Are you holding on to your seat?
There are no fates to be fully decided this afternoon in the Championship after last night's promotion celebrations for Coventry City, but if you think you're not in for a wild ride - think again!
The show opens up with Leicester City visiting Fratton Park in a relegation battle that could push the Foxes to the brink of relegation to League One, while Millwall will try to climb into the top two at home to QPR.
And that's just for starters...
Build-up coming your way.
