The Championship
Coventry City have already secured promotion as champions, while Millwall, Ipswich Town, Southampton and Middlesbrough are all chasing the second automatic promotion spot. Ipswich Town and Millwall, who were held by Leicester City last night, are guaranteed playoffspots at least. Wrexham, Hull City and Derby County are also hopeful of making the playoff party.
Needing one point from their final two games to guarantee their safety, Charlton Athletic are currently hosting Hull at The Valley in one of today’s early kick-offs. Following yesterday’s points deduction, West Brom also need a point to guarantee their survival and host Ipswich Town in another.
At the bottom, Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City have both been consigned to the drop, while Oxford are clinging on with a six-point gap to overhaul and only two games left in which to do so. With Charlton and West Brom already in action, Oxford could be relegated before their basement battle against Sheffield Wednesday kicks off at the Kassam Stadium.
