Championship Battle: Promotion & Survival on the Line

0:00On March 7th, it's a huge day in the championship, with key matches shaking up both ends of the table. Hall City faces Millwall at lunchtime, where the Lions could climb to third, just one point behind second place Middlesbrough. The Tigers aim to jump into fourth with a win. Later, Coventry could stretch their lead at the top to eight points, while if switch hopes to break into automatic promotion spots by beating Lester. At 3 p.m., Greenwich mean time. Meanwhile, Blackburn hosts Port Smith in a relegation six-pointer after Oxford's 3-1 win over Preston last night lifted the use out of the bottom three on goal difference. Both Rovers and Poppy have slipped closer to danger, despite recent cushions, with each side winning two and losing two of their last four games. A victory here could push the winner's six or seven points clear of the drop zone. Team new shows Blackburn making two switches, bringing in Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Matthias Dorgensen, while Port Smith starts Conor Chaplin and Gustavo Caballero.

1:03Rovers take a hit with midfielder, Sandrae Tronstad, ruled out for the season after anterior cruciate ligament surgery from last week's game. Their boss called it the worst feared outcome. At the bottom, things are tighter than ever, putting pressure on sides like Blackburn and Port Smith, who were safer just weeks ago. Oxford grab back-to-back wins for the first time this season, scoring three after a frantic start against Preston. Eyes will be on these results as Spring brings the real tension, with promotion and survival on the line across eight games today.
