With Reading losing at Burnley City have overtaken the Royals on goal difference and with this Saturday's opponents, Ipswich, not playing on Tuesday night we have overtaken them on goal difference as well.
Nowrich missed the chance to go top after a 1 - 1 draw at home to Coventry. City's win at Wimbledon has proved a vital after West Ham could only draw in MK. The other game saw Crystal Palace win at Stoke.
