Sheffield United v QPR

QPR have dropped out of the Championship playoff places after suffering five defeats in their last six games and things may go from bad to worse against Sheffield United.

The Blades have moved above the Londoners in the table and are unbeaten in ten home league games at Bramall Lane, winning seven of those contests and conceding just twice.

Wigan v Accrington

Wigan can go top of League One with victory and they should claim the three points they crave at home to Accrington.

The Latics have won eight of their last 12 league games on their own patch and should see off a stuttering Stanley side who have been beaten on six of their last seven away trips.

Forest Green v Mansfield

Forest Green have the League Two title at their mercy but their performance levels have dipped since the beginning of February and they had gone seven games without a win prior to recent 1-0 victories over Colchester and Scunthorpe.

On recent evidence, Rovers look vulnerable against a Mansfield side who have put themselves in the automatic promotion reckoning following just three defeats in their last 24 matches.

Benfica v Liverpool

Liverpool won home and away to Portuguese league leaders Porto in the group stages and should have few concerns getting the better of Benfica, who sit third and someway adrift of Porto in the Primeira Liga.

The ruthless Reds have won seven of their eight matches in this season’s competition and should be capable of taking a lead back to Anfield.
