Birmingham v Sheffield United

Birmingham have won one of their last ten Championship matches, against bottom side Barnsley. They face a Sheffield United side who have won six of their last eight league encounters.

Getafe v Levante

Levante have won just one league game this season and Getafe have turned their form around of late, winning three of their last five including a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid.

Marseille v Angers

Marseille's loss at the hands of Lyon was their first in their last nine games and they should be able to get the better of an Angers side who have won just two of their 11 away games.

Manchester United v Middlesbrough

Manchester United have conceded in five of their last seven games and could do so again as they host Middlesbrough, who look a different team under Chris Wilder.
