There are now just seven rounds of the Sky Bet Championship season remaining.

After Ipswich took top spot as Leeds and Leicester faltered on Good Friday, we take a look at the shake-up ahead of Easter Monday.

A battling 1-0 win at Blackburn on Good Friday has seen Ipswich take top spot in the Championship, a position they previously had not held since August.

Ahead of a clash with Southampton, Kieran McKenna’s side have promotion in their own hands this season.

A draw at Watford on Friday night was just the second time Leeds had dropped points in the Championship in 2024.

They no longer have promotion in their own hands, and will have to watch on again on Easter Monday as all their promotion rivals play before they take to the pitch at Elland Road – when they face Hull City.

Leicester looked as though they were champions-elect for much of the season and, until very recently, were on course to smash Reading’s record of 106 points in a single Championship season.

The wind has dropped from their sails badly over the last few weeks, capped by a defeat at Bristol City on Good Friday that saw them drop out of the top two for the first time since early September. They have a game in hand, but are very much not in form and welcome a dangerous Norwich side to the King Power in the opening game on Easter Monday.
