Can Cardiff capitalise on that and open up a healthy gap over both Brighton and Leeds?
Not taking into account what happens in the three o clock games City go into Saturday's match at Bolton with a three point gap over 2nd placed Leicester. The Foxes are away at Watford. Maybe if the Hornets keep their heads they can do City a favour.
Third placed Middlesbrough also travel. They make their way South to Charlton. Where Cardiff go on Tuesday.
Crystal Palace in 4th play Blackburn in 5th. They can't both win three points.
Saturday's fixtures:
- Birmingham v Ipswich
- Burnley v Wolves
- Charlton v Middlesbrough
- Crystal Palace v Blackburn
- Derby v Blackpool
- Huddersfield v Bristol City
