Just seen this article. All 24 Championship clubs could still be either promoted or relegated.

Incredible.

Be a shame to go up and leave it behind.

Never mind, there’s always VAR to look forward to. That’s a PROPER leveller…

Misleading claim
Looks to me like 4 teams have no chance of either going up or down

Mathematically all the teams could still go either up or down, Swansea are mid table in 12th and could mathematically still reach the play offs or be relegated. Crazy with four games to go

I know these are broad mathematical brush strokes but presumably - if someone had the inclination and time - it could be worked out that it's not actually possible for some teams to go up or down as not all the teams above or below certain teams can all win / lose - points have to be picked up somewhere

They've done that and it is possible given the fixtures.
