Matches to kick-off at 12:30 BST on Saturday, 2 May.

Wrexham will finish sixth if they better or match the results of both Hull and Derby.

Hull will clinch sixth spot if they better Wrexham's result against Middlesbrough and better or match Derby's result against Sheffield United.

A win for the Tigers against Norwich City will be sufficient if Wrexham lose or draw with Middlesbrough, or even if the Welsh side win - as long as Hull overturn a one-goal deficit in the goal difference stakes.

As for Derby, they will finish sixth if they win against Sheffield United and both Wrexham and Hull fail to win their fixtures.

Due to their superior goal difference, a draw against the Blades will also be enough for the Rams to take sixth spot, as long as Wrexham and Hull both lose next weekend.
