West Brom 2-0 Coventry Time is almost up at The Hawthorns as we enter the last of four added minutes. West Brom 2-0 Coventry Ben Sheaf heads over from six yards out for Coventry. .. It's clipped across the face of goal and he is completely unmarked but can't hit the target. That might just sum up the night for Frank Lampard's side. FT: Hull City 1-1 Watford Mike White BBC Radio Humberside commentator All the Tigers had to do was see the game out after they got the lead, to pick up their first home win since September and avoid a winless run of 11 games so far. Watford are a play-off contending side but they are no great shakes, but Hull have been too close to average again tonight despite new management. It is going to take more than a couple of days to turn this side around. It needs more quality, it needs something to give them a spark. West Brom 2-0 Coventry West Brom are five minutes from just a second win in the Championship since 21 September. It would be a huge three points to re-ignite their promotion push and they're heading back into the play-off spots as things stand. Can they see it out? QPR 2-0 Oxford What a win for QPR and what a week it's been as they record consecutive Championship victories for the first time this season. Sam Field's second half double did the damage and the Hoops pick up a deserved three points. Oxford didn't really threaten and the hosts stepped it up in the second half to put a little more daylight between themselves and the bottom three. West Brom 2-0 Coventry Ged Scott BBC Sport at The Hawthorns It's not the first time in a game of football - and it sure won't be the last. Team on top and looking likely to equalise, And then the opposition score out of nothing. It will be hard to envisage Coventry coming back from this. They did used to regularly salvage situations like this under Mark Robins. Let's see what they've got now. QPR 2-0 Oxford Nine minutes added on at Loftus Road and we've played nearly eight of them. QPR cruising home here. Hull City 1-1 Watford It ends all square after that late flurry of drama, which is probably about right. Hull stop the rot with a first point in seven games, Watford pick up an eighth point on their travels, but both sides could easily have won this. Chris Bedia's goal is worth a watch for its sheer calamity and replays suggested it actually came off his arm. Rocco Vata's equaliser was the least Watford deserved for their efforts across the 90 minutes. Positives for both sides to take, but work to do to put games to bed when they are there for the taking. Cardiff 0-2 Preston It's all over and that's a first win for Preston for 10 games. Cardiff had their chances and saw two cleared off the line - one from Yakou Meite and another from Perry Ng. But it's the Lilywhites who take all three points after Calum Chambers diverted into his own net and Milutin Osmajic sealed the deal late on. The Bluebirds are now without a win in six and in danger in the bottom three. Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd That's it. Sheffield United have seen out a tricky second half like, dare I say, champions would. They return to the top of the table courtesy of Rhian Brewster's goal just before the break, a goal as ruthless as it was simple, and his first since October 2022. Millwall had their chances and struck the woodwork twice but Neil Harris' reign at The Den ends with back-to-back home defeats, and no win in five. Milutin Osmajic (90+3 mins) Game over. It's a hopeful long ball over the top by Preston and Cardiff defender Dimitrios Goutas completely fails to deal with it. Milutin Osmajic sneaks in to steal the ball, skips round the keeper and slots it into the empty net. A first goal since his return from an eight-game ban. Calamitous for the Bluebirds. Jubilation for the visitors. Hull City 1-1 Watford Into FOUR added minutes at the MKM and it's the visitors who look the more threatening if we are to see a surprise winner. Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd It's Millwall who are pushing as we head into stoppage-time. Japhet Tanganga peels away to the back post unmarked to meet a deep corner with an ambitious first-time volley but can only slash his volley a yard over Michael Cooper's bar. A lower shot back across goal could have gone anywhere off anyone. A half-decent opportunity goes begging. Into the FIVE added minutes. Karlan Grant (74 mins) It's two for West Brom! Karlan Grant picks the ball up about 30 yards from goal and skips through the Coventry defence before firing into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Just as the Sky Blues were getting back into the game, it may have been taken out of their reach now. Rocco Vata (88 mins) Oh Hull. This is all down to sub Kwadwo Baah who spins on halfway and blazes down the right and surges all the way to the byline before producing an inch-perfect cut-back into the middle for former Celtic man Rocco Vata to sweep a first-time effort home, via a touch from keeper Ivan Pandur. Maybe that win will have to wait a bit longer. Hull City 1-0 Watford Mike White BBC Radio Humberside commentator Can Hull City see this one out now? You can certainly feel it now! The fans are excited but there is definitely a nervousness amongst that excitement. This is the loudest I have heard City fans in a while, they have had to endure a lot of dross recently. Hull City 1-0 Watford Abu Kamara comes off to a hero's reception after potentially teeing up the winner, with Abdus Omur coming on. The Hull fans are singing Ruben Selles name. Nice for him. Cardiff 0-1 Preston Cardiff's Chris Willock flashes an effort towards the far post but it goes wide. He just couldn't quite get enough bend on it. Time is running out for the Bluebirds. .. Millwall 0-1 Sheff Utd Millwall want a penalty after Aidomo Emakhu slalomed into the box from the left wing. He crashes to ground in a sandwich between Alfie Gilchrist and the sliding Tom Davies but Gilchrist might just have nicked the ball before he went down. The home fans are not happy, however.
