Championship preview: Can Leeds United maintain their Premier League push?

West Bromwich Albion v Birmingham City (Saturday, 15:00)

There’s the small matter of another West Midlands derby at the Hawthorns from 15:00, with the last meeting between these two a five-goal end-to-end encounter.

West Brom’s form dipped just before the break, surrendering top spot to Leeds, but Slaven Bilić’s side still head into this one as the odds-on 2/3 favourites.

The Blues will hope to throw a spanner in the works and derail the Baggies charge towards the top-flight. They’re 15/2 to claim all three points.

Charlie Austin notched a late double to claim the points at St. Andrews. He’s 11/8 to score anytime, or if you fancy him to repeat his brace, two or more goals comes in at 7/1.

On the blue side, it’s Scott Hogan who’s leading the way to score first at 6/1. Elsewhere, Lukas Jutkiewicz is 12/5 anytime.

Hull City v Charlton Athletic (Saturday, 15:00)

It’s a huge clash at the wrong end of the table, as 21st take on 22nd. A last-gasp own goal secured a point for Hull City in the reverse fixture.

The Tigers are the pre-match favourites at 5/4, with Lee Bowyer’s Charlton 11/5 to leave East Yorkshire with all three points.

The pair drew 2-2 in December, and you can find 12/1 on a repeat score line. Fancy a draw of any score? That’s 12/5.

Former Addicks striker Josh Magennis is a 9/2 favourite to score first, alongside Tom Eaves. They’re both 7/4 anytime too. For Charlton, it’s Macauley Bonne who’s the 5/1 favourite to score first.

Cardiff City v Leeds United (Sunday, 12:00)

Should the Baggies win their match, the pressure could be on Bielsa’s men coming into this one to retain top spot in the Championship.

Leeds are favourites at 2/3, but Cardiff City are only 4/1 to cause a surprise. They’ve not tasted defeat against the Whites since 2016, and with an outside chance of a play-off spot, they’ll be hoping to take the scalp of Leeds.

The Bluebirds came from three goals down to secure a point at Elland Road earlier this season, and the draw’s 15/4 in this one.

Callum Paterson and Danny Ward are the 15/2 favourites to open the scoring for Neil Harris’ side, with Lee Tomlin a 10/3 anytime scorer.

Patrick Bamford is favourite to net for Leeds, found at 23/20 anytime or 16/5 to open the scoring.
