Nottingham Forest v Bristol City
6pm

Nottingham Forest look assured of a Sky Bet Championship playoff place and the Tricky Trees can retain their slim chance of automatic promotion by beating Bristol City at home on Wednesday.

Sabri Lamouchi's men were unlucky not to claim maximum points against Sheffield Wednesday in their first outing since the restart and eased to victory over Huddersfield at the weekend.

Hotshot striker Lewis Grabban returned to form against the Terriers and Forest should be backed to beat the Robins, who are winless in seven games and heading for a mid-table finish.

Birmingham v Huddersfield
6pm

Birmingham have drifted in the betting for their home clash with Huddersfield but the Blues, who will part company with manager Pep Clotet at the end of the season, could prove decent value as a result.

Clotet's men have lost only twice against Championship opposition since the turn of the year, and they are taking on a team who have lost six of their last eight league games on the road.
