Blackburn pushing forward and Ryan Hedges collects the ball and puts Middlesbrough under pressure.

But Lukas Engel is on hand to slide in and deal with the danger.

That goal might have made Sheffield Wednesday's challenge this afternoon harder against Ipswich, but they aren't taking this game - or their fight for Championship survival - lying down.

Ian Poveda has seen a shot saved for the Owls although Ipswich are looking dangerous when the visitors lose the ball and they break on the counter.

Still goalless in this one but plenty of action at either end.

Plymouth are the latest side to threaten to open the scoring, this time as Ryan Hardie's delivery to Joe Edwards sees the latter try to volley home.

But his effort fails to test Preston keeper Freddie Woodman as it sails off target.

Stoke are shell-shocked from that first goal. They haven't got themselves together in any shape or form. There looks like there's a lot of miscommunication from the five at the back and I'm a little worried for Stoke now.

Fantastic finish from Gabriel Sara - from a good distance as well.

Big chance for Bristol City on the counter attack as Haydon Roberts pumps the ball downfield and Anis Mehmeti gets on the end of it.

He passes it on to Tommy Conway who gets in behind in a one-on-one with Alex Palmer but the Baggies keeper makes an excellent save to deny the forward as he tries to go round him.

Still goalless at the Riverside but Middlesbrough continuing to force Blackburn to defend.

Not a huge amount of action in front of goal yet at the Hawthorns but we've had one chance apiece from both sides.

Tommy Conway broke down the wing and teed up Jason Knight for the Robins, although his effort went straight into the arms of Alex Palmer while Mikey Johnston just sent an effort comfortably wide of the post for the Baggies.

Birmingham threatening the Watford goal again.

This time it's defender Ethan Laird whose towering header from a Juninho Bacuna's corner just kisses the bar.

The visiting Hornets not really in this game yet.

Ipswich were very patient around the penalty box. Marvin Johnson should have done better, got tighter to the player who played the ball to Omari Hutchinson. Will Vaulks was left wanting in the midfield. It's disappointing from them.

From an Ipswich point of view, that was a great goal. Now Sheffield Wednesday have got to calm down. Ipswich are free-flowing, they are finding a lot of space.

Middlesbrough are forced into an early change.

Marcus Forss can't continue and he's replaced by Finn Azaz.

Great defending from Middlesbrough's Paddy McNair.

He slides in to deny Blackburn's talismanic forward Sammie Szmodics who had raced on to Sam Gallagher's delivery.

An exciting start at the Riverside.

Preston doing well to keep Plymouth under pressure as they look to establish an early lead at Home Park.

Robbie Brady whips a free-kick into the box which eventually falls to Ryan Ledson, but his cross towards the far post evades Liam Millar.

Stoke have hit the post!

Or maybe the Norwich keeper managed to get a finger or two on to the ball to push it onto the woodwork.

But it was a terrific solo effort from Ki-Jana Hoever.

The Potters defender burst over the halfway line with the ball at his feet and fired a shot on goal.

Just denied.

Rotherham are pressing Huddersfield and are inches away from taking a surprise lead in the Yorkshire derby.

Sean Morrison sends a long throw into the Huddersfield box and Andy Rinomhota gets onto the ball as the visitors fail to clear their lines.

But his effort cannons off the upright and Rotherham can't quite divert it home on the rebound.

First chance of the game and it goes to Sheffield Wednesday as Ian Poveda plays the ball across goal but Ike Ugbo's first-time shot goes wide.

It's early stages but Watford don't look comfortable.

I feel like it's confidence from Birmingham that has been missing in their last two games. Miyoshi missed that one but the intensity from Blues, it's there.
