That's how competetive the Championship is as we reach Matchday 41. It's coming down to which teams can hold their nerve and get the job done. City face a hugely tricky fixture at Bramall Lane. Sheffield Utd are fighting for the Championship survival.
Norwich are away at Watford. Malky Mackay won March Manager of the Month but has lost his last two games and Norwich were done 3 nil by Swansea on the weekend.
In fact the Jacks are the only top six team at home tonight, but they face Hull Cty who, along with Cardiff, have the most away wins this season. With the play off places just five points in front of them Hull have something to play for also.
Reading are the form team and they go to Scunthorpe looking for a seventh straight victory. Can there form continue? Scunthorpe are in the bottom three but they beat QPR on Saturday. The drama is unbelievable.
