Sheffield Utd v Brentford - 19:45

The Championship promotion race lies on a knife-edge, and I’m backing Sheffield United to make a big statement in their push for the Prem with a win over in-form Brentford.

The Bees have won seven of their last nine matches, but they’ve still lost two of their last four away games (and have won just twice on the road all season), so United will still feel this is well within their grasp.

Chris Wilder’s men have won their last seven at Bramall Lane – keeping six consecutive clean sheets – which is why I’m confident they’ll get the job done.

Sheffield Utd - 1pt @ 21/20

Carlisle v Notts County - 19:45

Carlisle’s 2-1 win against Swindon got their play-off hunt back on track after five without victory, and I’m backing them to beat bottom side Notts County at a tasty 21/20.

Seven wins from their last 10 at Brunton Park suggests they’re very much in the driving seat here, particularly because Neal Ardley’s men have lost six of their last eight on the road.

Carlisle - 1pt @ 21/20

Reading v Leeds - 20:00

Reading are unbeaten in five at The Madejski Stadium – their most recent outing ending in a crucial, last-gasp victory against relegation rivals Wigan – but I’m backing Leeds to end this run.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men held their nerve to secure a massive 1-0 victory at Ashton Gate on Saturday, and with four wins from their last five, I reckon they’ll have enough to edge past this improving Royals outfit.
