West Brom vs Millwall (Friday, 8pm)
West Brom are six games unbeaten but remain at risk of relegation and could be beaten by Millwall, who have amassed 16 points from their last six away matches.
Score prediction: West Brom 1-2 Millwall
Coventry vs Sheffield Wednesday (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Eighty-nine points separate promotion-bound Coventry from rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday and that gap is set to widen with a comfortable home victory.
Score prediction: Coventry 3-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Norwich vs Ipswich (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Ipswich are keen to close in on promotion but could be limited to a point by bitter rivals Norwich, who have won 12 of 17 league games in 2026.
Score prediction: Norwich 1-1 Ipswich
QPR vs Bristol City (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Roy Hodgson has won the first two games in his second spell as Bristol City boss, but a defeat looks likely against QPR, who are on a four-game unbeaten run.
Score prediction: QPR 2-0 Bristol City
Charlton vs Preston (Saturday, 3pm)
Charlton have been inching closer to safety and that process can continue with a sharing of the spoils against a Preston side set for an uneventful mid-table finish.
Score prediction: Charlton 1-1 Preston
Leicester vs Swansea (Saturday, 3pm)
Leicester lost their appeal against a six-point deduction but they can end the week with a victory over Swansea, who have lost 12 times on their Championship travels.
Score prediction: Leicester 2-1 Swansea
Middlesbrough vs Portsmouth (Saturday, 3pm)
Middlesbrough have been finding ways to drop points but continue to play attacking football and can sweep aside lowly Pompey, who are one point above the drop zone.
Score prediction: Middlesbrough 3-1 Portsmouth
Oxford vs Watford (Saturday, 3pm)
Oxford are fighting hard for survival and can make the most of an attractive fixture against mid-table Watford, who often struggle on their travels.
Score prediction: Oxford 2-1 Watford
Sheffield United vs Hull (Saturday, 3pm)
Hull need a few more points to seal a top six finish but could emerge empty-handed against Sheffield United, who have improved in the second half of the season.
Score prediction: Sheffield United 2-0 Hull
Southampton vs Derby (Saturday, 3pm)
Southampton have forced their way into the top six, but they will be aiming higher and should be too strong for promotion rivals Derby, who have lost on four of their last five road trips.
Score prediction: Southampton 3-1 Derby
Stoke vs Blackburn (Saturday, 3pm)
Blackburn have kept clean sheets in three successive games and their solid defence can pave the way to a draw at mid-table Stoke.
Score prediction: Stoke 0-0 Blackburn
Birmingham vs Wrexham (Sunday, 12.00)
Wrexham are out of the top six and need a response but may struggle to cope with Birmingham, who can register a tenth home league win of the season.
Score prediction: Birmingham 2-1 Wrexham
