West Brom vs Leicester, Saturday 12.30pm - Live on Sky Sports Football

West Brom are on the march. They are looking up and have had a brilliant week. They were superb against Ipswich last weekend, and found a way past Cardiff as well.

Leicester stuttered again in midweek against Sheffield Wednesday. It shows the standards that have been set there that any dropped points is a bit of a shock. I think they may struggle on Saturday, too. Home win.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Hull vs Watford, Saturday 3pm

Hull are ticking along. I’m such a big fan of Liam Rosenior and what he has done there, and they are in that top-six mix keeping up with some real heavyweights in this league.

Watford enjoyed a brilliant comeback win over Norwich in midweek. They will be feeling good, but I cannot back against a Hull win here.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Ipswich vs Coventry, Saturday 3pm

Ipswich had a tough defeat at West Brom on Saturday, but then followed it up by blowing Millwall away on Wednesday night. They just have to keep that gap as big as they can over the chasing pack.

Coventry have had a great week, winning both games to blow away a few cobwebs. Can they keep that up at Portman Road? I don’t think so.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Leeds vs Middlesbrough, Saturday 3pm

Leeds bounced back brilliantly to beat Swansea in midweek. Much-needed after what happened at Rotherham in their previous game. They are looking up at the top two in menacing fashion.

Middlesbrough took Preston apart on Tuesday night. They needed that after the frustration at Bristol City on Saturday. There will be goals here, but a home win.

Prediction: 3-2 (Sky Bet odds)

Southampton vs Cardiff, Saturday 3pm

Southampton are narrowly finding the results they need on the most part, edging past Bristol City in midweek. But they need to start scoring in twos and threes or they will get bitten every so often - as happened last weekend.

Cardiff followed up a brilliant comeback win at Preston at the weekend with a tough defeat against West Brom in midweek, but three points from those two games is a solid return. They will give Southampton a good game, but the Saints will have too much here.

Prediction: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds)
