Comment: The Premier League’s link-up with the Together in Suicide campaign is dispersing simple, blunt and essential messaging and this is a very good thing, writes Barney Ronay.

Championship latest: We have three early kick-offs in the second tier and it’s half-time in all of them. It’s scoreless between Bolton Wanderers and Cardiff City at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, while Birmingham City took just two minutes to equaliuse and make it 1-1 with Birmingham City shortly before the break at Pride Park. At the Hawthorns, West Brom and QPR have traded goals and it’s also 1-1 at half-time. A win would send the Baggies top of the table, while QPR will go second if they take all three points.
Meanwhile in Scotland: It’s quarter-finals weekend in the Scottish League Cup and last night Hearts ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against their Championship Stenhousemuir at Ochilview Park to book their place in the semi-finals.
Third tier Ross County, the lowest ranked side left in the competition, welcome Hibs to Victoria Park for today’s only 3pm kick-off, ahead of Kilmarnock’s clash with Aberdeen later this evening. Celtic travel to Ibrox tomorrow for a noon kick-off that will see one of the Old Firm Big Dogs exit the tournament.
