Leicester City - West Bromwich Albion

17:01 They can't, it's all over!

Leicester City - West Bromwich Albion

17:00 It's finished at Watford and that means just one match is still playing, can Leicester get an equaliser?

16:58 All over at Blackpool and Nottingham Forest.

Leicester City - West Bromwich Albion

16:58 Goal for Leicester! Is this a comeback? Two minutes to go and Bruno Berner has got a goal back!

16:57 Full time whistles are being sounded throughout the Championship. It's all over at Palace, Newcastle, Plymouth, Reading and Sheffield Wednesday.

Blackpool - Scunthorpe United

16:55 Blackpool's excellent home form continues, Alex Baptiste has made it 4-1.

Nottingham Forest - Bristol City

16:53 Another goal at the City Ground and Bristol City have equalised! Danny Haynes lashes in a volley from 6 yards out. A terrible first 80 minutes, a frantic last ten.

16:49 We are entering stoppage time.

Nottingham Forest - Bristol City

16:48 Forset are ahead! Free kick from the right isn't dealt by City and it falls to big Wes Morgan who fires the ball into the back of the net! The deadlock is broken!

Sheffield Wednesday - Queens Park Rangers

16:45 QPR get themselves ahead! Kaspar Gorkss with a firm near post header from a corner from the right; that puts the Super Hoops back into the playoffs.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

16:43 Peterborough have got a goal back at the sportsdirect.com@St James Park. Dean Keates has grabbed a consolation for the Posh.

16:40 About ten minutes to go in the Championship.

Nottingham Forest - Bristol City

17:38 If that isn't going to go in, then surely this match is going to end goal less? (I'm hoping to inflict the commentator's curse)

Nottingham Forest - Bristol City

16:38 Miss of the season/save of the season? Paul Anderson two feet out sees his effort saved by the Louis Carey's groin.

Blackpool - Scunthorpe United

16:35 Should results stay as they are, Blackpool with jump into fourth place, a good day at the office for them.

Blackpool - Scunthorpe United

16:35 Three one Blackpool! More misery for Scunthorpe, Ben Burgess has grabbed a third.

Plymouth Argyle - Doncaster Rovers

16:33 Two one Argyle! Jamie Mackle bursts into the area, he shoots at the keeper and it falls to Rory Fallon who has an empty net to shoot at. Two wins in a row are on the cards for Argyle!

Blackpool - Scunthorpe United

16:30 Two one Blackpool! All sorts of problems for Scunthorpe, their keeper Joe Murphy has been sent off for handling outside the free kick, Sam Slocombe comes off the bench and into goal and the first task he has is to pick the ball out of the net, a brilliant free kick from Charlie Adam. ItÂ’s all turned around at Bloomfield Road.

Crystal Palace - Middlesbrough

16:27 Darren Ambrose is having a terrific season, the most he has ever scored in a seaon is 11, that goal was his tenth.

Crystal Palace - Middlesbrough

16:26 One nil Palace! The dead lock is broken! Alan Lee crosses into the box, Derry knocks it down and Darren Ambrose runs onto it to shoot past the keeper, he made up 70 yards to get into attack there.

Blackpool - Scunthorpe United

16:22 Blackpool equalise! Ian Evatt nods the ball past the keeper to notch his second goal of the season.

Crystal Palace - Middlesbrough

16:19 A good opportunity for Middlesbrough. They have a three on one situation and Leroy Lita messes it up. He sprints to the by-line and cannot pick out any of his team mate; that should have been the breakthrough.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

16:16 Three nil Newcastle! Surely Danny Simpson didnÂ’t mean that? He is celebrating like he did though! 45 yards out he hits a cross come shot and it flies over Joe Lewis in the Posh goal.

Blackpool - Scunthorpe United

16:15 One nil Blackpool! Finally a breakthrough at Bloomfield Road. Paul Hayes dinks the ball past the goalkeeper at the back post. Against the form book here, Blackpool have won their last six at home.

Plymouth Argyle - Doncaster Rovers

16:13 Red card at Home Park! Very confusing affair though. Martin Woods is wearing his third different shirt of the afternoon and it takes the referee a while to work out if he was the player he booked in the first half. He finally realised he had and Woods is given is marching orders. Doncaster down to ten men.

Reading - Ipswich Town

16:09 Reading equalise! Whatever Brendan Rogers said at half time it worked. The Royals have had three excellent chances already in this half and they finally get what they deserve through Simon Church.

Crystal Palace - Middlesbrough

16:07 The potential WAGS watching Middlesbrough will not be impressed so far. They are playing out a dull nil nil with Palace.

16:05 We're back underway!

16:01 So these half time scores mean that as it stands Ipswich would be out of the relegation zone with Peterborough sinking to the bottom of the division. QPR meanwhile would reclaim their playoff position which was pinched from them by Swansea earlier on today.

15:53 Peep-peeep-peep. Half time whistles ring out all around the Championship grounds.

Watford - Preston North End

15:51 OOOoooo, the Preston bench thought it was in! John Parkin's strike goes just wide.

Reading - Ipswich Town

15:50 Reading have done everything except score, they have struck the post and Jobi McAnuff has headed just over.

15:48 So that leaves just the matches at Bloomfield Road and Selhurst Park goalless.

Leicester City - West Bromwich Albion

15:46 West Brom have got another! What a strike from Gonzalo Jara! He travels into the Leicester half, everyone backs off, he hits it from 30 yards and it flys into the back of the net; what a way to score your first goal for the Baggies!

Leicester City - West Bromwich Albion

15:44 One nil West Brom! Graham Dorrans has grabbed it! Jerome Thomas is hacked down 25 yards out and Dorrans pings in the free kick. It travelled a long way, the keeper should have done better.

Leicester City - West Bromwich Albion

15:40 Matty Fryatt goes close for Leicester, he heads just wide.

Watford - Preston North End

15:38 A second goal for Watford! Tom Cleverley, on loan from Manchester United has finished smartly at the back post following a cross from the right. Watford deserve it.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

15:35 Goal scoring hero Jonas Gutirrez has pulled up with an injury; he has been replaced by Ryan Taylor.

Nottingham Forest - Bristol City

15:32 Evander Sno has the best name in the division and it is now in the referee's notebook; the City midfielder picks up a booking for unsporting behaviour. Not much else to report from the City Ground.

Plymouth Argyle - Doncaster Rovers

15:30 Doncaster equalise! Two minutes after going behind Donny even things up, Dean Shiels has got it.

Plymouth Argyle - Doncaster Rovers

15:28 One nil Plymouth! A well worked goal is finished off by Alan Judge at the back post, that means Argyle climb out of the bottom three.

Watford - Preston North End

15:26 One way traffic at Vicarage Road, Cleverley and Helguson have both gone close.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

15:23 You have got to fear for Peterborough United; Darren Ferguson's men have only scored five goals away all this season.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

15:22 Two nil Newcastle! Andy Caroll rises highest at the back post and doubles the Magpie's advantage.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

15:21 One nil Newcastle! Wonderful goal from Gutirrez! He picks the balls mid way in PoshÂ’s half, nothing develops for him so he goes it alone, beats a couple and flips it over the keeper.

15:18 A five minute goal bonanza in the Championship!

Watford - Preston North End

15:16 One all! A rapid response from Wednesday. Potter wraps his magic wand of a left foot around the ball and crosses to the back post to Jermaine Johnson who finishes well.

Watford - Preston North End

15:15 One nil Watford! They have started well and they have got their reward. Good cross from the right and Heidar Helguson rises high at the back post to loop a header back over the keeper's head.

Reading - Ipswich Town

15:14 Big John Stead has broken the dead lock at the Madejski. A long throw into the box isn't cleared and Stead hooks his leg around the ball and guides the ball into the net. ONE NIL IPSWICH.

Sheffield Wednesday - Queens Park Rangers

15:12 One nil QPR! Jay Simpson has got it!

15:11 West Bromwich Albion will have to deal with the in form Matty Fryatt of Leicester City. The FoxesÂ’ fox in the box has bagged 9 goals in 15 matches.

Newcastle United - Peterborough United

15:10 Newcastle looking good at the sportsdirect.com@stjamespark stadium, Nolan just put a cross come shot across the box, a good effort, just wide though.

15:05 Gordon Strachan has become a hit with the women of Middlesbrough after he hinted more of his players should get married. "Emmanuel Pogatez is one of only three players who are married, thatÂ’s quite unbelievable. You need responsibility in life...it was a shock," said Strachan. Do you want to be a WAG? Then get up to the North East!

14:59 The players are on their way out of the changing rooms, hold on to your hats, it's nearly time for kick off!

  Top of the table Newcastle United will welcome Peterborough United to their newly named directsports.com@St James Park. Posh's fans will be able to tell the Toon Army fans about a change in tradition; until a few years ago them and Barcelona were the only teams in Europe without a shirt sponsorship. If you have any views be sure to e-mail us on directsports.com@stjamespark.net.

  As I have just mentioned, Swansea have beat Cardiff City in a 3-2 thriller.

  At the other end of the table, Leicester will jump into second place if they beat the current occupiers of that spot, West Brom. Seven different clubs could end up in the playoff positions tonight. Swansea have just jumped over QPR into 6th place, but the Super Hoops will take that place back if they beat Sheffield Wednesday away. Blackpool, Middlesbrough, Preston, Nottingham Forest and Watford could also get themselves into the playoffs.

  On our fixture card today we have two early season relegation six pointers at the Madejski between Reading and Ipswich and at Home Park between Plymouth and Doncaster. After miserable starts to the season the Royals and Tractor Boys both picked up three points last time out and will be looking to kick start their season today. Argyle and Rovers are also coming off the back of good results; Plymouth winning away at Middlesbrough and Donny drawing with Blackpool.
