As the season draws to a close in the Premier League, League One and League Two, there are still numerous questions waiting to be answered.

Who will cement their places in the Champions League next season? Who will make the League One play-offs? Who will be promoted automatically along with Northampton from League Two?

We analyse title run-ins, the battles for promotion, the race to claim a spot in the play-offs and relegation dogfights...

Premier League title

Tottenham's draw with Chelsea on Monday Night Football handed the Premier League title to Leicester. The Foxes will receive the trophy at home against Everton, live on Saturday Night Football from 5pm on Sky Sports 1 HD.

Spurs need four points from their remaining two games to guarantee second spot, but could still be caught by both Arsenal and Manchester City, who are looking to cement their seats at the Champions League table next season. City host the Gunners on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 3.30pm.

Manchester United and West Ham could still sneak into the top four. United trail Manchester City by four points and West Ham are five points behind - and both have a game in hand. Louis van Gaal takes his team to face the Hammers in the final game at Upton Park on Tuesday night, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pm.

Aston Villa are already relegated and two from Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich are set to join them.

League One automatic promotion

Wigan sealed an automatic return to the Sky Bet Championship with a 4-0 victory over Blackpool, with Burton looking the favourites to join them in the second tier.

Heading into the last round of fixtures at lunchtime on Sunday, Burton are three points ahead of Walsall and have a plus-three superior goal difference. Burton are at Doncaster - watch live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 12.15pm - while Walsall go to Port Vale.

League One play-offs

Millwall and Bradford have secured their top-six spots, but there is a three-horse race between Barnsley, Scunthorpe and Gillingham for the final play-off spot.

Barnsley go to Wigan on the final day of the season on Sunday, while Scunthorpe, level with Barnsley on 71 points, go to Sheffield United.

Gillingham, two points behind the pair, host Millwall on the final day, but have a better goal difference than the two sides above them.

League One relegation

Doncaster and Blackpool are teetering on the edge of relegation along with Colchester and Crewe and both will need a win - and hope the other loses - to have a chance of catching Fleetwood in the safety of 20th place.

But Fleetwood do not require a victory to ensure their survival as they have a far superior goal difference and would need a 10-goal swing to go against them if they are to be relegated.

The final fixtures see Doncaster host Burton in that aforementioned live Sky Sports clash, Blackpool go to Peterborough and Fleetwood entertain Crewe.

League Two promotion

With just a game remaining, there are still three teams who could claim an automatic promotion place alongside Northampton Town, who have already won the title.

With the top three going up from League Two, Accrington are second on 84 points before hosting Stevenage on the final day on Saturday; Oxford United are third on 83 points before hosting Wycombe, and Bristol Rovers are third on 82 points as they host Dagenham and Redbridge.

Bristol Rovers are at least guaranteed a play-off spot, alongside Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle and Wimbledon.
