Middlesbrough vs Bournemouth, Saturday 12.30pm - Live on Sky Sports Football

Middlesbrough got a decent point against Stoke last week and have their eyes firmly set on the play-off places again. That is what Chris Wilder came to the Riverside to do.

Bournemouth are suffering a real dip. Five without a win and the likes of West Brom and Blackburn right on their shoulders again. Pressure may start to tell, and that winless run could go on at the Riverside.

Prutton predicts: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Blackburn vs Birmingham, Saturday 3pm

Blackburn are flying at the minute. They have won four on the bounce and head into the weekend just four points off the automatics. What a season they are having under Tony Mowbray.

Birmingham are bang in mid-table. Eight points off the play-offs and eight points above the bottom three. They tend to pick up results when you don't expect them to, but Blackburn should be too good right now.

Prutton predicts: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Nottingham Forest vs Hull, Saturday 3pm

Nottingham Forest have picked up back-to-back wins and Steve Cooper would have been very satisfied to take all three points from Swansea last week. They have the play-offs in their sights.

Hull are unbeaten in six now, although they would have been frustrated not to have taken the victory against Bristol City last week. They will want to keep their unbeaten run going, but I think this is where it comes to an end.

Prutton predicts: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)
