How the Championship table is now predicted to finish

The play-off race took a dramatic twist this week



The race to secure a play-off place in the Championship took a dramatic twist yet again this week.

Cardiff City and Derby County were beaten by Blackburn and West Brom respectively, with Swansea City being the biggest winners as they defeated Birmingham City 3-1.

Despite their loss, the Bluebirds continue to cling on to the fourth and final play-off spot with four matches remaining, although they are now just one point above their South Wales rivals.

As for Derby, they - along with Preston - are three points adrift of the top six, while Blackburn and Millwall are a further two points back.

And bookies have reacted after what has been a dramatic period of results in the division.

They still have Leeds United (1/33) and West Brom (1/20) as the odds on favourites to gain promotion.

Brentford (4/5) are the only other team at odds on to go up this term, with Fulham (9/4), Nottingham Forest (11/2) and Cardiff (11/1) following behind.

Swansea City are now as short as 14/1 to be promoted after securing back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham, while Derby are at 20/1 to be playing Premier League football next season.
