Six games remain until the end of his regular season of the Championship and the battle for direct promotion has heated up for good.
You see, three teams are vying for the two tickets that send you without playoffs to the Premier League, with the Ipswich to currently occupy the top with 87 points.
It follows only at -1 h Leedswhile still one step below is the Leicesterwhich of course has one match less.
The fourth has two games less Southamptonwho, however, has remained at -11 from the top three, so he will be comfortable with participating in the playoffs.
1. Ipswich: P40: 87
2. Leeds: P40: 86
3. Leicester: P39: 85Championship race for automatic promotion. One of Ipswich, Leeds or Leicester will miss out with a likely record total.
Highest points tally not to go up automatically is currently Sunderland in 1997/98, who got 90.?? pic.twitter.com/ENFAfkJX5d

Somehow, everything seems to break it Sunderland’s worst record since the 1997/98 seasonwhen they had become the team with the most points not to gain direct promotion – finishing on 90, -1 behind second-placed Middlesbrough, before missing out on the playoffs…
It is recalled that “peacocks”, “foxes” and “saints” are the three clubs that were relegated from last year’s Premier League.
It should be noted, finally, that the derbies between the three leaders have been completed, therefore they will not meet again until the 46th and last matchday.
