Huddersfield

Preston welcome Huddersfield Town at Deepdale in a highly-anticipated Boxing Day clash. The Lilywhites have been impressive on the road of late, but they were beaten by both Millwall (2-4) and QPR (0-1) in the previous two home fixtures. All Robert Brady, Emil Riis Jakobsen, and Troy Parrott are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. ... Read More...

Wigan

Middlesbrough will look to move closer to the playoffs places when they take on Wigan Athletic in the Championship round 24.

West Bromwich

High-flying WBA will look to extend their winning run to six games when they take on Bristol City on Boxing Day. The Baggies made a slow start to the season, but they look unstoppable ahead of the trip to Bristol, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping.

Millwall

Vicarage Road will host a Boxing Day clash between Watford and Millwall, the two promotion-chasing teams. Watford are eyeing a top-two finish, while Millwall’s main goal is to make it to the playoffs. The Hornets did well to beat Huddersfield on the road on Matchday 23, with Joao Pedro scoring a brace, and, no doubt, the Brazil forward will make life difficult for the Lion... Read More...

Monday’s football game between Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United will bring down the curtain on day 23 of the new Championship campaign. The Latics aim to escape the danger zone, while the Blades are eager to stay in automatic promotion berth.

Luton Town play host to Millwall at their Kenilworth Road in the Championship round 23.
