Who can be promoted, relegated and play-off spots this weekend in English football? (30 April)

It’s that time again, we look at who can be promoted, relegated and get in those play-off spots this weekend in English football.

The amount of games decreasing very quickly and it could turn out be very busy few days of presentations, celebrations and no doubt many drowning their sorrows.

Thankfully we are enduring this time of the season much more normally compared with the last campaign which saw some leagues standings based on PPG (points-per-game) and fans turning to official statements to find out the fate of their team.

Enough chit chat, now time to see this weekend’s permutations from across English football, find out below…

A few weeks ago, Norwich sealed their return to the Premier League, but the form of Watford – also won promotion last weekend – has meant that the Canaries have to wait to be confirmed as champions.

There are five points between the two clubs with two games to remaining, so a win over Reading will guarantee the title on Saturday. If Watford fail to win against Brentford they will also be champions regardless of their own game.

All three relegations from the Championship could be confirmed on Saturday. Wycombe are the most likely.

They are six points from safety with a far worse goal difference than Derby in 21st.

Anything but a win will see them drop back into League One, while a win wouldn’t even be enough should Derby pick up so much as a point against Swansea.

If Sheffield Wednesday draw they will also be relegated if Derby avoid losing in the afternoon.

Nothing they can do would prevent their relegation on Saturday should Derby win.

Rotherham, meanwhile, host Blackburn knowing if they lose and Derby win they will be down.

Hull City confirmed their promotion from League One last week, and they could seal the title on Saturday if they better Peterborough’s result. Hull host Wigan, Peterborough welcome Lincoln.

Peterborough, meanwhile, could have sealed promotion in midweek with a victory, but threw away a two-goal lead over Doncaster to draw 2-2.

They will be promoted if they avoid defeat against Lincoln – the only other side that can still catch them.

Northampton host play-off chasing Blackpool knowing they will be down if they lose.

They will also be relegated if they draw and Wigan avoid defeat at Hull, and they will be relegated whatever happens in their game if AFC Wimbledon avoid defeat at home to Portsmouth, and Wigan win.

Rochdale will be relegated to League Two if they lose at home to Doncaster. They will also be down if they draw and Wigan avoid defeat, and will be down regardless if AFC Wimbledon avoid defeat and Wigan win.

Cheltenham sealed promotion on Tuesday, and could win the title on Saturday, but only if Cambridge drop points at Harrogate on Friday night.

There are currently two points between the top two in League Two heading into the weekend.

If Cambridge do drop points then a win will be enough at Newport to become champions.

Cambridge missed the chance to go up last week, but will be promoted this time around if they win at Harrogate on Friday night. If they fail to win then they could go up on Saturday if Morecambe – who head to Walsall – and Tranmere – who visit Forest Green – fail to win.

Bolton will be promoted if they win at home to Exeter on Saturday. They will also be promoted regardless of Morecambe and Tranmere don’t better their result.

Grimsby were condemned to relegation in midweek, and Southend are likely to join them.

They find themselves six points adrift of Scunthorpe and Colchester, with a far inferior goal difference to both, and anything but a win at Barrow on Saturday will guarantee them the drop.

They will also be down regardless if both Scunthorpe – who head to Bradford – and Colchester – who host Salford – avoid defeat.

Now you’ve seen who can be promoted, relegated and play-off spots this weekend in English football, which do you want to see happen the most?
