Southampton make the trip to South Wales to face Swansea City on Saturday looking for the win that would take them into second place in the Championship standings.
While Russell Martin's current side are targeting automatic promotion, his former club require maximum points to rejoin the race for the playoffs.
We say: Swansea City 1-2 Southampton
With a new head coach at the helm, Swansea will relish the chance to put on a show against the division's form side. However, we feel that Southampton will continue on their merry way, extending their prolonged unbeaten run with a hard-earned victory.

Bristol City will be looking to build on their FA Cup exploits in midweek when they play host to Watford in the Championship on Saturday.
Despite there being five positions between these sides in the standings, ninth-placed Watford hold just a three-point advantage over their next opponents.
We say: Bristol City 1-1 Watford
Bristol City will be full of belief after upsetting West Ham in midweek, but it remains to be seen whether they can build on such a strong performance. With that in mind, do not be surprised to see if Watford manage to earn a share of the spoils, fresh from having a midweek off.

Looking to continue their assault towards the top-six places, Middlesbrough will welcome bottom side Rotherham United to the Riverside Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Boro recorded a comeback success in the capital against Millwall last time out, while the Millers were sentenced to another loss by a brilliant Stoke City free-kick.
We say: Middlesbrough 2-0 Rotherham United
Should Middlesbrough be able to keep their focus on Saturday's clash amid plenty of excitement surrounding their EFL Cup antics, Boro will be more than good enough to beat Rotherham.
The Millers have been harmless on their travels this term, and we cannot envisage that changing at the Riverside, despite the hosts' unprecedented number of absentees.

Aiming to continue their unbeaten run across all competitions, Norwich City will welcome top-six hopefuls West Bromwich Albion to Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon in the Championship.
The Canaries secured their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a win over Bristol Rovers in the week, while the Baggies breezed past Blackburn Rovers in the league last Saturday.
We say: Norwich City 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
Norwich have shown their attacking prowess in recent away matches and should be relatively confident of earning a result on Saturday at Carrow Road.
West Brom are not as reliable on the road, but they should be good enough to force a share of the spoils with Wagner's Canaries this weekend.

Cardiff City make the trip to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday looking for the win that they require to remain competitive in the Championship playoff race.
At a time when the Welsh outfit sit in 13th position in the standings, Plymouth are down in 19th spot and with a new head coach at the helm.
We say: Plymouth Argyle 1-2 Cardiff City
With Plymouth having lost some key men of late, this feels like somewhat of a walk into the unknown until they settle under Foster. That may hand Cardiff an opportunity to get a much-needed win on the board, even if it comes during the latter stages.

Aiming to avoid four-straight defeats at the beginning of 2024, Queens Park Rangers welcome London rivals Millwall to MATRADE Loftus Road for a Championship clash on Saturday afternoon.
The R's are embroiled in a battle for their second-tier status at the bottom of the league standings, while the Lions have moved away from danger in recent weeks under relatively-new management.
We say: Queens Park Rangers 2-1 Millwall
QPR have been woeful at Loftus Road this season and in recent weeks especially, but we feel that the likes of Chair and Willock could be able to fire the hosts to victory this weekend.
Millwall have lost back-to-back games over the past fortnight, and we believe that their losing run will continue in a highly-anticipated London derby on Saturday.

Aiming to build on a fine run of form and a climb into the top six of the Championship table, Coventry City will travel to Hillsborough to take on Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.
An eight-game unbeaten streak has seen the visitors climb into sixth spot while their hosts find themselves four points adrift of safety, despite a heavy defeat at the weekend, thanks to an improved run of their own.
We say: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Coventry City
Aside from the recent thrashing at St Mary's, Sheffield Wednesday are certainly full of renewed confidence under Rohl and should cause problems for the visitors, but Coventry City are in a strong run of their own and should have enough to outclass the Owls and extend their winning streak.

Stoke vs. Birmingham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Looking to continue their unbeaten start under new management, Birmingham City travel to the bet365 Stadium to face Stoke City on Saturday afternoon in the Championship.
The Potters recorded a narrow success at Rotherham United last weekend, while Blues squeezed into the fourth round of the FA Cup by defeating Hull City on Tuesday night.
We say: Stoke City 1-1 Birmingham City
Stoke will be of confident of doing the double over Birmingham after dominating the reverse fixture last month, but Blues should be a much sterner test with Mowbray at the helm.
The visitors have been notoriously poor on their Championship travels this term, but we are backing them to force a share of the points on Saturday.
