Leicester are four points clear in the Championship and can be backed at evens (william hill) to see off a Millwall side with no win in their last four and without a manager. The Lions are 31/10 (bet365/BETVICTOR) for victory while the draw is 27/10 with those firms. Derby are the new name in the automatic promotion spots and Steve McClaren has done a great job as the Rams have gone nine games unbeaten, winning eight of these. They will be a popular bet at 23/20 (CORAL/william hill) to win at home to Wigan though the Latics are unbeaten in the last four and Uwe Rosler has done a good job in his short spell at the club.

The bet I like in this division comes in the game between Burnley and Huddersfield at Turf Moor where I like the visitors to get something. The Clarets have had a remarkable first half to the season though things have started to get a little tougher for them and they have recorded just two wins from their last nine Championship games. Huddersfield meanwhile hit Yeovil for five last time out and recorded draws with in-form duo Derby and Brighton. They can be backed alongside the draw in the double chance market at 10/11 (william hill).

Following a draw between Wolves and Leyton Orient at Molineux it is Brentford who are the new leaders in League One and the Bees are buzzing right now with six straight league victories and 11 from their last 12. The departure of Uwe Rosler and the replacement with Mark Warburton has been handled without any fuss and the London side are 13/8 (ladbrokes/william hill) to win away to Peterborough. Posh have won just one of their last four though at home they have already beaten Wolves this season.

Orient will have been happy with a point at Wolves and will look to push on against Bristol City. The Robins though have won their last two games and could prove tricky opponents.

Wolves meanwhile are 4/5 (TOTESPORT/betfred/ladbrokes) to win away to Tranmere with the Merseysiders having lost four of their last five games. The best bet from the division though comes from the game at Walsall where the Saddlers play host to Sheff United. I like the Blades to get something from the game as they are now unbeaten in their last eight games under Nigel Clough and will fancy their chances against a Walsall side with just two wins in their last eight. You can get United in the draw no bet market at odds of 13/8 (WILLIAM HILL) which looks great value.

Three teams are now tied on 41 points in League Two with Chesterfield 11/10 (WILLIAM HILL) to win away at bottom of the table Northampton likely to be a popular bet with many. Scunthorpe meanwhile were excellent against Oxford last time out winning and are 7/5 (bet365/BETVICTOR) to see off Rochdale though Dale are also in form with just two defeats from their last eight. Burton are in the top form in the division though with no defeats in their last nine games and they are 31/20 (bet365) to see off Mansfield.

Portsmouth are slowly but surely finding their feet under Richie Barker having taken four points from their last two games and they can be backed at 9/10 (bet365) on the Asian Handicap where a 0.5 start will pay out on a Pompey win or draw. Southend are no mugs though they have just three wins from their last nine at home so look worth taking on.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Huddersfield and draw double chance v Burnley, 10/11 (WILLIAM HILL)
SILVER: Sheff United, draw no bet market v Walsall, 13/8 (WILLIAM HILL)
BRONZE: Portsmouth +0.5 on Asian Handicap v Southend, 9/10 (BET365)
