Best draws: Chelsea v Tottenham, Everton v Leeds, Reading v Bristol City, Carlisle v Doncaster, Livingston v Ayr.
Weekend's best bets: Six aways: Liverpool, Bournemouth, Oldham, Hull, Dunfermline, Stranraer.
Weekend's best bets: Ten homes: Manchester City, Southampton, Derby, Norwich, Watford, Bolton, Bristol Rovers, Gillingham, Stockport, Queen's Park.
Pick of the draws: Premier League leaders Tottenham, conquerors of Manchester City last Saturday, and third-placed Chelsea are two of the in-form sides in the top flight. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who played under Jose Mourinho when both were at Stamford Bridge, won't want to be outsmarted by his old boss and deadlock is the most likely outcome. Everton returned to winning ways at Fulham but will probably find Leeds tougher opponents. Fourteenth position does not do Leeds justice and they were unlucky not to beat Arsenal last Sunday. I'm taking third-placed Bristol City to come away with something at Reading, who have fallen from first to sixth in the Championship. League One Doncaster will start favourites at Carlisle in the FA Cup second round but I'm tipping Carlisle, sixth in League Two, to take the tie to extra time and penalties. In the Scottish League Cup, Ayr, who are doing well in the Championship, could easily deny Premiership strugglers Livingston victory.
Away days: It's impossible to ignore the claims of Liverpool at Brighton in the Saturday lunchtime game. The Merseysiders, despite being without several injured players last Sunday, swept Leicester aside and I expect them to do something similar to Brighton. Bournemouth, in second place, have lost only once in the Championship this season and I can't see Rotherham threatening that record. Oldham have recorded two consecutive away wins in League Two. In the FA Cup on Saturday they go to Bradford City, where I think they'll make it three. There's no stopping League One leaders Hull at the moment and they'll be confident of FA Cup success at League Two Stevenage. Dunfermline should make Scottish League Cup progress at Arbroath's expense and Stranraer, in Scottish League Two, are a confident selection at bottom club Brechin.
Homes sweet homes: Southampton, flying high in the Premier League, are a delight to watch these days and well worth a punt when they host inconsistent Manchester United. Although Derby are at the foot of the Championship, they showed signs of improvement when losing narrowly at Bristol City last Saturday and can gain three badly needed points against Wycombe, who are also in the drop zone. Two National League teams, Stockport and Yeovil, contest the FA Cup second round on Saturday. Stockport are enjoying a far better season and it will be surprising if they don't make use of home advantage.
Pools info: I scored five draws out of ten last weekend: Leeds v Arsenal (0-0), Luton v Blackburn (1-1), Accrington v Lincoln (0-0), Barrow v Forest Green (2-2) and Scunthorpe v Morecambe (1-1).
