Championship Fixtures 18th September 2010 Part 3

Millwall v Watford
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett is up against the only club he played for in his career. He only played for ten years but even so, it’s nice to see a bit of loyalty. Kenny has also coached and managed Watford. Watford go into this match with an unbeaten away record.
Steve Morison is likely to start for Millwall.

Preston North End v Norwich City
Preston have only beaten Norwich twice at home in the last 39 years and wins of any kind are thin on the ground for Preston at the moment. Norwich lost their last game but they’re still only out of the play-off places on goal difference.
Paul Parry made his second comeback from a knee operation early last Saturday and went on to play the complete game against Burnley midweek. He’s said he’s likely to continue to have problems with his knee for the rest of his career so it’s not impossible he’ll be rested for this match. Craig Morgan, however, should play for Preston.
Andrew Crofts should be in Norwich’s starting line-up.

Sheffield United v Portsmouth
Sheffield United will be wanting to bounce back from a surprise 4-0 defeat to Scunthorpe United. Portsmouth also conceded four goals last week although they did manage to score one.
Ched Evans hasn’t scored since the first day of the season and if Sheffield Utd manager Gary Speed decides to make changes, that could include changes up front.

Swansea City v Scunthorpe United
Scunthorpe were predicted to struggle but they’re up in the top half of the table – three places ahead of Swansea but only on goal difference. The bad news for Scunthorpe is that Swansea have a 100% home record this season and have only conceded one goal.
Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor are likely to start for Swansea. Joe Allen did well in midweek when he started – David Cotterill was the player who dropped to the bench to replace him. David Cornell and Casey Thomas could both be on the bench although both are candidates to go out on loan.
