The action continues to come thick and fast in the Championship with all 24 teams set to play again over the weekend.
Luton vs West Brom (Friday, 8pm)
Luton gave up a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 at Coventry last time out, making it three defeats in their last four games, but they may be able to get something against a West Brom side that have drawn their last four matches.
Score prediction: Luton 1-1 West Brom
Blackburn vs Sheffield United (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Blackburn are yet to lose at home in the league this season, winning six and drawing one, and they will fancy their chances against a Sheffield United side that have tasted success just once in their last six away fixtures in all competitions.
Score prediction: Blackburn 2-1 Sheffield United
Oxford vs Swansea (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Swansea have gone six matches without a win and that could be extended to seven when they head to Oxford, who have not lost at home in all competitions this term.
Score prediction: Oxford 2-1 Swansea
Stoke vs Derby (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Stoke were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in midweek, extending their winless streak to five games, but they could take a share of the spoils at home to Derby, who have drawn their last three matches 1-1.
Score prediction: Stoke 1-1 Derby
Cardiff vs Norwich (Saturday, 3pm)
Cardiff have won all three home games under caretaker boss Omer Riza and that impressive record can be extended at the expense of Norwich, who have drawn four of their last five matches and are struggling to put teams away.
Score prediction: Cardiff 2-1 Norwich
Hull vs Portsmouth (Saturday, 3pm)
Rock-bottom Portsmouth have picked up just one win all season and they may struggle to overcome Hull, who have drawn against Burnley and Derby in their last two games and appear to have too much quality for Pompey.
Score prediction: Hull 3-0 Portsmouth
Leeds vs Plymouth (Saturday, 3pm)
Leeds are on a seven-game unbeaten run and they will feel confident of extending that run when they host a Plymouth side that are without a win in three assignments and have won just one of their last five.
Score prediction: Leeds 2-0 Plymouth
Middlesbrough vs Coventry (Saturday, 3pm)
Middlesbrough played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Norwich last time out and more goals could be on the agenda when they host Coventry, who came from 2-0 down at home to Luton to win 3-2.
Score prediction: Middlesbrough 2-2 Coventry
Preston vs Bristol City (Saturday, 3pm)
Preston have lost at home just once in the league this season and they can avoid defeat against a Bristol City side that have drawn five of their last six matches.
Score prediction: Preston 1-1 Bristol City
QPR vs Sunderland (Saturday, 3pm)
Sunderland continue to defy expectations as they sit top of the table and they will be eyeing all three points when they head to QPR, who have failed to win any of their six home games in the league.
Score prediction: QPR 1-2 Sunderland
Sheffield Wednesday vs Watford (Saturday, 3pm)
Sheffield Wednesday have collected 11 points from last 18 on offer to pull away from the relegation zone and they can chalk up another victory at the expense of Watford, who have lost six matches in a row on the road.
Score prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Watford
Millwall vs Burnley (Sunday, 3pm)
Millwall are on a four-game unbeaten heading into the visit of Burnley, who have embarked on a nine-match unbeaten streak in the league since losing at Sunderland in August.
A share of the spoils would not be a bad result for either side at The Den.
Score prediction: Millwall 1-1 Burnley
