It says a lot about the level of competition within the Championship that Bristol City can go 10 games unbeaten, having not lost since the opening weekend, and be as close to top spot as they are to 10th.
The Robins 1-0 victory over Reading on Saturday moved them into sixth and level on points with the only team who have beaten them this season, Leeds, with leaders West Brom just two points ahead but, equally, 10th-placed Charlton are the same margin below.
West Brom returned back to the top of the table after their midweek defeat against Leeds United, responding with a 4-2 triumph over Cardiff City.
Only goal difference separates the Baggies from their nearest rivals Nottingham Forest who haven't lost since losing to Slaven Bilic's side on the opening day of the season, ten games ago.
Swansea City and Leeds United were both put to the sword by Stoke City and Millwall respectively, whilst Preston North End kept up their impressive form at Deepdale with a 5-1 thumping win over Barnsley.
At the bottom of the table, Huddersfield Town secured back-to-back wins by convincingly seeing off Hull City with a 3-0 win. That victory lifted them out of the bottom three at the expense of Reading, following their loss at Ashton Gate.
Here's a look at the latest odds, courtesy of The Pools, for the Championship title.
