Wolves to get the job done at Molineux
-
Another win for Harris' Millwall
-
Preston to boost their Play-off hopes
Leg 1 Wolves (90mins) @ 13/102.30 (15:00)
Wolves saw their three match winning run ended emphatically by Newcastle last weekend, but I am inclined to forgive them that, and their overall form under Gary O'Neil has been good.
Three of their last five at Molineux have been victories in the league, and while Fulham have improved of late, they can be a bit inconsistent. It's also concerning that they have won just twice on the road this term - losing on seven occasions.
Leg 2 Millwall (90mins) @ 11/102.11 (15:00)
Millwall made it seven points from a possible nine under Neil Harris in their 1-1 draw at Ewood Park during the week, and they can make it 10 from 12 at home to Birmingham on Saturday.
The Blues have taken just a single point in their last three games, and while they have had to face Ipswich, Southampton and Hull during that period, they haven't won away from home since January.
Leg 3 Preston (90mins) @ 5/42.25 (15:00)
Preston are back in form, and with the top six in their sights, I find it hard to see them slipping up at home against Stoke.
Ryan Potter's hosts are unbeaten in seven - winning four of them -and they remain unbeaten at Deepdale since the turn of the year.
Stoke have been beaten in three of their last four, and away from home it's four straight defeats.
Leg 4 Coventry (90mins) @ 13/102.30 (15:00)
The Sky Blues re-inserted themselves into the Play-off picture by thrashing Rotherham during the week, and Mark Robins' men can win again at Vicarage Road.
Watford are sliding down the table, and if their results don't improve soon, they risk being dragged into a relegation battle. They managed a 1-1 draw here with Swansea on Wednesday, but all that did was stretch their winless run at home to eight - five of which were losses.
Leg 5 Derby (90mins) @ 10/111.91 (15:00)
Derby start the weekend one point outside of the automatic promotion places in League One, and with five teams all vying for two places, they can't afford to drop too many points.
The Rams face a tricky trip to the Memorial Ground to take on Bristol Rovers, but the Gas are in mid-table, and probably too far off the top six to consider themselves Play-off candidates.
The hosts have lost four of their last six in front of their own fans and no other team in the division have won more away games than Derby this season.
Acca Wreckers
Leicester got a much needed win at Sunderland on Tuesday, but they are just too short at 1/12.00 to consider backing this weekend.
The Foxes travel to a Hull side that are unbeaten in six, and battling for a top six finish. They held West Brom here recently, and while I still expect Enzo Maresca's team to still win the league, they are only stuttering over the line.
The main event of the weekend comes from Anfield, and even though Liverpool have plenty of injury concerns, I wouldn't be including Man City at 11/102.11 to win.
The Reds haven't been beaten at home since Real Madrid won here in February 2023, and City have only won once here since 2003.
