Sky Sports duo Simeon Gholam and David Prutton take a look ahead at Gameweek 43 in the Sky Bet Championship, predicting the results of every fixture; listen to the podcast below or via any of your regular podcast providers.
Leicester fail to turn screw in promotion race
Leaders Leicester missed the chance to move clear at the top of the Championship as they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat away to relegation-threatened Plymouth, thanks to Mustapha Bundu’s 21st-minute winner.
Second-placed Ipswich remain level on points with the Foxes, with Leeds a point further back ahead of their games on Saturday with all three clubs currently having four matches left.
Managerless Argyle climbed to 16th on the back of their first home win in seven, under the caretaker management team of director of football Neil Dewsnip and first-team coach Kevin Nancekivell and now sit five points clear of the bottom three.

Saturday should provide Leeds with a sure thing
It has been another tricky week for Leeds. But, even with promotion out of their own hands, the feeling remains that winning their four remaining games will be more than enough.
That quartet begins against Blackburn, who are arguably the worst team in the league aside from Rotherham right now. At Bristol City they were abysmal and they have picked up just two calendar wins all year. How one of them was a 5-1 victory at Sunderland, no one will ever know.
This should be an easy pickings of a three points, but in the Championship anything can always happen.
It is live on Sky Sports Football from 12pm on Saturday; Kick-off 12.30pm.
Sky Sports’ David Prutton’s prediction: “It’s been a frustrating week for Leeds. They were well beaten at Coventry, and then probably should have done more to beat Sunderland – even taking into account some questionable decisions that went against them. But after seeing Blackburn at Bristol City, I don’t see them putting up a huge fight. 3-1”
