How it could pan out today

Wolves stand on the brink of a return to the Premier League but what exactly could unfold across the Championship?

QPR stand in the way of Mick McCarthy's men and the Promised Land as they look to clinch promotion in front of a sell-out Molineux.

Wolves have been top of the Championship since October and could be champions if results go their way.

But Sheffield United, Birmingham or Cardiff may still ruin or delay the promotion dream.

Blues travel to Watford for a tough-looking fixture, while United take the difficult trip to Burnley on Monday but Wolves' destiny is very much in their own hands.

Here we look at every scenario to the climax of the Championship promotion campaign: -

IF WOLVES WIN

Wolves will go up if they win. Three points for McCarthy's side will clinch promotion back to the Premier League. They would be 10 points clear of Sheffield United with the Blades having nine to play for.

With United not playing until Monday, they are powerless to alter proceedings. If Birmingham don't win at Watford, Wolves will be champions.

IF WOLVES DRAW

A point will be enough today if Birmingham lose and Cardiff fail to win at Preston. That would leave Sheffield United, who play Burnley on Monday, as the only side who could catch Wolves.

If Blues draw, Wolves would need Cardiff and United to both fail to win. But if both win, they could still finish a point above Wolves, meaning another victory would be needed to guarantee promotion and, consequently, the title.

Similarly, should Blues win, a point would only be good enough if both the Blades and the Bluebirds draw or lose.

IF WOLVES LOSE

If Wolves lose, they will not be up, even if Blues are beaten – but they would be promoted if Cardiff fail to win and Sheffield United lose at Burnley on Monday.

A Blades win at Turf Moor would put them four points behind Wolves, with six to play for, if Mick's men slip up.

If United draw, they would be six points behind McCarthy's side with two games to play, meaning the champagne would be on ice.

United's goal difference of plus 25 is just one behind Wolves' so they could still overhaul them.
