'CITY AIMING FOR TOP SPOT SATURDAY

Posted on: Wed 08 Sep 2010

The Championship returns on Saturday following the two week international break with a full quota of fixtures.

Cardiff City v Hull City at Cardiff City Stadium is arguably the plum game this weekend, with the Bluebirds looking to top the table with a win and the Tigers desperate to claw some points following a rocky start to life back in the Championship. As of Wednesday morning there were less than 1,000 tickets left for the game, so if you're yet to buy yours, make sure you call the ticket office on 0845 345 1400 or go to our eticketing page now!

Elsewhere in the Championship on Saturday, QPR and Ipswich Town will both be hoping they'll be topping the table come 5pm. Both sides are currently on ten points along with Cardiff, but face tricky games at home to Middlesbrough and away to Portsmouth respectively. Rangers will be favourites to beat a 'Boro side who are yet to step up to the mark of being promotion favourites, while Ipswich will be confident of doing a job at Pompey who occupy bottom spot as it stands.

Championship new boys Norwich City, Leeds United and Millwall have all had encouraging starts following promotion from League One last May. The Canaries welcome Mark Robins' Barnsley to Carrow Road - a side who have also had a good start this year - while Leeds and Millwall welcome Swansea City and travel to Nottingham Forest respectively.

As for where you may see some fireworks on the Football League show on Saturday, look no further than Turf Moor where Burnley take on Lancashire rivals Preston North End. Recently relegated Burnley will be favourites for this one, but the Lilywhites will be up for the challenge as they meet the Clarets for the first time since the 2008/09 campaign.
