Fulham sealed an immediate return to the Premier League on Tuesday April 19, when Aleksandar Mitrovic reached the 40-goal mark in a comprehensive 3-0 win at home to Preston.

Three days later, Barnsley were relegated to Sky Bet League One after losing 2-1 to Huddersfield at the John Smith’s Stadium, a result that led to the end of Poya Asbaghi’s tenure as Tykes boss by mutual consent.

Peterborough completed the relegation picture on Saturday April 23, when a 1-0 loss to promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest curtailed any hopes of keeping their survival bid alive.

What could happen on Tuesday night?

Ups

Fulham will be champions if their result against Nottingham Forest is better than the one Bournemouth achieve at Swansea.

Nottingham Forest will book themselves a play-off spot if they manage to avoid defeat at Fulham.

Portsmouth vs Wigan (7.45pm)
Sunderland vs Rotherham (7.45pm)

What has already been decided?

Crewe became the first team in English football’s top four divisions to be relegated after suffering a 2-0 defeat at Doncaster on Saturday April 9.

What could happen on Tuesday night?

Ups

Wigan are on the verge of promotion to the Championship, but will secure it on Tuesday night if they avoid defeat at Portsmouth.

Sunderland can book themselves a spot in the play-offs if they win against Rotherham, and Sheffield Wednesday lose at Fleetwood.

Earlier on in the day, a goalless draw against Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium saw Forest Green promoted to Sky Bet League One for the first time in their history.

What could happen on Tuesday night?
