Charlton will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they welcome Millwall to The Valley on Saturday afternoon.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United

Ipswich Town and Sheffield United face each other at Portman Road in the opening match of the Championship round 5.

Southampton

Watford play host to Southampton at their Vicarage Road in a highly-anticipated Championship game on Saturday afternoon. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for Watford, with the team losing to Charlton, beating QPR, while sharing the spoils with Swansea.

Swansea

Swansea

Legendary Hillsborough stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City. The Owls did well to shock Premier League side Leeds United in the EFL Cup last 64, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of Swansea’s visit.

Coventry

Oxford United will try to claim a major scalp in the Championship round 4 when they face Coventry City on Saturday afternoon. The Yellows experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a massive EFL Cup loss (0-6) to Brighton and given their three-game losing run in the early stages of the new Championship season, home win should not be considered. Adding to their woes, im... Read More...
