League One News
The top two clubs earn automatic promotion from League One, and Leicester City will almost certainly be one of them, especially after their 1-0 win against Millwall today. Steve Howard scored the only goal of the match as Leicester are on pace to bounce straight back up to the Championship after suffering relegation last season. MK Dons have a great chance to overtake Petersborough for the second automatic spot because they have played three fewer games to date. Every club from Millwall in fourth to Colchester in 11th still have a shot a making the playoffs.

 

League One - Top of the Table
1 Leicester 81
2 Peterborough 72
3 MK Dons 67
4 Millwall 64
5 Leeds United 62
6 Tranmere 59
7 Scunthorpe 58
8 Oldham 58
9 Stockport 56
10 Southend 55
11 Colchester 53

 

Four clubs are relegated from League One, and Cheltenham will almost certainly be one of them. It doesn't look good for Hereford either.

 

League One - Bottom of the Table
19 Northampton 38
20 Yeovil 38
21 Swindon 35
22 Brighton 35
23 Hereford 30

League Two News
With fewer than 10 matches to go, it looks like Brentford will earn promotion to League One, especially after their 3-3 draw against Wycombe today. Sam Williams scored a late goal for the Bees to keep them 7 points ahead of second place Wycombe. There are three automatic promotion places in League Two, so Wycombe will battle it out with Rochdale, Bury, Exeter, and Gillingham for the final two automatic promotion spots. Four other clubs (see below) are still in contention for the playoffs, but it's looking less likely for Dagenham and Redbridge and Morecambe.

 

League Two - Top of the Table
1 Brentford 70
2 Wycombe 63
3 Rochdale 61
4 Bury 61
5 Exeter 61
6 Gillingham 61
7 Shrewsbury 58
8 Bradford 58
9 Dag & Red 53
10 Morecambe 51

 

At the other end of the table, Luton Town are almost certainly relegated, especially after their loss to Aldershot today. It is a cruel fate for the club who were hit with an extremely harsh -30 point penalty to start the season. Either Chester or Grimsby Town will most likely join Luton in relegation.

 

League Two: bottom of the table
22 Chester 28
23 Grimsby 27
24 Luton 13
