Thanks Dominic! I can’t say it’s been too thrilling throughout the Premier League and Championship. Hopefully some extra targets to come back within the second half.

Premier League HT scores

And with that, I’ll hand over to Emillia Hawkins, who will steer you thru the second half of as we speak’s clockwatch. Get pleasure from, Emillia!

Re: Scotland right here’s the newest through Simon:

As we method HT it’s 1-0 United v St. Johnstone, Manny Adegboyega with the objective, and it’s as you had been within the race for prime six with the video games at Motherwell and St. Mirren each degree.

Bristol Rovers are one other crew in hassle. They usually’re tailing 2-0 to Exeter. The League One relegation battle is so loopy that it’s in all probability value ready for all as we speak’s video games to play out earlier than we clarify all of the permutations.

A giant equaliser for Stockport towards Rotherham. A diamond of a objective you may say … it’s been scored by Jack Diamond.

In League Two, Tranmere have gone 3-0 all the way down to Accrington and will but get pulled into the relegation mire.

I’m not saying Nottingham Forest and Everton are boring to look at, but it surely’s not an enormous shock that it’s 0-0 on the Metropolis Floor to this point. They’re two of the league’s extra defensive-minded groups, that’s all.

The onus is on Forest to get issues going ahead.

Speaking of apparent nicknames, it’s a shock that the Villans aren’t but forward at Southampton. Stand-in Saints supervisor Simon Rusk has talked of wanting his crew to “take pleasure in their work” as they appear to keep away from the ignominy of recording the Premier League’s lowest ever factors tally.

Villa have a glittering ahead line together with Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Morgan Rogers this afternoon however they haven’t fired but.

It hasn’t taken Bristol Metropolis lengthy to hit again at QPR, through the highly-rated West Ham loanee George Earthy.

The Robins have been the shape aspect within the Championship of late and, with their playoff rivals failing to win as issues stand, that’s an enormous objective.

GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Leicester (J.Pedro, 31)

There it’s. Brighton are forward towards lacklustre Leicester and it’s come through the penalty spot. João Pedro sends the keeper the flawed manner.

No thought why it took so lengthy for VAR to rubber-stamp that call, by the way in which.

We nonetheless await the primary Premier League objective of the afternoon … though Brighton are interesting for a penalty for handball by Leicester’s Conor Coady.

The referee hasn’t given it however VAR will take a severe look. It’s a reasonably apparent handball.

Get your too-obvious footballing nicknames into me on electronic mail.

In League Two, Accrington have doubled their lead towards Tranmere whereas Walsall – winless in 9 however nonetheless chasing automated promotion – path 1-0 at Barrow. It really is the league you possibly can by no means predict.

I’m not a fan of apparent soccer crew nicknames. See Aldershot as ‘the Photographs’ and Shrewsbury AKA ‘the Shrews’.

Anyway, each these groups have simply scored.

A breaking soccer information story from throughout the pond:

It’s 0-0 in loads of Championship video games in the mean time, particularly these (Luton v Blackburn, Cardiff v Stoke, Portsmouth v Derby) which have main ramifications for the battle to keep away from relegation.

QPR have scored to dent Bristol Metropolis’s playoff aspirations, thoughts you, Karamoko Demble has damaged the impasse at Loftus Highway.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Oxford: Wednesday followers are protesting towards their proprietor Dejphon Chansiri as we speak by turning their backs to the pitch within the tenth minute. There have been chants for Chansiri to go, too.

Objectives are flying in round League One and Two.

Barnsley have simply taken the lead towards third tier promotion-pushers Bolton. Charlton are 1-0 up at relegation-bound Cambridge.

Brighton are completely bossing issues towards Leicester to this point – which must be no nice shock. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s aspect have suffered 9 successive defeats in all competitions, and have misplaced 16 of their previous 18 video games because the begin of December.

It’s completely atrocious kind.

Two of the League One playoff hopefuls have suffered early blows. Huddersfield are trailing at relegation-threatened Burton, whereas Stockport have gone 1-0 down at house to Rotherham.

Seething.

Championship: Colby Bishop has simply seen an early penalty saved in Portsmouth’s key sport towards Derby at Fratton Park as we speak.

No targets as of but within the second tier 3pm KOs.

Elsewhere in League Two, Port Vale can go prime with a win over Bromley as we speak and so they’ve loved an excellent begin, going 1-0 up inside 5 minutes.

By way of phrases that would drop all the way down to League Two … Shrewsbury path 1-0 at Lincoln. The Shrews may very well be relegated as we speak.

Accrington v Tranmere is a key sport within the League Two survival scrap – and it’s first blood to Stanley with Ben Woods scoring inside the primary minute. Morecambe v Carlisle can also be taking place within the fourth tier as we speak – that’s second backside versus backside.

There’s some footage doing the rounds of the full-time scenes at Plymouth’s Residence Park, the place it seems there have been scuffles within the tunnel because the gamers headed again for the dressing rooms. Chris Wilder regarded incensed with one thing that was stated to him as Plymouth’s gamers celebrated.

Not a cheerful day for Sheffield United or their supervisor.

KICK OFF

Right here we gooooo.

We’re virtually able to get underneath manner across the nation.

One man who is not going to function as we speak is Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma. The Japanese winger has been an ever-present this season, however a heel damage means the Seagulls will miss his tempo and impetus down the left towards Leicester. João Pedro seems set to play a large position as an alternative; he’ll dovetail with Danny Welbeck.

Chris Wooden is a barely stunning starter for Nottingham Forest as we speak. Many thought he wouldn’t fairly get better in time, but it surely’s an enormous enhance for Nuno Espirito Santo to have the New Zealander again. Anthony Elanga has additionally been an damage doubt so begins this one on the bench.

Everton will likely be a tricky nut for Forest to crack for certain, and with Manchester Metropolis successful, the warmth continues to be on in that prime 5 tussle.

An early replace from our common Scottish soccer contributor, Simon McMahon:

It’s actually all concerning the prime six as we speak, with the final spherical of fixtures earlier than the league break up. Dundee United, having final week secured a prime six place of their first season again within the Scottish Premiership, face St. Johnstone, shock winners at house to Celtic final outing, at Tannadice. The ultimate prime six place will doubtless be determined at Motherwell the place a win for guests Hearts would assure them sixth place. The rest, nevertheless, would doubtless lead to St. Mirren claiming the ultimate spot, offered the Paisley aspect beat Ross County at house. Although if Motherwell win and St. Mirren don’t, then Motherwell will go sixth. Hope that’s clear.

Crystal clear, Simon.

The results of the day to this point (and it’ll certainly not be overwhelmed) is Swindon 5-4 Bradford in League Two. The Bantams, who’re nonetheless prime of the league for now, had been 2-0 and 3-1 up however had a person despatched off after 14 minutes. The winner got here through a ninety fifth minute Jack Shepherd personal objective.

Soccer.

Different full-time scores from the early video games:

In the meantime, Wycombe have overwhelmed Stevenage 1-0 to go one level off second.

Some additional pre-match studying choices for you:

It’s full-time within the Ladies’s FA Cup and Chelsea have edged previous Liverpool to safe a spot within the last, through a stoppage time winner from the in-form Aggie Beever-Jones. They’ll face both Manchester United or Manchester Metropolis.

Make that 2-1 to Plymouth. What on earth is going on to Chris Wilder’s normally-so-steely Sheffield United?

A giant objective for Plymouth! Ryan Hardie has equalised with 10 minutes left on the clock towards Sheffield United. Leeds and Burnley may be moderately happy with that objective too …

There have been targets galore on the Etihad this afternoon and Barry Glendenning is your man for that sport’s last knockings.

Leeds and Sheffield United are each successful within the Championship early kickoffs – however solely by slender margins. Nonetheless quarter-hour plus added time remaining at Elland Highway and Residence Park, with Plymouth – 1-0 all the way down to the Blades – in want of some inspiration to kickstart their fading survival hopes.
