Pick of the draws: Manchester United's limitations were exposed when they went out of the Champions League to Barcelona. They may struggle to recover from that chastening quarter-final defeat. Everton, their hosts, beat Arsenal at home more convincingly than the 1-0 scoreline suggests. Newcastle and Southampton went a long way to Premier League safety with fine victories last weekend (Newcastle, 1-0 at Leicester, Saints, 3-1 at home to Wolves) and I don't see either side losing this relegation battle. Airdrieonians, mid-table in Scottish League One, are better away than at home and can hold Montrose, who are two places and five points better off. Although Peterhead are top of Scottish League Two, they have faltered lately, which should give Elgin, who are seventh, more of a chance. Stirling and Cowdenbeath are two teams who appear on the upgrade and a point apiece is the likeliest result here.

Away days: Liverpool seem an irresistible force in both Premier League and Champions League and will surely be too strong for Cardiff, even though the Welshmen raised hopes of avoiding relegation with a deserved 2-0 triumph at Brighton in midweek. Watford will be handicapped at Huddersfield by the absence of striker Troy Deeney, who is banned for three games, but should still be too good for the Premier League's bottom club. Watford's 10 men were better than Arsenal's 11 last Monday. Last weekend's defeat against Newcastle aside, Leicester have responded well to new manager Brendan Rodgers and they are worth a punt at inconsistent West Ham. Luton's long unbeaten run was ended by Charlton last Saturday but they are determined to clinch promotion to the Championship and victory at Accrington will bring them closer. In Scottish League One, Forfar, third, are tipped to prevail at Stenhousemuir, who are last, and I'm taking Annan, of Scottish League Two, to record their ninth away win of the season at Queen's Park.

Homes sweet homes: Manchester City, still reeling from the manner of their Champions League exit to Tottenham, play Spurs in the Premier League on Saturday and I fancy them to gain revenge. Kilmarnock have made great strides under Steve Clarke in the Scottish Premiership and will strengthen their hold on third place with victory over Aberdeen, who are fourth. If Partick, who are bottom of the Scottish Championship, can draw at leaders Ross, as they did last Saturday, then they can beat Alloa, who are only four points better off.

Pools info: Chelsea v Burnley (No 4 on coupon) will be judged by the pools panel and Ayr v Ross (11) is void.
