Best draws: Bolton v Wolves, Barnsley v Leeds, Millwall v Crystal Palace, Scunthorpe v Chesterfield, Southport v Fleetwood.


Five aways: Tottenham, Blackpool, Brighton, MK Dons, Southend.


Nine homes: Arsenal, Manchester United, West Brom, Burnley, Derby, Reading, Sheffield United, Walsall, Aldershot.


Pick of the draws: Wolves showed their resilience when their 10 men held out for a point at Arsenal. Relegation-haunted Bolton have not drawn this season but that sequence may end on Saturday. Leeds have stumbled in the Championship recently and Yorkshire rivals Barnsley won't be in the mood to do them any favours. Crystal Palace don't score many but don't concede many either, so expect a dour stalemate at Millwall. Chesterfield, bottom of League One, are due a change of luck and could get it at Scunthorpe, who have slid into the relegation zone themselves. Fleetwood's progress in the Blue Square Premier has been one of the success stories of the season and I'm taking them to finish 2011 by sharing the spoils at fellow promotion contenders Southport.


Away days: Tottenham are starting to look genuine contenders for the Premier League title and will surely be too good for promoted Swansea. Take a chance on Ian Holloway's Blackpool inflicting Birmingham's first home defeat of the season in the Championship. Blackpool warmed up for this fixture by winning 3-1 at Barnsley on Boxing Day. I'm tipping Brighton to recover from recent setbacks when they visit bottom club Coventry. MK Dons are red-hot in League One at the moment and should be backed at Brentford, who are indifferent at home. In League Two, promotion-chasing Southend will be confident of returning to winning ways against out-of-form AFC Wimbledon.


Homes sweet homes: I fancy West Brom, bolstered by holding Premier League leaders Manchester City to a goalless draw, to continue climbing the table by defeating Everton at the Hawthorns. Burnley have had a terrific December in the Championship and will probably take maximum points off Hull. Second-placed West Ham have a lot of injured players, so don't be surprised if Derby, 1-0 winners over Leeds on Boxing Day, take advantage. Two stoppage-time goals enabled lowly Walsall to beat high-flying Sheffield Wednesday in League One on Boxing Day. That should give them the confidence to dispatch struggling Rochdale.
