Norwich are the big winners from the midweek action in the Championship, moving seven points clear after beating Bristol City 2-0.

The fact that Swansea had their trip to Blackburn postponed because of a waterlogged pitch helped too.

Brentford are up to third after their narrow win over Luton, and the Bees have at least a game in hand on the rest of the top six.

Middlesbrough are up to seventh, three points behind Bournemouth.

Preston see it out.

The conditions weren't conducive to a great spectacle but Scott Sinclair's fine finish was the difference and moves Alex Neil's side into the top half.

Birmingham were decent in the first half but in all they only hit the target with two of their 14 attempts on goal.

In the driving rain Jonathan Leko cuts inside off the right flank and his left-footed shot from 20 yards goes just wide.

That's about as close as Birmingham have come in this second half.

Millwall have been out of form recently but registered just their second win in 16 Championship matches as they beat Huddersfield.

After Scott Malone's early strike, the Terriers missed a penalty as they fell to a third straight defeat.

The Canaries are also nine points clear of third place - although they've played more games than the four clubs immediately below them.

Birmingham have scored just once in their past four Championship games and really haven't got going since the break.

Aitor Karanka has already brought Lukas Jutkiewicz and Jonathan Leko off the bench in the hope of causing Preston more problems.

There was a late scare for Middlesbrough but they see out eight minutes of stoppage time to take the points at Forest.

Britt Assombalonga scored against his old club and George Saville made it 2-0 just after the break on the counter.

Not long left.
