You might as well flip a coin for this one.

Norwich have won just three of their last 15 home matches in all competitions.

Forest have one victory at Carrow Road in the second tier in 16 attempts.

The league table doesn't offer much help either - it's 14th against 15th.

I'd leave this game out of your accas ladies and gents.

Could Hull's forgotten man return to fire them to Championship safety?

Striker Abel Hernandez has been out since August following his recovery from an Achilles tendon tear but returns to the bench tonight, and has a better than one in three goalscoring record in league games since joining in 2014.

The Tigers are three points above the drop zone, while Millwall's nine-game unbeaten run has thrust them into the top half - their hosts need the points more but the Lions are playing with freedom.

Promotion-hopefuls Derby have wobbled in recent weeks, picking up three points from their last five matches.

The Rams are still looking good for the play-offs, but the chasing pack are closing in.

QPR just can't string a good set of results together.

Ian Holloway's side are nine points clear of danger in 16th, but a third-straight season of mid-table obscurity seems inevitable.

"Cardiff is a team in a different moment. We are in a moment where we are growing," Barnsley boss Jose Morais told BBC Radio Sheffield.

It's a tricky task for the visitors, who play their third of four successive away games this evening.

At Deepdale it's a battle of two play-off contenders with identical records over the last five games: WLDDD.

Preston are ninth, three points behind Bristol City in sixth, who beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 at the weekend to arrest an alarming slump over January and February.

"They've got a similar model to us in recruiting lower league players and younger players and they've nurtured them very well," City boss Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol.

"It never surprises me with a club like Preston because they get more decisions right than they get wrong."

Sunderland face the prospect of back-to-back relegations unless they start winning - and quickly.

A 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest, Birmingham's fifth league loss in a row, saw Steve Cotterill given the boot.

Of the five fixtures played in the Championship, victories for Bristol City, Preston and Fulham kept them nicely in the play-off picture.

But it was a different story for Birmingham City...

Good evening. Have you defrosted yet?

Following the weekend's frozen EFL fixture list, it returns tonight with a spring in its tail.

There are 11 Championship games, a sprinkle of lower league action, and not a snowflake in sight.

Let's get down to business...
