    Brighton v QPR (19:45 BST)

    Unsurprisingly, Brighton name the same starting XI from the 5-0 win over Fulham on Friday.

    QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has made three changes to the team that drew 0-0 at Cardiff on Saturday. Connor Washington, James Perch and Junior Hoilett all come in.

    Burnley v Middlesbrough (19:45 BST)

    Second-placed Burnley make one change from their 2-1 win at Birmingham on Saturday.

    Sam Vokes replaces Ashley Barnes in attack alongside top-scorer and Championship player of the year Andre Gray.

    Middlesbrough, who left it late to beat Bolton 2-1 at the Macron Stadium on Saturday, have captain Grant Leadbitter returning in place of Adam Forshaw, while Gaston Ramirez starts ahead of Ritchie de Laet.

    Relegation is now surely a matter of when and not if for Charlton, who will drop to League One tonight if they fail to beat already-demoted Bolton.

    Guy Luzon, Karel Fraeye, Jose Riga - the Addicks have had three head coaches this year, but none of them have been able to arrest the team's decline.

    There's also been plenty of drama off the pitch to match the struggles on it, with supporters holding a string of protests against owner Roland Duchatelet, including a mock funeral ahead of the loss to Middlesbrough last month.  

    Charlton have won just three away league games this season, but might fancy their chances of earning a stay of execution at managerless Bolton, who have managed just four wins at the Macron Stadium.

    And here's the story at the bottom of the second tier, where MK Dons and Charlton could join Bolton Wanderers in League One at around 22:00 BST this evening.

  5. Seagulls to swoop in?published at 19:28 British Summer Time 19 April 2016

    Brighton v QPR (19:45 BST)

    Amid all the uncertainty of who could finish where in the Championship one thing is certain, if Brighton win their remaining four fixtures they will be promoted.

    Despite currently sitting third in the table, the Seagulls have their destiny in their own hands with a potential winner-takes-all match against Middlesbrough at the Riverside on the final day.

    They hit five past Fulham on Friday, with Tomer Hemed (pictured) hitting a hat-trick, and will be looking for more of the same against another West London team tonight.

    The R's have nothing left to play for this season but are unbeaten in three and boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will want a strong end to his debut season at Loftus Road.

    Back to the Championship and it's second v first at Turf Moor tonight. As you can see, there's not a lot to separate the two sides.

    Who will sit top of the tree come later tonight?

    Something has to give in this one. Burnley are on an incredible unbeaten league run of 19 games stretching back to a 3-0 defeat at Hull on Boxing Day.

    Middlesbrough have won the past six Championship games. The biggest game of the season in the second tier so far? You bet ya!

  8. End of the line for Yorkpublished at 19:21 British Summer Time 19 April 2016

    Finally, in League Two York City will be relegated from the Football League if they fail to win at home to Portsmouth. 

    In fact, even a victory would not be enough to retain their league status if Newport win at home to Oxford United and Stevenage avoid defeat against Bristol Rovers.

  9. League One permutationspublished at 19:19 British Summer Time 19 April 2016

    Colchester will be relegated if they lose at Crewe and Shrewsbury and Fleetwood secure points at Millwall and at home to Sheffield United respectively. 

    A draw might also not be enough if Shrewsbury and Fleetwood win and Oldham get something out of their trip to Southend.

    The top two, Wigan and Burton also meet at the Pirelli Stadium, but neither can secure automatic promotion this evening.

    So here's how the land lies in the Championship...

    Charlton will be relegated if they fail to win at Bolton tonight, while MK Dons will also drop if they lose at Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham and Fulham pick up points and Nottingham Forest and Blackburn draw.

    At the top end of the table, Hull and Derby will secure a play-off place if they pick up points at Reading and Bristol City respectively and Cardiff lose at Brentford.

    Still with me?
