The Championship never slows down! With the promotion race heating up, pressure mounting on struggling managers and several clubs desperately searching for form, Tom and Kelan are back to preview all 12 fixtures from another fascinating weekend of Championship football!
We kick things off with reaction to Portsmouth's dramatic late equaliser at Wolves, before turning our attention to Friday night's clash between Bolton Wanderers and Middlesbrough. Can the Trotters continue their resurgence against one of the division's promotion favourites? Elsewhere, West Ham welcome Southampton in a huge clash between two promotion hopefuls, while in-form Birmingham City face a tricky trip to Cardiff City.
At the other end of the table, things are looking increasingly desperate! Norwich travel to Charlton having lost five consecutive matches, Burnley head to Lincoln with Nicky Hayen under enormous pressure, and John Eustace's injury-hit Derby face a difficult afternoon at Sheffield United. Meanwhile, can Graham Alexander finally stop the rot at Preston when West Brom visit Deepdale?
We also examine Blackburn's remarkable overperformance against their underlying numbers ahead of their meeting with Wrexham, and question whether Stoke's impressive results are sustainable as they host a struggling Bristol City. Portsmouth look to maintain their momentum against Millwall, while Swansea visit an injury-hit QPR.
And finally, can Wolves get their season back on track against Watford, or will the pressure continue to build at Molineux?
All 12 Championship fixtures previewed, with form analysis, underlying numbers, tactical discussion, score predictions and plenty of debate!
