EFL announce Championship, League One and League Two play-off dates

Colchester, in League Two, currently sit 10th and two points off the play-offs, and have 'ambitions' to secure a top 7 spot by the final match of the season against Yeovil (May 6th, 5.30pm).

The U's will be aiming to return to the third tier at the first attempt, following last season's relegation.

League One's Southend are currently seventh, just a point off 6th placed Millwall, and will also look to reach the play-offs.
