Preston beat Swansea City 2-1 and go fourth with win at Deepdale Southampton win 2-1 at QPR in first game since Will Still was sacked as boss Bottom two Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City draw 1-1 at Hillsborough Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham Get involved: Use button, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Alex Hoad, Glenn Speller and Harry Everett HT: Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich Darren Kenton Former Norwich City defender on BBC Radio Norfolk There are a lot of problems in the club. That first half was totally unacceptable. That strike is up there for goal of the season from Barry Bannan, but some of the play from Norwich has been so poor, just not Norwich-like. HT: Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich Andy Giddings BBC Radio Sheffield commentator Big attendance, big goal from Barry Bannan. A headline writer's dream no doubt. A very impressive first-half performance from Sheffield Wednesday. They deserve the lead and it might have been by a greater margin too. Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham Better from Pompey as Josh Knight sees a 25-yard shot charged down by Matty James before Josh Murphy whips in a truly brilliant left-wing cross which Regan Poole of all people stretches to meet with his studs in the middle, only to divert the ball past Arthur Okonkwo's far post. HT: Preston 1-0 Swansea Scott Read BBC Radio Lancashire A lot to admire early on from Preston, zipping the ball around with confidence. A terrific strike from Thierry Small has North End the lead, but in truth it has been Swansea that have been the better side since. Use button, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Barry Bannan needs a statue outside Hillsborough. .. legend is over used, but I can't think of a better word for this super hero. Shayne, London Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham Ben Sheaf is allowed to advance with the ball from midfield by the back-tracking Pompey defence and eventually lets fly with a low shot from 20 yards which skids past Josef Bursik's right-hand post with the keeper at full stretch. Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich Captain fantastic Barry Bannan has Wednesday in front at the break with a wonderful 20-yard strike. That came after four minutes but inside the opening 60 seconds Norwich should have been ahead but Josh Sargent, clean through, slotted wide of the post. Sean Fusire and Jamal Lowe have also had decent chances for the home side while Jovon Makama has shot wide for the visitors. A big half-time team talk for Liam Manning you would think with the Canaries staring down the barrel of a seventh straight defeat. Preston 1-0 Swansea A 30-yard screamer from Thierry Small has given Preston the lead and they're up to fourth place as things stand. Goalkeeper Daniel Iversen has had to save from Adam Idah and Liam Cullen to preserve the advantage. What a season Preston are having at the moment. Preston 1-0 Swansea We're into two minutes of stoppage time at Deepdale. QPR 0-0 Southampton No goals at the break, but not for the lack of trying. QPR have had the better of the chances with Nicolas Madsen seeing a shot cleared off the line and Liam Morrison firing narrowly over but Saints have had moments of their own, though not a shot on target, with Ryan Manning's appeals for a penalty waved away and the ball being scrambled away from Paul Nardi's goal too. It's threatened to spring into life at times but hopefully the second half should be a barnstormer. QPR 0-0 Southampton Deep into THREE added minutes at the end of the half. Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich We'll have three minutes added on. Preston 1-0 Swansea Alan Kelly Former Preston keeper on BBC Radio Lancashire The Swansea goalkeeper has not been in the game, just one routine save to make so far. Those questions need to be asked. The North End goalkeeper has been asked to respond way more, but Preston are in front. Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham Conor Ogilvie returned to the side after illness today but he's gone down after a heavy challenge from Issa Kabore, which went unpunished, and looks to be struggling. Jordan WIlliams is getting ready in case he needs to come on in his stead. On the field Josh Murphy has just gone on a lung-busting run from midfield and down the left of the area before flashing a powerful shot across the face of Arthur Okonkwo's far post. QPR 0-0 Southampton Southampton's turn to come close but they are denied by a vital intervention from R's defender Liam Morrison in his own goalmouth after the recalled Jack Stephens had turned a deep free-kick back into the mixer. QPR 0-0 Southampton When he's on it, Ilias Chair is one of the trickiest players in this division. He's on it tonight. The Morocco international cuts inside and drives towards goal before firing just past Gavin Bazunu's upright. Preston 1-0 Swansea Swansea are coming alive now. Preston goalkeeper Daniel Iversen is called into action again to keep out a Liam Cullen strike. It's still that 30-yard belter from Thierry Small which separates the sides. Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich Oh dear. Kenny Mc Lean clips in a great ball to Norwich's Oscar Schwartau but rather than try to guide it home, the Dane attempts to control it with only Ethan Horvath to beat and it runs loose and out of play. What a waste. Portsmouth 0-0 Wrexham First glimpse of goal for Wrexham as Lewis O'Brien's strike from the edge of the box is beaten away by Josef Bursik after some neat approach play from Liberato Cacace. Moments later from the resulting corner O'Brien whips in a cross to Kieffer Moore at the back post but the red-hot forward's downward header is brilliantly clawed off his line by Bursik diving low to his left. Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich Liam Palmer is down injured for Sheffield Wednesday and needs treatment. Across come the players for a drink and words from their coaches. A penny to be in the huddle of Norwich players with Liam Manning. .. Last Updated 5th November 2025 at 21: 50 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
