Fulham play host to Birmingham City on Tuesday evening with the opportunity to move five points clear at the top of the Championship standings.

Meanwhile, Blues are winless in their last five league games, leaving Lee Bowyer's side nine points above the relegation zone.

We say: Fulham 3-0 Birmingham City

While there have been plenty of surprises in the Championship this season, we do not anticipate one in this game. The Cottagers have rediscovered their best form in the final third and with Blues offering little in that department, it could be one-way traffic at Craven Cottage.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Preston vs. Sheff Utd (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Preston North End and Sheffield United square off at Deepdale on Tuesday evening with the clubs level on points in the Championship standings.

While the visitors boast a game in hand and marginally superior goal difference, Preston head into this contest in the marginally better form.

We say: Preston North End 1-1 Sheffield United

Given the margin to the top six, both teams are aware that a share of the spoils from this contest will do neither of them much good. Nevertheless, it is difficult to split these two clubs, and we feel that a low-scoring draw is the most likely outcome.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
