Swansea

Swansea

Saturday’s football game at the Den pits together Millwall and Swansea City, the two in-form sides. The Lions are three points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the capital club.

Coventry

Saturday’s football game at Kenilworth Road pits together Luton Town and Coventry City, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale.
