Bristol City (67pts) and Coventry (66pts) are currently in control, but Middlesbrough (63pts) are just behind with a better goal difference than both. West Brom and Millwall still have slender hopes, but big defeats for both on Good Friday really hampered their chances. The key play-off games (all 3pm): Luton vs Bristol City, Plymouth vs Coventry, Sheff Wed vs Middlesbrough A huge win for Luton at Derby on Friday really blew the race to avoid relegation back wide open. Plymouth were beaten late on and are three points adrift of safety, while Cardiff's defeat at Sheffield United saw them sack Omer Riza and appoint Aaron Ramsey as interim boss for their final three games of the season in a bid to keep them up.

A crazy comeback to beat Barnsley 4-3 put them in pole position for the play-off places.

The key play-off games (all 3pm): Cambridge vs Leyton Orient, Lincoln vs Bolton, Mansfield vs Reading Burton picked up a point at Exeter on Friday, while Bristol Rovers earned a shock draw at Wrexham. It still remains most likely that it will be one of these two to take the final relegation spot, although Burton have the advantage of a better goal difference and a game in hand. How Rovers and Albion fare on Monday will have a huge bearing on Crawley and Cambridge's fates. Both could end up joining Shrewsbury, who were relegated on Friday. The key relegation games (all 3pm): Bristol Rovers vs Stevenage, Burton vs Birmingham, Cambridge vs Leyton Orient, Crawley vs Exeter Seriously, guys. Anyone?

Port Vale seemed nailed on, but then lost at Carlisle - who are 23rd - on Friday. They still lead the way, but it feels like Doncaster are the side with the momentum right now. Three points between the top four with three games to go. The key promotion games (all 3pm unless stated): Newport vs Walsall (12. 30pm), Chesterfield vs Bradford, Doncaster vs Colchester, Port Vale vs Grimsby.

Salford and Crewe will also be lying in wait, just in case.
