Preston v Leeds - Double Chance - home win or draw
Paul Heckingbottom and his Preston North End troops have developed a convenient knack of taking something from just about every Championship game they play.

Blackburn v Luton - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Few will have missed the impressive form of Blackburn Rovers of late. They've won 5 consecutive Championship outings, and J. Eustace will be desperate to keep that run going as they face Luton Town at Ewood Park (Blackburn, Lancashire) on Saturday afternoon.
