  2. Watch the penalty savespublished at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    HT: Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 Cardiff City

    It was all going off in that first half at Hillsborough.

    Cardiff had two penalties saved by Sheffield Wednesday keeper Cameron Dawson in the space of seven minutes.

    They could have gone 2-0 up and ended the half 3-0 down, having also conceded an own goal.

    HT: Swansea 0-0 Morecambe

    Swansea have clearly reverted to their old passing style in Luke Williams' first game in charge, with as much as 80% possession during that first half.

    But the 11 changes to the Swans' line-up and the fact they have had just one training session under Williams have shown as the home side have created very few chances.

    All a bit sedate so far.

    Chelsea had better pray they don't get into Europe via the cups on this showing. An average Championship side bossing it in this match, they'd be humiliated in the Europa League.

    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Still all square at Stamford Bridge too. Preston have played well so far and are causing Chelsea problems.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:17 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Goalless at the break. Aston Villa have dominated possession but I'd say Middlesbrough have had the best chance.

    The Middlesbrough v Aston Villa game has the tempo and feel of a 1999 Serie A game that Channel 4 used to show on a Sunday afternoon. I wish we’d move the ball quicker.

  9. CLOSE!published at 18:16 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Great play by Middlesbrough as the ball is worked to Alex Bangura on the left. He plays a great ball into the box and Josh Coburn just needs to connect and it will be 1-0, but he misses!

    Best chance of the game.

    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Benjamin Whiteman has a free-kick opportunity for Preston but he fails to beat the wall. He gets it back again but his curling delivery is held easily by goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Preston are pushing as we edge nearer to half-time. Chelsea are currently sat back in their own half.

    All the players know you cannot be berating an official.

    It is another needless yellow card for Aston Villa, they all know the rules so just get over the decision and move on!

    This Chelsea team is so insanely bland. I can’t believe how poor they are.

    Chelsea 0-0 Preston

    Liam Millar does really well again to push Raheem Sterling wide and his cross slices straight out for a goal kick.

  15. Palmer puts Wednesday in complete controlpublished at 18:12 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 Cardiff City

    What a finish!

    A cross from the left deflects out to Liam Palmer on the edge of the box. He chests the ball under control and then volleys into the bottom corner.

    He wheels off in celebration and ends up hugging a coach in the dugout too.

    Sheffield Wednesday are in complete control, but 3-0 feels a bit harsh on Cardiff.

    We're still waiting to see it with Mykhailo Mudryk. I think there's a lot more to come and he's going to be a slow burner.

    He doesn't make the fee, he went for a lot of money. He hasn't played a lot of first team football and he's come into a big club that are underperforming.

    Cole Palmer tries to link-up with Raheem Sterling in the box but Liam Millar intercepts.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:11 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Leon Bailey is booked after he argues with the linesman as he feels aggreived that a throw was awarded to Middlesbrough, rather than a free-kick to Villa for a foul.

  19. Wednesday double lead against Cardiffpublished at 18:11 Greenwich Mean Time 6 January

    Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Cardiff City

    Michael Ihiekwe has doubled Sheffield Wednesday's advantage against Cardiff, heading home a corner.

    It looked like Jak Alnwick was going to collect in the Cardiff goal but Ihiekwe beats him to the cross and heads home.

    It may hit Romaine Sawyers on the way in so it may go down as an own goal.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Aston Villa

    Leon Bailey tries to weave his way through but there's too many Middlesbrough players inside the box.

    More good defending from the hosts as half time approaches.
