Blackburn Rovers play host to Millwall on Saturday afternoon looking for the win which could move the club back into the Championship playoff spots.
However, despite six positions separating the two clubs in the standings, Millwall will edge ahead of their seventh-placed hosts with victory at Ewood Park.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-1 Millwall
Millwall head into this contest in the better form and will fancy their chances of edging out their hosts. Nevertheless, in a game between two clubs who have just one draw between them this season, we are backing Rovers to bounce back from their latest defeat with success in front of their own supporters.

Norwich City make the long trip to Blackpool looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the Championship to eight matches.
At a time when the Canaries are in second position in the standings, Blackpool head into Saturday's fixture sitting in 19th spot after losing three of their last four games.
We say: Blackpool 1-2 Norwich City
Given the players that spent the international break away from the club, Norwich may not necessarily be firing on all cylinders in the North-West. Nevertheless, we feel that the Canaries should still have enough quality to edge this game, potentially through a contribution from the substitutes' bench.

Bristol City play host to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon looking for the victory which could move the club back into the Championship playoff spots.
However, the home side square off against their improving sixth-placed opponents on the back of suffering successive defeats for the first time this season.
We say: Bristol City 1-1 Queens Park Rangers
Although QPR had been building a head of steam before the international break, it remains to be seen how they will react to the enforced break. For us, it can only have helped Bristol City, leading to us to back a low-scoring draw at Ashton Gate.

Burnley travel to face Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten streak in the Championship to eight matches.
At a time when the Clarets sit in fourth position in the standings, Cardiff are in 18th spot and managerless after the surprise sacking of Steve Morison.
We say: Cardiff City 0-2 Burnley
Under temporary guidance, it is unclear how the Cardiff squad will react to the exit of their manager. However, Burnley's added quality and extra strength-in-depth should shine through at some stage, leading us to predict a professional performance and victory from Kompany's men.

Coventry City take on Middlesbrough at the Coventry Building Society Arena in the Championship on Saturday.
It is a battle between two teams in the relegation zone at this early stage in the season, after slow starts from both sides.
We say: Coventry City 1-1 Middlesbrough
Coventry will want to give their fans something to shout about in a rare home game so far this season, but with not much separating the two sides, we think Middlesbrough will have enough to come away with a point.

Reading square off against Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon looking for the victory which will keep the club in the top three of the Championship standings.
Meanwhile, the 23rd-placed Terriers make the trip to Berkshire under a new head coach after the appointment of Mark Fotheringham earlier this week.
We say: Reading 2-1 Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield will be full of enthusiasm under a new head coach and having prevailed in their last fixture. However, we cannot back against Reading at their home ground right now, leading us to predict a hard-fought win for the Royals as they continue to impress towards the top of the table.

Rotherham vs. Wigan (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rotherham United will play their first game following the exit of long-serving manager Paul Warne on Saturday, when they welcome Wigan Athletic to the New York Stadium.
Warne departed with the Millers sat ninth in the Championship table, while their visitors are just a point worse off in 13th spot, and both will aim to return to winning ways following the international break.
We say: Rotherham United 1-1 Wigan Athletic
Rotherham will certainly be shaken from the loss of their popular long-serving manager, but their form so far this season suggests this Millers side has more to offer than they did in previous Championship spells in recent years, and we back them to at least take a share of the spoils on home turf.

On their return to action following the international break, Sheffield United will aim to strengthen their position at the summit of the Championship table on Saturday, when they welcome Birmingham City to Bramall Lane.
The Blades sit three points clear at the top of the division thanks to four straight wins before the break, while their visitors have climbed up to 17th spot following an improved run of their own.
We say: Sheffield United 2-0 Birmingham City
Birmingham should not be underestimated by the league leaders and will travel to Bramall Lane with a sense of renewed confidence after their results in the lead up to the international break, but we see the Blades being too strong on home turf, even without a long list of key men out of action.

Sunderland vs. Preston (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both looking to return to action after the international break with a victory, Sunderland and Preston North End will square off at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
The hosts sit fifth in the Championship with 15 points from their opening 10 games, while their visitors are three points worse off after three matches without a victory.
We say: Sunderland 1-0 Preston North End
Sunderland appear to be able to manage even without their star strikers and boast home advantage on Saturday, while their visitors have shown a concerning lack of attacking thrust this season, and we see the Black Cats having enough to break down the resilient Lilywhites defence while keeping their opponents out at the other end.

West Brom vs. Swansea (Saturday, 3.00pm)

With pressure growing on Steve Bruce at The Hawthorns, West Bromwich Albion will aim to return from the international break with a win on Saturday as they host Swansea City.
The hosts only sit above the relegation zone in the Championship on goal difference after 10 games, with their opponents having leapfrogged them with a victory prior to the break.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Swansea City
West Bromwich Albion will see it as crucial that they put a win on the board at home on Saturday, but they have managed just one victory so far this season, and we cannot predict them putting the Swans to the sword as a result.
Instead, we see Martin's men holding this somewhat stagnant Baggies side and returning to south Wales with a valuable point.
