    Edward Taylor: Burton were in a relegation battle all season but got over the line with one match to go. We can sit back and watch the carnage.

    Kazim: Even though we're in the more favourable position of the three, these permutations are too close to say we're safe. C'mon Birmingham! 

    Simon Atkins: It's all in our hands, but the BCFC "derby" is a tough final game, especially away. Nervous couple of hours ahead!

    Kazim and Simon in confident(ish) mood.

    Nottingham Forest 0-0 Ipswich

    The atmosphere is electric at the City Ground! Forest on the front foot but Ipswich scramble the ball clear from a corner.

    The first goal in the three key relegation games could be pivotal, for morale as well as the as-it-stands table.

    Forest have the easiest game on paper, but we saw that with Hull in the Premier League yesterday and it didn't work out like that.

    Brighton have a huge following at Villa Park today as they bid to win the Championship title.

    There's plenty of fancy dress on show as well - get in touch with any on show at your chosen game using #bbcefl on social media.

    Blackburn start the day in the drop zone, level on points with Forest but with a goal difference that is just one worse than their relegation rivals.

    Birmingham are two points clear of the other two, but can still go down if both Rovers and Forest win.

    If that happens, because of the Blues' significantly inferior goal difference, they'll have to win themselves to stay up.

    Everyone got it? Right then, here come the teams around the grounds...

    Who will win the Championship title?

    Brighton have lost both of their league matches since their promotion to the Premier League was confirmed, and that's allowed Newcastle to edge within one point of the Seagulls on the final day of the season.

    Brighton will be champions if they beat Aston Villa today. If they slip up and Newcastle better their result against Barnsley, the Magpies will take the title.
