Championship Preview: Birmingham face drop

Lee Clark's side occupy the last relegation spot in the second tier of English football and must avoid defeat at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday to have any chance of staying up.

After slumping to five straight league defeats, Birmingham will have to rise to the occasion when it matters most and the Midlands outfit may be glad of an away fixture, having only won twice at St Andrews this season in the league.

"Yes (we can avoid relegation), definitely, because our away form has been very good," he said. "It's imperative we get a result on Saturday."

Paul Dickov takes his Doncaster Rovers side to his former club Leicester City knowing a defeat will send them down if Birmingham secure at least a point, as Clark's men have a better goal difference.

Leicester already have the title wrapped up, but Nigel Pearson's men can still reach 100 points and will be eager to sign off in style at the King Power Stadium and possibly send Rovers straight back down to the third tier.

Millwall are two points better off than Birmingham with a vastly inferior goal difference, but three points at home to Bournemouth will ensure Ian Holloway's side are safe, while a draw would be enough for Blackpool at home to Charlton Athletic - who secured their Championship status by beating Watford 3-1 on Tuesday.

Waiting to pounce on any Reading slip-up are seventh-placed Brighton and Hove Albion, with Oscar Garcia's men - who are a point behind Nigel Adkins' side - aiming to extend their season by beating Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Steve McClaren's Derby look to maintain their momentum for the play-offs against Leeds United at Elland Road, and will be confident of doing so having won their last 10 games against the Yorkshire club.
