The last day of 2018/19 league action in the EFL is a bit less manic than the craziness of League One last night, but there's still two pieces of significance to decide in the Championship: who out of Norwich City or Sheffield United will win the title, and who will take 6th place in the playoffs.
The featured game is between Frank Lampard's Derby County and West Bromwich Albion, who incredibly still do not have a permanent manager having sacked Darren Moore nearly two months ago. Victory for the Rams guarantees them 6th and a tie against Leeds United, who could end up facing Aston Villa if the Baggies win and they lose to Ipswich Town. Tony Pulis's Middlesbrough and Lee Johnson's Bristol City could also jump into sixth if results go their way.
All games start at 12:30pm UK time.
PERMUTATIONS >Norwich will be champions if they avoid defeat at Aston Villa. They will also win the title if they lose and Sheffield United fail to win at Stoke. The Blades will be champions if they win and Norwich lose.
>Derby will secure the final play-off spot if they win against West Brom, live on Sky Sports Football. A draw would also be enough if Middlesbrough fail to win. A defeat would also do the job if Middlesbrough and Bristol City fail to win. Middlesbrough will finish in the top six if they beat Rotherham and Derby fail to win. Bristol City will secure a play-off spot if they beat Hull, Derby lose and Middlesbrough fail to win.
FIXTURES >Aston Villa v Norwich City >Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City >Brentford v Preston North End >Derby County v West Bromwich Albion (live on Sky Sports Football) >Hull City v Bristol City >Ipswich Town v Leeds United >Nottingham Forest v Bolton Wanderers >Reading v Birmingham City >Rotherham United v Middlesbrough >Sheffield Wednesday v Queens Park Rangers >Stoke City v Sheffield United >Wigan Athletic v Millwall

Lucas Reed
What's the deal with all the hyphenated last names nowadays? Hudson-Odoi, Loftus-Cheek, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexander-Arnold, Walker-Peters, Maitland-Niles — nearly every team got at least one of them.
Robert King

The play-offs have been solved
Aaron Turner

Carson Roberts
Is there anything he can't solve?
John Jenkins
black people trying to sound posh
Cameron Reed
Surnames from both parents. Surprised so many know who there father is tho
Nathan Johnson
>slipping to villa was it fair play?
Elijah Moore
Its because their dad is black and as we all know won't stick around so they stick the mum's surname on the end
Good on Leeds, keeping everyone entertained by finding new depths to plumb.
Michael Scott

Jackson Morales

Oliver Miller
Back on yer tractor la
Carson Butler
Catastrophe, that.
Jose Lee
Maybe if Middlesbrough didn't fuck up against Preston, Brentford, Bristol and all those other subpar teams we wouldn't see fuckface Lamp*rd in the playoffs
Hunter Peterson
Rather Lampard than Pulis
Levi Scott
CHAMPIONS
Isaac Ross
Bielsa did it again.
My mate, who is a Athletic Bilbao supporter, warned me about him. He literally doesnt know how to manage his squad, he overplays his players and they get to the end of the season completely tired
They stand no chance in the playoffs or with him as the gaffa for that matter
William Richardson
>rating poolis
Juan Peterson
tfw get reverse seasonal depression whenever the football season ends also have nothing to talk about with my dad until transfers happen
Jonathan Cook
Daft own goal that was originally overruled for offside to end the season
Next season is only going to be a massive shithouse fight, I hope we have a playing squad tough enough for a relegation scrap
No mate, i'm here studying. I'll go back to the motherland in June. I'll get to see us win the Nations League first.
I like it here because the Leeds bandwagon is non existent. Surprisingly i have met my fair share of Blades in here. For some reason Portuguese people like them but i don't remember any connection between the two
Carter Wright
Cause they're shit and this is the closest they'll ever be to the premier league again
whats the biggest leeds forum lads i wanna go laugh
Hudson Gomez
waccoe
we are champions, champions of europe
Connor Reed
Hope leeds nonces enjoy their 12th place finish in the championship next year
Angel Clark
peak delusion is Leeds fans thinking they won a European Cup when they infact lost.
Carter Collins
why the fuck they have a ch.l trophy there?
Wyatt Jenkins
they think they won vs bayern. mentally ill
Adrian Flores
It's not that they actually think they won, but given that the referee was arrested for corruption shortly afterward and the match itself was probably the most obviously rigged in professional football at that level, they tend to get a bit upset about it.
John Foster
>blues fan
based moorbro
Hudson Thompson
the 1973 cup winners cup against Milan was stolen from them, i give them that
>ynr when leeds kicked the shit out of Derby before their european cup semi-final against Juventus >ynr the ref of that match got banned for match-fixing FUCK ITALIAN CHEATS AND LEEDS SCUM
I just want Boro to be great again. Pulisball can fuck off and I'm glad he's going to get sacked
Brayden Cruz
Pulis got bailed out last year when after getting exactly 0 shots the entire game Derby's right-back put the ball into their own net to give both teams 1 point
Connor White
2 Bayern players got serious injuries, one career ending, in that game from Leeds' dirty bastard tactics. Leeds can go fuck themselves, they deserved to be cheated out of it.
Xavier Watson
>MK Dons vs. AFC Wimbledon derby next year Worth it just for that
Hunter Morales
Just been down to Bramall Lane lads. The players had to crowdsurf off the team bus.
