   West Brom desperately need a victory today having slipped into the bottom three after fellow Championship strugglers Oxford won at Preston on Friday.

   But what are their chances as they travel to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United this afternoon?

   Well it’s not looking good. The Baggies are winless in their past 11 league games and Sheffield United are pretty decent at home.

   Since November’s international break, no side has won more Championship matches than Sheffield United’s 12.

   Only already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday – without a single win since that point – have won less than West Brom’s three games in that time frame.

2. Defensive Swansea welcome goal-shy Stokepublished at 14:46 GMT

   Some bright news on the horizon for Swansea City this afternoon as they welcome Stoke City to the principality.

   The Potters have lost six of their past 10 Championship matches on their travels and scored just six games in total.

   Not only that but they’ve failed to score on five occasions during that timeframe.

   The Swans have conceded just four goals in their previous nine home league games so they’ll be a tough nut to crack today.

   A couple of Leicester fans who had just got off a supporters’ coach asked me the way to the designated away pub as I was walking into the ground today.

   Now, far from encouraging drinking you probably can’t blame them for looking for a couple of ‘sharpeners’ given their team’s current plight.

   There will be 1,800 away followers hoping to see a first win on the road since 6 December.

   There are memories everywhere you look outside and inside Portman Road of Ipswich’s rich past and current boss Kieran McKenna may find himself up on the wall soon enough having become the fastest head coach to 100 wins for the Suffolk club.

   He will expect to make it 101 today although warning in the week that this afternoon’s visitors are still a good side.

   This was a Premier League fixture last season. But by next season, Ipswich could well be back in the top flight and Leicester in League One.

   The Tractor Boys are hot on the heels of second-placed Middlesbrough as they seek an instant return to the big time and will move above Boro on goal difference and into the automatic promotion places with a win this afternoon.

   Kieran McKenna’s side are in impressive form with three wins in a row. Town are also particularly formidable at Portman Road where they have lost just once all season (W12 D5) and are unbeaten in their past 12 games on home soil.

   Things have just gone from bad to worse to almost unthinkable for the Foxes this season. Nine games without a win (D3 L6), a six-point deduction for breaching financial rules, no clean sheets for 29 matches and the leakiest defence in the league – doomed Sheffield Wednesday aside.

   The one glimmer of hope for Leicester? Well, they have picked up two respectable draws at Stoke and Middlesbrough since Gary Rowett took over as head coach and are still within a point of safety. But things need to pick up, and fast, otherwise back-to-back relegations beckon.

5. Coventry hoping for cushion at the toppublished at 14:37 GMT

   Is it safe to say that Coventry have recovered from their wobble now?

   After a scintillating start to the season in which the Sky Blues opened up a 10-point lead at the top, a run of just four wins in 13 games threatened to derail their automatic promotion quest after they were momentarily overhauled by Middlesbrough.

   But four wins in a row for Frank Lampard’s side means they hold a five-point cushion at the top once again with the chance to extend it to eight before Boro play tomorrow and pile the pressure on the chasing pack.

   Bristol City’s league record of 14 wins, eight draws and 13 defeats pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the Robins this season. Inconsistent.

   Gerhard Struber’s side have won just four of their past 12 league games (D2 L6) to leave them seven points adrift of the play-off places and they felt the full wrath of the City faithful after they were dumped out of the FA Cup by League One’s bottom side Port Vale last time out on Tuesday night.

   Alrighty, let’s turn our attention to the 15:00 GMT games.

   We’ve got six of them, including the Championship leaders looking for a fifth win in a row…

7. Lions up to thirdpublished at 14:33 GMT

   Millwall’s big win at Hull City means they move up to third and within a point of the automatic promotion places for now.

   Ipswich will climb above the Lions if they beat Leicester, while Hull remain seven points clear of seventh and six points off the top two.

   Portsmouth and Blackburn are five and four points clear of the drop zone respectively.

8. ‘A bore fest’published at 14:31 GMT

   The majority of that was a bore fest. Both teams were sacred to make a mistake.

   It took until the 84th minute to have a first shot on target and the 93rd minute for an equaliser.

   Two poor teams and that’s how it petered out in the end.

   Millwall got peppered by Hull’s front four, but they looked clinical, Alex Neil must be well chuffed

   That’s what you call momentum. Difficult games but if you get through them, bodies on the line and the forward line was clinical. The two centre-halves were awesome.

   They worked their socks off for each other.

    FT: Hull 1-3 Millwall

    What a dream season Millwall are having.

    They couldn’t, could they?!

11. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:25 GMT

    Hull 1-3 Millwall

    A huge, huge three points are heading back down to The Den.

    Hull will be amazed they’ve not at least picked up a draw after dominating such long periods of the game.

    Jake Cooper’s opening goal for Millwall was quickly cancelled out by Joe Gelhardt.

    The Tigers twice hit the crossbar and had a goal ruled out for a foul as they missed chance after chance, before substitute Mihailo Ivanovic gave the Lions the lead against the run of play.

    Josh Coburn’s clinical finish gave the visitors daylight with 12 minutes remaining and Alex Neil’s side rise to third in the table.

12. CLOSE!published at 14:24 GMT

    Hull 1-3 Millwall

    Millwall aren’t done here. They look a threat every time on the break.

    Femi Azeez finds Mihailo Ivanovic in space and the Serbian striker sees his shot blocked.

    They then work it back to Azeez and he lashes a left-foot shot just wide.

13. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:22 GMT

    Blackburn 1-1 Portsmouth

    All over at Ewood Park.

    A point apiece and Blackburn will see Hayden Carter’s equaliser as justice after Yuki Ohashi should have been awarded a penalty earlier on when he was barged down by Terry Devlin.

    Portsmouth, to their credit, bossed an end-to-end 90 minutes at points and had been rewarded by Connor Ogilvie’s 84th-minute strike.

    But Carter’s impressive, dramatic late header ensures both sides take a point and their respective pursuits of survival continue.

14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 14:22 GMT

    Blackburn 1-1 Portsmouth

    Hayden Carter, fresh from his goal for Blackburn, picks up a yellow card for bringing down Ebou Adams with a rash challenge shortly after the restart.

15. ‘Great header from Carter’published at 14:21 GMT

    Blackburn 1-1 Portsmouth

    That’s a great header from Hayden Carter.

    Hayden Carter (90+2 mins)

    Would you believe it?!

    Ex-Portsmouth man Hayden Carter flicks an absolutely sublime header into the bottom left-hand corner from Ryoya Morishita’s delivery from the corner of the box.

    It’s honours even! What a finish to this game.

    Blue Army rings out from the Portsmouth fans. They lead but they’re not there yet.

    They are nearly there from a very significant victiry.

18. CLOSE!published at 14:19 GMT

    Hull 1-3 Millwall

    So close to a goal from Hull.

    Joe Gelhardt’s cross is a beautiful one but it’s just too high for his team-mates in the box.

    It comes to Kieran Dowell and his volley is deflected after another block from the Millwall defence.

    It’s been a herculean effort from the Lions’ backline. They’ve got seven minutes of added time to ride out now.

19. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:18 GMT

    Blackburn 0-1 Portsmouth

    Four minutes added on.

    Can Blackburn rescue a point or will Portsmouth hold on?

20. Postpublished at 14:17 GMT

    Blackburn 0-1 Portsmouth

    Eiran Cashin heads wide of the mark from Ryan Alebiosu’s delivery into the Portsmouth box.

    It’s not happening for Blackburn right now, with the 90th minute looming large.
