Foxes to return to winning ways

Another defeat for QPR

Sky Blues to continue their resurgence
Leg 1 Leicester (90mins) @ 8/151.53 (19:45)
Cardiff disappointed me on Boxing Day as they failed to beat Plymouth at home, and hopefully they will disappoint their fans this evening.
Erol Bulut's side face the most difficult fixture in the Championship, as they take on Leicester. The Bluebirds do have home advantage, but it's just one win in five at home for them, and Norwich, West Brom and Birmingham all won here during that period.
A deflected injury time goal cost the Foxes the points at Portman Road in their Boxing Day game, but a draw at Ipswich isn't a bad result, and the league leaders can make it win number 10 on the road this season.
Leg 2 Ipswich (90mins) @ 2/51.40 (19:45)
Ipswich are winless in three, but they faced Norwich, Leeds and Leicester during that run, and only lost one of them. They are now six points adrift of top spot, but they do still have a nice five point cushion over third.
Things get much easier for Kieran McKenna's team tonight, as they welcome a QPR side to Portman Road that have just lost three on the bounce, and are winless in four.
Their upturn in form since Martí Cifuentes joined as manager has come to a screaming halt, and what's even more worrying is that they have scored just one goal across their last four matches.
Leg 3 Coventry (90mins) @ 8/131.61 (19:45)
The Sky Blues are one of the form clubs in the division, and after being right down towards the bottom of the table, they are now up to 13th, and just a mere three points off the Play-offs.
Mark Robins has had to rebuild his side following the departure of his two best players in the summer, but things are now coming together, and they are unbeaten in five - losing just one of their last nine.
It's three wins from their last four at the CBS Arena, and only West Brom have beaten them here this year.
Swansea head to the West Midlands having been beaten 5-0 at Southampton on Boxing Day. They have lost three of their last five on the road, and they will likely come up short tonight.
