Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday will both be managerless in the Sky Bet Championship on Boxing Day.
Boro beat the Owls 2-1 on Saturday, but dismissed boss Garry Monk that evening, while Carlos Carvalhal left the Owls on Sunday morning. Wednesday travel to Nottingham Forest, while Middlesbrough host Bolton.
Wolves have a seven-point lead at the top of the table ahead of their trip to Millwall, while Cardiff will hope to take advantage of any potential slip-ups against Fulham at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Derby moved up to third on Saturday and will hope to build on their good recent run at Hull, while Bristol City, in fourth, host Reading.
Leeds are back in the play-offs and travel to Burton, in a match that's live on Sky Sports Football, while Aston Villa, in sixth, head to Brentford in the other live match on Boxing Day.
Bottom-club Birmingham host Norwich, while Sunderland, who fell back into the relegation zone after being held by the Blues on Saturday, travel to Sheffield United.
Elsewhere, Barnsley face Preston and Ipswich meet QPR.
