Ipswich Town seized the Championship lead after a 2-1 win over Birmingham, while Millwall slipped to second after a 2-1 loss to Norwich. The Canaries’ victory gave them a superior goal difference and two games in hand, tightening the race at the summit as the season approaches with only games left and the table becomes increasingly competitive.

Norwich’s win was sparked by a swift equaliser from Pelle Mattsson six minutes after Mihailo Ivanovic’s opener, followed by Oscar Schwartau’s late header. Millwall’s manager Alex Neil admitted the team failed to defend moments well, a disappointment that may dent their push for automatic promotion as the top eight teams battle for the promotion spots.

Meanwhile, Derby County capped Easter Monday by beating Stoke 2-0, keeping pressure on the playoff chase. John Eustace praised a front‑foot display that saw two clean goals, while the Rams remain one point behind Wrexham and Southampton on goal difference, with a draw between those sides proving vital for the season's final race among the top clubs.

At the bottom, Leicester’s 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday squandered a chance to climb out of the relegation zone. Jordan Ayew’s late strike salvaged a point, but Gary Rowett admitted a series of missed opportunities cost the club a crucial victory. Five games remain for the Foxes to avoid back‑to‑back relegation in the season's final stretch.
