Both aiming to continue impressive unbeaten streaks at the top end of the Championship table, Millwall and Leeds United will square off at The Den on Wednesday.
The hosts moved within two points of the playoff spots with a third straight victory on Sunday, while their visitors climbed into the top two with a win of their own.
We say: Millwall 1-1 Leeds United
With both sides facing one of their toughest tests yet in the Championship, we anticipate a tight encounter at The Den on Wednesday.
While Leeds United have more quality in their ranks, Millwall may have enough to come away with a result with confidence growing in the camp.

Blackburn vs. Stoke (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to halt a three-game winless streak, Blackburn Rovers will welcome Stoke City to Ewood Park for a Championship clash on Wednesday night.
Rovers were defeated at the hands of promotion-chasing Sheffield United last time out, whilst the Potters recorded a home success over a newly-promoted club.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Stoke City
Despite their struggles against Sheffield United on the weekend, Blackburn are still a solid outfit at their Ewood Park base and should provide a stern test for Stoke on Wednesday night.
The Potters have failed to win any of their last five away contests across all competitions, so we are expecting the visitors to fall short in Lancashire.

Coventry vs. Derby (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to record back-to-back wins following a handsome success on the weekend, Coventry City will welcome Derby County to the Coventry Building Society Arena for a Midlands battle in the Championship on Wednesday night.
The Sky Blues managed a comfortable victory at the home of Middlesbrough last time out, whilst the Rams collected nothing from their trip to Stoke City.
We say: Coventry City 2-1 Derby County
After a handsome victory in the North-East on the weekend, Coventry should be confident of putting newly-promoted Derby to the sword at the CBS Arena.
The Rams struggle massively away from their Pride Park fortress, and we cannot envisage the visitors earning anything from this Midlands derby on Wednesday night.

Luton vs. Cardiff (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Luton Town play host to Cardiff City on Wednesday evening looking for the victory that would move them level with their opponents in the Championship table.
At a time when the Hatters are struggling in the second tier, the visitors to Kenilworth Road are one of the form teams in the division.
We say: Luton Town 1-1 Cardiff City
Cardiff are the clear favourites for this contest and it will come as a surprise if they do not battle their way to a hard-earned victory. For us, though, Luton must surely click into gear at some stage and we are backing them to secure a share of the spoils here.

Preston vs. Sunderland (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Early-season strugglers Preston North End welcome Championship leaders Sunderland to Deepdale on Wednesday night.
This will be the second meeting between the two here this season, as Preston set a false precedent in beating the Black Cats in the EFL Cup first round back in August.
We say: Preston North End 1-2 Sunderland
It will be by no means an easy outing for Sunderland, despite the huge disparity in league position, and even though they have a poor record at Deepdale, they will be fancied to maintain their lead at the top here.
A disappointing defeat at the weekend will see morale suffer slightly, and Preston will need a rapid turnaround if they are to keep the league leaders at bay.
