Sunderland's 2-2 draw with bottom of the table Plymouth means they stay fourth and could be four points off the automatic promotion places if Burnley beat Leeds on Monday.
It was a big day in the play-off race with West Brom's 5-1 hammering of Portsmouth jumping them into fifth place while defeats for Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers allows the chasing pack to close the gap.
Bristol City's 2-1 win over Rovers leaves them just one point outside the top six and up to eighth place.
Sheffield Wednesday's win at QPR moves them back into the frame while another defeat for Watford, this time at Coventry, sees them fail to take advantage and could that be curtains for boss Tom Cleverley?
