 Thursday, 20th Mar 2008 20:19 LFW looks ahead to the Easter weekends fixtures in the Coca Cola Championship. Surprisingly for an Easter weekend, there is only one round of fixtures this time around with the break coming so early this year. It all starts tomorrow with a live Sky evening game from the Valley, as Charlton take on West Brom. Charlton desperately need to get back on track as they have slipped alarmingly to 10th in the table. With cup semi finalist West Brom looking to get back to winning ways after last weeks 4-1 home defeat to Leicester, this should make for an interesting game. Moving onto Saturday and we have a Yorkshire derby from Oakwell. Barnsley will be looking to take their cup form into the clash with Sheffield United. Staying in Yorkshire and Sheffield Wednesday still find themselves in the bottom three despite some recent good form. The Owls have a tricky looking home game against Crystal Palace, who are just one point from the play off positions. I am sure the Owls fans will welcome ex Blades and now Palace boss, Neil Warnock, with open arms? Staying at the wrong end of the table and the bottom two look to be drifting away from the teams above them. Bottom club Colchester look all but doomed following another home defeat against Hull midweek and on Saturday, have a tough, but local trip to Norwich. Scunthorpe's home form has been pretty good of late and they will be looking to take full advantage this weekend. Following two defeats on the road, the Iron take on Ipswich at Glanford Park. Some interesting games at the top of table also this weekend, as leaders Stoke have a home game against Blackpool. Second placed Bristol City make the short trip to Ninian Park, for a derby of sorts, with Cardiff. There is a 6th v 3rd clash from Home Park as Plymouth take on Watford and in form, Hull City will be looking to prolonge their stay in the top six and also push towards the automatic places with a trip to the Walkers Stadium to take on the mixed bag, that is Leicester. LFW's preview of the R's trip to Wolves will be online shortly... Championship Fixtures in full;
