" Cardiff C /Fulham / Villa / Boro / Derby / Millwall / Preston / Sheff United / Brentford & Bristol City "

Cardiff City :bluebird:

Neil Warnock’s men are back up to second.

Cardiff bounced back from a miserable few days to secure a vital three points at Norwich.

They now know that winning all their games would take to the Premier League.


Nottingham Forest (h)

Derby County (a)

Hull City (a)

Reading (h)





Fulham

Fulham’s 2018 has been phenomenal and they are now on a 21-match unbeaten run.

But last night's slip-up against Brentford could prove costly for their automatic promotion hopes.

Millwall are next up and they probably need to win all three matches to stand a chance of competing with Cardiff.

Millwall (a)

Sunderland (h)

Birmingham City (a)






Aston Villa

Villa kept up the pressure on their rivals with victory over Leeds United.

They now need to win their remaining three matches and hope Cardiff and Fulham slip up.

Ipswich Town (a)

Derby County (h)

Millwall (a)





Middlesbrough

Boro ended their poor run of form against top sides as they beat Bristol City 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium.

That result suggests they have enough to make the play-offs but it won't be easy.

They will have to maintain that winning touch against their rivals or this season will go to waste.

Derby County (a)

Millwall (h)

Ipswich Town (a)








Derby County

Derby don't appear to have consistency required to secure a play-off spot.

Beating Preston and Bolton helped their chances but the defeat to Burton has made things tricky.

Their fixtures look tough and they need at least three wins.

Cardiff City (h)

Middlesbrough (h)

Aston Villa (a)

Barnsley (h)






Millwall

The Lions made it 16 games undefeated as they picked up a useful point at Sheffield United.

Promotion chasing Fulham are next for Neil Harris' side.

Their fixtures are tricky but they have shown that they are capable of competing with the best in the league.

Fulham (h)

Middlesbrough (a)

Aston Villa (h)








Preston North End

Preston moved back into the mix with a 2-1 victory over QPR on Saturday.

They are now three points off sixth spot and need three wins to stand a chance.

Their fixtures don't look too bad.

Norwich City (h)

Sheffield United (a)

Burton Albion (h)








Sheffield United

The Blades are two points off the top six after their defeat will Millwall.

It's in their hands with the fixtures to play and they could make a late surge.

Birmingham City (a)

Preston North End (h)

Bristol City (a)










Brentford

The Bees last-gap goal against Fulham keeps them in contention - just.

Like Bristol City, they need to win all three matches and hope their rivals don't.

QPR (h)

Barnsley (a)

Hull City (h)










Bristol City

The Robins need three wins from their remaining matches and to hope that their rivals slip-up.

The defeat to Boro could be the final straw for Lee Johnson's side who have struggled in the second half of the season.

Hull City (h)

Nottingham Forest (a)

Sheffield United (h)

Tough games for Boro, Millwall and Derby, could one of the lower teams like Brentford sneak in late ???
