Ipswich 1 point from promotion “ Championship this week “

- Leicester won the title on Monday




Updated


As we enter the final week of the regular Championship season, there are still plenty of things to be decided.

Champions, the second automatic spot, the final play-off place and the final relegation place will be confirmed.

Below is everything that could happen and how it could happen.



Automatic Promotion

Put simply, Ipswich will be promoted if they avoid defeat on the final day.

They will also go up if they lose but Leeds fail to beat Southampton.

For Leeds to finish in the top two, they need to win and for Ipswich to lose.

Play-Offs

Whoever misses out on the top two out of Ipswich and Leeds are guaranteed a play-off place with Southampton and Norwich.

The final place is between West Brom and Hull.

West Brom will secure it if they avoid defeat on the final day.

Hull will need to win and hope West Brom lose for them to finish in the top six.

Relegation

Rotherham are the only team officially relegated.

In reality, Huddersfield are also down. They are three points from safety but their goal difference means it is practically impossible for them to stay up.

The final place is between Birmingham, Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn.

Blackburn will only go down if they lose, Sheffield Wednesday avoid defeat and both Birmingham and Plymouth win.

Sheffield Wednesday will only go down if they lose and Birmingham and Plymouth both win.

Birmingham will be relegated if they lose. They will also go down if they draw or win but Plymouth match their result (along with the above permutations with Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday).

If Birmingham better Plymouth’s result then Plymouth will go down.

Preston North End 0-3 Leicester City

I've a horrible feeling Leeds are going to snatch the last auto.

I'm going for a Plymouth relegation.

I think it will come down to tomorrow night. If they don’t lose at Coventry, then Ipswich should go up. Can’t see Huddersfield causing them any issues.

I will go with Birmingham to go down, it’s not asking much for Norwich to win there.

Coventry v Ipswich tonight.

Coventry playing for nothing but Ipswich will go up with four points from their last two games.

Ipswich will be confident tonight that they will get the win or draw they need to move closer to promotion.

They beat Coventry earlier in the season.

Looking forward to this one.

I hope Ipswich do get the win but I feel they will slip up.

Ipswich with a massive win at Coventry tonight.

They will be promoted to the Premier League if they avoid defeat at home to Huddersfield on the final day.

They will also go up if they lose but Leeds don’t beat Southampton.

Great to watch, with few stars and definitely the sum of the parts is greater than their individuals.

Yeah, it's always a gamble taking these long-term coaches into the manager's job, but what a job. Destined for bigger things
