Championship promotion, play-off and relegation permutations on final day of season

It's going down to the wire...

With the final games of the EFL Championship season around the corner, just who will achieve the ultimate dream of promotion to the Premier League?

Leicester City have already secured an instant return to the top flight as champions after a strong end to the season. Meanwhile, Ipswich can secure a return to the top flight by avoiding defeat to Huddersfield on the final day.

Leeds United will have to rely on their Yorkshire rivals beating the Tractor Boys and they will need to win against Southampton or they’ll have to settle for the play-offs alongside the Saints and two of Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion and Hull City.

At the other end of the table, Rotherham United are already relegated and Huddersfield Town look likely to join them barring a miracle goal swing on the final day.

One of four sides will go down on the final day, with Birmingham City, who occupy the final relegation spot, needing those above them to drop points.

You can find all the Championship odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise, here are all the permutations for the teams involved at both ends of the table.

Championship promotion permutations

Ipswich will secure promotion if they collect avoid defeat in their final game of the season against Huddersfield.

All Leeds can do is win their final game and hope that the Tractor Boys lose, otherwise, they will have to settle for the playoffs.

Championship play-off permutations

A draw for Norwich in their final game would be enough to secure a play-off berth. West Brom need a victory to clinch their spot, although a draw should suffice.

Hull are two points adrift so need to win their final game and hope the Baggies are beaten.

There is a scenario where the Canaries lose and are the team to miss out, but it would require Hull to overturn a goal difference of seven.

Championship relegation permutations

All Birmingham can do is win and hope one of the teams above them drops points.

Victory for Plymouth would secure survival, but they could still stay up if they concede less than four goals and Birmingham fail to win.

A point for both Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday would clinch safety, but if those below them fail to win they will stay up regardless.
