Derby County welcome Swansea City to Pride Park on Wednesday night as they go in search of a result that will lift them out of the bottom three.
The Rams were unable to capitalise on their dominance against Stoke City last time out, drawing 0-0, while Swansea City turned over rivals Cardiff City with a 2-0 win away from home.
We say: Derby County 1-2 Swansea City
Cooper spoke of Swansea reaching the peak of their powers against Cardiff on Saturday, and we expect them to continue that form against a Derby side still struggling for rhythm. We expect the Swans to prove too strong for Rooney's men, taking all three points back to Wales.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Cardiff vs. Birmingham (Wednesday, 7.00pm)

Cardiff City will be looking to put their disappointing South Wales derby defeat behind them when they take on Birmingham City on Wednesday evening.
The Bluebirds had been on a great run prior to losing 2-0 to their bitter rivals, while Birmingham also saw an upturn in form come to an end last time out with defeat to Watford.
We say: Cardiff City 1-1 Birmingham City
Cardiff had an off-day against Swansea and will know the importance of quickly hitting back if they are to compete their playoff aspirations alive.
Birmingham may also have tasted defeat last time out, but they have a good away record and will be confident of taking a point back to the West Midlands.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Middlesbrough will host Luton Town on Wednesday night as they look to secure their fourth straight win at the Riverside, scoring eight and conceding only one in their last three.
Millwall were the most recent team to leave the Boro empty-handed, losing 3-0 on Saturday, while Luton were able to overcome a Preston North End side by the same scoreline.
We say: Middlesbrough 2-0 Luton Town
Boro have begun to find real momentum at home, winning two of their last three home matches 3-0. Though Luton have been in good form too, we expect Boro to have too much for their mid-table rivals.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Blackburn Rovers will welcome Rotherham United to Ewood Park on Wednesday, with three points on offer for two sides who have shown inconsistency of late.
The hosts find themselves on a run of three games without a win and fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Norwich City last weekend, while Rotherham broke their six-game winless run with a 2-0 victory over Bristol City.
We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Rotherham United
Despite Rovers' poor recent form, we see them finding a way to turn it around and get the win against a porous Rotherham side. If Mowbray's men can show their attacking threat, they should come through this one without too much trouble.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Coventry vs. Huddersfield (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Coventry City play host to Huddersfield Town at St Andrew's having put together a seven-match unbeaten streak in the Championship.
Despite winning three of their last five matches, the Terriers make the trip to the West Midlands on the back of a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth.
We say: Coventry City 2-1 Huddersfield Town
While Huddersfield will field a stronger side than they did at the weekend, it is difficult to look past Coventry. Robins is aware that his Sky Blues side are now respected in this division, something he will stress to his players in a bid to keep them on the right track.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Reading vs. Norwich (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Two promotion hopefuls meet on Wednesday night as Reading host league-leaders Norwich City at the Madejski Stadium.
Norwich secured an impressive 2-1 win away to a dangerous Blackburn Rovers side last time out, while Reading managed an 89th-minute winner to see off Queens Park Rangers.
We say: Reading 2-2 Norwich City
Both sides' bright start to the campaign means that they can start entertaining thoughts of promotion to the Premier League, and this could well be a cracking game with goals at both ends. The in-form Pukki will lead City's charge, but we expect both sides to cancel each other out, ending with the spoils being shared.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
