Championship: Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Luton among teams in hunt for promotion to Premier League

The enthralling race for promotion from the Championship to the Premier League has entered its final weeks.

Current leaders Fulham secured their immediate return to the top flight with a 3-0 win over Preston on April 19, with second-placed Bournemouth trailing by nine points.

Huddersfield, Luton, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United occupy the remaining top-six places and up to five teams below them will still believe they can make the cut, too.
