Championship LIVE: Reaction as Leeds United and Burnley are promoted to the Premier League

Leeds United and Burnley could be toasting promotion by the close of play and Bristol City have the chance to secure a play-off spot for the first time since 2008.

At the bottom, nothing can be decided today but the likely outcome could look a lot more streamlined.

Anyone feeling a little nervous?

So, how are you?

Is that Easter chocolate sitting a little heavy this afternoon or could it just be the nerves playing up as we enter the final straight of this Championship season?

The automatic promotion spots could be decided today and the play-off and relegation picture could well look a lot clearer.

But, let's face it, with this being the Championship it probably won't be that straightforward.

Welcome along for the ride...
