Blues are down to seventh in League One after Boxing Day results

Paul Lambert's side dropped to seventh in the table after the Boxing Day round of fixtures.

It is very tight at the top of the table mind you.

Both Town's games over the festive period, at home to Northampton on Boxing Day and at AFC Wimbledon tonight were called off because of positive tests among staff at Portman Road.

Town are currently next in action at Fleetwood on Saturday, although much will depend on the current Covid issues.

Brennan Johnson scored a brace as Lincoln cruised to a dominant 5-1 victory over bottom side Burton to move top of the League One table on Boxing Day.

The Imps took advantage of previous leaders Portsmouth not being in action due to an outbreak of Covid-19 cases.

Lincoln, who thrashed Northampton 4-0 last weekend, are on a good run of form.

Meanwhile, Charlton moved back into the League One play-off places at Ipswich's expense, after twice coming from behind to earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Plymouth.
