Promotion Chance for Leeds United on Easter Monday; Mark Hughes Anxiously Awaits Potential Relegation

Get ready for an electrifying Monday in the EFL, as the season's climax brews excitement

Promotions, play-off spots, relegations, and survival will be decided across the Championship, League One, and League Two today.

The sole Premier League fixture of Gameweek 33 will air exclusively on talkSPORT, featuring Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest.

But it's the drama below the top-flight that steals the show, with three divisions brimming with a full bill of fixtures.

Championship

The top-two of the division may seal their return to the Premier League.Leeds, playing Stoke City, edge closer to promotion with a win, but eyes will then turn to Turf Moor, where Burnley face Sheffield United in the evening kick-off. A victory for Burnley guarantees a top-two finish for their rivals.

No relegation places will be confirmed yet, with a fierce battle set to continue into next weekend.

Play-offs and bottom places

Bristol City has a chance to secure a play-off spot if they beat Luton and Middlesbrough lose to Sheffield Wednesday. A draw could work in their favor if Middlesbrough, Millwall, and Blackburn all falter.

Meanwhile, Plymouth faces the possibility of relegation if they lose to Coventry and Hull, Luton, and Derby all win. Cardiff grapples with the danger of relegation if Derby or Luton outperform their performance.

League One

The day could mean survival for Crawley and Cambridge, who aim to avoid joining Shrewsbury Town, already relegated.

Crawley needs to match the results of Bristol Rovers and Burton, who face Stevenage and Birmingham, respectively. Cambridge's fate remains uncertain if they lose to Leyton Orient, as long as neither Burton nor Bristol Rovers triumphs.

The promotion race won't be decided until at least Saturday, with an exciting conclusion on the horizon.

League Two

Morecambe's EFL status hangs by a fragile thread following a narrow defeat to Bromley. They can hold onto their league status with a win over Salford City, but relegation remains a grim possibility if 22nd-placed Tranmere also wins.

Promotion contenders like Port Vale are assured of a play-off spot, with Doncaster, Bradford, Walsall, and Wimbledon vying for automatic spots.

Key outcomes will unfold across each league on Monday. Stay tuned for live updates on talkSPORT.
