    Automatic promotion, play-offs, relegation - tonight's results mean it is still all to play for!

    We return on Friday as Millwall aim to take back that automatic promotion spot against a newly relegated Leicester City side low on confidence.

    If they do, Ipswich will have the chance to take it back on Saturday but need to beat a resurgent West Bromwich Albion to do so.

    While at the other end of the table, Charlton hope to ensure their survival against a stumbling Hull City side searching for a return to the top six as Oxford attempt to not doom themselves against basement dwellers Sheffield Wednesday.

    This is the part of the season you just can't miss. See you then!

    Ipswich recovered from going behind inside the opening minute to beat Charlton and return to second place in the Championship.

    Boss Kierna McKenna has been speaking to Sky Sports:

    "It was a really good way for us to win as it's our first comeback victory away from home.

    "I know we wouldn't have found that response earlier in the season - it was a really good sign tonight as we had that big blow early on and earlier this season we went 1-0 down at home to Charlton and conceded three goals in 12 minutes.

    "I'd like to think nobody is thinking about the table when you concede so early but you know you've got to work hard to get a foothold in the game and I thought the players showed character and confidence in each other."

    Jaden Philogene scored the winning penalty for Ipswich to get them back up to second place and has told Sky Sports:

    "It's a big win for us, we still have three games to go but we have to get our heads down and keep winning.

    "We have a strong mentality as a group and we just have to get our heads down and play our football because we know we're a good team."

    Ipswich's fight back against Charlton places them back into the automatic promotion spots as Middlesbrough's less convincing win over basement club Sheffield Wednesday creates a six goal cushion from seventh placed Hull City.

    But it won't just be the Tractor Boys fans that will be pleased as punch with tonight's result at the Valley.

    Blackburn's decisive 3-1 win over Sheffield United means Rovers have escaped relegation but the Addicks' loss keep Oxford's dreams of survival alight - just.

    FT: Sheff Utd 1-3 Blackburn

    Rovers delivered a big performance when it mattered. Credit to Michael O'Neill and the team. A proper manager. Give him a long term contract and back him in the summer transfer window, if you don't want to be in trouble again.

    Ipswich move back into second place in the topsy-turvy race to join Coventry in the Premier League next season.

    They had to come from behind after Greg Docherty gave Charlton the lead after 42 seconds

    Darnell Furlong levelled before the break with his first goal for Ipswich.

    Jaden Philogene won it in the second period as he converted their 10th penalty of the season.

    Town move above Millwall on goal difference and have a game in hand, albeit at Southampton next Tuesday.

    Charlton still need one point from their remaining two games to secure their Championship status.

    Birmingham 2-1 Preston

    An improved second half from Preston but it's Birmingham who pick up the three points.

    Both sides had opportunities but it was Blues who came closest to a third after Carlos Vicente struck the post with a venomous strike.

    An even game overall and a result that lifts Birmingham into the top 10, three points above their 16th-placed opponents.

    Middlesbrough claim a much needed win for their first victory in seven games... just.

    Kim Hellberg's side had 18 shots at goal but only Morgan Whittaker's first-half effort to show for it.

    It was a performance won't leave much of an impression on their promotion rivals but a win is a win and at this point, that's enough, right?

    Blackburn Rovers secure their Championship status thanks to a devastating first-half performance.

    Yuki Ohashi scored twice with fellow Japanese player Ryoya Morishita also on the scoresheet, all in the first 45 minutes.

    Harrison Burrows got one back for the Blades in the second-half but the night belongs to Blackburn and their interim boss Michael O'Neill who wins his fifth league game in 14 attempts to complete a rescue mission.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Sheff Wed

    Gasps at the Riverside as the Sheffield Wednesday defender can't intercept a pass into Kaly Sene for a one-v-one with the keeper.

    The striker's second touch is too heavy though and allows Owls keeper Murphy Cooper to smother the ball as he races off his line.

    The stopper can't keep it in his grasps to allow another shot to come in from Jeremy Sarmiento but it's cleared off the line to prevent another goal.

    Just as seven added minutes are added to the clock too. Nail biting.
