All matches 3pm Saturday

Premier League

Hull City v Swansea

Team news: Steve Bruce is forced into at least two changes, Michael Dawson having been ruled out for up to five weeks with a torn hamstring and Tom Huddlestone due to start a four-game ban following his red card against Chelsea a week ago.

Championship

Fulham v Sheffield Wednesday

Team news: Jacques Maghoma and Jose Semedo are pushing for a start after featuring on the bench last week. Lewis Buxton and Kamil Zayette remain sidelined.

Huddersfield Town v Birmingham City

Team news: Murray Wallace serves a one-game ban, meaning Anthony Gerrard or Lee Peltier could get the nod to partner captain Mark Hudson. Joel Lynch could also be risked, though with such a busy festive period the central defender’s groin injury may be given a tad longer to recover. Joe Murphy and Harry Bunn are both out.

Ipswich v Middlesbrough

Team news: Lee Tomlin and veteran defender Jonathan Woodgate are both available for selection and pushing for a start. Rhys Williams is back in training but not yet available.

Nottingham Forest v Leeds United

5.15pm

Team news: Giuseppe Bellusci remains a major doubt with hamstring trouble, while Rodolph Austin has returned to training but lacks match sharpness. Zan Benedicic and Aidy White remain on the list of long-term absentees.

Wigan v Rotherham United

Team news: Lee Frecklington (virus) will be assessed after missing the draw with Nottingham Forest. Strikers Jonson Clarke-Harris, Jordan Bowery and Matt Derbyshire are all vying for start but Kirk Broadfoot remains sidelined with a shoulder injury.

League One

Barnsley v Leyton Orient

Team news: Pete Ramage required stitches in an eye injury sustained in Tuesday’s win at Chester but is expected to start. Dale Jennings is a doubt while Lewin Nyatanga could feature.

Bradford City v Scunthorpe United

Team news: Billy Knott is pushing for a recall in central midfield but, otherwise, Phil Parkinson is likely to stick with the players who have helped City win five of their last six games. That means further disappointment for James Hanson, with Jonathan Stead again preferred up front with Billy Clarke.

Swindon v Doncaster Rovers

Team news: Dean Furman has returned to training and is available for selection. Nathan Tyson is not fit after missing training due to personal reasons. Rob Jones, Jamie McCombe saw specialists in the week.

Sheffield United v Walsall

team news to come...

League Two

Bury v York City

Team news: Luke Summerfield should return after missing last week’s defeat to AFC Wimbledon with a bug. Goalkeeper Michael Ingham remains a major doubt, however, with his on-going shoulder problem.
