The supercomputer that is predicting one more major twist in the Championship promotion race

The SkyBet Championship is now at the business end with just three games left of the season.

Leeds United's promotion hopes suffered a blow following a surprise 2-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Wigan Athletic, while Sheffield United beat Nottingham Forest earlier in the day.

While Norwich City struck late to move closer to the Premier League with a 2-2 home draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

The race for the playoffs also remains wide open after both Bristol City and Derby County were held to draws, which allowed Middlesbrough to move into sixth after edging past Stoke City.

At the bottom, Bolton Wanderers’ relegation was confirmed and they will join Ipswich Town in League One next season.
