Stoke City and Plymouth Argyle have been charged by the Football Association after four yellow cards were handed out in an altercation between players during the Potters' 3-0 Championship win on Saturday.
Two players from each side were booked in the 35th minute with the game still goalless. The incident was sparked by a coming-together between Stoke's Million Manhoef and Argyle goalkeeper Michael Cooper, after which it is alleged that "both clubs failed to ensure their players don't behave in an improper and/or provocative way". |

Hull City kept alive their Championship play-off hopes as they beat Coventry City in a furious five-goal showstopper.
But Sunday's beaten FA Cup finalists had largely themselves to blame as their own hopes of a second trip to Wembley in successive months were ended by three soft goals. The Sky Blues gifted Jaden Philogene's first-half opener, as well as Hull substitute Noah Ohio's 78th-minute winner with his first touch - while they were also on the wrong end of a contentious penalty. Twice the Sky Blues levelled, first through Kasey Palmer's superb free-kick and then Bobby Thomas's header but Thomas's under-hit backpass allowed Ohio to hit the winner just two minutes after leaving the bench to lift the Tigers back to within three points of sixth-placed Norwich City. |

Tom Cleverley has been named the new permanent head coach of Championship club Watford.
The former England player took over as interim boss after Valerien Ismael was sacked in March. Cleverley, 34, has lost just one of his seven matches in charge, with the Hornets safe from relegation in 15th place. |

Southampton boss Russell Martin has issued an apology to supporters who travelled to Leicester after their humiliating 5-0 defeat on Tuesday.
The Saints were outclassed and are now six points adrift of the automatic promotion places with two games left and a far inferior goal difference. "I want to apologise to the fans," Martin told BBC Radio Solent. "We’re going to need them in the next few games to pick the lads up." After defeat at Cardiff on Saturday and Tuesday's thrashing at the King Power Stadium, Martin's side look destined for the play-offs with a 19-goal difference between them and second-placed Leeds United. Saints have failed to capitalise when their promotion rivals have dropped points, with only three wins in their last eight games. Despite their disappointment in all but missing out on automatic promotion, Martin still believes his side can make it to the Premier League. |

Birmingham City interim manager Gary Rowett has warned his players there is no room to "feel sorry" for themselves as they prepare for a huge clash in the Championship relegation fight against Huddersfield Town.
The Blues travel to the John Smith's Stadium two points and a place above their hosts, but both are in the bottom three with two games to play. Rowett's side won 3-0 against Coventry City and drew 0-0 at already-relegated Rotherham United, but he said his side must be more consistent. "The margins are so small you just haven't got time to feel sorry for yourself," he told BBC Radio WM. "It shows the nature of the end of the season and our position that you play so well against Coventry and win, then go to Rotherham, not perform as you want or get the result you want. Four points is not enough at this stage when other teams are winning. |

Queens Park Rangers boss Marti Cifuentes said his team will have to stop Leeds United's "X-factor" forwards to win their final home game of the season and secure Championship survival.
The Hoops host promotion-chasing Leeds at Loftus Road on Friday night knowing three points would guarantee their safety with one game to spare. Cifuentes replaced Gareth Ainsworth as head coach with the Rs second from bottom and with eight points from their first 14 games. The former Hammarby boss has steered the west London club out of the drop zone and four points clear with two games remaining and wants to give the fans a chance to celebrate at their home ground. "They (Leeds) have a lot of talent in their team, young players with X factor," Cifuentes said. "We know that if we want to get something from this game we have to deliver our best performance otherwise there's not chance for us." |

Norwich manager David Wagner is thrilled the Canaries are flying towards the Championship play-offs under the radar.
City could seal a top-six place against Swansea at Carrow Road on Saturday, and a trip to lowly Birmingham follows on the final day. With most sides having two games to play, City could yet face any of the top four in a potential play-off semi-final, while Hull or even Coventry could provide their opposition, should several results go perfectly for them. “It is an interesting situation,” Wagner told BBC Radio Norfolk. “I really like our position - nobody is really speaking about us. “Everyone is speaking about catching us or even West Brom [ahead of City on goal difference], but nobody speaks about us. It’s all good.” |

Blackburn Rovers defender Scott Wharton is expected to miss the majority of next season after suffering a serious knee injury.
The 26-year-old fell awkwardly late on in Sunday's 3-1 home defeat by fellow Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday. Wharton, the older brother of Crystal Palace midfielder Adam, made 34 appearances in all competitions for Rovers this campaign. |

Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior wants a change in the rules after having to watch his team's crucial Championship win at Coventry City from the stands on Wednesday.
Rosenior picked up his third caution of the season at Watford on Saturday, leading to a touchline ban. However, he is appealing for "common sense" from the authorities after apparently being exonerated in the aftermath of the 0-0 draw. “A report came from the head of the referees association saying I should not have been booked, but there is no right of appeal,” he told BBC Radio Humberside. |

Leicester City have been promoted to the Premier League after Leeds United were thumped by Queens Park Rangers.
The 4-0 defeat at Loftus Road means Daniel Farke's side stay four points behind Championship leaders Leicester with only one game left. The Foxes remain on track to amass 100 points on their way back to the top flight following their relegation last season. |

A massive 2-1 win away at Coventry for Ipswich Town today means that they only need a draw at home to all-but-relegated Huddersfield Town on Saturday to guarantee their return to the Premier League after 22 years.

A nightmare end to the season for Leeds with the QPR result - although I won't be too annoyed if Ipswich go up as I do enjoy seeing newer faces in the Premier League.
