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.

nPower Championship: Leeds United
This Yorkshire derby comes with both sides in need of points to avoid slipping down a compact league table into potential trouble. After the explosive earlier season encounter and the appointment of a new Leeds manager, tensions were high as bragging rights were up for grabs as well as the vital 3 points. 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: Bristol City
April Fools day brings a bottom of the table clash between Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday at Ashton Gate. With both teams fighting to stay in this league, it's no joke to say tensions were high as the very real threat of League One football awaits possibly both the Robins and Owls.

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.
