There are still nearly two months of the season remaining, but there are promotion and relegation issues that could be decided this weekend.

And there's also the prospect of Celtic being crowned champions of the Scottish Premiership for the sixth year in a row.

Here are all the issues that could be decided as domestic leagues resume after the international break...

Premier League

There's still plenty to play for in the Premier League, although Chelsea could extend their lead at the top to 13 points if they beat Crystal Palace and other results go their way.

Live Premier League

There could be twists and turns in the top-four battle as Liverpool host Everton and Arsenal face Manchester City, both live on Sky Sports.

At the bottom, Sunderland are seven points from safety and could slip further towards the Championship if they fail to win at Watford on Saturday.

Swansea and Middlesbrough are both in the bottom four ahead of their meeting on Sky Sports on Sunday.

Championship

Newcastle and Brighton can cement their places in the automatic promotion positions as they host Wigan and Blackburn, who are both in the bottom three, respectively.

While Wigan and Blackburn are still in with a shot at survival, Rotherham's relegation to League One could be confirmed this weekend.

Rotherham lost 5-1 to QPR in their last game

The Millers will be relegated if they fail to win their home match against Fulham, regardless of results elsewhere.

League One

Leaders Sheffield United are not in action this weekend, but second-placed Bolton could boost their chances of automatic promotion as they host Chesterfield.

The Spireites are second from bottom and look to be slipping towards relegation along with Coventry, who are 11 points from safety with six games to play.

League Two

Doncaster could be promoted on Saturday if they win at Grimsby and Stevenage lose at home to Barnet.

If Stevenage fail to win, then second-placed Plymouth could close on promotion as well with a win against Accrington Stanley.

Leyton Orient and Newport are in the two relegation places but both are still in with a chance of staying up.

Newport are six points from safety and Orient are just a point further back.

Scottish Premiership

Celtic need one more win to secure the title for the sixth year in a row.

Brendan Rodgers' side travel to Hearts on Saturday, but could already be confirmed as champions if Aberdeen lose at Dundee on Friday.

"I don't mind where we win it. I don't mind if it's the day before when Aberdeen play. We want to win it at the earliest possible opportunity," said Celtic keeper Craig Gordon.

"We have put ourselves in a great place to do that already at this stage of the season. It makes no difference where we win it, we just want to get it done as soon as possible and we can concentrate on trying to add the Scottish Cup to it."

Scottish Championship

Hibernian remain 10 points clear at the top with six games remaining after their 0-0 draw with Greenock Morton, who moved above Falkirk into second with a game in hand.

It leaves Neil Lennon's side 12 points from guaranteeing the title and from securing promotion to the Scottish Premiership.
