    That's it for our coverage of today's EFL action. Thanks for joining us.

    We'll be back on Tuesday with three games which will have implications at both ends of the Championship table.

    There's also a host of games in League One and League Two.

    How it stands

    It's looking increasingly difficult for Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe to remain in the Championship after defeats this afternoon.

    Rotherham could close the gap to Coventry this week, as the Millers host QPR on Tuesday before welcoming the Sky Blues on Thursday.

    Birmingham are out of the bottom six after their 2-0 win over Stoke.
