Reading

Ashton Gate Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Bristol City and Reading, the two mid-table teams.

Blackburn Rovers

Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers go head to head at St. Andrew’s Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Blues aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.

Sunderland

All eyes will be on Turf Moor when Burnley and Sunderland face each other in the Championship derby on Friday evening. The Clarets did well to beat Hull City 3-1 before the international break, with the team moving one step closer to securing automatic promotion, but boss Vincent Kompany must warn his men against complacency.

Luton

Sunderland play host to Luton at their Stadium of Light in the Championship round 38. The Black Cats suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league matches, and, as a result, they have slim playoffs chances. The hope, though, dies last, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Hatters. The likes of Amad Diallo, Dennis Cirkin,... Read More...
