In the end, at the end of the game, Leeds United beat Stoke City 6-0 to continue to lead the top spot, and Burnley defeated Sheffield United 2-1, locking the top two in the English Championship with Leeds United, and successfully promoted to the Premier League two rounds ahead of schedule! Leeds United returned to the Premier League after two years, and Burnley returned to the Premier League after a year!
The finale of the competition between the English Championship and the Premier League
Before the start of the 44th round of the Premier League, the situation was already extremely clear. If Leeds United won and Burnley defeated Sheffield United, Leeds United and Burnley would be promoted to the Premier League at the same time. Leeds United would return after two years and Burnley would return after one year.
In the 44th round of the English Championship, Leeds United defeated Stoke City 6-0. The team currently leads the standings with 94 points, 8 points ahead of Sheffield United in third place! Returning to the Premier League after two years! Burnley also lived up to expectations and defeated Sheffield United. Burnley has remained unbeaten in the last 31 games in the English Championship, with a record of 20 wins and 11 draws. After a year, it has returned to the Premier League stage again.
The promotion play-offs are in complete chaos, Lampard is trying
According to the latest rules of the English Championship, in addition to the champion and runner-up going directly to the Premier League, the third promotion spot adopts the classic play-off system!
The 3rd to 6th teams will play a total of five games to determine the final Premier League direct spot! Among them, the third place in the league will play against the sixth place in the league in two rounds at home and away, and the fourth and fifth place will also play directly, and the winner will play a single game to decide the life and death! Since promotion will bring huge rewards to the English Championship teams, the four-choice play-off system is both cruel and exciting!
In this round of the league, the teams ranked 3-6 are in a collective slump!
Among them, Sheffield United lost to Burnley, Sunderland lost 0-1 to Blackburn Rovers, Bristol City lost 1-3 to Luton Town, and Coventry lost 1-3 to Plymouth. The league points ranking of the three teams did not change!
Of course, for Sheffield United with 86 points and Sunderland with 76 points, it doesn't matter if they lose, because their rankings have been determined. Sheffield United has no hope of competing for the second place and directly promoted to the Premier League. The ranking is locked in third, and Sunderland is locked in fourth!
With two rounds left in the league, Bristol City with 67 points and Coventry with 66 points are still at risk of missing the play-offs. Middlesbrough and Millwall both have 63 points and are eyeing the play-off zone!
Coventry has made great progress since Lampard took over this season. In the 21 games he led the team, he achieved 13 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. However, Coventry's performance fluctuated afterwards. After 44 league games, it only won 19 league games. Lampard's goal in the last two rounds of the league is to rush to the fifth and protect the sixth, stay in the play-off zone, and compete for the last Premier League promotion spot!
Three teams in the relegation zone exploded collectively, Luton is in danger
Three teams in the relegation zone exploded collectively, Luton is in danger
Among them, Luton defeated Bristol City 3-1 to win three consecutive league games, and the hope of relegation was rekindled! Cardiff City drew 1-1 with Oxford United, stopping their two-game losing streak; Plymouth defeated Coventry 3-1, and won six league points in the last three league games!
Currently, Plymouth has 43 points, Cardiff City has 43 points, and Luton has 46 points. There are only two rounds left in the league. As Derby County has 46 points, Hull City has 48 points, Oxford United and Preston have 49 points, theoretically, all teams may be able to successfully avoid relegation. Which three teams will eventually be relegated will only be revealed in the next round!
CAB PORTAL 도메인 specifically pointed out that Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League last season. Now Burnley and Sheffield United are fighting for promotion to the Premier League, while Luton is trapped in the relegation zone and may face two consecutive relegations. Luton needs to fight for it!
In the Premier League, the three newly promoted teams are also very "united". Southampton and Leicester City have been confirmed to be relegated, and Ipswich, the third from the bottom, is also on the verge of relegation. The collective relegation is surprising.
