Best draws: Wolves v Fulham, Luton v Preston, Cambridge v Exeter, Lincoln v Forest Green, Sutton v Barrow.
Weekend's best bets: Six aways: Norwich, Fleetwood, Bolton, Gillingham, Airdrieonians, Scunthorpe.
Weekend's best bets: Ten homes: Arsenal, Brighton, Manchester City, Wigan, Accrington, Sheffield Wednesday, Northampton, Walsall, Dunfermline, Halifax.
Pick of the draws: Wolves have lost one of their best players in Conor Coady and promoted Fulham, who held Liverpool to a 2-2 home draw in the Premier League last Saturday, can take advantage of his absence. Championship side Preston sprang to life when they won 4-1 at Huddersfield in the League Cup in midweek. At the same time, Luton, their opponents on Saturday, were knocked out by Newport, of League Two, and are still awaiting their first victory of the season. League One Exeter, 11 goals in their past two matches, look unstoppable but it would be foolish to underestimate Cambridge, who last week defeated Millwall in the League Cup. Lincoln held Portsmouth to a draw at Fratton Park last weekend before beating Doncaster 3-0 away in the League Cup. They won't be fazed by the visit of Forest Green. League Two Barrow, three wins from three games, are the surprise package of the season so far and I fancy them to extend their unbeaten start at Sutton.
Away days: Relegated Norwich have failed to impress so far but they can get their Championship season up and running at Hull, who lost at League Two Bradford City in the midweek League Cup. Fleetwood, of League One, have defeated Plymouth and Wigan in their past two matches and I believe they'll make it three consecutive victories at Morecambe. Bolton, eight goals in their past two fixtures, have sent out a message and will probably be too strong for promoted Port Vale. Gillingham's 2-0 win at Wimbledon in the League Cup may be a turning point for them and I can see the Gills coming away from Tranmere with three points. Airdrieonians, top of Scottish League One and 4-0 home winners over Falkirk, look a sure thing at Queen of the South while Scunthorpe, who have dropped into the National League, are recommended at Maidenhead, who were well beaten at Notts County last Saturday.
Homes sweet homes: Manager Graham Potter continues to extract the maximum out of Brighton. Having won 2-1 at Manchester United last weekend, they can get the better of rejuvenated Newcastle. Walsall's top-of-the table placing in League Two is well deserved. On Saturday they host Stevenage, who have also won their opening three games. I believe ground advantage will be the crucial factor here. Halifax, of the National League, wouldn't have expected to lose 2-0 at Barnet on their opening weekend of the season but I'm tipping them to put things right against Torquay.
