Aaron Ramsey's Welsh revolution has to kick-start here to give Cardiff any chance of survival in the Championship. The good news is that the team they are playing have been all at sea recently, so much so that they have also decided to make a change in the dugout, with Tony Mowbray's second spell as manager lasting only a few months.

West Brom were their own worst enemies on Monday, getting themselves two down early on by failing to defend corners well. It seems as though some attention to detail could have been lacking, and now, with no chance of play-offs, there is a distinct motivation advantage to the Bluebirds in this one.

Cardiff were actually unlucky not to take all three points against Oxford. There was a lot in that display to give them encouragement and confidence ahead of this one. There is goals in Yousef Salech, and enough quality to provide the chances for him as well.

Taking the draw out as a void gives us a little safety net as well, Cardiff know that only a win has a chance of putting the relegation battle in their own hands for the final day next week.

This is another example of a relegation-threatened team needing something from a match against a team who already know their fate.

It has been a quirk of this Championship season that the play-off chasers and the relegation-threatened teams have relatively little between them in terms of points won, and, given the level of form being displayed at both ends of the table, there is so little between the teams. This is why motivation and league circumstance have the potential to have such an effect this season, with such a narrow quality gap between 4th and 24th.

Oxford weren't good against Cardiff on Monday, but Cameron Brannagan still demonstrated outstanding quality to produce a piece of magic for a goal. Obviously this is unsustainable, but there are only a couple of matches left in the season, so sustainability isn't necessarily required.

Sunderland massively rotated their XI against Blackburn on Monday. Clearly, Le Bris is taking a rather pragmatic approach to preparing for the play-offs. This rotated team still had strength, but gave Blackburn a chance, which they took. The results simply aren't as important for Sunderland now, it is about preparation for play-offs, and if you aren't a believer in momentum, then it matters more to have a fit and firing squad for the important matches to come.

A draw would probably still be a decent result for Oxford, it would, at least, put things in their own hands on the final day, so having that result onside makes sense here.

If ever there was a game on the League One card this weekend that effectively ‘means nothing’, then this is it. Mid-table Barnsley entertain an already relegated Shrewsbury, with both sides merely playing for pride. However, what could add a degree of competitiveness to this contest is the fact they both clubs recently appointed a new manager. Some players will have contracts to play for, as well as the chance to earn spots in next season’s team. Man-for-man, there’s no doubting The Tykes are the stronger of the two teams and recent form suggests the hosts could and should enjoy a profitable afternoon in front of goal.

On one hand, a return of one victory in nine is terrible reading for the Oakwell club. However, boss Conor Hourihane is clearly trying to build an indent of being an entertaining team to watch. It is leading to some defensive shortcomings, but their impact in attack is improving since the start of that poor run of results. The team are on an eight-game scoring run, which includes netting two or more goals in three of their last four. They came against the likes of champions Birmingham and top-half sides in Leyton Orient and Bolton.

Basic and elementary mistakes played a huge part in Shrewsbury suffering 4-1 away loss to Northampton on Monday. This being a Northampton team only mathematically securing their safety in the process, so they’re no big hitters at this level. Manager Michael Appleton was most unhappy with how things panned out, even hinting at some players lacking in commitment. They reflect a team that just wants the season to end. Salop will end the campaign in 24th position no matter what. Their winless run stands at 15 and they’ve conceded two or more goals in six of their previous 11.

Stockport can still officially make the top two, but they’d need to win both games and hope for something speculator in return from elsewhere. Therefore, they are realistically trying to finish as high as possible in the play-offs. Will they really be something the players are desperate for? Maybe, but ensuring they are fit for the play-offs could take greater importance. That will ultimately be reflected in Dave Challinor’s starting line-up here. Also, this is a strong team defensively, however it’d be no shock to see them just switch off that little bit more knowing bigger things are to come. Still, they’ve gone three games since a clean sheet, conceding in five of their previous seven.

County face a Lincoln side with nothing to play for, but their boss Michael Skubala has praised them for their competitiveness in recent times despite this. The Imps are now five unbeaten, with all of those contests officially being against teams needing points for one reason or another. Since the beginning of last month, they’ve scored four or more on three occasions, so they certainly know where the back of the net is at present. A strong case can often be made for goals when a team possesses an in-form striker in their side. City have exactly that in the form of James Collins, who has returned five goals from his last four appearances.

Interestingly, based upon the last 15 game form guide in League One, only top of the table Birmingham have recorded more goals than Lincoln. When you consider this is a team with effectively nothing but pride to play for, this shows they are producing the kind of performances reflective of a team with no pressure, happy to let the shackles off.

Like so many teams at the top of League Two over the weekend, Chesterfield fumbled their opportunity to parachute themselves further into the play-off mix, but they remain in the hunt, with three points and three teams between The Spireites and 7th place.

They couldn’t ask for a better final two games, at home to already relegated Morecambe and away to likely to be safe by then Accrington Stanley, but they have to win this game against Morecambe to stand any chance you feel. The visitors have lost four games on the bounce, only scoring two goals in the process. Three of those game were against sides of a similar standard to Chesterfield in Salford, Bromley and Grimsby.

Chesterfield have beaten Newport, Carlisle and Tranmere at home this season, teams of a similar position in the table to Morecambe, and thumped this opponent 5-2 away from home. Take the hosts to win here.

Neither of these two sides have played well of late, with this being the battle of 21st v 23rd in the form table over the last five games.

Over the course of the season, Fleetwood have been hard to beat at home, only losing four of 22 games on home soil. The problem has come in converting draws to wins, with 12 shared points being the highest home tally in League Two. They have been a tad unlucky, out-shooting their last seven opponents at home but failing to convert chances.

Newport County are the leagues worst side away from home, picking up just 14 points from 22 games. Fotmob’s xG table also has them as the worst side in the league, so they can perhaps count themselves a little fortunate to already be safe from relegation. They have won just once in their last 10 games, and are likely to be one of the favourites for relegation next season. They'll do well to take anything from this.
