The EFL Championship relegation race is wide open

Sheffield Wednesday were the first team to be relegated in the EFL this season. The Owls currently sit 45 points below 23rd-place Leicester City, who are four points away from safety.

The Foxes are in the relegation zone with Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United, with the latter being one point away from safety. Portsmouth are 21st, West Brom are 20th, and Blackburn Rovers are 19th.

Charlton Athletic find themselves 18th, five points above the relegation zone. But West Brom, who are two points outside of the dropzone, could receive a point deduction due to alleged PSR breaches, according to @JPercyTelegraph on X. If the Baggies receive a points deduction, it could see them drop inside the bottom three, putting a threat to their bid to stay in the EFL Championship.

Portsmouth have played one game less than the teams around them, which will be crucial in their fight for survival. Pompey won thier most recent match, which was against Middlesbrough. Prior to the clash, Portsmouth had failed to win any of thier previous eight.

Leicester City, who won the Premier League in 2016, have failed to pick up a win in their last five. The Foxes faced Sheffield Wednesday in their last match, but the game finished 1-1. Had Leicester won, they would have been just two points off Pompey.

Bar Portsmouth, the other teams in and around the relegation zone have four more league games to play.

Across the Championship's form guide in the last 10 matches, Oxford United are sixth, while Leicester City and Portsmouth are 21st and 22nd. The U's have hit form at the best time to have the best chances of survival, and they have lost just one of their last eight, winning four.

21st-place Portsmouth hosts 23rd-place Leicester City on matchday 43, which will be a huge fixture in the relegation fight. this Saturday.

Who else do you think will be relegated to League One alongside Sheffield Wednesday this season?
