Birmingham, Sheff Utd and Reading fight for second
The battle for automatic promotion reaches a thrilling climax
The table above shows every possible scenario that can occur in the battle for second on Sunday and what team goes up in each eventuality.
Birmingham control their own destiny but after throwing away a 1-0 lead and losing at home to Preston last week, they must now win away at Reading. If they flop, Sheffield United will take second with a win away to former boss Neil Warnock’s Crystal Palace. If the Blades fail to win then Reading can win promotion by beating the Blues, having been six points behind a week ago.
