Another memorable 46-game Championship campaign reaches its conclusion on Wednesday, with 11 of the 12 games having something riding on them.

And while West Brom, Brentford and Fulham battle to join Leeds in the Premier League, it looks like lawyers will have an impact on relegation.

Hull, Barnsley and Luton are the bottom three, but Charlton, Middlesbrough and Birmingham are still not safe.

And above them, Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby are at risk of points deductions that could directly affect the lower half of the table.

On Monday, the English Football League (EFL) released a statement that tried to clarify the situation.

It has now become certain that long after the final whistle is blown on Wednesday, it will still not be known which clubs are going down.

Team news headlines - Baggies change four

Here are some of the key takeaways from the team news:

Needing a win to guarantee promotion, West Brom make four changes: Kyle Bartley, Darnell Furlong, Filip Krovinovic and Callum Robinson come in for Ahmed Hegazi, Conor Townsend, Matt Phillips and Hal Robson-Kanu. Charlie Austin is on the bench.

Brentford's one change sees one Dane replace another in midfield as Emiliano Marcondes swaps in for Mathias Jensen

Wigan are unchanged, as they host fourth-placed Fulham

Playmaker Aiden McGeady returns to start, as relegation-threatened Charlton's only switch
The Addicks face a Leeds side - celebrating the title - who have made seven changes, but they had made several changes for their previous game too, so it's not quite as weak a side as it might sound. Hernandez, White, Harrison, Cooper, Klich and Bamford are all starting.

Teenager Jude Bellingham starts for Birmingham in his final game before moving to Borussia Dortmund for a record fee for a 17-year-old. The Blues have also dropped Scott Hogan to the bench.

Hull change two, as James Scott and keeper George Long both start.
