...and over the last week many will have had the chance to see six of the top seven in action.
So on this week’s evidence what do we think?
I haven’t seen Norwich at all this season so can’t comment on them. Leeds were obviously lucky in the manner of their equaliser today but Forest seemed to do little more than just hang on for most of the match. West Brom and Boro’ have both been made to look second best by the Rams in the space of three days so for me Leeds, Derby and the Blades currently look most likely.
Plenty of other contenders still to show though and (home) bogey team Birmingham City may well be amongst them...won’t be easy.
