Middlesbrough

Wigan and Middlesbrough square off against each other at DW Stadium on day 16 of the new Championship campaign. The Latics have been anything but impressive of late, with the team losing three of their last four league fixtures. Wigan are eager to recover from a 2-1 loss to Sunderland, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Callum Lang ... Read More...

Cardiff

Loftus Road will host Wednesday’s Championship game between Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Hoops aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Luton Town, and a win over Cardiff could see them climb to automatic promotion places.

Sheffield United

Coventry City and Sheffield United, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the 2022/2023 Championship campaign, face each other at Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday evening. The Sky Blues are determined to secure yet another Championship survival, but they head into the midweek clash as the rock-bottom side. Liam Kelly is a major doubt, while Callum OH... Read More...

Hull City

Bloomfield Road will host Wednesday’s football game between Blackpool and Hull City, the two bottom-table sides. The Tigers do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing four of their last five league fixtures, and their display in a 2-0 loss to Birmingham City is not giving fans a reason for optimism.

Bristol City

Following a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Reading, West Bromwich Albion will look to escape the danger zone when they face Bristol City on Matchday 16. The Baggies recorded their only second win of the season at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they do not want to stop now.

Rotherham

Stoke City play host to Rotherham United at their Bet365 Stadium on day 16 of the new Championship campaign. The Potters are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and they are surely capable of matching the Millers on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Jacob Brown, Gavin Kilkenny, and Harry Souttar remain in the treatment room.

Ewood Park will host Tuesday’s Championship game between Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland, the two promotion-chasing sides.

Norwich City will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Preston and Watford when they face Luton Town on Matchday 16.
