    Burnley 0-0 Millwall

    The home fans are in full voice as they continue their promotion party at a sun-drenched Turf Moor.

    Millwall have started on the front foot, though, as neat play from Josh Coburn finds Femi Azeez, but the shot is blocked.

    Lions keeper George Evans then makes a good claim to grab a dangerous cross.

    Burnley 0-0 Millwall

    BBC Radio 5 Live at Turf Moor

    I got here ever so slightly later than when I like to be here but it’s meant I’ve managed to sample a bit of the atmosphere here in Burnley.

    The Royal Dyche pub round the corner was heaving and the street-side bucket hat sellers were doing a roaring trade as I made it to Turf Moor.

    The pressure is off for Burnley and but I can tell you now, if veteran Ashley Barnes scores today, the roof will come off. He starts for Zian Flemming, who can’t face his parent club.

    Millwall are looking to crash the party and make the play-offs. Even manager Alex Neil says they’ve come from nowhere to now have a Premier League dream. It’s out of their hands but winning five of their last six has put them in a great position, albeit results need to go their way.

    Nineteen-year-old academy graduate George Evans remains in goal - just his fourth game because of a goalkeeper injury crisis.

    Burnley need to better Leeds result for the title. Millwall need a win and scores to go their way to make those play-offs.

    Now Burnley have given us all a goody bag to celebrate promotion - so I’ve got a Burnley branded choccy straight out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to enjoy!

    The first BIG goal of the afternoon!

    Tom Fellows is allowed to drift into the box on the right for Albion before cutting inside and firing hard and low towards the near post.

    It somehow squeezes in past Thomas Kaminski and Luton are behind!

  4. 'A positive start'published at 12:37 British Summer Time 3 May

    Portsmouth 0-0 Hull

    A very positive start.

    The first big chance has fallen for the Tigers.

    It's been a good first six minutes for them, they would love the early goal.

  5. CLOSE!published at 12:37 British Summer Time 3 May

    Coventry 0-0 Middlesbrough

    Ellis Simms comes so close to an opener for the Sky Blues, stretching to wrap his foot around a low cross from the right flank having sneaked infront of Dael Fry but only hooking his powerful effort past the base of Mark Travers' upright.

  6. 'Early attacks for Coventry'published at 12:36 British Summer Time 3 May

    This is what Coventry need to do.

    They need to play on the front foot and in Boro's half. They've had two or three early attacks already.

  7. Postpublished at 12:36 British Summer Time 3 May

    Portsmouth 0-0 Hull City

    A win today will keep Hull City in the Championship, while a draw would only be enough if other results go their way.

    Tigers fans are not accustomed to seeing their side win on the final day.

    Remarkably, in the past 20 years they've taken the three points in their last game of the campaign ONCE.

    Matt Crooks flicks wide from an early corner for the away side.

  8. Postpublished at 12:35 British Summer Time 3 May

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    Stoke are enjoying plenty of early possession at Pride Park and Derby defender Matt Clarke nervously flashes an attempted backpass across the face of his own goal and behind for a corner to the visitors.

    It comes in from the left but the ref spots a foul in the box and Derby win the free-kick.

    QPR take an early lead at a ground they're unbeaten on in their past five visits.

    Harrison Ashby does well on the right flank, driving forward and cutting a ball back for Nicolas Madsen.

    Madsen takes a touch, sets himself and slots home from 15 yards out.

    Coventry 0-0 Middlesbrough

    First test for City keeper Ben Wilson as he comes out of his box to control a bouncing ball and then volley clear, under immense pressure.

    A few hearts in mouths among the home faithful who have seen the Sky Blues involved in some calamitous goals in recent weeks but first test, passed... just.

  11. Postpublished at 12:33 British Summer Time 3 May

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Blackburn

    With rival play-off contenders Coventry and Middlesbrough going head to head, Blackburn must win today to stand a chance of a top-six finish.

    Rovers are unchanged, while the Blades start with seven changes from their win over Stoke. Mind you, a few of them are returning big guns so read into that what you will.

  12. It's loud and defiant at Pride Parkpublished at 12:32 British Summer Time 3 May

    Derby 0-0 Stoke

    BBC Sport at Pride Park

    It was on the final day last season that Derby County sealed their promotion to the Championship from League One.

    The atmosphere that day was highly charged with anticipation.

    A year on, and the mood among the packed crowd is one of defiant apprehension.

    That feeling applies to both Derby and Stoke followers, because Championship survival is on the line for both sides.

    And if you were wondering what that sounds like, it's loud. Really loud!

    Leeds have made one change today as they look to win the title at Home Park as Sam Byram replaces Junior Firpo in defence.

    The Whites know a win will secure them the title while a draw would be enough if Burnley fail to win at home to Millwall.

    Argyle have made three changes for what is likely to be their final game in the Championship.

    With on-loan midfielder Darko Gyabi unable to play against his parent club, youngster Caleb Roberts comes in.

    Skipper Joe Edwards returns as does centre-back Makym Talovierov in place of injured duo Nikola Katic and Julio Pleguezuelo.

    The time for talk is over... there's nothing left to do but see how it all plays out.

    A dozen matches, a dozen teams with something to play for, here we go for the final full programme in the world's most unpredictable football division.

    We are under way...

    It’s a very big gamble for Lampard to drop Collins with one game to go. Last few weeks aside, I feel he was the strongest keeper we’ve had since Keiren Westwood. I hope it pays off, for all our sakes.

    I’m supposed to be studying for my final University exams next week but this is stressing me more. I know we should stay up mathematically but if anyone can go down from this position it’s us.

    They can be an expectant crowd sometimes at Ashton Gate but this place is absolutely pumping at the moment.

    Former striker and manager Joe Jordan has just been out to be honoured by the club and has done his best (Scottish infused) version of Churchill to get the crowd going even more.

    Have to say, the Preston fans have been in fine voice as well. They need to be.

    Whatever happens today this Leeds fan will end the day smiling and not just because of that exceptional-looking sweet treat

    We're rapidly heading towards kick off so let's see how you guys are getting on and how you're feeling at the end of a long old season.

    If you're a Leeds or Burnley settling in to enjoy your side's final Championship game before the big league next season or maybe a Portsmouth fan content with your side's efforts in their first season back at this level hit the thumbs up.

    If you're a fan of a team who saw their play-off hopes fall apart in the final weeks (I'm looking at you Norwich and West Brom) or one of the teams still in the relegation mire then I dare say you'll be wanting the down thumb.

    Good afternoon from Fratton Park.

    This place is in party atmosphere today as Portsmouth celebrate the completion of a successful return to the Championship.

    But there is no mistaking what this game means for Hull City. Their fans have packed out the away end over to my right and have been in for a while now, making a big noise.

    They will be desperate to avoid the drop, in what would be a shocking fall-off from how they finished last season.

  19. Can Tigers show teeth in time?published at 12:23 British Summer Time 3 May

    Portsmouth v Hull City (12:30 BST)

    It's not been a good week for struggling Hull City as they head into a huge match for their second tier survival.

    The usual lap of honour after the final home game was scrapped at short notice last Saturday after their damaging 1-0 reverse by fellow strugglers Derby, the players then saw their wages paid late and the end of season awards were cancelled.

    Not the best backdrop for a crucial match and boss Ruben Selles has called on the club to come together for this crucial game.

    The Tigers start today in the relegation zone and only a victory will definitely ensure they play Championship football next season.

    Hosts Portsmouth put their lingering relegation concerns to bed with two wins and two draws in their past four games and will want to put on a show at the end of a pretty decent first season back at this level since 2011-12.

  20. Luton hoping to pull one last rabbit out the hatpublished at 12:20 British Summer Time 3 May

    Luton’s trip to The Hawthorns is all about whether or not the Hatters will be still playing Championship football next season, given that West Bromwich Albion have nothing more than pride to play for.

    Few would have envisaged this scenario when Luton were playing Premier League football 12 months ago, but it’s the situation they find themselves in.

    Matt Bloomfield’s side have won three on the bounce for the first time this season, with their most recent victory over Coventry last weekend lifting them out of the relegation zone for the first time since mid-January.

    The Hatters start the day one point clear of Hull City in the bottom three and know a win will guarantee their safety, while a defeat for the Tigers would also see them survive.

    Should Hull avoid defeat, a draw might be enough for Luton to stay up but only if one of Preston or Derby lose - or in an extremely unlikely number of scenarios which would only be possible if Stoke are beaten by at least five goals by the Rams.
