Barnsley v Derby County 7.45pm

Chris Martin has been at the heart of Derby's mini-revival, scoring in each of the last two matches, and could be the Rams' main threat at Oakwell. The powerful target man can stay on the goal trail against Barnsley, who have conceded at least twice in each of their last five home games.

Brentford v Bristol City 7.45pm

Brentford have been struggling to convert performances into points but look worthy odds-on favourites to defeat injury-hit Bristol City at Griffin Park. Ollie Watkins's hat-trick sealed a 3-1 win at Barnsley on Sunday and his surge in confidence may be bad news for the Robins.

Cardiff v QPR 7.45pm

The first two months of the season have been a struggle for Cardiff and they are hard to trust against QPR, who are three points better off. Bermudan striker Nahki Wells has starred for the Hoops, scoring five goals, and looks overpriced to net the opener in Wales.

Charlton v Swansea 7.45pm

Charlton put a huge effort into defeating Leeds 1-0 on Saturday and they may struggle to reach the same heights when taking on Swansea at the Valley. Swansea have gone three league games without a win but their slick football could expose the Addicks, who are still missing star striker Lyle Taylor.
