Fulham vs Birmingham City, iFollow, 3pm BST

Fulham got their season back off to an awful start with two losses on the bounce after the restart. They followed that up, though, with a 2-1 win over QPR in the West London derby during the week to turn the tide a little in their favour. Championship top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic is still banned for another two games following his mindless off the ball foul against Leeds two games ago. The Cottagers won without him in the week but they can do it again this afternoon? They're a comfortable fifth in the standings but will want to improve their league position before all is said and done in order to secure an easier route through the play-offs.

17th-placed Birmingham City should be obliging opponents, with little left to play for themselves. Though not yet mathematically safe from the drop, the chaos beneath them means they will probably not encounter too many issues on that front between now and the end off the season. Still, a win in London would no do them no harm whatsoever.

Kick-off is at 3pm BST and the game is being shown on iFollow in the UK - the cost for UK residents is £10 per game, but just £6 for overseas viewers, so if you use a VPN you can get it cheaper. See below for watching details where you are.

It costs a tenner to see your team, but it only costs £6 if you are watching from overseas. So a smart tip is to get yourself a handy VPN, and set your location to overseas and pay less. We recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
