Weekend's best bets: Ten homes: Newcastle, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Luton, Swansea (Friday), Accrington, Portsmouth, Exeter, Newport, Tranmere.
Pick of the draws: Arsenal's seven-match unbeaten run in the Premier League was ended in freakish circumstances at Molineux in midweek and they will be determined to avoid a repeat in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off at Aston Villa. Bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United are starting to pick up points, which gives them a puncher's chance against Chelsea, who have won their first two matches under new manager Thomas Tuchel. Like many teams in this strange season, Leicester are more comfortable away than at home and will be disappointed with anything less than a point at Wolves. Despite Derby's damaging 3-0 Championship defeat at Rotherham in midweek, don't be surprised if Wayne Rooney's players hold the better-placed Barnsley. Roma are matching Juventus stride for stride in the Italian League and can share the spoils.
Away days: Beating Tottenham (home) and Liverpool (away) will have done wonders for Brighton's morale and I fancy they'll make it a hat-trick of wins at Burnley on Saturday. The match of the weekend is at Anfield on Sunday where Premier League leaders Manchester City are the visitors. Unlike reigning champions Liverpool, City have been magnificent lately and I believe they'll come out on top. Nobody underestimates the quality of second-placed Brentford in the Championship. Having beaten Wycombe 7-2 at home last Saturday and won again in midweek, the Bees will probably come away from Middlesbrough with three points. League One leaders Hull look an away banker at bottom club Burton and Cambridge, who top League Two, will be confident of success at Barrow. Mid-table Walsall will be hot favourites at Southend, who prop up the division.
Homes sweet homes: Southampton, who were thrashed 9-0 at Manchester United in midweek and are in free-fall, visit St James's Park on Saturday when hosts Newcastle will never have a better chance of gaining maximum points. Luton and Huddersfield are almost next to each other in the Championship and this is a fixture where I think ground advantage will count. Norwich, the clear Championship leaders, have failed to score in their past two matches and Swansea, who are bang in form, are well equipped to cash in on that.
