BURTON ALBION VS BIRMINGHAM CITY (SATURDAY, 4:45AM AEST)

The big talking point: Usain Bolt to Burton Albion? It’s possible. Chairman of Albion, Ben Robinson has suggested that he’d be interested in giving a trial to the 100m world record holder.

The Brewers sit bottom of the Championship table having lost all three of their fixtures to date, so they need all the help they can get.

What will happen: Albion will concede. After yet another sending off in their midweek fixture against Middlesbrough, The Brewers have been forced to play a man down for their last two matches. Their free-flowing attacking football may help them in the attacking third but defensive errors have been a feature for Burton Albion early in the season and any mistakes will be pounced on by a lethal Birmingham side.

What won’t happen: Burton won’t lift themselves off the bottom of the ladder. Early signs suggest Burton are in for a tough season ahead as they look to consolidate their place in the Championship.

FFT predicts: 1-3

SHEFFIELD UNITED VS BARNSLEY (SATURDAY, 9:15PM AEST)

The big talking point: The Tykes midweek performance. Barnsley ended Nottingham Forest’s 100% start to the season as they notched their first win of the season. They’ll look to regroup and match that performance come this weekend against Sheffield United.

What will happen: A nail biting encounter. The Blades will see this match as an opportunity to kick start their campaign so expect them to come out firing early in this encounter. On the other hand, The Tykes will be confident of securing another win as they look to surge up the ladder.

What won’t happen: A high scoring encounter. The Blades only have the one goal to their name this season while Barnsley’s lack of depth in attack means that they don’t have a prolific goalscorer in their ranks.

FFT predicts: 1-1

ASTON VILLA VS NORWICH CITY (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)

The big talking point: Is Steve Bruce the right man for the job? The Villa boss is struggling, the Midlands outfit have only registered a point from their first four fixtures. Low on confidence, they’ll face a Norwich side who got their first win of the campaign last time out against QPR at Carrow Road.

What will happen: Villa will struggle. Steve Bruce’s men will find it difficult to deal with The Canaries attacking talent. If they don’t get a result this week, expect a response from the Villa faithful, a group who aren’t shy to voice their opinion.

What won’t happen: A Villa cleansheet. Despite the signing of renowned defender, John Terry, they’re sitting second last on the table and have been leaking goals left, right and centre.

FFT predicts: 2-3

Villa's Socceroo Mile Jedinak is unlikely to be fit

BOLTON WANDERERS VS DERBY COUNTY (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)

The big talking point: Derby County’s latest signing, Tom Lawrence. The 23-year-old English striker joins The Rams from Leicester City. The young striker arrives with a great reputation and he’ll look to endear himself to the fans in their upcoming match against Bolton.

What will happen: Derby will dominate. Fresh after securing their first victory of the campaign, The Rams will arrive at Macron Stadium with their tails up. Bolton have struggled so far, this campaign and the visit of Derby will come at the wrong time for the side predicted to face the drop.

What won’t happen: Bolton won’t roll over. The Lancashire outfit have performed admirably in their opening fixtures but luck hasn’t been on their side. Gary Rowett’s men will be tested to the limits if they want to come away with all three points from this encounter.

FFT predicts: 0-2
