"Blackburn's win over Preston last night means they've now gone on a spurt of three wins in four games, a much-needed new manager bounce under Michael O'Neill. It also means, with Portsmouth in decent form themselves they've only lost two of their past seven that one of Leicester or West Brom looks likely to drop into League One. Oxford are second bottom but not completely out of the hunt for survival, though they have a tough task today away at Middlesbrough."
"Plymouth v Cardiff in League One was goalless the last time I checked, just before the half hour mark. Then the following happened: 28 mins Lorent Tolaj makes it 1-0 Plymouth 31 mins Aribim Pepple doubles the hosts' lead 33 mins 2-1 as Omari Kellyman reduces the deficit 34 mins Pepple scores again for 3-1 43 mins Kellyman scores again, 3-2 Football!"
"Right, we're starting a bit early on today's clockwatch to cover the intriguing EFL lunchtime games, which include leaders Coventry away at midlands rivals West Brom. It's hard to believe the Baggies and Leicester are now among this season's relegation contenders; the Foxes are currently away at Stoke, by the way. The Premier League stuff begins later on with a trio of matches Aston Villa v Leeds is surely the standout."
Plymouth v Cardiff produced five rapid goals between the 28th and 43rd minutes: Tolaj (28'), Pepple (31', 34') and Kellyman (33', 43') left the score 3-2. Blackburn's win over Preston delivered three wins in four under Michael O'Neill. Portsmouth's recent form, with only two defeats in seven, increases pressure on Leicester or West Brom to face League One danger. Oxford remain second-bottom but still have survival hope with a difficult trip to Middlesbrough. Sheffield Wednesday risk seeing their fate sealed in the upcoming derby. Coventry lead the Championship with goals from Ephron Mason-Clark and Jack Rudoni.
