Championship round-up: Sheffield Wednesday at risk of slipping out of play-offs after Aston Villa loss while Huddersfield's great form continues

The gap between Fulham in seventh and Sheffield Wednesday in sixth is now two points, with the Cottagers having played a game less, following the Owls' 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Jonathan Kodija was at the double at Villa Park on an afternoon when Vincent Sasso and boss Carlos Carvalhal were both sent off for the visitors.

Meanwhile Newcastle United's loss will boost top-two candidates Huddersfield Town whose own run of brilliant results continued at Brentford.
