The Championship weekend

Last updated : 21 October 2011 By Michael Morris

Leicester City's win on Wednesday took them up a few places and pushed Cardiff down to 13th place.

Incredibly though the table is so tight that City are just 4 points off 2nd place. If Cardiff had won at Peterborough they would be seven places higher up the table. So it's not panic time but a win at home tomorrow over Barnsley is important so City do not start to lose touch with the top places.

It's an elongated weekend with ten fixtures on Saturday, one on Sunday and one on Monday.
