Leicester can climb out of the bottom three with a win or draw against in-form Norwich (12: 30 GMT) John Eustace welcomes former club Blackburn to Pride Park with Derby having lost three of their last four matches Relegation-threaten Portsmouth host Hull with the Tigers able to move up into third with a win Seven games at 15: 00 GMT including Coventry v Stoke, Oxford v West Brom and Ipswich v Swansea Watford boosted their play-off hopes with a 2-1 win at Bristol City on Friday night Get Involved: Via yellow button below, #bbcefl on X, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Alex Hoad, Ian Woodcock, Adam Lanigan and Oliver Brindle Derby 0-0 Blackburn Blackburn will be relatively happy with how the near-30 minutes have gone so far. They have enjoyed more of the ball and have not looked inferior in any way. And a few groans rolling down the Pride Park stands will be music to their ears. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Chris Goreham BBC Radio Norfolk commentator Norwich are really starting to ask some questions of this rickety Leicester defence. Norwich are continually building up the pitch. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Paris Maghoma is given the freedom of Leicestershire to drive forward from well inside his own half after Leicester cough-up possession cheaply. Nobody closes him down and he opts to let fly from 20 yards out, with Jakub Stolarcyk getting down well to make a fingertip save to his right. Another let-off for the hosts. They are living dangerously at the back. Portsmouth 0-0 Hull With games against Ipswich, Millwall and Wrexham coming up, Hull could really do with putting a marker down for the play-offs and getting a win today. Too much to say season defining? Come on Hull! Jack, Leicestershire (originally Hull) Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City Ball of the day so far as Pompey skipper Marlon Pack turns defence into attack with a lovely ball through to Adrian Segecic. The Australian drives at goal but then skews his 20-yarder well wide. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Some lovely approach play from Leicester as Harry Winks' pass is flicked on beautifully by Patson Daka on the edge of the box, only for Bobby De Cordova-Reid to take a heavy touch on the left allowing Kellen Fisher to recover impressively to clear. Leicester 0-0 Norwich [Re: Sam 12: 33] Top is out of his depth and out of touch with the fans. Jon Rudkin [director of football] should have been sacked weeks ago. Plus Top doesn't seem to grasp the club like Vichai did. I fear if Top doesn't sort it out then it's League One next season. Tom, Rugby Leicester 0-0 Norwich A glimpse of goal for Patson Daka as he latches onto a pass from Ricardo Pereira (in a very advanced position for him) but fires a rising 20-yard shot over Vlad Kovacevic's crossbar. Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City Pompey left-back Zak Swanson is getting forward a lot so far today. He drew a save from range from Ivor Pandur early on with a decent low effort but this one is more routine as his right-footed effort drifts harmlessly at the Croatian. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Darren Kenton Former Norwich and Leicester City defender on BBC Radio Norfolk Leicester are just sitting further back at the moment, and Norwich are playing some good football around the Foxes' net. It feels as if it might be a matter of time before the deadlock is broken - Leicester are really going to need to dig in to get out their own half. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Worst feeling in the world. Mathias Kvistgaarden gets his head on a near post corner and sends it into the side-netting. The away fans go wild as the net ripples but a couple of seconds later reality strikes and the home fans have some fun. Very poor marking from the Foxes defence, however. A let-off. Derby 0-0 Blackburn The good and bad of Rovers forward Yuki Ohashi in one move. He produces a superb turn in the area in taking Moussa Baradji's pass beyond Matt Clarke. But rather than find the net, Ohashi drives his effort across the face of goal. The Japan forward does so much good work, but the goal tally does not match it. Derby 0-0 Blackburn We are now less than a month away from Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifier with Italy in Bergamo. Before then, Blackburn have four more games in the league, so Michael O'Neill has a lot on his plate. March is going to be very busy for the man with two hats. Leicester 0-0 Norwich The pressure is intensifying with Paris Maghoma and Ali Ahmed cutting through the Foxes defenders in the box. A clash of heads in the box will lead to a break in play and the chance for Gary Rowett to reorganise his troops. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Good spell from Norwich but Ben Chrisene's final ball from the left of the box is nodded behind by Caleb Okoli and the Foxes are able to deal with the follow-up from the corner. Most of Norwich's best stuff is coming down the left through Chrisene and Ali Ahmed. Portsmouth 0-0 Hull Andrew Moon BBC Radio Solent commentator If we had VAR in the Championship they would have taken a long time to look at the disallowed goal earlier on in the match, and now the penalty appeal. Ivor Pandur has had to make some great saves though. Leicester 0-0 Norwich Laughable that people still defend Aiyawatt (Top) because of his dad. His dad was great, but he's the worst owner in our history. Amy, Leicester Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City Regan Poole forces a decent save from Ivor Pandur as the visitors fail to clear from a corner. Pompey pushing. Leicester 0-0 Norwich After Abdul Fatawu's shot is charged down on the edge of the box, the ball breaks to Harry Winks to unleash a 25-yard fizzer which is uncomfortable for Vlad Kovacevic, moving in the air and just to his right but he gets down well to parry away in slightly unorthodox fashion and his defence are able to complete the clearance. Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City Terry Devlin, who got a couple at Charlton the other week, has a pop from range that Hull keeper Ivor Pandur spills out. Colby Bishop thinks he should have a penalty for a pull by Charlie Hughes as he looks to get on to the loose ball but nothing doing.
