Fulham v Peterborough

Championship leaders Fulham suffered a surprise setback at the weekend – losing 2-1 at home to Huddersfield – but the Cottagers should have no problem returning to winning ways against struggling Peterborough.

The Championship is characterised as a fiercely competitive division but the clash between Fulham and Posh looks a mismatch given that 43 points separate the sides.

Fulham are the division's top scorers with 79 goals, of which 31 have been netted by Aleksandar Mitrovic. In fact, the Serbian has scored eight more goals than the entire Peterborough (23) side.

Marco Silva's men have suffered three home defeats this season, but Saturday's loss to Huddersfield was harsh on the Cottagers, who bossed the shot count 20-6.

Fulham are usually much more clinical and they could run up a big score against Peterborough, who have installed Matthew Etherington as their caretaker-manager following the Monday morning resignation of Darren Ferguson.

Posh's last match under Ferguson was a 1-0 loss at Derby - their 14th defeat in 16 away games this term. It was goalless at half-time at Pride Park but Peterborough could concede in the early stages at Fulham, setting the tone for a tough night's work.

Stoke v Luton

Stoke will need a strong finish to the season if they are to revive their flagging playoff hopes and they should take a step forward by defeating Luton at the bet365 Stadium.

Key attackers Josh Maja and Nick Powell are back in contention for the Potters and can provide the necessary extra quality against a Luton side who have lost two of their last three Championship away games.
