Cardiff

Sunday’s football game between Bristol City and Cardiff City will bring down the curtain on day 5 of the new Championship campaign.

Hull City

After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Cardiff City, WBA will look to register their first win of the season when they host Hull City to their Hawthorns on Saturday. The Baggies have yet to find their best form, but this game could be the turning point for Steve Bruce’s troops.

Sunderland

Stoke City and Sunderland face each other at Bet365 Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Potters showed character in a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough, with substitute D’Margio Wright-Phillips’ scoring a late equalizer in the midweek clash.

Blackburn Rovers

Top position in the Championship standings will be at stake when Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers go head to head at Bramall Lane on Saturday. The Blades did well to beat ten-man Sunderland 2-1 on Wednesday evening, with the team climbing to 4th position, but they do not want to stop now.

Watford

Preston play host to Watford at their Deepdale in what is expected to be a close Championship game. The Lilywhites have been impressive at the back in the new season, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive clean sheet of the process. Since the hosts are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Watford, a low-scoring affair is on the cards. Both Bambo Diaby an... Read More...
