Wrexham's 5-3 victory over Ipswich Town in an eight-goal thriller highlighted Saturday's EFL action, with Kieffer Moore and Nathan Broadhead scoring against their former club. The result strengthens Wrexham's play-off push as they move into the Championship's top six, while Ipswich's away form continues to haunt them with six of seven defeats coming outside Portman Road.

At the bottom, Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion remain locked in a relegation battle after both failed to win again. Albion's nine-game winless streak and Foxes' seven-game drought leave them precariously placed, with Leicester one point and one place above the Baggies. West Brom's managerial change to Eric Ramsay hasn't produced the desired upturn, making their position more concerning than Leicester's.

League One leaders Cardiff City suffered a shock 5-2 defeat to resurgent Plymouth Argyle, who have won three straight games. The Bluebirds' first loss of 2026 came after an astonishing six-minute spell where four goals were scored. Meanwhile, Portsmouth's back-to-back away wins, including victory at Millwall, have given them breathing room six points clear of the relegation zone, with Ebou Adams emerging as a key performer.
