Leeds left it late to snatch a 2-1 win at struggling

French striker Aboubakar Kamara, whose career at Craven Cottage looked over last term, scored his first goals of the season firing
Fulham to a 2-1 derby victory over west London rivals
QPR. Victory moved Scott Parker’s side up to fourth in the Championship to boost their bid for an instant return to the top flight.
Nottingham Forest held out with 10 men for more than half an hour to earn a goalless draw at
Bristol City. The result dented both club's promotion efforts with Bristol City falling out of the Play Off Zone while Forest remain in the Zone only by goal difference.
Millwall snatched a 1-0 victory over
Swansea who dropped into . The new Millwall manager has now claimed 10 points from five matches since taking over in October which has moved the club up to 10th just five points off the Playoffs.

Gerhard Struber's first game in charge of

Blackburn despite Cauley Woodrow's seventh of the season lookeing to have secured a much-needed point but Barnsley's defence once again fell apart. Barnsley remain at the foot of the table after stretching their winless run to 16, while Blackburn put some well-needed space between themselves and the bottom three.
Danny Batth's first league goal for two years and substitute Mame Diouf's injury-time winner saw
Stoke snatch a dramatic 2-1 victory over fellow strugglers
Wigan. Stoke remain in the relegation zone but just by goal difference.

Kamara, brought in to replace suspended top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, coolly took his chances after Rangers stunned the hosts with an early goal.
The Frenchman's double ensured Scott Parker's side triumphed for just the second time without the league's leading scorer among the goals this season.
Mark Warburton's QPR, who have conceded the second most goals in the Championship, remain the only club in England's top four divisions yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
Their third defeat in a five-game winless run leaves them 10th in the table, but they can slip as low as 15th if a number of sides below them win over the weekend.

| 12:30 | Charlton | 2-2 | Cardiff | 16,011 |
Cardiff City came from two goals down to salvage a point at Charlton Athletic in Neil Harris' first game in charge of the Bluebirds.
Harris marked his first game by handing starts to forwards Gary Madine and Callum Paterson, but it was the Addicks youngsters who made the difference in the first half.
The result leaves Charlton without a win in five games as the number of injury problems facing Lee Bowyer continues to mount.
Cardiff will be encouraged by the second-half performance under new manager Harris but the defensive frailties which have been an issue all season were once again evident at The Valley.
| 15:00 | Blackburn | 3-2 | Barnsley | 13,781 |
Bradley Dack scored twice as Blackburn Rovers spoiled Gerhard Struber's first match as Barnsley head coach with victory over the Championship's bottom club.
Struber made five changes, giving starts to fellow Austrians Radlinger and forward Patrick Schmidt up front, while Darragh Lenihan returned for Blackburn after missing almost two months with a knee injury.
Barnsley showed encouraging signs for their new boss going forward, but a worrying tendency to give the ball away in their own half again cost them dear, with misplaced passes leading to the first two Rovers goals.
Blackburn move up a place to 17th, with Barnsley now four points adrift at the bottom - and five from safety.
| 15:00 | Brentford | 1-0 | Reading | 11,892 |
Ollie Watkins headed his 11th goal of the season as Brentford secured a narrow win over Reading.
There were early yellow cards for Reading's Andy Yiadom and Brentford's Pontus Jansson in an even opening at Griffin Park.
The victory saw Brentford move up to eighth in the Championship and put an end to Reading's four-match unbeaten run.
| 15:00 | Bristol City | 0-0 | N Forest | 23,573 |
Bristol City failed to find a winner against 10-man Nottingham Forest as the promotion rivals shared a goalless draw.
The visitors were a man down for the final 34 minutes after Ryan Yates was given a straight red card for a two-footed lunge on Hungary midfielder Adam Nagy.
Bristol City's unbeaten run stretched to five games with their third draw in that spell, but they remain unbeaten at Ashton Gate since losing to Leeds United on the opening weekend of the season.

| 15:00 | Derby | 1-0 | Preston | 27,417 |
Substitute Martyn Waghorn grabbed the only goal as Derby County beat high-flying Preston North End to earn a fifth successive home win.
Derby created the better opportunities throughout and should have had more to show for it than the striker's fifth goal of the season.
Preston, who dropped a place to third in the Championship table following Leeds United's win over Luton, were below par in the first period but improved after the interval.
| 15:00 | Huddersfield | 1-1 | Birmingham | 22,573 |
Marc Roberts' header cancelled out Fraizer Campbell's opener as Birmingham City earned a point at Huddersfield.
The draw left Huddersfield three points above the relegation zone, with Birmingham 14th in the table.
| 15:00 | Luton | 1-2 | Leeds | 10,068 |
Leeds moved up to second in the Championship as Matt Pearson's late own goal condemned Luton to a fifth successive league defeat.
The decisive moment in a tight game arrived just into added time when Pearson put Mateusz Klich's cross into his own net after a touch from Patrick Bamford.
The win sees Leeds extend their unbeaten run to six games and leapfrog Preston North End in the table.
The Hatters should have left with a point, though, with Dan Potts heading a gilt-edged chance wide from the final passage of play before Luton slumped to another loss.
| 15:00 | Stoke | 2-1 | Wigan | 22,530 |
Stoke City struck in stoppage time to win Michael O'Neill's first home game in charge after coming from behind against out-of-form Wigan Athletic.
Substitute Mame Biram Diouf netted his first goal of the campaign, turning home Tom Ince's ball to move the hosts just one point behind the Latics in the table.
Stoke's win lifted them above Middlesbrough to 22nd in the table and level on points with Luton Town, while Wigan's poor run stretched to four losses in five games without a win.
| 15:00 | Swansea | 0-1 | Millwall | 16,840 |
Millwall continued their revival under new manager Gary Rowett as Jed Wallace's fine free-kick secured victory at high-flying Swansea City.
A third win from Rowett's first four games in charge lifts Millwall up to 10th in the Championship table, four points adrift of the play-off places.
Swansea now occupy the last of those spots, dropping down from fourth after a fourth defeat from their past six home fixtures.
| 12:00 | West Brom | 2-1 | Sheff Wed | 25,566 |
Substitute Charlie Austin's 88th-minute penalty earned West Bromwich Albion victory over Sheffield Wednesday to ensure that they stayed top of the Championship by two points while Wednesday, dropped a place to ninth in the table.
The Owls started brightly only to trail after 10 minutes when Wales striker Hal Robson-Kanu ran through and coolly slotted the ball home for his fourth goal in six matches.
Wolves old boy Steven Fletcher's second-half spot-kick, after Filip Krovinovic was caught in possession and fouled Kieran Lee, looked to have a secured a deserved point for the Owls.
But the Baggies pushed forward in the latter stages and Austin kept his cool to earn a 10th league win of the season following Owls keeper Keiren Westwood's foul on Matheus Pereira.

man Middlesbrough and maintain the pressure on Boro boss Jonathan Woodgate.
The hosts seemed destined for their first win in 10 games until Marvin Johnson's straight red card for a reckless lunge on Eric Lichaj while Boro led 2-0.
The point moves Woodgate's side out of the Championship relegation zone on goal difference, with Grant McCann's Hull up to 14th.
The last time Boro went 10 games without a win outside the top flight was in January-March 1985, and Woodgate's side welcome bottom club Barnsley to the Riverside on Wednesday in what could be a pivotal match.
