Cardiff City and Derby County were beaten by Blackburn and West Brom respectively, with Swansea City being the biggest winners as they defeated Birmingham City 3-1.

Despite their loss, the Bluebirds continue to cling on to the fourth and final play-off spot with four matches remaining, although they are now just one point above their South Wales rivals.

As for Derby, they - along with Preston - are three points adrift of the top six, while Blackburn and Millwall are a further two points back.

And bookies have reacted after what has been a dramatic period of results in the division.

They still have Leeds United (1/33) and West Brom (1/20) as the odds on favourites to gain promotion.

Brentford (4/5) are the only other team at odds on to go up this term, with Fulham (9/4), Nottingham Forest (11/2) and Cardiff (11/1) following behind.

Swansea City are now as short as 14/1 to be promoted after securing back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham, while Derby are at 20/1 to be playing Premier League football next season
