Swansea City's dreams of securing a place in the promotion playoffs mathematically came to an end last weekend when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Millwall at the Den.

Before that, the Swans were on a run of five consecutive victories, scoring eight goals and keeping four clean sheets since a 2-2 draw against Leeds United on March 29.

Swansea have picked up 60 points from their 45 Championship matches so far to sit 11th in the standings, six points off the top-six places heading into the season finale.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Nelson and Michal Helik scored on either side of the halftime break to inspire Oxford United to a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at the Kassam Stadium last time out.

Before that, Gary Rowett’s men were on a run of two consecutive home defeats, losing 3-1 against Queens Park Rangers on April 9, nine days before falling to a 1-0 loss against Leeds United.

Having gained promotion from League One last term, Oxford have preserved their Championship status this season as they sit 17th in the Championship table with 52 points from 45 games, four points above the relegation zone.
