The race for the title in the EFL Championship is reaching fever pitch and a huge Easter programme gets underway with a Good Friday feast.
Only goal difference is separating Leeds United and Burnley at the top with four fixtures to play and they both have winnable games on the road.
Leeds remain odds-on favourites for the crown and should have too much firepower for Oxford United, although the Us will be desperate for the points to keep them clear of the drop zone.
Burnley are the form team and they will be out to make it nine games unbeaten when they visit Watford.
Oxford United vs Leeds United top betting tips
Just when Leeds looked to be easing towards the title, a run of just one win in six games allowed Burnley and Sheffield United to close the gap.
They've since bounced back with successive victories over Middlesbrough and Preston, with BoyleSports making them 1/3 hot favourites to make it a hat-trick tonight.
Oxford's form has been up and down of late, with three wins and three defeats, but they've scored in their last eight so BTTS could be worth a punt at 21/20 with BoyleSports.
Joel Piroe has netted 15 times for Leeds this term but has drawn a blank in his last eight outings. That suggests he could be due a goal and the Dutchman is 11/10 for anytime scorer.
Watford vs Burnley top betting tips
Burnley have been a mean machine under Scott Parker and I'm surprised to see them as big as 9/4 with BetVictor in the outright title market.
With the Clarets in such superb form, BoyleSports make them 8/13 favourites for a win at Watford, who probably need to win all their remaining games to stand a chance of gatecrashing the play-offs.
Watford's last three home games have produced just two goals in total while Burnley have conceded just 13 times in the league all season. So that points towards a tight one here and combining BTTS no with under 2.5 goals pays evens in a BoyleSports bet builder.
Burnley's last two games have hit double figures for corners so there could be some value in backing over 9.5 flag kicks at 20/23.
Clarets midfielder John Cullen has picked up nine yellows this term and appeals for a card today at 7/2 with SkyBet.
Sheffield United v Cardiff City top betting tips
Sheffield United have picked a bad time to hit poor form, with three successive defeats leaving the Blades five points off the title pace.
All hope is not yet lost though as they have a massive game away to Burnley looming on Easter Monday. First they need to take care of Cardiff at home and BoyleSports make Chris Wilder's side 11/20 hot favourites.
Third-bottom Cardiff need the points just as much as their hosts as they bid to get out of the drop zone and a win could move them above Derby if the Rams drop points at home to Luton.
This has the potential to be a bit spicy so backing a busy day for the ref could pay off, with over 37.5 booking points paying 8/11 at Betfred. For better odds, Bet365 are offering 6/4 on both teams picking up two or more cards.
The Blades have won the corner count by a margin of at least six in their last four games so Sheffield United -3.5 in the corner handicap looks good at 7/5 with BoyleSports.

Oxford v Leeds 20:00
Over 2 corners in the first half for Leeds and over 2 corners in the second half for Leeds 21/20 Bet365
This has landed in three of Oxford’s last four home matches for the visitors – against QPR (3/4), Sheff Utd (5/5) and Coventry (5/6). Given they conceded seven, 10 and 11 corners in those matches, 7+ Leeds corners at 10/11 (Sky) is also an option. GL
Rennes, Livingston, Sporting Lisbon BTTS and win treble 57/1 🤞
