Leeds United have overtaken Leicester City in the Championship table. The teams are level on points, but Leicester have a game in hand.
Ipswich Town have both clubs within sight and are only one point away from the top spot.
Leicester City are sinking in the Championship. A combination of poor form, and their potential points deduction due to Profits and Sustainability Rules has resulted in a major dip. The Foxes defeated Bristol City 1-0 earlier this season in the reverse fixture.
Bristol City won just one of their last six matches in the league. The Robins are eight points above the relegation zone. They should be comfortable in the table despite their bad form.
Leicester City took four points from the last two matches in the league. Their form is slowly improving following a three-match losing streak. The Foxes are the best away team, with 42 points from 19 games.
The away team won the last three fixtures between Cardiff City and Sunderland. The trend between these teams has been one of low-scoring games. The away team won the last three matches by identical 1-0 scores.
Cardiff City claimed a 1-0 away win in September when these teams last met. The Bluebirds are eight points off the promotion playoffs. However, Cardiff are coming off a derby 2-0 loss to Swansea.
Sunderland have hit a poor run of form. They took a mere one point from the last 18 points on offer. Sunderland lost their last four away matches.
Huddersfield Town are fighting for their Championship life. The Terriers are 22nd in the league. Goal difference has Huddersfield in the bottom three. Huddersfield and Coventry drew 1-1 earlier this season.
Coventry City are in the FA Cup semifinal. They are having a great season and it could get better. The Sky Blues are four points off the promotion playoff places. Mark Robins’ team are on a two-game winning streak.
Huddersfield Town took two points from the last four games in the league. The Terriers are in poor home form. Their last three fixtures at the John Smith’s Stadium ended without a victory.
Championship winning team Ipswich Town could go top of the table with a win and results going their way elsewhere. The Tractor Boys are aiming for the league double over Blackburn Rovers. Ipswich won 4-3 in the teams’ reverse fixture.
Rovers failed to win their last six matches in the league. Five of those six fixtures were draws. Blackburn are only three points above the relegation zone.
Ipswich won five of their last six matches in the Championship. The Tractor Boys are second in the away table. The team has a record of 10W-5D-4L and a goal difference of +7.
