Pilgrims and Blues go for title

By John Lyons

On coronation weekend, Plymouth and Ipswich are desperate to round off brilliant seasons with the League One crown.

Argyle head into today’s noon showdown at Port Vale with a one-point lead over the Tractor Boys, who visit Fleetwood. Remarkably, both promoted sides could break the 100-point barrier as they hunt down the title.

Plymouth midfielder Matt Butcher told The FLP: “It’s another massive achievement to go for. If we can do it, it would round off an unbelievable season.”

Ipswich defender Luke Woolfenden said: “The title is in everyone’s thoughts and we really want to win it, although we know it’s not in our hands and we’ll have to rely on another result.”

While the League One regular season finishes today, the Championship and League Two wrap up tomorrow.

EFL clubs are set to mark the coronation of King Charles III at matches today and tomorrow, ranging from the playing of the national anthem to use of digital assets.
