Brentford vs Derby, Wednesday 7.45pm
It's nine games without defeat for Thomas Frank's men going into Wednesday's game but they probably should've picked up a fourth straight win on Saturday, when they conceded late on to draw with Blackburn.
Things are finally heading in the right direction for Derby, too. They've taken five points from a possible nine since Wayne Rooney took over on an interim basis and the win over Millwall was their first in over two months. This test might come a little too soon for them, however.
Prutton predicts: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)
Bristol City vs Blackburn, Wednesday 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football
It is so tight in the top half of the Championship at the moment and a sequence of wins could propel any one of 10 or so teams to within reach of the automatic promotion places. Bristol City are one of those teams but the fact their winning streaks have preceded a disappointing run of results has let them down somewhat so far.
As was the case last season, Blackburn are on a quiet climb towards the play-off places. Their attacking options make them prime candidates to get there, particularly if they can keep Adam Armstrong injury-free. Away win here, for me.
Prutton predicts: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds)

Norwich vs Nottingham Forest, Wednesday 7.45pm
Norwich surprised a few when they were held by Coventry and then well beaten by Luton at Kenilworth Road but they got back to winning ways with a hard-fought win over Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend and their title push is back on track.
Since the end of the November international break, things just haven't been clicking for Forest. The defeat to Reading made it five games without a goal and left them hovering above the relegation zone they could soon find themselves in. This should be a pretty routine win for Norwich.
Prutton predicts: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds)
