Birmingham vs Millwall, Saturday 12.30pm

The Birmingham train continues to gather momentum, delivering a spectacular start to the season. Despite their recent cup exit, their primary focus remains on maintaining their winning streak in the league.

Millwall and Gary Rowett proved their critics wrong by securing a victory against Stoke in their previous match. Returning to another familiar ground, Rowett will be cautious of the growing anticipation at St Andrew's. A closely fought match is expected, resulting in a draw.

Prediction: 1-1 (according to Sky Bet odds)

Sunderland vs Southampton, Saturday 12.30pm - Live on Sky Sports Football

Currently, Sunderland is actively searching for a striker to bolster their squad before the transfer window closes. This acquisition could greatly impact their season, particularly if Ross Stewart departs. Southampton manager Russell Martin will also experience a sense of relief once the window shuts, as he will finally have a clear understanding of his squad composition for the season. With Deadline Day approaching, it is incredibly difficult to predict the outcome of Saturday's game. However, one thing is certain - both teams will adopt an attacking approach, and goals are expected to be scored.

Prediction: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)

Saturday 2nd September 12:00pm

Kick off 12:30pm

Mark Robins will undoubtedly be pleased with the progress Coventry has made this season, especially considering the significant rebuild the team had to undergo after losing their two key players.

Watford less so. They haven’t scored now since those four on opening day, and should have got something out of Blackburn last week.

Prediction: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Coventry vs Watford, Saturday 3pm

Leeds supporters are in for a delightful season, judging by the impressive performance of their front four in the previous week's victory. On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday has yet to secure a single point and remains the only team to have suffered four defeats this season. It seems unlikely that their fortunes will improve at Elland Road, so a home win is anticipated.

Prediction: 2-0 (Sky Bet odds)

Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday, Saturday 3pm

Leicester continues to follow the same pattern. Despite not fully convincing, they managed to secure another three points. "Ominous" is a term I've repeatedly utilized to describe their performances, and it remains fitting.

Hull could pose the most difficult challenge thus far. Under Liam Rosenior, they are making progress and may believe they have a chance of causing trouble at the King Power stadium. However, Leicester should have the necessary quality to secure their fifth consecutive victory.

Prediction: 2-1 (according to Sky Bet odds)

Leicester vs Hull, Saturday 3pm

Rotherham is currently experiencing significant defensive difficulties as they are the sole team to have allowed double-digit goals. This situation presents a challenging match-up against the team that has scored the most goals thus far.

Unfortunately, Norwich will be without the exceptional player Josh Sargent, who has showcased impressive performances until now. It appears that he will be absent for an extended period, which is truly disheartening for him considering his excellent start to the season. Nonetheless, Norwich should possess adequate strength to overcome Rotherham.

Prediction: 0-2 (Sky Bet odds)

Rotherham vs Norwich, Saturday 3pm

Swansea vs Bristol City (Sat 12.30pm): 0-1

Ipswich vs Cardiff: 2-1

Middlesbrough vs QPR: 1-0

Plymouth vs Blackburn: 2-2

West Brom vs Huddersfield: 2-0
