PRESTON NORTH END VS READING (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)

The big talking point: Can Reading register back to back wins? After beating Aston Villa 2-1 at home in their midweek fixture, The Royals will look to grab maximum points against Alex Neil’s Preston side.

What will happen: Reading will triumph. Jaap Staam’s side will be buoyed by their victory over Villa and will travel to Deepdale in good spirits as they look to overcome an out of form Preston outfit.

What won’t happen: A shock result. This should be a comfortable match for favourites, Reading as they look to propel themselves into the top half of the Championship ladder.

FFT predicts: 0-3

QPR's Socceroos midfielder Massimo Luongo

QUEENS PARK RANGERS VS HULL CITY (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)

The big talking point: Will Hull bounce back after their midweek defeat to highflying Wolves? Tigers boss, Leonid Slutsky praised the West Midlands side for their performance as he labelled them the best team in the Championship.

What will happen: A response from Hull. Their midweek defeat was merely a blip in their campaign and Slutsky’s men will put things right against Ian Holloway’s, QPR. The Hoops will also be looking for a result as they look to bounce back after their loss to Norwich. 

What won’t happen: Holloway naming an unchanged team. Going into their midweek encounter at Carrow Road, the QPR boss had named an unchanged line up for the third game running for the first time since 2011. Their poor display will most likely mean that changes are needed going into this match at Loftus Road.

FFT predicts: 1-3

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS VS CARDIFF CITY (SUNDAY, 12AM AEST)

The big talking point: The top of the table clash. All eyes will be on these two sides as they go head to head at Molineux. With both sides impressing so far, this match has all the signs of a blockbuster. Will Wolves attacking flair overcome Neil Warnock’s pragmatic approach?

What will happen: A tight affair. If Neil Warnock’s 50 years in football have taught him anything, it’s that you’ll take what you can get. The Welsh outfit will be conservative in their approach and will be happy with a point on their travels against a resurgent Wolves side.

What won’t happen: A dominant Cardiff performance. The Bluebirds will most likely sacrifice possession and will instead look to punish Wolves on the counter attack. With plenty of pace up front including Junior Hoilett on the wing, Cardiff know that they can inflict some serious damage their opponents.

FFT predicts: 2-2

Leeds' Kiwi striker Chris Wood has been the subject of much speculation

SUNDERLAND VS LEEDS UNITED (SUNDAY, 2:30AM AEST)

The big talking point: Sunderland, yet to taste defeat. The Black Cats have shown signs of improvement under their new boss, Simon Grayson. After an impressive away performance at Norwich, the Tyneside outfit held on for a draw at Hillsborough.

A side on the up, Sunderland look revitalised under new management as they return to Stadium of Light for their encounter with Leeds.

What will happen: Pretty football from Sunderland. Under Grayson, the side have become easier to watch on the eye. The Black Cats fans will be in for a treat as they get to watch their side compete and have a real go this campaign.

What won’t happen: A Chris Wood hat trick. With plenty of transfer speculation surrounding him, the New Zealand international has been heavily linked with a move to Burnley in the Premier League. The Leeds target man will most likely be distracted by the speculation and his performance will show.

FFT predicts: 2-1
