Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and other Championship play-off winners’ records in comparison to Burnley’s current one
In the regular season, how many points have the last ten Championship play-off champions claimed?
When Burnley hosts Sheffield Wednesday at Turf Moor on Friday, they want to strengthen their bid for automatic promotion into the Premier League.
The Championship’s top two teams are currently five points ahead of Scott Parker’s team, who will be closely watching Monday night’s match between second-place Sheffield United and leaders Leeds United at Bramall Lane. Burnley will face a tough test on Friday when they play the Owls at home. Their visitors are very much in the running for a play-off berth, and if they can finish first, they can tie sixth-place West Bromwich Albion on points.
Of course, Burnley will hope to claim automatic promotion and avoid the lottery of the play-offs – but how does the Clarets current record compare to the last 10 Championship play-off winners?
