With just 10 Championship games left the race for promotion is tighter than EVER - with only 15 points separating Michael Carrick's revived Middlesbrough in third and 13th-placed Bristol City... but who will secure a spot in the Premier League?

With just 10 games to go in the Championship, the race for Premier League promotion is entering the final lap with 13 teams arguably in with a shout of of going up in an incredibly tight contest.

Just 15 points separate Middlesbrough in third and Bristol City in 13th, which highlights just how close the battle for the play-offs has been this term, with only seven teams finishing within a similar margin last season.

Burnley have led the division since the end of October, but with Sheffield United beginning to falter in second, Michael Carrick's side have the chance to snatch the second automatic promotion spot from under their noses.
