Cardiff

Cardiff

Loftus Road will be the centre of attention when Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City square off against each other in the Championship round 40. The Hoops do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches and they must be low on confidence following a 3-1 loss to Stoke City.

Preston and Stoke City square off against each other at Deepdale in what is expected to be an interesting Championship encounter.

Norwich

Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Home Park when Plymouth and Norwich City go head to head in the Championship round 40. The Pilgrims have been having their ups and downs of late, beating Portsmouth, losing to Derby, while sharing the spoils with Watford.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United

Kassam Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Oxford United and Sheffield United. The Yellows aim to escape the danger zone and the fact that they defeated Watford 1-0 in their last home game is surely fuelling fans with optimism. Defender Elliott Moore remains in the recovery room, but the 28-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.

West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland take on each other at the Hawthorns in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter.

There will be fireworks when Coventry City and Burnley go head to head in the Championship derby.
