Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the latest episode of The Clockwatch. Now, yes, we’re just a warmup for the big one at Wembley, but let’s hope we’re a tough act to follow. There’s two 3pm Premier League kick-offs to watch out for, both dealing with matters at the bottom-end of the table: Luton host Brentford, while Burnley are off to Sheffield United.

Key events

Tough thing to get round all of the promotion/relegation permutations but this is one to keep an eye on at the top of League One: Derby (2nd) will go up if they trump the results of Bolton (3rd) and Peterborough (4th). Derby face Cambridge United, Bolton host Port Vale, and Peterborough are at Bristol Rovers. Who will join Portsmouth who went up earlier this week? Excuse the self-indulgence, but I wrote a little something on Pompey a few days ago. Give it a read.

Elsewhere, there’s been a big result in Barcelona. Erin Cuthbert is Chelsea’s match-winner, and a dream European farewell for Emma Hayes is still very much on.

FULL-TIME: Leicester 2-1 West Brom

And the King Power can breathe. After back-to-back losses, Leicester cling on at home to nab the three points. They’re back on top of the Championship thanks to goals from Wilfred Ndidi and the old-timer Jamie Vardy. Despite their recent wobbles, a return to the Premier League beckons.

GOAL! Leicester 2-1 West Brom (Wallace 76)

Ooooooh, a bit of late drama at Leicester in the Championship. The hosts were 2-0 up but Jed Wallace has equalised for West Brom with a calm finish after gorgeous through ball from Cédric Kipré. You can feel the nerviness at the King Power.
