    The teams at the top of the table won, while the ones at the bottom lost - it turns out sometimes even the Championship can be slightly predictable!

    The big winners on Tuesday night were the teams playing on Wednesday night!

    3-0 losses for Reading and Wigan, a 2-0 loss at home for Bolton and a point for Ipswich, means it is as you were at the bottom.

    Rotherham and Millwall are away at Queens Park Rangers and Birmingham City respectively - wins for either of them could see them move away from the drop zone at the expense of Wigan.

    I know we've got tomorrow night to get through first, but Saturday sees new Championship leaders Leeds host third-placed Sheffield United in a Yorkshire lunchtime derby.

    If that doesn't get you excited I'm not sure what will...

    Leeds United are top of the pile....for tonight at least.

    Three goals before half-time, including two very impressive strikes by Pablo Hernandez wrapped this one up early on.

    Reading's recent resurgence comes to a halt, but they stay three points clear of the bottom three with Millwall and Rotherham below them in action tomorrow.

    Ken Anderson's tenure as Bolton owner ends on a whimper - if the planned takeover of the club happens this week.

    A relatively forgettable game was brought to life when Steven Fletcher's excellent finish from Barry Bannan's lovely through ball put the Owls ahead just before half time.

    Rolando Aarons blasted a second after an hour to extend Steve Bruce's unbeaten run as Sheffield Wednesday manager.

    The Owls are up to 14th place, Bolton remain second from bottom.

    Last knockings now at the Madejski Stadium.

    Jack Harrison fires left-footed for Leeds which Emiliano Martinez parries out to Pablo Hernandez, but he snatches at his hat-trick chance and slices the shot wide.

    Just over two minutes plus stoppage time left.

    Danny Graham's double and Bradley Dack's 15th goal of the season gives Blackburn a comfortable victory over a hapless Wigan side.

    Paul Cook's side have won just one of their 19 Championship away games and will look over their shoulders as relegation rivals Rotherham and Millwall play tomorrow.

    Reading 0-3 Leeds United

    So nearly 4-0 to Leeds as Patrick Bamford finds himself through in Reading's penalty box.

    But, his left-foot shot rolls wide of the right-hand post. Just over 10 minutes to play.

    A huge win for Chris Wilder's Sheffield United against Brentford.

    With Leeds winning at Reading they needed three points to keep the pressure up at the top.

    Oliver Norwood's penalty put them ahead in the first half, but when Gary Madine was sent off six minutes before the break it looked as though it would be a tough night for them.

    But United defended doggedly and took their only real chance in the second half as David McGoldrick headed them 2-0 up with seven minutes to go.

    Bolton Wanderers 0-2 Sheffield Wednesday

    Super save by Remi Matthews to keep the score down.

    Rolando Aarons skips past his marker and squares for Sam Winnall, but his strong effort is brilliantly stopped by the Bolton keeper with 14 minutes to go.

    All over at Ashton Gate.

    Bristol City are back in the play-off places (on goal difference for now) but they will have wanted so much more from this.

    Ipswich battle hard for a defiant draw and there are boos from the home fans after that one.

    Bristol City 1-1 Ipswich Town

    90 minutes up on the clock and Ipswich midfielder Teddy Bishop nearly weaves his way through the home defence for a winner.

    Deflected wide for a corner but the Tractor Boys make little of it with three additional minutes to play.

    Around 75 minutes gone at Bolton. You have missed very little since Wednesday went 2-0 up.

    Not much really to add on this one with less than 20 minutes to play.

    Leeds had it sewn up well before half-time and they are heading to the summit this evening.
