There are two big games at the top end of League One on Saturday, while Leeds United face a trip to Hartlepool United.

Norwich City's barnstorming run of eight wins in a row has lifted them to the top of the table, but Paul Lambert's side face a tricky test this weekend.

Lambert takes the Canaries to Millwall, who have lost only once at home this season and will be out to avenge a 2-0 defeat at Carrow Road on Boxing Day.

Leeds' FA Cup adventure was brought to an end in midweek and Simon Grayson will be keen to follow up last week's win over Colchester United with three points at Hartlepool United.

Charlton Athletic are also in the mix for automatic promotion, but travel to fifth-placed Swindon Town, who have lost just once in 12 games in League One.

Huddersfield Town have not lost at home in the league this season and will be looking to push into the play-off spots with victory over Carlisle United.

MK Dons are another team aiming to make it into the top six and Paul Ince takes his men to the division's bottom club Stockport County.

There will be the proverbial relegation six-pointer at Prenton Park as Tranmere Rovers play host to Oldham Athletic, who have won once in 11 games and have scored just 20 goals in 25 fixtures this season.

Dan Seaborne is in line for a return to his former club as Southampton seek to enhance their outside play-off hopes with victory at Exeter City.

Bristol Rovers are looking to string together a winning run to gatecrash the top six and Paul Trollope's side head to Walsall.

Wycombe Wanderers will be out to inject fresh impetus in their survival bid by beating Yeovil Town at home, while fellow strugglers Brighton & Hove Albion head to Leyton Orient.

Brentford face Gillingham at Griffin Park, while promotion-chasing Colchester United are not in action until Monday night when they meet Southend United in a local derby.
