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.

Middlesbrough

Select Car Leasing Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Reading and Middlesbrough, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Reading impressed in a 3-0 win over league leaders Blackburn, meaning that they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Boro.

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. It has to be noted that Burnley failed to turn their dominance into victory in a midweek draw with Hull City.
