Championship final day LIVE: Latest scores and goal updates as Sheffield United lead Fulham in play-off places fight
LIVE – Updated at 13:01
The final day of the 2021/22 season in the Championship kicks off early on Saturday afternoon, with four clubs set to scrap it out over just two remaining play-off places.
We’ve already had confirmation that Bournemouth will be going back up to the Premier League after securing promotion, while Fulham are also back up after being crowned champions on Monday night with a 7-0 thrashing of Luton Town - who are one of the sides still hoping for a play-off place at the end of today. At the other end of the table, Barnsley, Peterborough and Derby County have all been relegated to League One. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield are guaranteed a play-off place already, with just their final position to be determined.
Along with Luton, who sit sixth at the start of play, Sheffield United currently occupy one of the remaining and much-coveted spots. But behind them, Middlesbrough can sneak in with a victory if one of those two clubs slip up, while the outsiders are Millwall who need to win and have all three other results go their way. Follow all the latest goals and live action on the final day of the Championship season below:
GOAL!
Might have to reduce the number of Sheffield United updates we focus on at this rate - they are now 3-0 up against Fulham thanks to Sander Berge! No chance the Blades lose their play-off spot now, surely.
Might need to sort themselves out a bit like... Most 'on the booze' performance I've seen for some time so far
GOAL!
Not good news for Boro - Alan Browne has fired in a brilliant volley to put Preston ahead in that game!
That will leave Luton fans rather more happy, given those early missed chances at home to Reading.
AS IT STANDS:
5th Sheffield United, 75
6th
