What was promised to be a straight shootout for sixth spot merely a few weeks ago has become something of a formality, as Fulham and Sheffield Wednesday fans appear to have the stage set for just one big playoff party game on Sunday at noon.

A point at home at Brentford appeared to be good enough as Fulham all but booked their spot in the playoffs for this year, although the penalty curse struck again at Craven Cottage.

Fulham's midfield trio of Kevin McDonald, Stefan Johansen and Tom Cairney, as we’ve pointed out time and time again, are the basis from which the Whites’ success this season has sprung.

Fulham mauled Huddersfield Town on their own patch at the weekend as the Whites came from behind to give themselves a huge boost in the playoff race and take the aggregate score against the Terriers to 9-1 for the season.
