Overview
- Coventry City will secure a play-off spot with a win over Middlesbrough, while a draw leaves their fate dependent on Millwall and Blackburn dropping points.
- Middlesbrough must win at Coventry and rely on two favorable results—Bristol City losing, and/or Millwall or Blackburn failing to win—to qualify for the play-offs.
- Hull City face a must-win match at Portsmouth to avoid relegation, with a draw only sufficient if other results go in their favor.
- Bristol City, currently fifth, are one point ahead of Coventry and remain in contention despite a recent heavy defeat to Leeds United.
- Burnley, Sheffield United, and Sunderland have already secured promotion or play-off spots, leaving two play-off places and one relegation spot undecided on the final day.
