Huddersfield on top, but difficult days for Derby - Sam Parkin's EFL takeaways

Huddersfield lead League One after four wins in five under Martin Drury; Derby remain winless in the league since September despite drawing with Sheffield United.

BBC pundit Sam Parkin reviews the weekend's EFL action across all three divisions.

Huddersfield are on a strong run in League One, winning four of their last five matches under head coach Martin Drury and unbeaten since losing to Bromley on 19 September. They beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 with Derensili Sanches Fernandes scoring again. Parkin praised the Terriers' recruitment and form, calling Sanches Fernandes "a class above" and suggesting he is the best player in League One. "It's been a terrific start," Parkin said, noting Drury's credentials as a coach and the team's promotion credentials.

Chelsea moved to third in League Two after beating Newport County 1-0 with a goal from Charlie McCann. Manager Steve Cotterill has transformed the club's fortunes in his second spell, with Parkin highlighting McCann's goal-scoring record and the team's defensive solidity combined with improved possession play.

Derby County remain in trouble at 23rd in the Championship after drawing 1-1 with Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. They have not won a league match since 1 September. Goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom made crucial saves to secure the point. Parkin acknowledged Derby's injury problems and the failed summer takeover but expressed confidence in manager John Eustace's ability to turn things around.
