High-flying Barnsley have given themselves an excellent chance of securing a top-six finish, and it will be fascinating to see whether Valerin Ismael's side can keep up their fine form and secure a play-off place. Here's how the latest data algorithm (via FiveThirtyEight) has predicted the final Championship table will look at the end of the season:
17. 8th: Cardiff City
Points total: 71. Mick McCarthy's instant impact has given the Bluebirds a fighting chance of making the play-offs, but the Supercomputer crunched the numbers and determined that promotion isn't on the cards this season. Photo: Gareth Copley
18. 7th: Reading
Points total: 72. Heartbreak for Reading! They miss out on the play-offs by just one point, which is rather rotten luck. Lucas Joao has been on fire for them this season, scoring 18 goals and making seven assists. Photo: Catherine Ivill
19. 6th: Bournemouth
Points total: 73. The Cherries scrape into the top six, and in doing so pick up the final play-off spot. They've rallied well despite losing some key players last summer, and will be hopeful of getting back to the top tier. Photo: Naomi Baker
20. 5th: Barnsley
Points total: 76. Well now, this is quite something. Valerien Ismael's exciting side have been on fire recently, and the data boffins think they'll keep up their momentum and secure a play-off place. Photo: George Wood
