Stoke v Middlesbrough

Stoke were unlucky to lose 3-1 at Huddersfield on Saturday but they can respond with a home win over Middlesbrough, who are still searching for their first victory of the campaign.

Reading v Blackburn

Blackburn are the only Championship team with a 100 per cent record and they can preserve it with a victory at struggling Reading.

West Brom v Cardiff

West Brom have taken just two points from three games despite playing some excellent football but their luck can change against Cardiff, who were beaten 2-1 at Reading in their most recent away game.

Dynamo Kyiv v Benfica

Benfica were impressive 7-2 aggregate winners over Midtjylland in the Champions League third qualifying round and they can get the better of playoff round opponents Dynamo Kyiv in Lodz.
