How the final Championship table is expected to look on Wednesday night as West Brom, Cardiff City and Charlton Athletic hold on

There is so much at stake in the Championship ahead of the final round of fixtures of the regular season.

But with some clubs in significantly stronger positions than others when it comes to crunch matches at either end of the table, the league table may not change too significantly on Wednesday night.

Leeds United have already secured the league title, while there's a three-way battle between West Brom, Brentford and Fulham to join Marcelo Bielsa's side in securing automatic promotion.

Nottingham Forest, Cardiff City and Swansea City will fight it out for the two remaining play-off berths while a third of the division are still mathematically at risk of going down.

With all of that in mind, bookmakers have had their say on which side - along with Leeds - will go straight up, who will secure top six spots and which clubs will be relegated.

Sky Bet have West Brom as the overwhelming 1/6 favourites to join Leeds in going up into the Premier League automatically, with Brentford at 4/1 and Fulham at 50/1 to do so.

Further down the top half, Nottingham Forest (1/250) and Cardiff (1/9) are the overwhelming favourites to secure the final two top six berths, with Swansea priced at 9/1.

At the other end of the table, Hull City are the 1/50 odds on favourites to go down, according to betfair, who also say the Tigers will be joined in League One next term by Barnsley (1/12) and Wigan (8/11) who face being docked 12 points for entering administration.
