How the Championship play-off picture would look if the season ended today

The Championship play-off picture is still to be completed ahead of the final week of action.

Leeds United drew 1-1 with Aston Villa in controversial circumstances on Sunday afternoon to seal Sheffield United’s promotion. Norwich City defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-1 on Saturday to book their place in the top-flight. That leaves one promotion spot available which will be decided in the play-offs.

Derby, Middlesbrough and Bristol City all fighting it out for sixth place with the spot set to go down to the final day.

At the end of the season the team in third will play the side that finishes in sixth. The side in fourth will meet the side directly below them.

As it stands these matches are:
