Preamble and permutations

A dramatic denouement to a wonderful season of the Championship awaits! A few things we know about already, but so many other questions are still searching for an answer.

Leicester City are champions, but will Ipswich or Leeds United secure the other automatic promotion spot? The Tractor Boys just need a point against Huddersfield, but should they lose and Leeds beat Saints, Daniel Farke’s side will finish second on goal difference.

Ipswich and Leeds are at least guaranteed a play-off spot, while Southampton are definitely in the play-offs too. Norwich are all but in: the only way they can miss out is if they lose at Birmingham, West Bromwich Albion avoid losing at home to Preston, and Hull City win at Plymouth while overturning a seven-goal deficit with the Canaries.

West Brom currently occupy the fourth and final play-off spot. They’ll secure it should they beat Preston at the Hawthorns, although a draw will probably do, as their goal difference is superior to the only team that can catch them, Hull, by 11 goals. Hull will snatch that final spot however if the Baggies lose and Hull win at relegation-haunted Plymouth.

To the bottom of the division, then, where Rotherham’s fate has long been sealed. Huddersfield are also as good as gone: to survive, they need to win at promotion-chasing Ipswich and hope Plymouth lose at home to Hull while making up a goal-difference deficit of 15.

Birmingham are in serious trouble as well. Lose at home to Norwich and they’re down. They need to beat the Canaries and hope Plymouth fail to take all three points against Hull, in which case Argyle will be relegated instead. A draw may be enough though the Pilgrims would have to lose their match by at least five goals. Penny for Plymouth’s thoughts should they go down: they’ve not been in the relegation places all season. They’re guaranteed survival if they win.

Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn are also not yet safe. Wednesday will go down if they lose at Sunderland and both Birmingham and Plymouth win; Blackburn are for the off if they lose at champions Leicester, Birmingham and Plymouth win, and Wednesday avoid defeat. Both Wednesday and Blackburn are fine if they win their matches.

Elation, relief, disappointment and heartbreak guaranteed! It all kicks off at 12.30pm BST. It’s on!
