Five matches in the Championship at 15: 00 GMT Derby v Swansea, Portsmouth v Sheff Utd, Preston v Watford, QPR v Blackburn, Sheff Wed v Millwall Millwall would go third with win at bottom side Sheffield Wednesday Have your say using the Get Involved button Chris Peddy, Ben Ashton, Deepak Mahay & Ben Hutchinson Championship Here's a look at the live table at half-time then. Not a bad half for Blackburn who are up three places to 19th as things stand at the expense of Leicester, who drop into the bottom three. Meanwhile, Preston are into the top six. HT: Preston 1-0 Watford Alan Kelly Former Preston keeper on BBC Radio Lancashire Dominant from Preston, I really enjoyed the play and the whole side were connected. Dobbin got a good goal and they need to start like that into the second half. HT: Portsmouth 0-0 Sheff Utd Glen Little Ex-Portsmouth winger on BBC Radio Solent It's a half where Pompey haven't been short of chances - they played well but will be a bit disappointed to not get the goal. We kept the United frontline pretty quiet so far. I've been impressed with Pompey and it's been a really good game to watch. Porstmouth 0-0 Sheff Utd All square at the break at Fratton Park but Portsmouth will be wondering quite how. Ebou Adams, John Swift, Adrian Segecic, Terry Devlin and Colby Bishop have all gone close, while Bishop has also had a goal ruled out. Sheffield United will be relieved to get into half-time with no real damage done. Sheff Wed 0-0 Millwall Frustration for the visitors so far. Preston 1-0 Watford Preston lead at the break thanks to Lewis Dobbin's 19th minute goal. Luca Kjerrumgaard came close to a Watford equaliser but his header was clawed out by David Cornell. Work to do for new Hornets boss Ed Still. QPR 1-2 Blackburn Rovers lead at the break in an entertaining game at Loftus Road through Mathias Jorgensen's double, either side of a Koki Saito equaliser. Blackburn are 45 minutes away from a vital three points in their fight for survival. Sheff Wed 0-0 Millwall The clock creeps towards 45 minutes at Hillsborough and still the Championship's bottom club are keeping promotion chasers Millwall at bay. Owls keeper Murphy Cooper had to be brave to get down and prevent a goal from Josh Coburn and took a knock in the process, but was ultimately okay to continue. Barry Bannan and Femi Azeez have also had shots blocked but it's all square as we enter three minutes of added time. Preston 1-0 Watford Preston do well to win the ball back from Edo Kayembe and Lewis Dobbin strikes a powerful strike towards goal but it deflects wide as we head towards half-time at Deepdale. Derby 0-0 Swansea Goalless at the halfway stage at Pride Park. Swansea have dominated most of the ball and looked the more likely to break the deadlock with Eom Ji-Sung in particular looking lively and going close with a curling effort. Portsmouth 0-0 Sheff Utd Andy Giddings BBC Radio Sheffield commentator Wilder will be thinking that United have been second best in the attacking department and will want to sort that at half-time. There's been a few openings but they're on a different wavelength. Porstmouth 0-0 Sheff Utd Into the final few minutes of the half. Portsmouth have been by far the better side but haven't been able to take any of their several chances so far. Shots: Portsmouth 11-4 Sheffield United On target: Portsmouth 4-0 Sheffield United And yet it remains goalless. Derby 0-0 Swansea Sam Szmodics finds Ben Brereton Diaz in the area for Derby but his effort is saved by Lawrence Vigouroux. .. and then the flag goes up so it wouldn't have counted anyway. Mathias Jorgensen (39 min) The lead didn't last long! And Rs boss Julien Stephan will be furious because it's so easy. Sondre Tronstad pinched the ball off goal scorer Koki Saito in the centre circle and the Rangers players are too slow to react. Tronstad plays a ball through the middle for Mathias Jorgensen to chase and he pokes the ball beyond Joe Walsh for his second of the game. Clinical from the Dane. Porstmouth 0-0 Sheff Utd Yet another Pompey chance. .. losing count of how many they've spurned now. Colby Bishop rises highest from Adrian Segecic's corner but his header is just wide of the upright. The Blades have nearly used up their nine lives here. Preston 1-0 Watford Watford come close to getting a leveller. Othmane Maamma puts in a cross which is met by the head of Luca Kjerrumgaard inside the box but Preston keeper David Cornell does well to keep it out. Porstmouth 0-0 Sheff Utd Are Portsmouth going to regret not taking all these chances? Colby Bishop diverts Milli Alli's shot into the path of Zak Swanson but his header from close range is well saved by Blades keeper Michael Cooper. Derby 0-0 Swansea Derby have won just one of their past eight home games (D3 L4). The Rams are without a league win at Pride Park since New Year’s Day against Middlesbrough and have won just four on home soil all season. Something about playing at home that John Eustace's side seem to struggle with this season. Swansea are in control with 36 minutes on the clock. Koki Saito (35 min) The hosts are back level. And it's Koki Saito, who has looked their best player this afternoon. Isaac Hayden's effort finds Saito in the box, who takes a touch before rifling the ball into the top right corner. There'll be frustration for the visitors, who felt they should have had a penalty minutes before. Hoops keeper Joe Walsh came off his line and looked like he was pulling out of a challenge with Andri Gudjohnsen, but he appeared to make contact with the Icelandic striker. However, their appeals were waved away and QPR have taken full advantage. All square. Preston 1-0 Watford Derek Payne Former Watford midfielder on BBC Three Counties Radio What will give Watford hope is that Preston are low in confidence, you can see that. They just need to be better in the final third, heavy touches are costing us at the moment. Last Updated 14th February 2026 at 15: 50 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
