The EFL is set for its most dramatic day of the year heading into Easter Monday, with the business end of the season ramping up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promotions, Play-Off spots, relegation, and survival are all on the line across the Championship, League One<\/a> and League Two<\/a> tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Leeds are on the brink of promotionCredit: Getty<\/p>\n

The sole remaining Premier League<\/a> fixture of Gameweek 33 will be exclusively live on talkSPORT, as Tottenham host Nottingham Forest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the EFL couldn’t provide a more thrilling build-up, with the three divisions below the top-flight staging a full bill of fixtures.<\/p>\n

Here is what can happen across each league.<\/p>\n

Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top-two in the division could seal their return to the Premier League with both Leeds and Burnley<\/a> in action.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a>‘s Championship leaders host Stoke City<\/a> on Monday afternoon, live and exclusive on talkSPORT 2.<\/p>\n

Victory for Leeds would put the club on the brink of promotion, but eyes at Elland Road will then instantly turn to Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

Burnley, currently in second on goal difference, play third-placed Sheffield United<\/a> in the evening kick-off, exclusively live on talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

Leeds will be promoted if the Blades fail to win, while a victory for the Clarets would also guarantee Scott Parker<\/a>‘s men a top-two finish.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Bristol City<\/a> can secure a play-off spot if they beat Luton and Middlesbrough<\/a> lose to Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No relegation places will be confirmed, with a wide-ranging battle going down to at least the penultimate gameweek next weekend.<\/p>\n\nClub<\/td>\nMP<\/td>\nWins<\/td>\nDraws<\/td>\nDefeats<\/td>\nGD<\/td>\nPTS<\/td>\nLast 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1.
