You left out too much information for a helpful answer.
To start with, when did you separate? If after July 1, 2019 or in 2020, then you can only file 2019 as "married filing separately." You can't qualify for earned income credit. To qualify to claim the children as dependents, they must live with you more than half the year, AND live with you more nights of the year than your spouse. If the children lived more nights with you, then you probably qualify to claim them as dependents. If you are blocked because your spouse claimed them, file your return by mail. The IRS will investigate and ask for proof of which parent the children lived with longer. (If you only separated in 2020, then the children lived all 2019 with both parents, and the parent with the higher income gets to claim them for 2019.)
If you separated before July 1, 2019, then you might qualify to file as head of household, which would allow you to claim EIC as well as the dependent credit, but only if the children lived more than half the nights of the year in your home. If so, you would again file by mail, and expect the IRS to send a letter asking for proof of when you separated and where the children actually lived.
