QPR set for merry Christmas against Swansea

There are plenty of brilliant games taking place this Boxing Day. Here's the pick of the action...

QPR v Swansea
Despite losing their undefeated record to Watford, it's been a pretty good couple of weeks for Neil Warnock's side - they have a three point lead at the top of the Championship with a game in hand over second placed Leeds United.

QPR's stay at the top of the Championship has not really been under threat for some time, but that is more to do with the poor form of the teams around them - including Swansea - than their own brilliance. The Swans have won just two of their last seven and it's hard to see them getting anything out of this. Back a win for QPR at [2.2] .

Leicester v Leeds
These are two teams whose fortunes have changed very much for the better over the past few weeks, with Leeds United currently sitting second in the Championship after a run of nine games without defeat.

However, they face a Leicester side with a formidable home record. The Foxes haven't lost at home in seven and dispatched Doncaster 5-1 in their last game at the Walkers stadium. Back Leeds to make it ten games without defeat courtesy of a draw at [3.5].

Cardiff v Coventry
Cardiff City have been having an absolutely miserable time of things recently. The Bluebirds have slipped to third in the Championship table after recording just one victory in their last seven league games.

Coventry have enjoyed something of a resurgence and are now just three points behind Dave Jones' side in the table. However, their assent was halted by a 2-1 defeat against Norwich in their last game, so back Cardiff to get things back on track with a win at a href="https://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=102058796&rfr=7227">[4.0].

Charlton v Southampton
Only four points separate fourth placed Charlton and tenth placed Southampton heading into this clash. Both sides have had their fixture calendars decimated by the weather recently and both lost the last games they were actually able to play. Back a rather ring-rusty draw at [3.45]
