That's three QPR shots to Stoke's zero so far. Leicester 0-0 Coventry Here come Leicester. Jordan James uncorks a curling shot but it flies just wide of the far post. Coventry keeper Carl Rushworth - at full stretch - gets a finger on the ball to tip it wide in fact, fantastic save. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea A loose Swans pass becomes the catalyst for a Blues attack. When the ball finds Tomoki Iwata, the fans call out a loud 'shoooooooot' but while the midfielder is more than capable of the spectacular, he cuts it across to another proficient goal scorer in Jay Stansfield. Stansfield's straight shot takes a nick that steals all the pace though and it's easy enough for Swans stopper Lawrence Vigouroux to smother. Maybe Iwata should have given it a go. The fans would have liked to see it at least. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea Dafydd Pritchard BBC Sport Wales at St Andrew's Chris Davies and Alan Sheehan are two of the more animated head coaches you're likely to see in the Championship this weekend. The Birmingham and Swansea bosses have not stopped jumping around their technical areas, barking instructions at their teams. Leicester 0-0 Coventry Coventry's Jack Rudoni sees his glancing header drift wide. It came from a neat cross floated in from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto. Some slick play from the Sky Blues these past few minutes. Leicester doing enough to hold them off. QPR 0-0 Stoke First glimpse of Million Manhoef as he plays a nice flick to get round Rhys Norrington-Davies on the right-hand side for Stoke but the attacker's cross sails behind. Stoke having lots of the ball but it's the hosts who have had the better chances so far. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea Blues captain Christoph Klarer is cautioned for an arm into Zeidane Inoussa. Leicester 0-0 Coventry Steve Ogrizovic Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC CWR Coventry are keeping a good shape so far but they have to against this opponent. Leicester are pretty much a Premier League side so they play all kinds of different formations in and out of possession. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea Swansea's Ronald whips in a great ball for Zan Vipotnik in the box but the Slovenian gets his close-range volley all wrong and sees it zip high in the air. A opportunity missed there. QPR 0-0 Stoke Stoke have settled into a solid spell of possession but are yet to have a shot at goal. The Hoops are happy to press for the turnover and hit the visitors on the break. Ben Pearson's through ball evades Aaron Cresswell and Lewis Baker and rolls out for a goal-kick. That about sums it up for the Potters so far. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea Dafydd Pritchard BBC Sport Wales at St Andrew's It's a full house and a cracking atmosphere at St Andrew's. Great noise from the Blues fans. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea Better from Blues. They are starting to pile on the pressure in the final third but so far, each ball delivered into the box has been dealt with by a Swans player. It's been a three game goal-drought for Birmingham, remember. They'd love to get one in early. Leicester 0-0 Coventry Owynn Palmer-Atkin BBC Radio Leicester commentator Leicester haven't lost this fixture on home soil since 2001, a run of nine games, seven wins and two draws. Over the last decade it definitely feels like Leicester have had the upper hand. Leicester 0-0 Coventry Both Leicester and Coventry have started strong, with chances at both ends. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is on target for the Sky Blues with a low strike from just inside the box. Soon after it's the Foxes danger man, Abdul Fatawu, on target with a curling strike that's well saved. Birmingham 0-0 Swansea Neither side have settled into this one. It's all a bit nervy. Especially for the visitors when Blues summer signing Marvin Ducksch wins the ball high up the pitch but unfortunately for St Andrew's, their team can't complete the passes to build any real threat at goal. QPR 0-0 Stoke Koki Saito strikes from distance for the Rs and Viktor Johansson gets across well to make the save and hold on. There's a nice tempo to this game, pretty end to end at the moment. Send us your views using Get Involved button at top of page As a Leicesterian I would like to point out that Coventry v Leicester is not a derby! We look to the East Mids for derbies - Nottingham and Derby Ali - Leicester QPR 0-0 Stoke Almost an early clanger for the visitors as Nicolas Madsen steals the ball off Lewis Baker in his own half and plays the ball to Richard Kone. The striker feeds in Harvey Vale and the former Chelsea man's first time effort is tame and straight at Viktor Johansson. Could he have taken a touch there? Quite possibly. Leicester 0-0 Coventry Under way at the King Power in the East Midlands. A win for either side could see them jump into the

Championship top three. Which one of these in-form sides wants it more? #bbcefl The stage is set. A Midlands derby, a battle of famous owners and two in-form teams contest. What a way to start today's action and we get to enjoy all of it right. .. NOW! Last Updated 20th September 2025 at 16: 59 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
