Alex Pattison admits he will be following the Good Friday games once training is over after Bradford City left themselves open to dropping out of League Two's automatic promotion spots. Victory would have taken Bradford top, but the draw means wins for Walsall, who host Harrogate Town, and Doncaster Rovers at Tranmere Rovers in Friday's 3pm games would drop them to fourth.

There might be a crisis of confidence around Sheffield United at the moment, but manager Chris Wilder is determined it will not panic him into jettisoning his young players or ripping up the formula that has put his team into a three-way Championship title race. The understandable jitters have started because the Blades have begun lagging recently, three consecutive defeats dropping them five points off the pace with 12 to play for ahead of Friday's 5.30pm kick-off against Cardiff City.

Stoke City v Sheffield Wednesday A film of Sheffield Wednesday's season would not be in line for any awards, but manager Danny Rohl is still hoping for a feel-good ending before the credits. The Owls’ penultimate away game of 2024-25 at Stoke City on Friday. The only cliff-hangers revolve around the hosts – and even then, the relegation peril is barely PG. Wednesday comfortably avoided a remake of last season's great escape, but have been unable to produce a rousing finale in the play-offs.

Ruben Selles has seen a "massive evolution" which has turned Ivor Pandur into Hull City's key figure in Friday's Championship game at Swansea City. Although the 25-year-old Croatian goalkeeper joined the Tigers in January 2024, he did not make his first competitive appearance until the opening game of this season, having been installed as No 1. Many foreign goalkeepers take time to adjust to their first season of English football, and Pandur was no exception.

Daniel Farke is confident his Leeds United players are in the right mindset for their return to action after what felt like a decisive weekend in the Championship's automatic promotion battle. The title race is still well and truly on, with Leeds and Burnley level on points with just four games to go. But a second consecutive win for the Whites and a third straight defeat for Sheffield United – late on, and with post-match ructions to follow – felt more definitive.
