Preston vs Leeds, 12.30pm – Live on Sky Sports Football

It has been a irritating spell for Preston. They are in place within the desk, however as a result of they began the season so properly it at all times feels tough when it turns a bit.

Leeds can be feeling unbelievable after their win over Ipswich. They can shut the hole to 4 factors, and know that Ipswich have to face Leicester later within the day. Things might get very attention-grabbing. Away win, and stress on the Tractor Boys.

Prediction: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds)

Hull vs Sunderland, 3pm

Hull have been glorious at some levels this season. At others they throw in irritating performances and find yourself with outcomes like those at Bristol City. But they’ve a number of younger gamers, so there can be some inconsistency.

Michael Beale mentioned his debut might have hardly gone worse, and he’s not fully incorrect. The end result towards Coventry on Saturday was a catastrophe. He wants his aspect to hit again shortly, however I believe they’ll be overwhelmed once more on Boxing Day.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Southampton vs Swansea, 3pm

Southampton claimed a hard-fought win at QPR on Saturday, and can be feeling fairly good as they appear up at Ipswich, who’re simply seven factors forward of them now. They will need to sustain with Leeds in placing that stress on.

Swansea took a dramatic late win over Preston of their final recreation earlier than Christmas. But it’s a massive ask for them to get something from St Mary’s. Home win.

Prediction: 1-0 (Sky Bet odds)

West Brom vs Norwich, 3pm

West Brom have simply dipped a bit when it comes to efficiency of their final couple of video games. Carlos Corberan admitted his aspect deserved to be overwhelmed at Middlesbrough on Saturday, they usually want to up their degree.

Norwich have climbed up the desk once more, and the disaster seems to be over below David Wagner. A win right here could be an actual assertion, however I believe the spoils can be shared at The Hawthorns.

Prediction: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Birmingham vs Stoke, 5.15pm – Live on Sky Sports Football

Birmingham can be so annoyed that they had been unable to maintain on at Plymouth, however they had been down to 10 gamers at Home Park, which is a troublesome sufficient place to play with 11 at instances.

Steven Schumacher started life at Stoke with a comparatively drab draw towards Millwall, and would most likely take one other of these at St Andrew’s on Boxing Day. But I’ve seen sufficient from Birmingham just lately to assume they need to edge this one.

Prediction: 1-0 (Sky Bet odds)

Ipswich vs Leicester, 7.45pm – Live on Sky Sports Football

This is a giant, massive recreation. It has grow to be extra vital for Ipswich after that end result at Leeds. The hole might properly be 4 factors over them and Southampton by kick-off. Which feels very slender in contrast to what it was earlier than.

Leicester can be enjoying with much less stress. They are sprinting away and I count on them to be champions this season. But I believe Ipswich can bounce again right here and take a draw.

Prediction: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)
