Where Sheffield Wednesday are expected to finish this season and on how many points – compared to Plymouth Argyle, Derby County and Ipswich Town

It’s been a long old road to this stage – and there’s still a long, long way to go.

Sheffield Wednesday jumped into the top of the division for the first time this season on Saturday, leapfrogging their fellow promotion pace-setters Plymouth Argyle in the process.

It’s been a manic four-month unbeaten stint from the Owls to get here and with Ipswich faltering and Derby jumping into the equation, there’ll be no let-up as all four going about vying for their own place in the Championship next season.

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