David Prutton makes optimistic Nottingham Forest prediction

The Championship continues this weekend with things heating up at both the top and bottom ends of the table.

Last weekend saw a changing of the guard at the summit, with Leeds United taking top spot after a 2-0 win over Barnsley at Oakwell, and Swansea suffering their first defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest .

Charlton were also beaten, but Preston and Bristol City continued their impressive form, while Queens Park Rangers made it three wins in a row.

At the bottom, Stoke's poor run of form continued, as did Huddersfield's, despite Danny Cowley taking over the reigns at the John Smith's Stadium.

Sabri Lamouchi's Forest have received plenty of praise in recent weeks and Prutton believes they will continue their impressive run of form against the Tykes.

The Reds have scored some remarkable victories away from home, but at the City Ground they have proved less impressive.

But that hasn't stopped Prutton from predicted a 3-1 win on Trentside.

And here's a look at what Sky Sports' EFL expert, David Prutton, is expecting this weekend:

Leeds v Derby: 2-0

Bristol City v Swansea: 1-1

Millwall v QPR: 1-2

Sheffield Wednesday v Fulham: 2-1

Wigan v Charlton: 1-1

Birmingham vs Preston: 1-2

Brentford vs Stoke: 2-1

Cardiff vs Middlesbrough: 0-0

Luton vs Hull: 0-1

Nottingham Forest vs Barnsley: 3-1

West Brom vs Huddersfield: 2-1
