Pools tips for this weekend January 28-29

Ten draws: West Brom v Norwich, Tranmere v Huddersfield, Yeovil v Preston, Accrington v Gillingham, Barnet v Crewe, Burton v Oxford, Ebbsfleet v Mansfield, Motherwell v St Johnstone, Brechin v Arbroath, Forfar v Dumbarton.

Best draws: Tranmere v Huddersfield, Yeovil v Preston, Barnet v Crewe, Motherwell v St Johnstone, Forfar v Dumbarton.

Five aways: Manchester United, Charlton, Carlisle, Fleetwood, Morton.

Nine homes: Derby, Hull, Sunderland, Brentford, Rochdale, AFC Wimbledon, Bristol Rovers, Gateshead, Luton.

Pick of the draws: Tranmere have drawn six of their League One home matches; Huddersfield have drawn seven away. I expect another stalemate on Saturday. Preston are having to adapt to the ways of a new manager in Graham Westley, formerly of Stevenage, and I cannot see them gaining more than a point at relegation-threatened Yeovil. There is little to separate Barnet, who have pulled eight points clear of the League Two drop zone, and Crewe, who have won four of their last five games. Motherwell are not the force they were earlier in the season in the Scottish Premier League and can be held by St Johnstone. Lowly Forfar beat the Scottish second division leaders Cowdenbeath last week and I'm backing them to frustrate Dumbarton.

Away days: Manchester United usually rise to the occasion and I believe they will do it again in the FA Cup fourth round at Anfield, where Liverpool have stumbled on numerous occasions this season. Charlton, the runaway leaders of League One, will surely have too much for goal-shy Exeter. Carlisle, who sit just outside the play-off places, are well equipped to take advantage of Hartlepool's wretched home form. Blue Square Premier League leaders Fleetwood, with 12 away victories already this season, will feel confident travelling to mid-table Forest Green while in the Scottish first division Morton can inflict more pain on bottom club Queen of South.

Homes sweet homes: Take a punt on Derby, the in-form team of the Championship, to knock Premier League Stoke out of the FA Cup. Nigel Clough's side have won their last five home matches. Rochdale, with a new manager in John Coleman at the helm, can surprise Bury in League One. AFC Wimbledon have halted their slump in League Two and are a good bet to beat Aldershot, who keep sliding. Bristol Rovers can follow their coupon-busting win at promotion-seeking Cheltenham last Saturday by defeating Bradford City.
