Looking to earn their first win under the stewardship of a new head coach, Derby County will welcome playoff hopefuls Millwall to Pride Park on Saturday afternoon in the Championship.
The Rams suffered a heavy defeat at the home of Queens Park Rangers last time out in front of the TV cameras, whilst the Lions shared the spoils with Preston North End earlier in the week.
We say: Derby County 1-0 Millwall
With their winless run close to hitting the two-month mark, Derby will be desperate to put on a positive showing during Eustace's debut in the dugout at Pride Park.
The Rams have been fairly good in the East Midlands this season, so we are backing them to narrowly edge past the attentions of Millwall on Saturday.

Two relegation rivals will face off when Plymouth Argyle welcome Cardiff City to Home Park for Saturday's Championship encounter.
The Pilgrims are languishing in 23rd place in the Championship table, while the Bluebirds will head into the weekend in 20th position.
We say: Plymouth Argyle 2-1 Cardiff City
Plymouth have put together a three-game winning run at Home Park, and we think that they will continue their impressive form on home turf by claiming a narrow victory over a Cardiff side that have lost their last two away matches.

Sunderland will welcome Hull City to the Stadium of Light on Saturday for an important contest at both ends of the Championship table.
The hosts fell eight points behind the automatic promotion spots following a defeat on Monday, while their visitors sit a single point above the relegation zone.
We say: Sunderland 2-0 Hull City
Despite the wound from their late defeat in Monday's crucial contest, we back Sunderland to get back to winning ways against a Hull City side who are failing to build momentum in their survival bid, particularly given the Black Cats' formidable home record.

On the cusp of breaking into the top six of the Championship following a remarkable second-tier ascent, Coventry City will lock horns with Preston North End at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The Sky Blues secured a last-gasp success at the base of fellow playoff hopefuls Sheffield Wednesday last weekend, whilst the Lilywhites were in league action at the beginning of this week versus Millwall at Deepdale.
We say: Coventry City 2-0 Preston North End
After the last-minute triumph at Sheffield Wednesday a week ago, Coventry will sense a brilliant opportunity to make it three wins on the spin as Preston come to The CBS Arena.
The Lilywhites were impressive on the road against Norwich earlier this month, but we feel that Heckingbottom's men will struggle away from Deepdale this time around.

Norwich City will look to end a three-game winless run when they face Stoke City in Saturday's Championship clash at Carrow Road.
Meanwhile, the Potters will be aiming to clinch back-to-back victories after getting the better of Swansea City in their most recent outing.
We say: Norwich City 1-1 Stoke City
Norwich have endured a dip in form in recent weeks, and we think the playoff hopefuls could experience frustration in Saturday's home clash because we believe Stoke may do enough to hold the Canaries to a repeat of October's scoreline between the two sides.

Portsmouth will attempt to claim a third consecutive victory when they welcome Queens Park Rangers to Fratton Park for Saturday's Championship encounter.
Meanwhile, the R's are hoping to record back-to-back victories after sweeping past Derby County in their most recent outing.
We say: Portsmouth 2-1 Queens Park Rangers
Pompey will be full of confidence after recording back-to-back victories, and having won seven of their last 10 home games, we think the hosts may do enough to squeeze past a QPR side that have lost narrowly in their previous two away outings.

Swansea vs. Blackburn (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Two teams without a permanent manager will face off when Blackburn Rovers travel to the Swansea.com Stadium for Saturday's Championship encounter against Swansea City.
The hosts are sitting in 17th place in the Championship table, while the visitors currently occupy a playoff berth in fifth position.
We say: Swansea City 0-2 Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn will carry some momentum into Saturday's fixture after recording back-to-back victories, and we think they could enjoy another successful outing, especially as they will face a Swansea team that will be low on confidence following seven defeats in nine league matches.

Looking to cement their spot in the top six this weekend, West Bromwich Albion will welcome Oxford United to The Hawthorns for a Championship battle on Saturday afternoon.
The Baggies have endured a mixed run of form following the departure of Carlos Corberan to Valencia, whilst the U's are faring well under the stewardship of Gary Rowett.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 1-0 Oxford United
Despite the surprise defeat at home to Blackburn, West Brom remain a formidable outfit at The Hawthorns and should be confident of maximum points against Oxford.
The U's are struggling in front of net and now face a daunting trip to the Black Country for the first time since an EFL Cup loss in 2014.
