Beevers said: “We know this promotion race will probably go down to the final day.
“I hope not obviously, but there is every chance that it will do.
“We just have to focus on ourselves and look after our own games. There will be plenty more twists and turns to come I am sure.”
It’s looking like a three-horse race for two automatic promotion places between current 1,2,3 Hull, Posh and Sunderland, but in-form Portsmouth and Blackpool are ready to pounce on any slip-ups.
Hull are two three points clear of Posh with a superior goal difference of 7. Posh have a game in hand. Sunderland are two points behind Posh with a superior goal difference of 1. They have one game in hand on Posh and two games in hand on Hull.
Portsmouth are fourth, seven points behind Sunderland from the same number of matches played. Blackpool are fifth, a further point back, with an extra game in hand.
The PT has analysed the strengths and weaknesses of the top three, while also looking at the matches and players that could make the difference between Championship football and the League One play-offs.

Four of the last six League One matches for Posh take place at the Weston Homes Stadium which is huge given the disparity between the team’s home and away form. Posh have picked up 45 points from 19 matches at London Road, six more than any other team in the division. Sunderland and Hull both have an equal number of home and away matches to play and both have been impressive on their travels. They have the best two away records in the division. Sunderland have lost just once on the road. Mo Eisa is pictured celebrating a goal in a 7-0 Posh home win over Accrington.

If there is to be late challenger to the current top three it’s likely to be Portsmouth rather than Blackpol. Pompey have won four games on the spin under new boss Danny Cowley (pictured with Grant McCann). They are still nine points behind Posh with a game in hand, but they have the friendliest run in v Burton (h), Crewe (a), MK Dons (a), Swindon (a), Bristol Rovers (h), Accrington (a), Wimbledon (a) and Accrington (h).
