I got bored:

Leicester:
Barnsley (a) - CLASH
Sheff Wed (h) - CLASH
Stoke (a)

Coventry:
Colchester (a)
Wolves (h)
Charlton (a)

Sheff Wed:
Blackpool (a) - CLASH
Leicester (a) - CLASH
Norwich (h) - CLASH

Southampton:
Burnley (h)
West Brom (a)
Sheff Utd (h)

Blackpool:
Sheff Wed (h) - CLASH
Plymouth (a)
Watford (h)

Barnsley:
Leicester (h) - CLASH
Charlton (h)
Cardiff (a)

Norwich:
West Brom (h)
QPR (h)
Sheff Wed (a) - CLASH

So there are four bottom-of-the-table clashes:

Leicester vs. Barnsley
Blackpool vs. Sheff Wed
Leicester vs. Sheff Wed
Sheff Wed vs. Norwich

Southampton and Coventry's games are against teams not involved in the relegation mix, so their results do not effect how many points the other teams will be playing for.

Each of these games have 3 possible outcomes:

Home Win
Away Win
Draw

So there are 12 possible outcomes -

Leicester vs. Barnsley:
Leicester +3
Barnsley +3
Leicester +1 & Barnsley +1

Blackpool vs. Sheff Wed:
Blackpool +3
Sheff Wed +3
Blackpool +1 & Sheff Wed +1

Leicester vs. Sheff Wed:
Leicester +3
Sheff Wed +3
Leicester +1 & Sheff Wed +1

Sheff Wed vs. Norwich:
Sheff Wed +3
Norwich +3
Sheff Wed +1 & Norwich +1

So...

Sheff Wed gain 9 points, all of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 0 points meaning they can earn 6 points in the run in
Sheff Wed gain 7 points, one of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gains 1 point, the rest earn 0 (one can get 7 points, the rest 6)
Sheff Wed gain 6 points, one of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 3 points, the rest earn 0 (one can get 9 points, the rest 6)
Sheff Wed gain 5 points, two of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 1 point each, the other earns 0 (two can get 7 points, the other 6)
Sheff Wed gain 4 points, one of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 3 points, one earns 1 point, the other earns 0 (one can earn 9, one 7, one 6)
Sheff Wed gain 3 points, either all of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 1 point, or one earns 3 points while the others earn 0 (either 9 points for one team, 6 the rest, or 7 points all round)
Sheff Wed gain 2 points, two of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 1 point each, and the other earns 3 (two can earn 7 points, the other 9)
Sheff Wed gain 1 point, two of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 3 points each, and the other earns 1 (two can earn 9 points, the other 7)
Sheff Wed gain 0 points, all of Blackpool, Leicester and Norwich gain 3 points each. (all can earn 9 points)
Leicester vs. Barnsley ends in a draw, they each gain one point (both can gain 7 points in the run in)
Leicester vs. Barnsley ends in a win for either (one can gain 9, the other 6)

Was it all worth it? Probably not.
