The 3-way battle to secure Premier League promotion from the Championship and join Coventry City

View Image

The Championship season is far from over with a three-way fight for the last remaining automatic promotion spot in the top tier of English football. With Coventry already guaranteed a spot after Frank Lampard guided the Sky Blues through a very impressive free-scoring campaign with 93 goals and lifting the trophy last weekend, the stage is set for a dramatic ending to see who will join them and who will continue their fight in the play-offs.

The draw at St Mary's between Southampton and Ipswich Town means the promotion race is wide open on the last day of the season. It was the Saints that were in pole position with ten minutes to go when Ryan Manning and Cyle Larin cancelled Wes Burns' opener for the visitor before Jack Clarke's strike from the edge-of-the-box saved the visitors blushes in the 87th minute.

It has left the Tractor Boys with a one-point lead over their promotion rivals but they know a win is needed to guarantee a spot in next season's Premier League. A draw or lose could be enough but they need to make sure neither Millwall or Middlesbrough win their respective matches.

The stage is set for an action-pack promotion fight on the last day of the season which promises to have more twists and turns over the 90 minutes.

Their dip in form has cost them dearly as Kieran McKenna's side must now get a win to guarantee the last remaining promotion spot and return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Their form has dipped in recent weeks and have only picked up one win in five as the club look to end the season with a win against a mediocre QPR side.

On paper, they have a relatively easy opponent to deal with at home as QPR remain on their winless run including three consecutive defeats at the moment so a win seems a strong possibility. A win will secure their second promotion to the Premier League in three years and a draw will be enough if results go their way too.

No one expected to see this side in the mix-up at all but Millwall are guaranteed at least a play-off spot having finished 8th in four of their eight seasons but are in a strong position to secure the automatic spot too. Head coach Alex Neil has done an incredible job on a shoestring budget to transfer this club from mid-table mediocrity to possibly tasting champagne this weekend and celebrate their first promotion to the Premier League.

On paper, they could not have asked for a better opponent in Oxford United who have already been relegated, for the visitors travelling to the Den this is merely a formality and the fans will want to continue to make that place a fortress and showcase what future opponents have in store in the Premier League.

Boro will be eager to return to the Premier League after nine seasons in the second tier but have the added dilemma of Wrexham wanting to secure a spot in the play-offs so their Hollywood story of back-to-back-to-back-to-back promotions can continue from the National League all the way to possible Premier League promotion.

The Teesside club have to win for an outside chance to seal the automatic spot with Ipswich losing and Millwall not winning to guarantee that spot. They can do it with Ipswich drawing at home but this would require Kim Hellberg's side to win by six goals or more to over take them on goal difference.
