Ipswich's resilience in fighting back from two deficits against Middlesbrough could prove pivotal in their season. Despite a less-than-stellar performance, their ability to bounce back may define their promotion campaign.
With a game in hand, Ipswich now controls its own destiny in the pursuit of an automatic promotion spot. Meanwhile, Southampton's relentless march continues with a seventh consecutive league victory, solidifying their playoff position and potentially setting up a challenging team selection dilemma ahead of their FA Cup semi-final. Elsewhere, Hull City's struggles to hold onto leads have embroiled them in a fierce battle for the final playoff spot, with Wrexham and Derby also in contention.
Leicester City's woes deepened with a defeat to Portsmouth, leaving them on the brink of relegation to the third tier, a stark contrast to their Premier League title win just a decade ago.
