    The game is really open at the moment which is good, it might suit Villa more but Middlesbrough are playing really well at the minute.

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-0 Prestonpublished at 18:45 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Armando Broja (57 mins)

    Oh, pick that one out!

    It's a brilliant header from Armando Broja and there's no chance for goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.

    Mykhailo Mudryk does well to keep the ball in on the left and it's whipped in by Malo Gusto for Broja to head it into the far corner from deep in the box.

    Excellent goal and Chelsea have finally broken down Preston.

    Milutin Osmajic has been so physically strong. Chelsea have struggled to deal with his hold-up play.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    For a moment Morgan Rogers appears to be in for Middlesbrough but Matty Cash gets back really well to prod the ball from his feet and back to his goalkeeper.

    Jhon Duran should have scored, he's got a free header, six yards out.

    He's unlucky really but for a player of his quality he should score.

    Alex Moreno has a very neat and tidy left foot. He goes with his laces and it is another great chance for Aston Villa.

    Miller has Sterling in his pocket but Sterling keeps trying to go past him anyway. Definition of insanity and all that.

    Benjamin Whiteman stops Mykhailo Mudryk on the edge of the box. There's appeals by Chelsea fans but they won't get anything. It's good defending from Preston again.

    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Raheem Sterling shrugs off Andrew Hughes but can't get the better of Ali McCann.

    From the corner, it's played short to Sterling and he tees up Axel Disasi but the defender's shot is fired over the bar.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Best chance so far!

    Aston Villa are clicking up through the gears and have another corner, this time Jhon Durán rises to meet the delivery and glances a header onto the far post.

    So close.

    Broja is still trying to get up to speed. He looks a little bit rusty and hasn't been that focal point we thought he might.

    John McGinn hits it sweetly, side foot, brilliant technique and what a magnificent save from Tom Glover.

    That's Villa's best moment of the game so far, no doubt.

    If Middlesbrough can continue their strong organisation and endeavour they will have a good chance in this game.

    You could see Villa had something set up from the training field, it wasn't a complicated move but John McGinn nearly stuck it in the top corner - a great save from Tom Glover.

  14. Patino puts Swansea aheadpublished at 18:38 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Swansea 1-0 Morecambe

    Luke Williams' first half-time team-talk as Swansea manager has worked a treat.

    His side had dominated the first period but lacked an attacking edge but just two minutes into the second half they've found the opener. Charlie Patino drifts in at the back post and pokes home.

    If Chelsea had bought Rice and Maddison instead of Caicedo and Mudryk our season could have looked very different.

    Really good passage of play from Preston North End. Browne just can't get his shot on target.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 18:37 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Middlesbrough have conceded seven goals from corners in the Championship this season, so Aston Villa need to make set pieces count.

    They have one early in the second half and it is a smart move off the training ground as the ball is worked to John McGinn on the edge of the area, but his strike is tipped over.

    Preston have come out brightly again.

    Andrew Hughes tees up Alan Browne on the edge of the box but he curls it over the bar.

    Enzo Fernandez flicks it on to Armando Broja but the Chelsea striker can't bring it under control and it rolls through to Djordje Petrovic.

    No changes from either side at the break. You'd think Mauricio Pochettino will roll the dice if it stays like this in the next 15 minutes.
