goal back!

    Wout Faes is on the line to deny George Honeyman from making it 3-2 from a set-piece.

    Liam Delap (70 mins)

    Equaliser for Hull and it's a wonderfully worked set-piece.

    Hull get the corner from the right and it's swung out to Jacob Greaves who guides a superb header to the far post.

    Manchester City loanee Liam Delap is all on his own, leaping to power beyond a stricken Seny Dieng.

    Right off the training ground that.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Sam Greenwood has a crack from about 30 yards from a free-kick, gets plenty of fizz behind it but it zips just wide of Ryan Allsop's right upright in the Hull goal.

    Middlesbrough very close to a second.

    Lovely connection, whip and pace. Not far away.

    GOAL: Leicester 3-1 Millwallpublished at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Ricardo Pereira (78 mins)

    Leicester City are heading back to the top of the table!

    The ball bobbles around in the area a few times, with the Foxes having a few bites at it before a blocked effort from Tom Cannon falls for Ricardo Pereira to force home.

    In the end, even the finish appears to come off Wilfred Ndidi.

    Cardiff 0-1 Birmingham

    Cardiff being peppered and it's only Runar Runarsson who is keeping them level.

    Likewise, Jamilu Collins gets in the way of a strike from Jordan James, and then Runarsson keeps out Emanuel Aiwu.

    Erol Bulut's side in repel mode right now.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 3-1 Sheff Wedpublished at 21:19 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Jonathan Rowe (72 mins)

    It's a third for Norwich, and surely that is all three points in the bag for the hosts.

    Dimitris Giannoulis lofts a deep cross over from the left and finds Jonathan Rowe, whose header beats goalkeeper Cameron Dawson, despite the keeper getting a palm onto it.

    Leicester 2-1 Millwall

    Those two second half goals from Jannik Vestergaard and Patson Daka appear to have Leicester on the way to victory and a return to the top of the table tonight.

    Just over 15 minutes remain at the King Power Stadium.

    Can the hosts put the result beyond doubt, or do Millwall have more surprises in them? If they do, it will be from seeing very little of the ball as the Foxes have controlled 83% possession so far.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:19 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Hull make a triple change with Ruben Vinagre, Ozan Tufan and Adama Traore all coming on.

    Cyrus Christie, Jean Michael Seri and Scott Twine make way.

  11. Postpublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Norwich 2-1 Sheff Wed

    We are going to have a good few minutes of added time at Carrow Road, with a technical issue appearing to be causing the referee some drama with his radio equipment.

    He appears to try the classic I.T trick of flicking the radio on and off a few times, before heading off the pitch to get the problem sorted.

  12. Postpublished at 21:15 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Cardiff 0-1 Birmingham

    Runar Runarsson makes a telling save to deny Jay Stansfield for Birmingham.

    Second would be devastating potentially for Cardiff.

    Their best second-half chance came from Rubin Colwill smashing one over the top.

  13. goal

    GOAL: Coventry 1-1 Southamptonpublished at 21:13 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Samuel Edozie (67 mins)

    Super-sub!

    Huge goal for Saints who are currently 12 games unbeaten and this one came from Russell Martin's changes.

    Stuart Armstrong tees the ball into space on the left for Ryan Fraser to bend in a cross which is flicked onto Samuel Edozie, and his smart volley into the turf pings beyond Brad Collins.

    All-square.

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:11 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Lewie Coyle with a captain's knock slides in to hook away for Hull as Middlesbrough steamed forward down the left.

    Some great set-up before Isaiah Jones gets the ball across. Wasn't the most convincing but Coyle had to be there.

  15. Postpublished at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Coventry 1-0 Southampton

    Southampton also ringing a few changes, with the dynamic Ryan Fraser and Sam Edozie on for Che Adams and Shea Charles.

    Fraser has an eye for goal, while Edozie promises much following his move from Man City.

  16. Postpublished at 21:08 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Leicester 2-1 Millwall

    This should have been three for Leicester City.

    The excellent Abdul Fatawu, who has been bright for the Foxes throughout, whips in a wonderful cross from the edge of the area.

    Stephy Mavididi is racing in to try and meet it, but can only send his close range header wide.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Cardiff 0-1 Bimringham

    Couple of changes for Cardiff, with Josh Bowler and Callum Robinson coming on for Kion Etete and Ryan Wintle.

    Bowler has plenty of magic in his boots, that's for sure.

  18. Postpublished at 21:06 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Liam Delap gets in behind from a super ball over the top for Hull, but his first touch and then stabbed effort are on the stretch, and Boro goalkeeper Seny Dieng blocks before playing it back onto the striker for a goal kick.

    Before that, Lewie Coyle set Aaron Connolly away but his cut-back was loose.

    Signs though that Hull can get in behind.

  19. Postpublished at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Norwich 2-1 Sheff Wed

    Sheffield Wednesday again show that Norwich will have to battle with everything they have for the three points tonight.

    Callum Paterson links up well with Anthony Musaba to wriggle into some space down the left, but he can only fire into the side netting.

  20. SECOND HALFpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 13 December 2023

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Just back under way at the Riverside where the kick-off was slightly later than the rest of the Championship.

    Only goal so far the early strike from Boro's Emmanuel Latte Lath.

    Both sides have had chance to reset and go again.
