There are two matches in the Championship on Sunday with Blackpool hosting Peterborough and Bristol City travelling to Cardiff. Three of the four sides won their opening game and so we will take a look at what might happen this weekend.
Blackpool v Peterborough
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has cut a disconsolate figure since failing to keep the club in the Premier League and his pre-season comments about lacking motivation will have hardly inspired the Bloomfield Road faithful.
But a 1-0 win at Hull on the opening day of the season will certainly have cheered him up a little and he will welcome Posh to the north west looking to make it six points out of six.
The midweek Carling Cup penalty shoot-out defeat to Sheffield Wednesday will have already been forgotten as the main task this term is to get back to the Premier League.
Holloway has lost a number of his stars over the summer but should have Matt Phillips and Matt Gilks back for the clash, while most of the side that missed the midweek reverse will come back into the starting XI.
Phillips has been on England duty at the Under-20s World Cup in Colombia but may well net a starting berth, while namesake Kevin Phillips looks set to start up front, but Ashley Eastham is out following his straight red card at Hillsborough.
Darren Ferguson’s men kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 success over Crystal Palace and were then involved in a seven-goal Carling Cup thriller with Stevenage.
But the son of Sir Alex would doubtless swap that midweek win for three points against the Tangerines and he will have Grant McCann back in the squad, who has now returned from international duty with Northern Ireland.
New loan signing Josh Thompson has now received international clearance and may well feature after making the move form Celtic.
Both sides are ambitious and a draw seems the likely result here.
Odds: Blackpool 5/6, Peterborough 3/1, draw 11/4
Cardiff v Bristol City
The new Cardiff era got underway in decent fashion with a 1-0 victory over West Ham United and they were also victorious in a midweek Carling Cup clash with Oxford United.
New boss Malky Mackay will welcome a Bristol City side that lost 3-0 at home to Ipswich in their first match and sit at the foot of the table.
The Scot will be looking to double his points tally and welcomes back eight players from international duty, while Stephen McPhail is available after recovering from a virus.
City’s Carling Cup tie with Swindon was postponed due to the riots and they should have Marvin Elliott and Liam Fontaine back for Sunday’s encounter in Wales as they look for their first points of the season, while Kalifa Cisse, Albert Adomah and Neil Kilkenny all return from international duty.
Cardiff narrowly missed out on promotion once again last term but, with a new manager and a few new faces, it appears as though they are ready for another tilt at reaching the big time and they are tipped to take all three points from this one.
Odds: Cardiff 4/6, Bristol City 4/1, draw 11/4
