Championship still in progress, 1-2 games left regular season for all teams.
Premier League: 4-5
Premier League -> Championship
Norwich City was clinched this weekend.
Watford is all but clinched.
Third spot, for the moment, is Everton's, but it's a three teamer at this point (Everton, Leeds United, Burnley).
Championship -> Premier League
Fulham has clinched.
Bournemouth's magic number for promotion is four. They are three ahead, but losing goal differential, on the next team (Nottingham Forest --both have two matches left).
Indeed, but their next game is *Nottingham Forest* on Tuesday night, which sound be interesting. Draw and they still have the advantage, lose and the advantage shifts to Forest, who have done a remarkable job in climbing up from the relegation places since changing their manager.

Bournemouth 82/+33 * (2 matches left)
-----
Nott Forest 79/+34 *
Hudd Town 79/+15
Luton Town 72/+14 *
Middlesborough 70/+12
-----
Millwall 69/+9
Milwall must win it's final match and:
* Middlesborough do no better than draw
* or Luton Town must lose both of it's remaining matches and a 5 goal difference is made up in the three results.
Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town have both clinched into the promotion playoffs and into the favorable home-away position for the two-legged ties.
Championship -> League One (all clinched)
Derby County (third year in a row financial improprities relegate a team C -> L1)
Peterborough United
Barnsley
League One -> Championship
Wigan Athletic
Rotherham United
and
Milton Keynes Dons/Wycombe Wanderers vs. Sheffield Wednesday/Sunderland, with the first listed team with the advantage of playing their home match (and any required extra time) second.
League One -> League Two
Gillingham
Doncaster Rovers
AFC Wimbledown
Crewe Alexandra
League Two -> League One (1-2 left)
Exeter City
Forest Green Rovers (both clinched)
Still complicated from there...
Northhampton Town 77/+20
--------
Bristol Rovers 77+15
Port Vale 75/+21*
Mansfield Town 75/+15*
Swindon Town 74/+20
----------
Sutton United 73/+14
Handle the simple part first: Sutton United must win (and have Swindon not do the same or PV or Mansfield Town lose both), or draw and have Swindon Town lose their final match by at least six. And that's only for a playoff spot.
Until the extra matches for Mansfield Town and Port Vale are handled tomorrow, we won't know where things stand. Unless both MT and PV lose, then the winner tomorrow is in the auto-promotion 3rd, Port Vale if both win. (This would remove the other scenario for Sutton United, who then must win and have Swindon Town not do the same or draw and have Swindon Town lose by six.)
If neither can do better than a draw tomorrow, Bristol Rovers is still fourth.
League Two -> National League
Oldham Athletic and Scunthorpe United (clinched)
National League promotion, and this is why Oldham's demotion out of League Football is so devastating, is one auto-promotion spot and SIX teams into a playoff. There are still 3 full rounds and a 4th partial left to even determine the former. Stockport County, as of the moment, has the auto-promotion spot.
