Championship permutations as five teams battle to make the play-offs

The Championship season comes to an end this afternoon and there is a fierce race in the battle to make the play-offs.

Burnley and Sheffield United have already been promoted, while Reading, Blackpool and Wigan have all been condemned to League One, but there are five teams looking to join Luton Town and Middlesbrough in the play-offs.

The final two spots are currently occupied by Coventry and Millwall, but Sunderland, West Brom and Blackburn all still have aspirations of promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.

As things stand, Coventry are in the strongest position on 69 points, one ahead of Millwall and three ahead of Sunderland, West Brom and ninth-placed Blackburn Rovers.
