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:
21. 4th: Swansea City
Points total: 82. The Swans drop one place, despite having a number of 'easy' fixtures ahead of them against the likes of relegation candidates Birmingham City and Wycombe Wanderers. Photo: Nathan Stirk
22. 3rd: Brentford
Points total: 84. Last season's play-off final losers have to do it all again, after failing to close the gap on Watford. Bees fans will be fearful of a mass exodus of talent if they don't go up this year. Photo: George Wood
23. 2nd: Watford
Points total: 88. The Hornets stay strong and secure automatic promotion with a second place finish. The likes of Joao Pedro and Ismaila Sarr have had Championship defenders on toast this season. Photo: Naomi Baker
24. 1st: Norwich City
Points total: 97. No surprises here, then, as Daniel Farke's rampant Canaries soar to the title and bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Photo: Stephen Pond
