Derby

Derby

After holding Leeds United, Swansea City will look to return to winning ways when they take on Derby County in the Championship round 40. The Swans are only five points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Saturday’s game is of big importance for Alan Sheehan’s troops. Defender Kristian Pedersen remains on the sidelines with injury, while midfielder Goncalo Franco ... Read More...

Hull City

Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to move closer to the playoffs berth when they welcome Hull City to their Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon. The Owls are on a three-game losing run at home, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Hull City on Matchday 40.

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. South Korean forward Min-Hyuk ... Read More...

Stoke City

Preston and Stoke City square off against each other at Deepdale in what is expected to be an interesting Championship encounter. The Lilywhites aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Aston Villa and Derby County, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Paul Heckingbottom’s troops.

Norwich

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. However, they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure yet another Championship survival.

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.

Portsmouth

Saturday’s football game at the Den pits together Millwall and Portsmouth, the two mid-table sides. The Lions aim to revive their playoffs hopes and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Pompey. Summer signing Mihailo Ivanovic is in line for a recall to the starting XI, while goalkeeper Liam Roberts continues to miss out through suspension. Portsmouth, on the other... Read More...

Bristol City will be aiming to recover from a 1-0 loss to Burnley when they take on Watford in the Championship round 40. The Robins continue with fine performances at home, with the team winning three of their last four games at Ashton Gate Stadium and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter.

Sunderland

West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland take on each other at the Hawthorns in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Baggies failed to spoil Norwich City’s party at Carrow Road, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels.

Luton Town will look to claim a major scalp in the Championship round 40 when they take on promotion hopefuls Leeds United on Matchday 40.

There will be fireworks when Coventry City and Burnley go head to head in the Championship derby. The Sky Blues have been struggling on the road of late, but they are on a four-game winning run at home ground.
