Championship predictions and betting - Express Sport bring you the top tips.
Leeds vs Derby County - Tuesday, 7.45pm
Leeds have lost four of their last five matches, including their last two at home.
Derby boss Gary Rowett has got his side going after a slow start, winning their last three.
Elland Road remains a daunting place to visit for away sides, but Thomas Christiansen’s side were not at the races in the loss to Sheffield United last Friday.
Leeds have not lost to Derby in the last four times this fixture has been played.
Express Sport’s Tip
Score draw.

Leeds - 4/3 Draw - 9/4 Derby - 21/10
Sunderland boss Simon Grayson
Sunderland vs Bolton Wanderers - Tuesday, 7.45pm
We may only be three months into the campaign but we already have our first six-pointer.
Sunderland have not won at home in 2017, while Bolton have picked up just three points in seven away games.
The Trotters secured a draw at Fulham on Saturday, putting in a dogged defensive display at Craven Cottage.
But Phil Parkinson will have to set his side up to be more attacking if they are to win, which could open the door for Sunderland.
Sunderland boss Simon Grayson faces the axe if his side fail to beat Bolton, but I think they could pick up their first win since August.
Express Sport’s Tip
Sunderland to win, both teams to score.
Match Odds (Courtesy of Betsafe)
Sunderland - 11/15 Draw 11/4 Bolton - 39/10
Preston North End vs Aston Villa - Wednesday, 7.45pm
An intriguing clash at Deepdale.
Preston had enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season at home before Saturday’s defeat to Brentford, while Aston Villa have flattered to deceive away from home.
Villa have improved from a poor start, while Preston’s injury problems in defence could lead to an high-scoring game.
Lilywhites striker Jordan Hugill will be a handful for John Terry, and he has three goals in his last four games.
Express Sport’s Tip
Jordan Hugill first goalscorer.
