The Championship weekend

Last updated : 13 March 2015 By Michael Morris

C:WindowsTempphpEB3D.tmpWith 10 games to go we enter a busy week with three matches in quick succession before an international break.

Blackpool are odds on to go down. With 10 games to play and a 17 point deficit to catch up the fat lady is already over halfway though her act.

Millwall are in freefall and sacked Ian Holloway this week. Malky Makay's Wigan look to have the most fight but they still have an eight point gap to close on Fulham.

At the top it's much tighter. Four sides are on 66 points. Fifth place is on 65 points while Brentford in 6th are on 62 points. They face Cardiff tomorrow knowing a win would keep them in the hunt for automatic promotion.

Cardiff should be safe for another year in this division but with leaders Bournemouth to visit CC on Tuesdayit's going to be a difficult few days for Russell Slade's side. Any point from the next six would be a bonus.

There are 12 matches this Saturday and the fixtures are as follows:
