The Championship Stats - 4th to 6th April

Last updated : 06 April 2009 By Tony Scholes
There's been no change in the top six and the results over the weekend have now made it very difficult for such as Bristol City and Swansea to get back up with Preston now looking the only realistic threat to those teams in the play off places.

Down at the bottom Charlton's win at Southampton made little difference and it is now only a matter of which two will join them in League One next season.

The stats are below along with the leading goalscorers, each club's disciplinary record and this week's fixtures.
