    At the bottom, Barnsley's second win in three has lifted them off the bottom of the table and within a point of safety.

    Luton drop to the foot of the division but a creditable point at Leeds means the Hatters are two points from 21st place.

    Stoke are back in trouble after back-to-back defeats.

    Huddersfield go to Birmingham tomorrow, while Hull host Middlesbrough on Thursday.

    Leeds' home form in the run in could be key if they want to get back into the top flight for the first time since 2004.

    Their final three fixtures at Elland Road are against teams battling relegation - Stoke, Barnsley and Charlton.

    Looks fairly easy on paper. Tonight proved there are no guarantees in the Championship though.

    It's all over at Elland Road. A frustrating night for the hosts in their quest for a return to the Premier League.

    Leeds go four points clear at the top of the Championship, and the Whites are now six points clear of third place.

    Marcelo Bielsa's men need a maximum of 13 more points to win promotion to the top flight.

    Wigan 3-0 Stoke

    Wigan make it three wins on the bounce and nine games unbeaten to just about seal their Championship safety.

    It's also an incredible seven clean sheets in a row.

    The Latics move up to 14th and are eighth points above the drop.

    But it's back-to-back defeats for Stoke leaving them just a point above the relegation zone. Worrying times if you're a Potters fan.
