    Brighton 0-0 Bristol City

    Finally Bristol City get forward down their left through full-back Joe Bryan but Uwe Huenemeier is equal to his low cross and clears comfortably.

    Brighton 0-0 Bristol City

    We're yet to see Bristol City, with the exciting Tammy Abraham up front, as an attacking force.

    But, remember, they would be happy with a point this evening as it would mathematically confirm Championship football for the Robins next season.

    It's shirt-sleeve order in Brighton this evening and it's the home side that show first.

    Two Bristol City defenders get in a muddle, presenting the ball to Glenn Murray but the striker skews his angled effort from 18 yards across goal and well wide.

    Brighton boss Chris Hughton makes five changes for the Seagulls' final home game of the season. Jiri Skalak, Gaetan Bong, Tomer Hemed, Beram Kayal and Dale Stephens all come in.

    Lee Johnson names the same starting XI for the fifth game in succession.

    Here's how the two sides line-up this evening:

    Brighton: Stockdale, Bruno, Huenemaier, Dunk, Bong, Knockaert, Stephens, Kayal, Skalak, Murray, Hemed.

    Subs: Maenpaa, Tomori, Rosenior, Sidwell, Murphy, March, Akpom.

    Bristol City: Fielding, Little, Flint, Wright, Bryan, Brownhill, K Smith, Pack, Paterson, Abraham, Taylor.

    Subs: Giefer, Magnisson, O'Dowda, Reid, Hegeler, Tomlin, Djuric.

    Brighton v Bristol City (17:30 BST)

    A couple of weeks ago, this looked like a really nasty fixture for Bristol City as they sat precariously above the Championship relegation zone.

    But 10 points from 12 following a 5-0 hammering at Preston at the start of the month saw the Robins start the day six points clear of danger.

    Wins for both Blackburn and Birmingham mean that technically the Robins, who host Blues next Sunday, aren't safe - but their goal difference is so superior they are as good as there.

    This is what keeping City in the division means to boss Lee Johnson, as he celebrated last weekend's win over Barnsley, and who can blame him.

    Thanks Ian. Yes, our focus now turns to the south coast where a win for Brighton over visitors Bristol City will see them clinch the Championship title.

    This is the beauty of a trophy, pictured before Bournemouth lifted it at Charlton two years ago, that the Seagulls will be hoping to collect in front of more than 30,000 fans this evening.

  13. Postpublished at 17:20

    Although Leyton Orient's game against Colchester is not over yet, there's one more match to focus on this afternoon as Brighton host Bristol City.

    And there's plenty riding on it. Steve Marshall will guide you through the 90 minutes at the Amex Stadium.

    Hartlepool couldn't find a leveller at Cheltenham, but Newport's defeat by Carlisle means the relegation fight will come down to the final day of the season.

    Pools are two points behind the Exiles, but their superior goal difference means they will stay up if they can beat title-chasing Doncaster and Newport lose at home to Notts County.

    The title race goes down to the wire as well, with leaders Plymouth one point ahead of Rovers after their victory over Crewe, and two points ahead of third-placed Portsmouth.

    Incredibly, seven teams are still in with a chance of earning one of the final two play-off spots with one game to play.

    • Accrington 1-4 Luton
    • Barnet 3-1 Grimsby
    • Cambridge 2-0 Crawley
    • Carlisle 2-1 Newport
    • Cheltenham 1-0 Hartlepool
    • Doncaster 1-3 Exeter
    • Leyton Orient 1-3 Colchester*
    • Mansfield 0-1 Portsmouth
    • Morecambe 1-1 Wycombe
    • Notts County 1-0 Blackpool
    • Plymouth 2-1 Crewe
    • Yeovil 1-1 Stevenage

    Leyton Orient 1-3 Colchester

    Despite a substantial pitch invasion at Brisbane Road, it seems that Leyton Orient's game at Colchester will be allowed to reach a conclusion.

    A number of fans are still seated near the centre circle, however, so it's unclear when the match will get back under way.

  16. Four still fighting for survivalpublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    Championship full-time scores

    Reading 1-0 WiganImage source, Rex Features

    So Wigan are relegated back to League One after one season back in the Championship, and four teams are still in danger of joining them in the third tier next season.

    Bristol City, three points above the drop, can pull themselves out of trouble with a point against Brighton in tonight's evening fixture, but Blackburn, Nottingham Forest and Birmingham are all separated by just two points.

    Fulham's draw with Brentford means they are all but mathematically assured of the final play-off spot after Leeds failed to beat Norwich, despite coming from three goals down to level at 3-3.

    • Barnsley 1-1 Burton
    • Birmingham 2-0 Huddersfield
    • Blackburn 1-0 Aston Villa
    • Derby 3-1 Wolves
    • Fulham 1-1 Brentford
    • Ipswich 0-1 Sheff Wed
    • Leeds 3-3 Norwich
    • Preston 1-1 Rotherham
    • QPR 2-0 Nottingham Forest
    • Reading 1-0 Wigan
  17. Pitch invasion at Orientpublished at 17:08 British Summer Time 29 April 2017

    There's a delay at Leyton Orient where, according to Colchester United's official Twitter account, hundreds of O's fans have invaded the pitch.

    Fans of the east London club, who have been relegated from League Two, held a protest before the game and that has spilled over towards to end of the match with Colchester leading 3-1.

    So, all of that means the final relegation place will (almost certainly) be filled by one of these three sides.

    Birmingham and Blackburn claimed vital home wins over Huddersfield and Aston Villa respectively, while Nottingham Forest fell to a 2-0 defeat at QPR.

    Blues visit Bristol City (who could still go down but would need to lose heavily to Brighton and Blues), Blackburn travel to Brentford and Forest host Ipswich in the final round of Championship matches next week.

    How are your nerves?

    FT: Reading 1-0 Wigan

    Wigan's hopes of survival are over and they will be back in League One next season after one year in the Championship.

    Yann Kermorgant's early goal was enough to win the game for the Royals, who not only climb to third but also guaranteed their play-off place.

    Job done for Blues but still not safe.

    They missed a penalty, had a man sent off and took the lead in an action-packed first half.

    Things were slightly more mundane in the second half but Craig Gardner's penalty ensured they claimed a first win under Harry Redknapp.
