There are just 12 games to go of the Sky Bet Championship season.
Ahead of another busy weekend of second-tier action, we take a look at how the race for promotion to the Premier League is shaping up…
Leicester have just looked a cut above from the opening day and look destined for an immediate return to the Premier League. They have won 25 of their 34 games to date and will break their own joint-record – with Reading (31) – if they win seven more this term.
A damaging 3-1 defeat to Leeds last Friday night, however, means they are currently set to miss out on matching Reading’s points record (106) by just one point, given their current average of 2.29 points per game.
Leeds’ start on their return to the Championship was unspectacular and it was not until October they established themselves in the promotion race. Daniel Farke’s side are motoring now, though. They have won 16 of their last 21 league games and are on a run of nine league wins in succession, with just two goals conceded.
