David Prutton's Sky Bet Championship final day predictions

Every final Championship fixture kicks off at 12.30pm on Sunday. Watch Derby vs West Brom live on Sky Sports Football from 12pm.

Prutton's Predictions

David Prutton returns with his Sky Bet Championship predictions ahead of the final day of fixtures, but who is he tipping for victory?

Championship title

It looked like it was going to go to the wire for automatic promotion in the Sky Bet Championship, but Leeds' collapse allowed Sheffield United to seal it before the final day, which I must admit I didn't see coming! Boy have the Blades been celebrating since.

Chris Wilder is a driven individual, though, and he will want his team to win at Stoke and give themselves a chance of silverware. They are three points behind Norwich, with a better goal difference, so the title can still be won.

I fancy Sheffield United to turn up at Stoke and nick all three points, and Norwich have a difficult trip to Aston Villa. You don't know how many changes Dean Smith will make in that one with the play-offs coming up, but I have a feeling they could sneak the win and give the Blades the opportunity to claim the title.

Championship play-offs

While winning the league is always nice, this is where the real story lies on the final day of the Championship season, as Derby, Middlesbrough and Bristol City all jostle for sixth spot.

Derby are in pole position as they currently occupy sixth and know it is in their hands. They also have the advantage of playing at home on the final day, as they host West Brom, while Boro head to Rotherham and Bristol City visit Hull.

Rotherham will want to put on a show in front of their home fans before preparing for life in League One, but MIddlesbrough should have enough to see them off. That will put the pressure on Derby, but West Brom will likely make a few changes and I think the Rams can sneak it, therefore claiming sixth place.
