QPR will want to put off-field troubles behind them in a capital derby, while in-form Burnley eye the play-offs.\n<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest can address their recent wobble at the City Ground and Swansea have the opportunity to cement their standing in second.<\/p>\n

League leaders Queens Park Rangers<\/b> have been rocked by an FA charge regarding their transfer dealings, but can turn their focus back to the pursuit of points when they play host to London foes Crystal Palace<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Swansea<\/b> have dropped four points in their last two games, allowing the chasing pack to close in, and Brendan Rodgers will be keen to see his side returning to winning ways on the road at struggling Derby<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Back-to-back victories have kept Leeds<\/b> in the hunt for a top-two finish and their next fixture sees them play host to inconsistent Ipswich<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest<\/b> have endured a five-match winless run and need to snap out of that slump against Doncaster<\/b> if they are to be certain of retaining a standing inside the play-off places.<\/p>\n

Charge<\/h4>\n

Another setback for Forest could open the door to Burnley<\/b>, who face Millwall<\/b>, with the Clarets having won five of their last six to rekindle hopes of securing an immediate return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Leicester<\/b> have suffered three defeats in four to see their charge up the division brought to an abrupt halt and must be wary of a Scunthorpe<\/b> side that are battling for their second tier lives.<\/p>\n

Hull City’s<\/b> play-off push has also taken a couple of blows in recent weeks, but they remain well-placed and will fancy their chances against a Coventry<\/b> team that has taken only one win from their last 15 games.<\/p>\n

Portsmouth’s<\/b> impressive winning streak was ended by Bristol City last time out and they must look to go again when they welcome lowly Middlesbrough<\/b> to Fratton Park.<\/p>\n

Micky Adams finally secured his first victory as Sheffield United<\/b> manager in midweek and will go in search of back-to-back successes when the Blades go to Watford<\/b>.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Cardiff<\/b>, who have lost their last two, will attempt to close on the automatic promotion places again when Barnsley<\/b> make the journey to South Wales.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
