This is Leicestershire -- Leicester City return to action tomorrow after a two-week international break with a trip to Ipswich. How will Nigel Pearson's men fare against the Tractor Boys? That's the question we are asking Leicester Mercury sports writer James Sharpe, who gives us his prediction and also casts his eye over all this weekend's Championship fixtures. Don't agree? Think you can do better? Have a go yourself. Put your predictions in the comments section and see if you can beat him. It's 3pts for a correct score and just 1pt for the correct result. Mercury reader heath34uk came out on top last week – his two correct scores and six correct results giving him an impressive 12pt return. But it was fellow reader Alanprichard who jumped to the top of the league table and became the first pundit to reach the 50pt mark.--------------------
*IPSWICH v CITY* Portman Road, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* It is safe to say that Portman Road has not been the most fruitful of hunting grounds for City in recent years. They have won just once there in their last five trips. But City have responded from their previous two defeats, both before international breaks, in ruthless fashion. They will lack the creativity of the suspended Anthony Knockaert though but do have Jamie Vardy and Chris Wood back in contention. Depending on how City line up, I think they will have enough to grind it out - just. *Prediction:* 0-1
--------------------
*DONCASTER v YEOVIL* Keepmoat Stadium, Friday, 7.45pm *Verdict:* With just three goals between them from their last four games apiece, it would suggest that goals will be at somewhat of a premium tonight. Doncaster have gone four without a win while Yeovil have won just one of their last 14 league games. Both sides will be low on confidence and I don't know if either will have enough to come out on top. *Prediction:* 1-1
--------------------
*SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY v HUDDERSFIELD* Hillsborough, Saturday, 12.15pm *Verdict:* Just when it looked like Wednesday were going to get their season off and running after a 5-2 victory over Reading, they came crashing back to earth with a 3-0 defeat at Derby. Huddersfield will welcome back James Vaughan from suspension which will give them a great boost. They do tend to toil on the road, though, having not scored more than one goal in a game away from home all season. With this in mind I back Wednesday, the draw specialists, to grind out their ninth stalemate of the season. *Prediction:* 1-1
--------------------
*BIRMINGHAM v BLACKPOOL* St Andrew's, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* This is quite a tricky game to predict as both sides are in pretty unpredictable form. Blues had the firepower to smash four past Millwall but then have the capacity to concede the same without reply to Leeds. Lose to Charlton at home, beat Huddersfield away. Same goes for Blackpool, who did wonderfully to beat Forest 1-0 but then they lost 3-2 at home to Ipswich. Call it fence-sitting if you will, but I'm going for a draw. *Prediction:* 2-2
--------------------
*BLACKBURN v READING* Ewood Park, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* Blackburn have conceded just one goal in their last four home games, which has seen them pick up two wins and a draw. But they have only scored two themselves and I think this will be crucial against a Reading side that have only failed to score once on the road in the league this season. This is a great chance for Reading, who still lie sixth, to pick up their first win in four. *Prediction:* 1-2
--------------------
*BOURNEMOUTH v DERBY* Dean Court, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* Derby are continuing to enjoy life under Steve McClaren with three wins and a draw since he took over. Their only defeat came at the hands of QPR. Bournemouth's home form has been inconsistent of late with three defeats and two wins in their last five. Derby are good away from home and I expect that to continue. *Prediction:* 1-2
--------------------
*LEEDS v MIDDLESBROUGH* Elland Road, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* The form book only points one way here. Leeds have won their last three home games while Boro have suffered a hat-trick of defeats on the road. They have only won once on their travels, in fact, and I don't see them adding to their tally here either. *Prediction:* 2-0
--------------------
*MILLWALL v BARNSLEY* The Den, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* I can't think of many more uninspiring fixtures than this one. I suppose its only saving grace is that both sides are – pardon the phrase – scrapping for their lives. Millwall are without a win in six but are still unbeaten at home in their last four. Barnsley have the worst away record in the division with just one point from seven trips this season. It's going to be scrappy but I back the hosts to nick it. *Prediction:* 1-0
--------------------
*NOTTINGHAM FOREST v BURNLEY* City Ground, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* Now this clash is much more enticing. Forest will go into this game full of confidence after their victory at the King Power Stadium before the break. But Burnley have the best away record in the division and have lost none of their last five on their travels, winning four. I don't know whether it's just my inherent pessimism but I just have a feeling Forest will nick a late point. *Prediction:* 2-2
--------------------
*QPR v CHARLTON* Loftus Road, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* Chris Powell's Charlton go into this clash having won their last two away games. However they face a much sterner test tomorrow against a QPR side who are yet to taste defeat at home. I can't see them starting now either. Charlton have the best defensive record of any team in the bottom half but I don't this will be enough to avoid defeat. *Prediction:* 1-0
--------------------
*WATFORD v BOLTON* Vicarage Road, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* After a shocking start to the season, Bolton are finally starting to show the kind of form people were expecting. Unbeaten in seven, back-to-back victories, they go to face a Watford side who have lost their last two at home. Watford's firepower will always give them a chance but I think Bolton might just get something from the game. *Prediction:* 2-2
--------------------
*WIGAN v BRIGHTON* DW Stadium, Saturday, 3pm *Verdict:* Both these two sides come into the game in identical league form. Back-to-back wins with two draws before that. But it is Wigan's home form that I think will be the key. Owen Coyle's men have not lost at home all season, including in the Europa League. Brighton have scored just five goals on the road all season, with three of those coming last time out. Home win for me. *Prediction:* 2-1
--------------------
*REMEMBER:* Doncaster v Yeovil kicks off at 7.45pm tonight, so make sure you get your predictions in before then for your prediction for this match to count. Reported by This is 4 hours ago.
