Leicester consolidated their position on top of the Championship with a 2-0 win at Cardiff, while their promotion rivals Ipswich were held to a 0-0 draw by struggling QPR on Friday. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Justin were on target for the Foxes in their 20th victory from 25 league games this term. Leicester are firm favourites for an immediate return to the Premier League after last season's relegation. They could also shatter Reading's record Championship points total of 106 set in the 2005-06 season.
