  9. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:36 GMT 31 January 2017

    90 minutes have ticked by in the majority of tonight's games. Time for some stoppage-time drama?

  10. Postpublished at 21:34 GMT 31 January 2017

    Birmingham 0-1 Reading

    Birmingham pressure towards the end of the game as they search for an equaliser, but it comes to nothing.

    Lukas Jutkiewicz and Che Adams spurn the most recent half chances as we approach stoppage time.

    Brentford 3-0 Aston Villa

    Inside the last five minutes at Griffin Park. Dean Smith's men have put on a great display this evening, knocking the ball around with smiles on their faces at times.

    Villa may well have plenty of new additions, but looks like they need a bit more time on the training ground to get to know each other.

    Seb Gomez: Looks like Villa need a few backroom staff like a defensive coach rather than new players. Ship goals too easily.

  14. Postpublished at 21:28 GMT 31 January 2017

    Barnsley 1-3 Wolves

    Barnsley have a goal back at Oakwell, but surely too little too late. Marc Roberts is the scorer with 10 minutes to play.

    Two goals now for Dave Edwards, the second a rebound after Jon Dadi Bodvarsson's initial effort was blocked, and Wolves have surely wrapped up all three points against 10-man Barnsley.

  18. goal

    GOAL: Birmingham 0-1 Readingpublished at 21:21 GMT 31 January 2017

    John Swift

    Good things come to those who wait so they say and Reading have had to do their fair share of waiting to find a goal this evening.

    Finally it comes for the third-placed side through John Swift from close range after a succession of threatening crosses into the area.

    Looks like Gianfranco Zola's wait for a first win is going to go on.

  19. goal

    GOAL: Bristol City 2-2 Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 21:17 GMT 31 January 2017

    Tammy Abraham

    It's not a classic, but they all count. Tammy Abraham deflects Bristol-born Joe Bryan's shot from the edge of the box into the back of the net for his 19th goal of the season. City are level against Sheffield Wednesday.

    Derby will be cheering that goal too. It will lift them up into the play-off spots.

    Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are 2-0 up against Rotherham as Britt Assombalonga pokes in his second goal of the evening from close range.

  20. Postpublished at 21:15 GMT 31 January 2017

    Brentford 3-0 Aston Villa

    As we've been telling you for most of the evening, Scott Hogan is on the verge of a move from Brentford to Aston Villa.

    A penny for his thoughts now, please?
