Full-time at Elland Road, it’s a 1-1 draw between Leeds and Manchester United. Reaction with Taha Hashim here:
With Portsmouth v Ipswich postponed, a win for Middlesbrough will see them go up to second in the Championship and six points behind Coventry.
That Birmingham v Coventry game was a wild ride. Five goals, one red card and at the end of it the league leaders lose their second game in three.

First up, team news!
Preamble
Four three o’clock kick-offs in the Premier League, a (kind of) full programme of EFL and some tea-time action in the top flight, are we sure it’s not Saturday?
There’s a solid rump of clubs hovering in the top-point gap between fourth and 15th and all of this afternoon’s fixtures are very much in that group. We have Everton v Brentford, Newcastle v Crystal Palace, Fulham v Liverpool and Tottenham v Sunderland – all teams with top-half aspirations, if not higher.
I’ll have updates from all of those games, plus points of interest from the EFL. Sadly most of League Two’s action is off (ten matches in total), two have gone in the Championship – Sheffield United v Oxford and Portsmouth v Ipswich – have also fallen foul of frozen pitches, as have four in League One.
Of the games on in the second tier, Hull v Watford and Bristol City v Preston look promising.
Later on I’ll also have updates from the Afcon last-16 match between hosts Morocco and Tanzania. That should be a lively one in Rabat.
As ever, you can get in touch via the email link at the top of the page. Settle in.
