Frank Lampard is doing a fine job in charge of Coventry

- Coventry have won seven of their last eight matches
- Luton have failed to win any of their last 13 league games
- QPR have won seven of their last eight at home

With third-placed Burnley in FA Cup action at nearby Preston, Leeds and Sheffield United will hope to gain wins against West Brom and QPR on Saturday to give themselves more breathing space in the Championship automatic-promotion race.

We have correct-score picks for all eight Championship matches this weekend.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Sunderland (Friday, 8pm)

Wednesday have won just two of their last 10 Championship games. Sunderland should take something from their 4-0 win in the reverse fixture and claim a valuable victory.

Score prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 Sunderland

Blackburn vs Norwich (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Norwich have won only twice on the road in the Championship since the end of September, but they may have too much for Rovers, who have lost six of their last nine.

Oxford vs Coventry (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Oxford had a bounce when Gary Rowett took the reins at the Kassam Stadium, but they are now winless in six and look vulnerable against Coventry, who have won seven of their last eight in the Championship.

Score prediction: Oxford 0-2 Coventry

Leeds vs West Brom (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Tony Mowbray's West Brom are facing a tough test against leaders Leeds

Key wins over Sunderland and Sheffield United have put Leeds in the Championship driving seat and Daniel Farke’s side should not let up.

West Brom have scored in 16 of their last 18 games so could score at Elland Road in defeat.

Score prediction: Leeds 2-1 West Brom

Luton vs Portsmouth (Saturday, 3pm)

Portsmouth have dragged themselves out of the Championship relegation places after three straight wins and can make more progress at basement boys Luton, who have gone 13 games without a win.

Score prediction: Luton 0-2 Portsmouth

Middlesbrough vs Derby (Saturday, 3pm)

Derby are another team deep in relegation trouble after 12 winless matches and they look unlikely to get anything from their trip to Middlesbrough. The home side were boosted by a 3-1 midweek win over Stoke, which has provided plenty of hope that Michael Carrick’s side can get back into the play-off race.

Score prediction: Middlesbrough 3-0 Derby

QPR vs Sheffield United (Saturday, 3pm)

Sheffield United were left licking their wounds after losing to Leeds on Monday and they could concede further ground to the league leaders after their trip to QPR, where the home side have won seven of their last eight fixtures.

Score prediction: QPR 2-0 Sheffield United

Stoke vs Watford (Saturday, 3pm)

It is a wide-open race for the Championship play-off places and Watford have got themselves in the hunt after successive victories over Middlesbrough and arch-rivals Luton, and they should be confident they can gain another success at Stoke.

The Potters are edging towards the relegation battle and look vulnerable after suffering three defeats in their last four outings.

Score prediction: Stoke 0-1 Watford.
