Watford

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...

All eyes will be on Turf Moor when Burnley and Blackpool square off against each other in the Championship round 5. The Clarets have yet to find their best form in the new 2022/2023 season, but they are still seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash.

Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town, Norwich City will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Millwall to their Carrow Road on Friday. The Canaries recorded their first win of the season on Tuesday evening, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to return to the Premier L...

Middlesbrough

Bet365 Stadium will host Wednesday’s football match between Stoke City and Middlesbrough, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship table.
