Norwich

Norwich

A game between Luton Town and Norwich City will bring down the curtain on the Boxing Day program in the Championship. The Hatters do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous three league fixtures, and they face yet another difficult task against the promotion-chasing Canaries. To make things even worse for the home side, important defender ... Read More...

QPR

QPR

Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers take on each other at Cardiff City Stadium on day 24 on Boxing Day. The Bluebirds aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Hoops. It has to be noted, though, that Cardiff City failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Blackpool. Forward Isaak Davie ... Read More...

Sheffield United and Coventry City take on each other at Bramall Lane on day 24 of the new Championship campaign. The Blades are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the Boxing Day clash.

Stoke City

Aesseal New York Stadium will host Monday’s Championship game between Rotherham United and Stoke City. The Millers aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Potters. Defender Peter Kioso remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Meanwhile, the Pot ... Read More...

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...

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.

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 Lions ... Read More...
