  1. Huddersfield the aggressorspublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Huddersfield 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Ben Croucher
    Final Score

    Huddersfield have been on top in the second half, but still can't find a breakthrough or indeed a chance of note.

    The main downside for the home side has been injuries to January signings Rhys Healey, who limped off with a groin strain after 20 minutes and Bojan Radulovic, who took a Michael Ihiekwe straight arm to the face and groggily headed off.

    If I asked Siri to sum this one up, Josh Koroma having a shot block by his own team-mate would do it.

  2. Albion up the pacepublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Still no goals. But an Alex Mowatt header. And a new chant, from the Albion fans, in honour of their head coach.

    To the tune of 'Glad All Over', they're now doing 'We've Got Carlos Corberan'. Maybe it's not new, but it's certainly the first time I've managed to decipher it.

    More importantly, Albion have upped the pace here - and the ground is bouncing...

    GOAL: Blackburn 0-2 QPRpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Joe Hodge (64 mins)

    Things go from bad to worse for Blackburn.

    QPR score twice in three minutes and double their lead against a Rovers side who are all over the place.

    Wolves loanee Joe Hodge does the damage, following Sinclair Armstrong's delivery, and finds the net on his debut.

    Penny for Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson's thoughts.

  4. PENALTY - Leicester Citypublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Stoke 0-2 Leicester

    Wout Faes makes an impressive run and is then bundled over in the penalty area by Jordan Thompson.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Watford 0-1 Cardiff

    As expected, Valerien Ismael sends for the cavalry with a triple change that includes forwards Mileta Rajovic and Emmanuel Dennis.

    Ken Sema is also introduced, just after Watford have gone close to an equaliser through Ismael Kone - his effort is deflected onto the post by Cardiff's Ryan Wintle and the visitors still lead.

    QPR take the lead and what a massive goal this is.

    Ilias Chair cuts in, aims a shot at the Blackburn goal and sees his effort cannon off the post and deflect off Rovers keeper Aynsley Pears and into the net.

    Blackburn really didn't need that.

  7. 'Moore is a target man'published at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Preston 3-0 Ipswich

    Alex Mathie
    Former Ipswich Town striker on BBC Radio Suffolk

    Kieffer Moore's a target man. He will get the ball, he'll create something. [Massimo] Luongo goes long, Moore gets a head on it and suddenly it's in the final third. Little things like that can change the game and it gives you a different option.

    Ipswich are about 10 yards further forward but not only that, the tempo has changed. They've upped the tempo. Kieran McKenna obviously had a go at half-time and it was needed.

  8. goal

    GOAL: Norwich 1-1 Coventrypublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    The hosts have hit back through Josh Sargent.

    The American pounces after a volley from Ashley Barnes is blocked.

    Gabriel Sara was the creator, teeing up Barnes in the first place.

    West Brom 0-0 Birmingham

    Alex Mowatt with maybe the biggest moment of this game so far.

    He meets a cross from Tom Fellows, but can only send his header bouncing wide.

  10. Ronald impresses for Swanseapublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Swansea 0-1 Plymouth

    If Morgan Whittaker has been Plymouth's key threat this afternoon, then Ronald has been Swansea's best performer.

    The Brazilian winger is making his first start in British football after arriving from Portugal last week, and he looks a player capable of making an impact.

    With better finishing from Jerry Yates and Jamie Paterson, he could have had three assists already.

    The contest is finely poised as Plymouth look to hold on for a first away league win of the season.

  11. Postpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Watford 0-1 Cardiff

    No changes so far for Watford, but you'd think it won't be long before Valerien Ismael shuffles his pack.

    Cardiff have continued to look the brighter side after the restart, with Manolis Siopis bringing a save from Ben Hamer.

  12. Postpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Preston 3-0 Ipswich

    Ipswich, three goals down against Preston, have brought new signing Kieffer Moore on for the second half as they begin their fightback.

    He also started on the bench during his first Ipswich debut, which came at Huddersfield in January 2017.

    Meanwhile he's in the thick of the action early on as he heads just wide of the mark from Wes Burns' cross.

  13. Coventry fans taunt hostspublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Final Score

    Coventry fans start signing '1-0 to the sexy boys' and 'sexy football, la la la' after their goal - in response to pre-match comments by Norwich boss David Wagner that Coventry are not a sexy football side.

    Blackburn 0-0 QPR

    End to end stuff at Ewood Park.

    Blackburn push early in the second half and appeal for a penalty after Andrew Moran goes down but their calls are waved away.

    Meanwhile, QPR rush up the other end and Sinclair Armstrong forces Rovers keeper Aynsley Pears into making a save.

    Norwich 0-1 Coventry

    It is so nearly a quick second for Coventry to start the second half.

    Angus Gunn makes a fine save to deny Haji Wright.

  16. Postpublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    Swansea 0-1 Plymouth

    Spirited start to the second half by the home side, who go close to an equaliser through Jerry Yates.

    Ronald, making his first start for the Swans, is the instigator as he beats his man and crosses to the near post, but Yates can only nod it wide.

  17. Postpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    West Brom 0-0 Birmingham

    This derby put up 'snore draw' vibes in the first half.

    Will the second bring the match to life?

    There was a half-time change for Birmingham - debutant Alex Pritchard replaced by Wales winger Jordan James.

    There was chat from Norwich boss David Wagner that maybe Coventry don't do 'sexy football'.

    Well, this goal from Callum O'Hare has it all going on. He weaves his way into the Norwich area, evades a defender or two and then curls the ball home.

  19. SECOND HALFpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    A fair few goals in the first half. Will we be treated to more in the second?

    The second half is beginning to get under way across the Championship.

  20. 'A comedy of errors'published at 16:02 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    HT: Preston 3-0 Ipswich

    Alex Mathie
    Former Ipswich Town striker on BBC Radio Suffolk

    Ipswich need to do something to get back in the game. The first half has just not been good enough.

    Definitely think Kieffer Moore will come on second half.

    A comedy of errors. Really was a comedy of errors. It's nice being fluid and passing the ball around but they need to score.

    Write that half off and Kieran McKenna will need to make changes in the second. Worst performance I've seen them play this season. We don't see that very often from this team but the first half was poor.

    Preston are living the dream.
