Promotions and relegations so far in this years Football league! #LiveSportTalks

It is now the business end of the Football League season, with some teams dreaming of promotion, while others suffering the relegation nightmare as well as sweating over playoff postions. Let's have a look at what could happen today!

Brighton and Hove Albion could confirm their place in the Premier League for the first time in their history today. They need to win against relegation threatened Wigan at home and better the Huddersfield result, who take on Derby County. Currently the relegation threat goes all the way up to Ipswich or sit in 15th place, however if they better Blackburn's result than they are safe. It is a 5 horse race for the 4 playoff places as well, with none of the teams officially confirming their places yet. As ever, it is set to be an interesting end to the Championship season so stay tuned!

Sheffield United have secured the League 1 title with an impressive 91 points from 43 games. Any team from 2nd to 5th could still technically get automatic promotion, but it looks like Bolton, Fleetwood and Bradford will be getting that space with Bolton leading that pack with a 4 point cushion over 3rd place Fleetwood. Like the Championship, mathematically any team from 15th below could get relegated. Coventry had their relegation confirmed with a home draw to Charlton on Good Friday, Charlton would be 100% safe with a win at home to Gillingham today. Chesterfield could be as good as down if they fail to win and Port Vale win their game in hand.

Doncaster have secured their return to League 1 with automatic promotion confirmed, they could be in touching distance of the title if they win and Plymouth lose. Plymouth can secure promotion with a win today regardless of results around them. Portsmouth could also secure promotion if they win against Notts County and 4th place Luton fail to win. Anyone from 14th place Grimsby could mathematically make it into the playoffs in a tight battle. At the other end, Leyton Orient could have relegation confirmed if they fail to beat Hartlepool. Others in that mix include Newport County, Cheltenham and Yeovil Town.

It is GOLD for Elinor Barker in the points race and Katie Archibald wins GOLD too! #LiveSportTalks

It was another memorable night for Elinor Barker, after she won GOLD in the points race at the World Championships in Hong Kong. It was Barker's 3 medal of the Championships, after she won 2 Silvers last week in the Madison and Scratch races. Katie Archibald set the standard on Good Friday, after she won Gold in the Omnium race. That is 5 medals in total, with Chris Latham winning Bronze in the Men's scratch. Barker, who has a Gold Olympic medal and 2 Golds in the team pursuits in the World Championships in 2013 and 2014 has made a great transition to individual races.

Well done to all of the Team GB participants at the Championships in Hong Kong!

It is SILVER for Elinor Barker in the World Championships in Hong Kong

Olympic Gold medalist Elinor Barker took Silver last night in the scratch race in the World Championships in Hong Kong. Baker was edged out by Italian Rachele Barbieri in a thrilling sprint in the 40 lap race.

Barker, who admitted that her start probably cost her the race was disappointed not to win the race, but did congratulate the winner Barbieri.

Tomorrow night sees the men's relay team, which consists of Chris Latham, Andy Tennant, Mark Stewart and Ollie Wood will compete against the Italian team for the Bronze medal.

It was a disappointing loss for the men's team sprint, as they missed out on a medal winning race. Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens and Joe Truman missed out by 200 hundreds of a second!
