It’s the final countdown, and we will be previewing all the matches as the EFL regular season reaches a thrilling finale in this Sunday’s FLP, the last edition of the season.

Meanwhile we have a series of interviews as midfielder Matt Butcher looks forward to next season’s Championship challenge with promoted Plymouth, while defender Luke Woolfenden Ipswich‘s surge to promotion, also from League One.

Steve Evans reflects on Stevenage‘s promotion – and explains why he ducked out of the celebrations, while Burton boss Dino Maamria explains how he turned the Brewers‘ fortunes around this term.
