It's been all Norwich so far against Cardiff so far in this fixture.

Gabriel Sara started a flurry of headed chances for the Canaries as he headed just wide from Marcelino Nunez's cross before Grant Hanley nodded off target from Gabriel Sara's delivery soon after.

The Bluebirds then conceded a corner which led Ashley Barnes to head just wide of the mark.

Great tekkers there from (Jay) Stansfield, coming out of the air, taking it on the turn.

Great save to keep that out and just give Birmingham a corner.

How have Coventry not scored?

Haji Wright, Ellis Simms and Callum O'Hare all had chances to put the ball away but were denied by the Stoke keeper Jack Bonham and Ben Wilmot who clears the ball off the line.

The Potters survive.

New Huddersfield gaffer Andre Breitenreiter is taking a watching brief in the stands today before taking over on Monday.

The German was all-smiles pre-match but will be feeling less buoyant now.

Long way to go in this mind.

Birmingham and Sunderland have exchanged chances in the early stages of this fixture.

Firstly, Koji Miyoshi's right-footed drive from distance was well blocked by the Sunderland back line.

At the other end, Jobe Bellingham's started for the Black Cats against his former side and tees up Jack Clarke who forces Birmingham into blocking away his effort from inside the box.

Rotherham are pressing early and asking questions of the Watford defence.

Andy Rinomhota the latest Miller to get a shot in on goal, but it goes wide.

The visiting Hornets looking lethargic.

Blackburn Rovers score early at Deepdale.

There is absolutely no stopping him when he is in that position.

It is a fantastic finish, but you think it is a goal straight away as he just does not miss those.

Eighteen league goals already, and it is only February, that is quite ridiculous from someone who is not even specifically a centre-forward.

Massive, massive game at the foot of the table this.

Millwall were dismantled in front of their own fans by promotion-chasing Ipswich in midweek.

Those fans will want to see a reaction today.

Bristol City on top in these opening minutes at Ashton Gate.

A header from Nahki Wells sets up Jason Knight who hits the ball into the ground but his shot goes wide.

Positive from the Robins.

What's happening at a rainy Swansea.com Stadium in the opening stages of this fixture?

Jamie Paterson gets the first chance as Swansea press Ipswich but his right-footed strike from inside the box is well blocked by the visitors.

Early chance for the runaway leaders as Jannik Vestergaard heads into the sidenetting at the back stick.

Bit of a let-off for Boro.

Rotherham on the front foot and playing the long ball in these early stages at the New York Stadium, but defended well by Watford.

The Millers are rapidly running out of time to save themselves from relegation. Could today be the day that they stop-the-rot?

The visiting Hornets might be only seven points off the play-off places in 12th but they have been struggling recently.

Good to see the new safe standing area absolutely packed for the first time.

Tony Mowbray has his hands in his pockets in the technical area, he will be glad to be back there having been sat up with us last time out.

Up with us is not his natural habitat-he did not look happy up here!

Mowbray had to serve a touchline ban for the midweek win over another of his former clubs, Blackburn.

Right then.

The whistle is being sounded up and down the Championship and today's 15:00 GMT fixtures are about to get under way.

For the following week, a new ball will be used across the EFL in order to mark LGBT+ History Month.

The ball, designed in conjunction with match ball partner Puma, includes rainbow and progress colours which symbolise that football is for everyone.

All 72 clubs across the Championship, League One and League Two will use the ball, in their fixtures until 24 February.

Puma will also make a donation to an LGBTQ+ Fans For Diversity Fund for every goal scored during that period with the money raised being used to support LGBTQ+ supporters and to raise awareness about inclusion in football.

Ipswich fans have come in numbers to a rain soaked south Wales – 2,000 filling up the away end.

Lots hoping Ipswich’s welsh contingent can do the business on familiar soil.

All eyes on Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead, with Wes Burns on the bench.

Swansea need to be alert with a track record of conceding against Swans alumni this season - Joel Piroe the latest to score here for Leeds in midweek.

Final Score at The Den

Millwall have sleepwalked into a relegation battle.

The team that was so close to achieving a place in the play-offs last season is now unrecognisable, and could get hauled below the dotted line if they are not careful.

Joe Edwards arrived at The Den in November, and his desire to change the club's style of play has garnered question marks, this considering that a number of their key talents have somewhat regressed, whilst new signings have failed to bed in.

The gap to QPR is four points - a win here against Sheffield Wednesday is crucial.
