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.

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...
