nPower Championship: Ipswich Town FC


The games are falling off the fixture lists quickly now and the season is coming to a close but will both these clubs still be in the Championship on the final whistle of the season? Ipswich Town under the stewardship of Mick McCarthy have improved and moved up the table steadily but the closeness of English footballs second tier means they aren't safe yet. The Owls are also creeping to safety but are still mathematically in danger of relegation so all 3 points for either team would be a major boost.

nPower Championship: Blackpool FC


With the season closing quickly, both of the teams here want to accrue as many points as possible, as both Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday look for the safety of mid-table mediocrity. With Blackpool looking for their fifth unbeaten match in a row, Wednesday would have to contend with the difficult Bloomfield Road aswel as a resilient opposition.

As the early kick off approaches, a somewhat less than capacity Elland Road anticipates a massive 90 minutes for both the Yorkshire sides.

nPower Championship: Blackburn Rovers

The one-club managerial merry-go-round that is Blackburn Rovers visit Hillsborough having won only one game in their previous 10 and accumulating a relegation form 6 points out of 30 available. The Owls meanwhile amassed 15 points in the same amount of games in their battle to beat the drop. Caretaker manager Gary Bowyer would be looking to £8m top scorer Jordan Rhodes to fire the struggling Rovers away from the bottom 3.

nPower Championship: Barnsley FC

The South Yorkshire Derby between Sheffield Wednesday and local rivals Barnsley FC comes with both teams in desperate need of all 3 points.
