| We’ve got plenty of League One and League Two fixtures, but obviously the main focus remains on the top of the Championship. Watford and Middlesbrough are already well into it at Vicarage Road, so Bournemouth will hope to take another step towards the Premier League by beating Birmingham City at the Goldsands Stadium. They should win. They need to win. Norwich City are only two points behind and host mid-table Sheffield Wednesday at home. It’s. So. Damn. Tight. | We’ve got plenty of League One and League Two fixtures, but obviously the main focus remains on the top of the Championship.

| And the battle to get into the play-offs is just as fascinating. Brentford are looking good in fifth place after their 4-1 win at Fulham on Friday and host Nottingham Forest, while Derby County, winless in their past seven matches and wasteful enough to throw away a 2-1 lead against Watford on Friday, go to struggling Wigan Athletic. Steve McClaren’s side need to get back on track today. Only goal difference is keeping them in sixth, above Ipswich, who go to Huddersfield Town, and Wolves, who host Leeds United in the late kick-off. Leeds, eh? A one-club story machine. It’s never quiet there. | And the battle to get into the play-offs is just as fascinating.
