Lincoln City are on the trail of league leaders Cardiff City, with the home side only one point behind the Bluebirds. Lincoln City are in tremendous form, with the Imps going unbeaten in their last 15 matches, and the hosts have lost only once at home all season, winning 12. Blackpool’s form has been relatively mixed under Ian Evatt, as the Tangerines have only won once in their last six league matches.

Bolton to win

Bolton Wanderers have had the advantage over Exeter City in recent meetings, winning the last two.
Ipswich to win
Ipswich Town has the second-best home record in the Championship with only one defeat at Portman Road this season, along with 10 wins and five draws. The Tractor Boys head into this game with some confidence, given their solid victory away at Vicarage Road in midweek against Watford. Swansea City grabbed a late draw against Preston North End in midweek; however, the visitors’ recent away form puts them at a disadvantage. The Jacks have lost four of their last six away matches, and against Ipswich Town, they have lost the last three meetings between the two sides.
Wrexham to win
Charlton Athletic failed to pick up a win in midweek against a struggling West Bromwich Albion side, as the Addicks came away with a 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns. The home side for this fixture are now winless in their last three matches, with a 2-2 draw against Southampton and a 3-1 defeat at home to Portsmouth.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions, with wins over Ipswich Town (5-3 & 1-0), Portsmouth (2-1) and a draw against Bristol City (2-2).
Crewe to win
Crewe Alexandra are in good form, with the home side currently sixth in the league standings with 12 games to go. The home side have won four of their previous six league matches, with victories against Swindon Town (1-2), Gillingham (1-0), Crawley Town (0-1) and Colchester United (1-0).

Bromley to win
Bromley are leading the way in League Two, two points clear of the closest challengers, Cambridge United.

Liverpool to win
Arne Slot's side are in good form, winning four of their last five games, while they've lost only one of their last ten at Anfield in all competitions, with that sole defeat coming at the hands of Manchester City. Liverpool has a great record against the Hammers, with the Reds having won the last four meetings between the two sides. West Ham United have not beaten Liverpool since 2021, which was 10 meetings ago. The Irons' record against Anfield is less than desirable, with their last win taking place in 2015. West Ham United head into this game with three defeats in their last five games away from home in the Premier League.
Manchester City to win
Leeds United recorded a credible draw against Aston Villa away from home last time out; however, that draw means the Yorkshire club have only won twice in their last 10 league fixtures. Leeds United were beaten in the reverse fixture between the two clubs.Manchester City are enjoying a good run of form since late November, suffering just one defeat in their last 15 league games. The Citizens head into this weekend's clash with Leeds on the back of four wins from their last five.
