Bogey club will again trip Leeds United up
Saturday is quite possibly the biggest day yet of another fascinating Championship season as there are three separate fixtures pairing two top-eight teams which promise to shake up the promotion picture. Here's how we see each one going...
Millwall v Leeds
The big fixtures keep coming from Millwall and they keep on delivering, beating QPR, Burnley and Hull and holding Cardiff to enter play-off contention, and they will head into this tie with their old League One foes feeling more confident than they did about any of the others. The Lions have won three in a row against Leeds at the New Den and with the Yorkshire club leaking points in seven of their last nine away games, a fourth has to be fancied at [2.44].
Nottingham Forest v Reading
Forest fans must be wondering what is going on at the City Ground, with Billy Davies quoted several times in the press explaining that this is the period of the campaign where coaches earn their corn at the same time that his side slide down the table. Having at one point appeared automatic promotion challengers, an eight-match winless streak has seen them fall three points off the play-off pace. They rarely lose at home, but Reading are on a roll, so back the draw at [3.35].
Swansea v Norwich (5.20pm, Sky Sports 1)
Norwich are three points clear of Swansea in second place so Brendan Rodgers has to be targeting victory in this huge clash at the Liberty Stadium, where the Swans have lost just twice all season. His team delivered in recent six-pointers against Leeds and Nottingham Forest so have no reason to fear the Canaries, especially as Paul Lambert's men haven't triumphed away to anyone above 12th-placed Leicester. Swansea therefore have every chance of a priceless win at [2.18].
