A look at the relegation permutations in the Championship

:Headline: A look at the relegation permutations in the Championship:
Derby are in pole position to avoid the drop, with Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday also in the mix and Wycombe requiring a minor miracle.
Sports Mole

Rotherham's goalless draw at mid-table Luton takes their survival hopes out of their hands ahead of the final round of Sky Bet Championship matches.

Victory on Tuesday night would have lifted the Millers out of the drop zone, above Derby on goal difference, but the draw leaves them battling alongside Sheffield Wednesday, with Wycombe needing a minor miracle to stay up.

Here, the PA news agency runs the rule over the four teams at risk of dropping down from English football's second tier.

Position: 21st

Points: 43

Goal difference: -22

Final fixture: Sheff Wed (home)

What do they need to do to survive? Victory would guarantee safety while a draw would be enough if Rotherham do not win at Cardiff, but defeat would send the Rams down as the Owls have a superior goal difference.

Rotherham

Position: 22nd

Points: 41

Goal difference: -16

Final fixture: Cardiff (away)

What do they need to do to survive? Win at Cardiff, and hope Derby do not beat Sheffield Wednesday.

Position: 24th

Points: 40

Goal difference: -33

Final fixture: Middlesbrough (away)

What do they need to do to survive? Win 13-0 and hope Wednesday win by one goal at Derby.
