Preston vs. Leeds (Tuesday, 12.30pm)
Leeds United make the trip to Preston North End on Boxing Day looking to build on their dominant victory over Ipswich Town at the weekend.
While the visitors remain in third position in the Championship standings, Preston are down in 13th spot after suffering another defeat last time out.
We say: Preston North End 1-4 Leeds United
While Preston may feel that they can play with a certain level of freedom on Boxing Day, that may not necessarily help them. Leeds appear to be building momentum, leading us to predict a comprehensive win for the Yorkshire giants.

Millwall vs. QPR (Tuesday, 1.00pm)
Aiming to distance themselves from the relegation dogfight at the foot of the division, Millwall will welcome strugglers Queens Park Rangers to The Den in the Championship on Boxing Day.
The Lions have stumbled to successive draws recently when maximums were massively required, while QPR have hit a slight downturn in form since the festive period commenced.
We say: Millwall 1-2 Queens Park Rangers
Millwall were able to keep their first clean sheet in six matches last time out, but the Lions failed to consistently threaten a Stoke side who have been in a real rut of late.
QPR were impressive in stages of their contest with Southampton despite defeat, so we reckon that the R's will produce a plucky away performance to earn maximum points at The Den on Boxing Day.

Cardiff vs. Plymouth (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Cardiff City play host to Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day looking for the victory that could catapult them back up the Championship standings.
At a time when the Bluebirds sit in 10th position, the visitors are 17th and seven points clear of the relegation zone.
We say: Cardiff City 2-1 Plymouth Argyle
Possessing an encouraging unbeaten run, Plymouth will fancy their chances of causing the upset at the Cardiff City Stadium. However, the Welsh giants have enough about them to stay in the playoff race if they win games such as this one, and we feel a late goal could prove decisive.

Coventry vs. Sheff Weds (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to five matches, top-six chasing Coventry City will host relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Boxing Day.
The Sky Blues produced a brilliant smash-and-grab display at Sunderland to earn maximum points on Saturday, while a late collapse from the Owls saw them squander a result against Cardiff City.
We say: Coventry City 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Coventry have earned very respectable results from fixtures against Southampton, Leeds and Sunderland recently, so the Sky Blues will not fear strugglers Sheffield Wednesday.
The Owls need to produce a gritty response after losing Saturday's match in cruel fashion, but we feel that Robins's men will be too strong in the East Midlands.

Huddersfield vs. Blackburn (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Huddersfield Town will attempt to end a five-game winless run when they welcome Blackburn Rovers to the John Smith's Stadium on Boxing Day.
Like their hosts, Blackburn will also be desperate to claim all three points after losing back-to-back matches in the Championship.
We say: Huddersfield Town 2-2 Blackburn Rovers
Huddersfield and Blackburn have both found wins hard to come by in recent times and with two of their last three meetings finishing all square, we think that the two sides could play out a draw in the Boxing Day fixture.

Hull City vs. Sunderland (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Hull City square off against Sunderland on Boxing Day realistically requiring all three points if they are to remain in the top six of the Championship standings.
Despite their poor result at the weekend, the Black Cats will move ahead of their sixth-placed opponents with a win on Humberside.
We say: Hull City 2-1 Sunderland
Beale will hope that the only way is up with his Sunderland side after the defeat at the weekend. Nevertheless, Hull will be motivated to deliver an important win in the playoff race, and given that they are more settled under Rosenior, we are backing them to earn it.

Rotherham vs. Middlesbrough (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Rotherham United will look to claim their first win since October when they welcome Middlesbrough to the New York Stadium on Boxing Day.
The hosts are currently propping up the Championship table, while the visitors are sitting in 11th position in the standings.
We say: Rotherham United 1-2 Middlesbrough
The two sides are currently experiencing contrasting results, and we think this one could follow the form book, which is why we believe the visitors will edge out their hosts to claim a fourth consecutive victory.

Southampton vs. Swansea (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Russell Martin will look to get the better of his former side when his Southampton team play host to Swansea City on Boxing Day.
While the promotion-chasing hosts are currently sitting in fourth place, the Swans head into Tuesday's fixture in 16th position.
We say: Southampton 2-1 Swansea City
Despite enjoying a successful weekend, we think Swansea could fall short against their promotion-chasing hosts, who should have enough quality to edge out the visitors and record a fifth consecutive home victory.

Watford vs. Bristol City (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
Watford and Bristol City will both have the chance to claim a third consecutive victory when they face off at Vicarage Road on Boxing Day.
The Hornets are currently sitting in seventh position in the Championship standings, while the Robins are two points further back in 12th place.
We say: Watford 2-0 Bristol City
Although both teams enter Tuesday's contest in confident mood, we think that Watford will get the better of their opponents after winning their last three head-to-head home meetings by a combined 10-0 scoreline.

West Brom vs. Norwich (Tuesday, 3.00pm)
With both sides looking to earn a statement victory as they strive for a top-six finish, West Bromwich Albion will do battle against Norwich City at The Hawthorns on Boxing Day in the Championship.
The Baggies have experienced a slump in results since the start of the festive schedule, while the Canaries are slowly returning to the levels which allowed them to be serious players in the second tier during previous campaigns.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 1-1 Norwich City
West Brom have struggled since the start of December with a tricky run of fixtures, but Corberan's Baggies are never pushovers at The Hawthorns under any circumstances.
Norwich are beginning to display their top-six credentials as the likes of Rowe and Sainz get into their strides, and we expect the Canaries to pick up a point on Boxing Day.

Birmingham vs. Stoke (Tuesday, 5.15pm)
Aiming to prevent their winless run from entering the double digits, Stoke City make the short trip down the West Midlands to face Birmingham City in the Championship on Boxing Day.
Blues secured a share of the spoils in a dramatic six-goal thriller at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, while the Potters played out a goalless draw with strugglers Millwall.
We say: Birmingham City 2-1 Stoke City
Birmingham have improved offensively during the last few matches and could display their progression against a Stoke side who are in the midst of a woeful winless run.
The Potters looked more organised under the stewardship of Schumacher last time out, but we are predicting a Boxing Day defeat for the visitors at St Andrew's.

Ipswich vs. Leicester (Tuesday, 7.45pm)
The Championship's top two will go toe to toe for 90 minutes on Boxing Day, as Ipswich Town host leaders Leicester City at Portman Road.
While the Tractor Boys were smashed by third-placed Leeds United last time out, Leicester strode further clear at the summit, with a 3-0 home win extending their advantage to five points.
We say: Ipswich Town 1-2 Leicester City
Curiously, Leicester City have lost seven of their last nine league games on Boxing Day, with their sole success an unlikely one - against Manchester City in 2018. They are not likely to slip up again on this occasion, as the league leaders travel to Portman Road following a confidence-shaking stumble for closest Championship challengers Ipswich.
