What happened. The Championship has entered a near three-week international break after eight games, with just seven points separating the top 15 sides. Swansea lead the table, while Wolves and Portsmouth have a game in hand due to Carabao Cup postponements.

Swansea top with 17 points, but only two of six previous teams with 17 at this stage won promotion.
West Brom have jumped from bottom five last season to top five this season.
277 goals have been scored in the Championship so far this season.

The break gives teams time to regroup before the 46-game marathon resumes, with the promotion race wide open.
