The Championship weekend starts today

Last updated : 10 April 2009 By Michael Morris

City are at Crystal Palace tomorrow and then at home to Burnley on Monday. By 5pm Monday afternoon we should have a good idea about just what we are likely to achieve this season. Two wins would virtually cement a play off place and most likely keep an automatic promotion hope alive. Of course it depends on other results as well. There's a big game this afternoon when Reading face Sheffield Utd. I think a draw would best suit us.

Here are the fixtures for today and tomorrow.
