The battle for survival in the Championship is heating up with just one round remaining before the play-offs. Here's a look at some key matches that could determine the fate of the bottom three teams.
1. Aston Villa vs Cardiff City - The clash between two relegation candidates promises to be a crucial match as both sides are vying for a place in the play-offs. A win for either team would put them in pole position, while a draw or defeat could see them slip further down the table.
2. Fulham vs Watford - Fulham have been on a stunning run of form recently and will be looking to extend their winning streak against Watford. Meanwhile, Watford are struggling to find their rhythm after a slow start to the season. This match could be a make-or-break game for both teams, with a win securing a top-six finish for Fulham and a chance to compete for promotion.
3. Burnley vs West Bromwich Albion - Burnley are currently sitting just outside the play-off places, while West Brom are in serious danger of being relegated. A win for either side could give them a boost in their quest for survival, but a loss could send them spiralling out of the race.
4. Sheffield United vs Middlesbrough - Both teams are fighting for survival, with Sheffield United needing all three points to keep their hopes alive, while Middlesbrough are still searching for their first win of the season. This match could be a tight affair, with both sides knowing full well that a win could be the difference between safety and disaster.
5. Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace - Bournemouth are currently one point off the play-off places, while Crystal Palace are in desperate need of a victory to stay in the fight. A win for either side could give them a boost in their quest for survival, but a loss could see them slip even further behind.
These are just a few of the key matches that could determine the fate of the bottom three teams in the Championship. As the final round approaches, it looks like there's still plenty of drama to come.
