Championship leaders Blackburn Rovers will hope to set the tone for the weekend as several clubs go in search of their first points away from home.

Nottingham Forest have drawn all three of their matches on the road this season and will face a Leeds United outfit striving for consistency at Elland Road. Ipswich Town and Charlton Athletic are both in the bottom three at this early stage of the campaign and Paul Jewell's side are one of only two teams not to win at home this season. Cardiff City claimed a first away win at Millwall on Tuesday and return to the capital to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Watford are still adjusting to a mammoth change in personnel following their summer takeover and appointment of Gianfranco Zola as manager, and Bristol City are the visitors to Vicarage Road on Saturday. On Sunday, Nigel Pearson comes up against his former club when Leicester City's 100 per cent home record will be tested by Hull City.
