Luton Town and Middlesbrough square off against each other at Kenilworth Road in the closing match of round 44.

All eyes will be on The Hawthorns when West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland face each other in the Championship derby. The Baggies aim to build on back-to-back wins over Stoke and Blackpool, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.

Blackburn Rovers

Preston and Blackburn face each other at Deepdale in the closing match of Saturday’s program. The Lilywhites failed to impress in back-to-back losses at Millwall and Swansea, but they are on a three-game winning run on home soil ahead of the visit of Blackburn.

Millwall

Millwall

Saturday’s football game at the DW Stadium pits together Wigan Athletic and Millwall, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Latics recorded a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Stoke City on Tuesday evening, but that is unlikely to help them avoid relegation to League One. Nonetheless, the hope dies last, and we are positive that the rock-bottom side wil... Read More...

After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers, Norwich City will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Swansea City on Saturday afternoon. The Canaries failed to win the previous three league fixtures and this has to go down as a must-win game for David Wagner’s troops. Dimitrios Giannoulis limped off with injury in the midweek draw...

Hull City will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Middlesbrough when they take on Watford in the Championship round 44.

Newly-promoted Burnley will be aiming to put the icing on the cake on a very successful Championship season when they welcome Queens Park Rangers to their Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

Bristol City will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Watford and Sheffield United when they take on Rotherham United in the Championship round 44.
