Blues knew a win would guarantee promotion, even if rivals Wycombe won at Huddersfield, which they did.

Birmingham are now just two points from becoming champions, but could have their name on the trophy without playing another league game.

That is because they play in the final of the EFL Trophy against tonight’s opponents Peterborough at Wembley on Sunday.

If Wrexham fail to win at Wigan Birmingham will be crowned champions, with the promotion winners still capable of reaching an astonishing 113 points.
