In the 45th round of the league, Cardiff City lost 0-3 at home to Ipswich Town, Sheffield United beat Swansea City 1-0 at home, and Reading finally got a win, 2-0 away to Norwich City after successive draws.

At the end of the 45th round of the league, Birmingham finally came from behind to complete the comeback, and they are now at the top of the Championship with 88 points. Wolves, on the other hand, were held to a draw in this game with 87 points, and now Wolves are one point behind Birmingham.

Third in the league is Sheffield United, who are third in the league with 79 points. Reading, on the other hand, are fourth in the league with 77 points, two points behind Sheffield United.

Cardiff City are fifth in the league with 74 points, while Burnley are sixth in the league with 73 points. All six teams qualify for promotion. Then there are Swansea and Preston North End, who are still on 68 points and are now out of the promotion play-offs.

In other words, the Championship has decided the Premier League promotion places one round in advance, Birmingham City and Wolves have already confirmed the two places for promotion, and the other four teams that have qualified for the promotion play-offs have also been born, and they are now competing for the promotion play-off qualification and the advantage of the first away and then the home.

And the relegation zone has produced two unlucky relegation stars, Charlton Athletic and Southampton, who are already ironclad in relegation.

The only suspense in the relegation zone now lies with Barnsley and Norwich, with Barnsley now three points ahead of Norwich and Barnsley behind Norwich on goal difference.

In other words, as long as Norwich wins in the final round and Barnsley loses, then the Norwich team will complete the counterattack and beat Barnsley to relegate with the advantage of goal difference.

Of course, the biggest suspense in the Championship here is the question of the title of the Championship this season.

With a point between the top two teams now in the table and Wolverhampton Wanderers, anything could happen in this final round of fixtures.

In the final round, Birmingham City will travel to face fourth-placed Reading, while Wolves host a mid-table Doncaster side.

Obviously, in this final round of the situation, Wolves have a very big advantage, Wolves can win the opponent very easily, and this is still their home field, they have the confidence and ability to turn the tables.

The last round of the Birmingham team is a bit dangerous, their opponent is Reading, and Reading, who are now ranked fourth in the league, have a good strength.

And at this time, Reading still has a chance to attack the third place in the league, they are only two points behind Sheffield United, who are third in the league, and they have a chance to finish third in the league.

There is still a big difference between the third and fourth positions in the league, as the third place in the league is in the promotion play-offs. There will be a big difference between the sixth team in the league and the fourth place in the league against the fifth place in the league.

Moreover, in the first leg of the meeting between Birmingham and Reading, the Birmingham team was not able to defeat Reading at their home stadium, but lost to the opponent with a score of 1-3.

Reading have a history of beating Birmingham City and it's very close. Reading are very confident of beating Birmingham, although in that game, Dongfang Chen was injured and did not appear in the line-up.

Before the game, Wolves manager McCarthy said in an interview with media reporters: "Reading are very strong, and our team may not be able to win against them. It's hard to say that Birmingham team ran into them. ”

McCarthy added: "Reading, I'm sure you can do it. The third place in the league must belong to you. I hope you can show a good performance, show the courage to beat Birmingham in the first leg, and beat Birmingham again, and I will celebrate you when the time comes! ”

Yes, at this time, McCarthy began to pull in foreign reinforcements, and he called on Reading and Birmingham to fight to the death. Because by this time, McCarthy had to look at other people's faces.

McCarthy was under a lot of pressure after being held to a draw by Barnsley in the last round, and many media reporters and fans put the blame on him, who should have won the league title easily this season, but it was because of the laxity at the last moment that gave the Birminghames a chance, and they were angry.

McCarthy himself was also very angry, seeing that the league was about to end, but they lost the top of the league, which was terrible, McCarthy was furious in the locker room that day, and scolded the Wolves players to the blood.

Wolves' central defender Frei and striker Blake have become the target of McCarthy's criticism, one is the player who scored an own goal in this game, and the other is a player who can't find North at all in this game, it is because of the shit play of these two guys that the team was drawn by Barnsley, and let the damn guy of the Birmingham team take advantage of the fisherman.

Now that he McCarthy can only look at other people's faces, McCarthy is very angry.

McCarthy also said before the game: "Reading are a team that can compete for the Championship title, in my opinion they are better than Birmingham City, so it was easy to win this game, especially since it is still their home stadium. I believe in you, Team Reading! ”

McCarthy didn't care about their own game before the game, and put all his attention on the game between Birmingham and Reading, which made the media reporters feel very funny, and it seems that McCarthy is also holding back and there is really nothing to do.

Reading manager Stephen Capel had this to say in a pre-match interview with the media: "Mr. McCarthy is purely distracted, and we don't need him to remind us that we will give our all to win this game." We are very much looking forward to third place in the league and we will win this game. ”

Reading's head coach Stephen Capel also commented on the Birmingham side news, saying: "The quality of the Birmingham team is actually very strong, and the fact that they are at the top of the league table is a testament to that. It's a very difficult team to play against and we will be cautious and try to win again. ”

Reporters asked Stephen Kapel what he thinks of Birmingham's main striker, Dongchen.

Stephen Capel immediately said: "Dongfang Chen is undoubtedly a very strong player, and his previous move to Manchester United is a good proof of this. ”

Stephen Capel was also an icon of Manchester United as a player, making more than 300 appearances for the Reds. When he mentions Manchester United, he has a kind look on his face.

Stephen Capel added: "Dongfang Chen is the top scorer in the Championship at the moment, and his quality is very strong. In the first leg between the two sides, we won against Birmingham, but at that time Dongfang Chen was injured and did not make the 18-man squad. This game will be different, Dongfang Chen will start, he will be our biggest threat, we will definitely defend him in this game and not let him score. ”

Stephen Capel added: "Wolves are also very good, but they made a mistake in the last round and allowed Birmingham to take their chances. It can be said that this mistake of Wolves was fatal. But it's not like they're out of the box now, because we're still there. ”

At this time, Wolves fans are putting pressure on Reading, and they call on Reading to uphold the principle of fair play and never play with Birmingham.

Yes, what Wolves fans fear most now is Reading and Birmingham playing tacit football, otherwise, their efforts this season will be in vain.

Wolves fans marched through the streets before the game, rumoured on Reading's online and preached the principles of fair play on various occasions, reminding Reading to keep them.

The Reading fans are excited now, and the damn Wolves fans have begged us sometimes, didn't they have their noses up in the sky before? Now you know how amazing our Reading fans are!

Both the Reading players and the manager said before the game that they would give it their all. They are giving it their all not to help Wolves, but to win, to challenge for third place in the Championship this season.

The Reading players are desperate for a win in this game, and they will have a million reasons to win this game if they want to complete the feat of beating Birmingham City in the league.

Wolves fans are reassured by the Reabi's players, who are confident that Reading can beat Birmingham City as they have a chance to win the league title.

Of course, at this time, the Birmingham team was naturally sought after by countless media reporters.

When Birmingham overtook Wolves to return to the top of the league table in the last round, Birmingham became the new darlings of the media, flocking to Birmingham to dig up some insider information and report it in their own newspapers.

So, at this time, the outside of the Birmingham training base was full of journalists, and they all rushed here in a frenzy to dig up the inside scoop.

Now is the most crucial time for the Birmingham team, and at this time, how could they possibly let these reporters interrupt their preparations?

The very cautious Birmingham team immediately implemented closed training sessions, preventing media reporters and fans from coming to the sidelines of the training ground to disturb the training and preparation of the Birmingham players.

The whole season has been a bit of a struggle, and there can be no problem at this time, so McLeish has chosen this conservative approach, keeping the media and fans close to his players and allowing them to focus on training.

McLeish knows the quality of the Birmingham team, and they have the quality to challenge for the Championship title. By the time they go to the Premier League next season, Birmingham have no chance of competing for the title, and they will only be relegated.

Therefore, for this Championship title, McLeish is very important, he must win this title, even if he leaves the Birmingham City team in the future, he has left a strong mark on the history of the Birmingham club.

The chairman of the Birmingham team, Yang Jiacheng, is even more important to this title, this is the first title since joining the Birmingham club, and they are very eager to use this title to give him a good start in the Birmingham team and start a glorious road.
