Looks pretty nailed on now that Derby will be promoted. Only need a point at home to rock bottom Carlisle next week.
Barnsley are still 5th but are in terrible form. 1 win in 8 and 2 wins in 11. It's still in their hands but after being up there all season they could now drop out of the play offs if they don't win on the last day.
The battle for 5th and 6th will be exciting next Saturday . Oxford have a tough fixture against an in form Exeter.
With the score 1-3 and 20 minutes or so to go, Wednesday are currently out of the relegation zone and Birmingham replace them there
First time since August they’ve been out the relegation zone. Got a feeling it will be Plymouth/Huddersfield who will drop. Be gutting for Plymouth as they haven’t spent any time in the bottom 3 this season.

From a Charlton pov, it might be better for Plymouth and Hudersfield to drop than some of the other clubs.
Lovely finish from Leeds, was beginning to think that after the frantic first half (which I missed), I'd be treated to no further goals, which would be bloody typical when I have a game on the TV
Huge game in the Championship about to KO with Leicester vs Southampton
Leicester win and they go four points ahead of Leeds (with them both having two games left), they'll also be five points ahead of Ipswich who have three games left.
Southampton win, and they'll go 2-points behind Ipswich, 4-pts behind Leicester in 1st, with two games left to play themselves
Peterborough forgetting the integrity of the competition by putting out a second string side tonight against Cheltenham. The Posh are guaranteed to finish 4th, but for the sake of the other teams, they’ve essentially match fixed tonight with Cheltenham winning to take survival to the last day.
Something Nathan Jones spoke out about recently and how unfair and disrespectful it is to other clubs and the league.
Makes the last day interesting and I hope to see one of Burton or Cambridge go down anyway, but it’s not quite the point.

Hopefully it'll f**k up Peterborough Play-Off hopes again
Surely you want to go into those with as confident a team as possible, bit like when we went up in 18/19
Barrow vs Mansfield Bradford vs Newport Colchester vs Crewe Crawley vs Grimsby Gillingham vs Doncaster
Doncaster were 18th ten games ago, they've won all their games since, proving its not necessarily how you start the season, but how you end it - Going to be difficult to look past them for promotion at the moment if they can continue that momentum.
But could be most fun at the bottom.
If Colchester lose 1-0, and Sutton win 3-0 (they got to Milton Keynes, who are already assured of a Play-Off spot), then it leaves those two in equal points, Goal Difference, and Goals Scored
Colchester would then stay up (as both H2H games ended 1-1), it seems because they've got eleven wins, compared to Sutton who'd have ten wins.
I can see Colchester getting something against a Crewe team who have lost form in recent weeks.
Bradford are another team on a late charge too, 5 wins and a draw in their last 6. Meanwhile Newport, Crawley and Gillingham have slipped out of contention, meaning we'll only be able to lose to them next season in the cups again,

Last night was their 8th game in a little over 3 weeks though so not a shock they rested players.
I'm a firm believer that the teams that go down generally do so because they've been the worst teams over 46 games. If Cheltenham go on to survive then Burton/Cambridge aren't going down because Peterborough chose to rest players in one game.
Believe Leicester would be promoted if Leeds lose tonight. Would also put Ipswich at a massive advantage for automatics (one point behind, two games in hand).

Szmodics then leaves Famewo for dust to equalise.
1-1.

Or you've got Arsenal vs Chelsea on TNT Sports

Lincoln are the one team I'd be praying to avoid
5th: Doncaster - 70-pts (+5)
6th: Crewe - 70-pts (+4)
7th: Barrow - 68-pts (+6)
8th: Crawley - 67-pts (+4)
9th: Bradford - 66-pts (-1)

Fowler, who was formerly co-owner of San Diego Padres and was on the management council of Major League Baseball, is worth an estimated $500m.

Looking at the BBC updates, I see Steve Brown is on commentary for BBC London!
Leicester going up ... and puts Dipswich in pole position for the second auto spot.
