Leaders Wigan face what appears to be a comfortable home clash against Notts County. Bristol City are away at Wycombe and should keep their 18 match unbeaten run intact.
Oldham in 4th place have a tricky trip onto the Wirral to face Tranmere while Crewe entertain Mansfield. Despite Crewe losing at home on Sunday you'd have to put your money on a home win.
Of course City have two objectives. 1 to close the gap on Wigan and 2, to get back into second place and move ahead of Bristol City.
Come on Notts County and Wycombe. It's about time Wigan and Bristol tasted defeat.
