Best draws: West Ham v Tottenham, Nottingham Forest v Fulham, Wimbledon v Wigan, Hartlepool v Harrogate, Rochdale v Sutton.
Weekend's best bets: Six aways: Manchester City, Wolves, Swansea, Plymouth, Livingston, Rangers.
Weekend's best bets: Ten homes: Arsenal (Friday), Crystal Palace, Everton, Bournemouth, Coventry, Accrington, Ipswich, Sunderland, Wycombe, Walsall.
Pick of the draws: West Ham were worthy 1-0 winners at Everton last weekend but Tottenham have recovered well from their dispiriting 3-1 Premier League defeat at Arsenal and can take a point from this London derby on Sunday. The appointment of Steve Cooper to manage Nottingham Forest seems an inspired one. Since he's been in charge, Forest have shot up the Championship table. Victories over Blackpool (home) last Saturday and Bristol City (away) in midweek have put them in the mood to face high-flying Fulham. Wimbledon, in League One, are showing that familiar fighting spirit and I reckon they'll hold promotion contenders Wigan. Hartlepool have adapted well to League Two after last season's promotion and won't be overawed by the visit of Harrogate, who have stumbled recently. Although Sutton's climb up the division was halted by a midweek home loss to Swindon, they should get something from their trip to Rochdale.
Away days: Manchester City, 5-1 winners at Club Bruges in the Champions League, look full of menace and goals and it's hard to see Brighton halting their progress. Wolves are still on a high after fighting back from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 away last Saturday. They've already won three Premier League away matches and a fourth, at Leeds on Saturday, is a real possibility. Swansea's 3-0 home win over Cardiff last Sunday was their best display this season and I fancy them to prevail at goal-shy Birmingham. Plymouth's first place in League One is no fluke and they are highly recommended at Morecambe. In the Scottish Premiership, Livingston's 3-0 win at St Johnstone last Saturday was impressive and they'll be confident of success at bottom club Ross. Leaders Rangers will be annoyed at failing to beat Hearts at home last weekend. Expect them to take it out on St Mirren on Sunday.
Homes sweet homes: Arsenal will be smarting at being held to a home draw by Crystal Palace last Monday and will be eager to make amends against Aston Villa, who are one place below them in the Premier League. Accrington, of League One, had another good result in midweek, defeating Charlton 3-2 away. They will probably relish playing Portsmouth, for whom the wheels have come off. Pompey have conceded eight goals in their past two fixtures. League Two Walsall, having taken four points from their last two away games against Leyton Orient (0-0) and Oldham (3-1), will be approaching their match v Barrow with confidence.
