Well now, this is quite something. The Owls rocket from 15th into the play-off spots. A big factor in this is Scotsman Steven Fletcher, who has scored four match-winning goals this season.

The Royals rise to within touching distance of the play-off spots, in a tightly-packed upper portion of the table. George Puscas' nine goal haul proves very handy in this case.
