Friday 17 April 2020 10:05, UK
Stoke's Tom Ince has topped the Championship Power Rankings after the mid-week fixtures.
The former Huddersfield midfielder scored his third goal in as many games during a 2-0 win over Bolton, having assisted Bruno Martins Indi's opener.
Sheffield Wednesday's Adam Reach almost reached the summit after hitting another goal-of-the-season contender in a 2-2 draw with West Brom.- having smashed another against Leeds five days earlier.
Meanwhile, rivals Sheffield United drew level on points atop the Championship table after a 2-0 win at Blackburn, with Billy Sharp (No 3), Chris Basham (No 5) and David McGoldrick (No 7) all making the top 10.
Norwich defender Timm Klose soared into No 4 spot after breaking the deadlock during a 1-1 draw at Derby - having helped his side keep successive clean sheets against Wigan and QPR.
Leeds forward Tyler Roberts (No 6) scored his third goal from five starts this term to secure a 1-0 win at Hull, while club captain Liam Cooper (No 8) retained his lengthy spell among the top performers.
Meanwhile, Birmingham's Lukas Jutkiewicz slipped six places after a 1-1 draw at Brentford, while last week's table-topper Dwight Gayle also plummeted down the chart into No 10 spot after a goalless run-out in Sheffield.
