The Championship season draws to a close this weekend with a full slate of simultaneous matches set to determine the play-off contenders.

Brentford triumphed in the showpiece play-off final last season to earn a place in the Premier League, who will join them in 2022/23?

Teams have either two or three matches left to play this season, with Fulham the only team confirmed for promotion so far.

Bournemouth sit second in the table, three points clear of Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield. Luton Town’s remarkable rise continues as they sit in fifth with a cushion.

Sheffield United, Middlesbrough, Blackburn and Millwall all remain in contention to gate-crash the top six as the season draws to an inevitably frantic finale.
