Title chances and how many points Sheffield Wednesday are forecast to achieve - compared with Plymouth Argyle, Derby County and Ipswich Town in pictures

It’s been a long and brutal season - and there’s no sense things will ease up any time soon.

Sheffield Wednesday are the team with the power when it comes to the League One title stakes - top of the table with games in hand on their closest rivals.

But injuries have crept back in and they have a very difficult battle with Barnsley to contend with on Tuesday. With the Tykes one of several sides to have shown excellent form in recent weeks, absolutely nothing is guaranteed.

So who will go up? What about the play-offs? Who looks most likely for relegation?

The number crunchers and statistics experts at FiveThirtyEight have taken into account the quality of each squad, form guides and remaining fixtures to draw up their recmmendations on who will finish where on what number of points.

And it’s tight in several areas of the table - with a handful of spots separated by goal difference.
