Another full slate of EFL action awaits us this weekend, with plotlines at the top and bottom of each division hotting up.
Our in-form lower leagues expert Adam Drury talks us through the card, picking out four selections and combining them for a 21/1 acca.
Sargent let this acca down last midweek when only playing 60 minutes and failing to score at home to Preston, but we have every reason to keep faith with him.
The Norwich hitman did strike at Hull last weekend, meaning he has netted in four of his five games since returning to the Canaries' starting XI after injury last month.
He should be able to get through 90 minutes after a full week's rest and he ranks second in the division for goals per game, so is an easy pick at a heavily odds-against price.
Stoke have kept one clean sheet in their last 10 away matches, so are unlikely to keep Sargent quiet for 90 minutes.
As long as Swansea's terrible run shows no sign of abating, we simply have to back their opposition.
The Swans, who fired manager Luke Williams this week, have lost eight of their last 10 Championship matches and are winless in four at home.
The Liberty Stadium is not a happy place currently and in-form Blackburn can take advantage.
Rovers have won consecutive matches since the departure of manager John Eustace to Derby and have only lost four of their last 11 on the road, so are worth backing in the draw no bet market.

Bolton games have gone goal-crazy since new manager Steven Schumacher got his feet under the table, with their last two outings ending in 4-3 and 3-2 victories.
Action at both ends has hardly been at a premium all season at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, with both teams scoring in nine of Wanders' last 11 home matches.
Leyton Orient are in fantastic form, scoring in 12 of their last 15 matches, all of which have been victories.
BTTS has won in four of their last six, including a 6-2 win at Exeter and a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup.
Towering Notts County forward Jatta has scored in four of his last seven home games – a solid enough run to back him for a strike against poor opposition.
Ten of the striker's 17 goals this season have come at Meadow Lane, while he has scored in all three of his home matches against bottom-five opposition.
Adding Tranmere to that list is well within his grasp, considering Saturday's visitors sit 22nd after eight straight league away defeats.
Nigel Adkins' men have conceded 21 goals across that run and it would be a surprise if Jatta does not get plenty of opportunities to add to that tally.
