Promotion and relegation tie every rung of that ladder together, which is why a result here matters whatever the level. Below: form, the head-to-head, and the goals, before any odds enter the picture.

Worth reading alongside the form rather than on their own — English sides can carry very different records home and away, and a goals column only tells half that story.
