Though Wolves had lost 5-1 at Tottenham, seven days earlier, they took
advantage of Spurs' first defeat (with their three Welsh stars
missing) to draw level with them at the top in their quest to complete
a hat-trick of league titles, but the team lying seventh would
eventually overhaul them both.

Whilst Aston Villa were hell-bent on making their stay in the second
division no longer than a season, Cardiff were eager to join them in
returning to the top flight and the loss of three internationals would
not stop them winning at Huddersfield. Neither of the top two would be
disappointed at the end of the season.

QPR rose to the top on goal average, but they were stuck amongst a
pack of promotion chasers, and two points out of the next 14 would see
them drop to mid-table.

they were well on their way to back-to-back promotions, catapulting
them back to the second division after sixty years.
