RORY MCARDLE expects this season's race for the Championship to go 'right down to the wire'.

Bradford City are one of half- a-dozen clubs behind runaway leaders Sheffield United separated by just 10 points.

Fleetwood Town, on the back of an 18-game unbeaten run, occupy the second automatic promotion slot but Uwe Rosler’s men face a tough task today against fourth-placed Bolton Wanderers.

Scunthorpe United, on a shocking run of form, are the other side above Bradford in the table, while Millwall and Southend United sit either side of the line that separates the play-off places from the chasing pack.

“League One is a tight league,” said McArdle ahead of City’s visit to rock-bottom Coventry City.
