Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship game between Leicester and Birmingham.

In recent weeks, it looked as though there was a real chance Leicester could have lost all momentum and missed out on a top two spot altogether, but they have pulled it back and now lead the way again after two straight wins, the second of which came at home to struggling Birmingham on Saturday.

Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Norwich City and Ipswich Town.

Three straight wins, including two back-to-back over Easter weekend, took Ipswich top of the Championship, but the East Anglian derby defeat to Norwich at Carrow Road put them at risk of dropping out of the automatic promotion places altogether.

However, Leeds’ defeat away at Coventry means chances of finishing in the top two remain in their hands with five games left.

Leeds’ unbeaten run had to end at some point, but it came on Saturday against Coventry when they had the chance to move back to the top of the Championship.

They face Sunderland at home on Tuesday night, when they will hope to get back on track and ensure that defeat is an anomaly.
