    Nottingham Forest 2-2 Blackpool

    Good stuff from Forest. Callum Hudson-Odoi beats his opponent on the left and slides it across for Neco Williams.

    He drills it towards the bottom corner and it's deflected wide.

    Peterborough 0-2 Leeds

    Malik Mothersille's cross is deflected awkwardly towards Kristoffer Klaesson.

    He should gather it in comfortably though but ends up spilling it and Ethan Ampadu reacts to hoof it away. He turns and gives his keeper a stern look...

    It has been very loud at the New Meadow today but it’s the away fans singing ‘1-0 in your cup final’. They are pushing for a second, have the Red Dragons tamed the Shrews?

  5. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 7 January

    West Ham 1-1 Bristol City

    Bristol City's Tommy Conway is about a million miles offside before he runs through and smashes the ball into the net. Unsurprisingly the flag is up.

    That is the goalscorer's last kick as he's replaced by Nahki Wells.

    Luton 0-0 Bolton

    It's not Luton's day. Another chance missed as Alfie Doughty's strike rattles off the woodwork.

    There's shouts of a handball but a quick VAR review confirms there's nothing in it.

    Lee Nicholls has had a decent game for Huddersfield considering he's conceded five goals.

    You can see when Leeds are in possession, it is about game management, they are not bothered about a third goal.

    Peterborough have done well in possession at times, but have not threatened Leeds.

    I thought the EPL was so dominant now that lower league teams had no chance against them? As it stands Luton, Forest and West Ham are all failing to beat league ONE opponents at home!

    It almost breaks for Morgan Gibbs-White but he can't bring it under control.

    Nuno Tavares then blasts one over the bar from a tight angle.

    Leon Osman
    Former Everton midfielder on BBC

    It's just wonderful play. We're all talking about De Bruyne being back and this is why. He has the ability to pick out the one spare teammate in the area.

    He can always see the whole picture.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 7 January

    West Ham 1-1 Bristol City

    Double change for Bristol City, with Andreas Weimann coming on.

    Jeremy Doku

    It's FIVE. Jeremy Doku scores on his return, while Kevin de Bruyne gets the assist.

    De Bruyne lobs the ball into the box, cutting it back from the goalline and unmarked Doku is there to finish it first time.
