Championship State Of Play: Burnley Top, Coventry Flying And Terriers In Trouble

The Championship is on a mid-season break. Burnley beat Blackburn 3-0. The World Cup takes place during the break, so the Championship will be on hold for a month.

Burnley are top of the table, having lost just two out of 21 matches this season. Sheffield United are second, Paul Heckingbottom's side are in good form. Blackburn are third, while Watford, Norwich and Millwall make up the top six. Carrow Road fans are unhappy with their team's performance.

The Championship table is very unpredictable. The top six are level on 31 points. Coventry have flown up the table after a poor start. Reading have fallen away after bright start and Birmingham and Rotherham are well away from their predicted relegation battle. Coventry are the division’s joint-top scorer in Viktor Gyokeres.

Huddersfield are struggling in the Championship. Blackpool and Wigan are also struggling. West Brom are just above the relegation zone. Hull have been struggling recently and sacked Shota Arveladze on the day of a game. Burnley are top of the table.

Gyokeres, Ashley Barnes, Josh Sargent and Ben Brereton Diaz are leading the Golden Boot race with nine goals each. Aleksandar Mitrovic broke every record with Fulham this time last year.
