Weekend's best bets: Ten homes: Everton, Manchester City, Southampton, Brentford, Norwich, Charlton, Plymouth, Cambridge, Carlisle, Morecambe.
Pick of the draws: By beating Tottenham (home) and Liverpool (away), Brighton have put some distance between themselves and the Premier League's bottom three. They are playing well enough to deny Aston Villa, who are much improved from last season. Although Liverpool have lost that winning feeling at Anfield, they have recently won away at West Ham and Tottenham. They can hold on to fourth position by drawing at Leicester, who are just above them. Bournemouth, sixth in the Championship, caused an FA Cup upset by winning at Burnley in midweek but they may find Nottingham Forest a tougher proposition because Chris Hughton's team have revived recently. Rotherham, battling against relegation to League One, had a midweek setback against Cardiff but they should collect at least a point against Queens Park Rangers. In the Spanish League last weekend, Real Betis gave Barcelona a good game before going down 3-2. If they play as well at higher-placed Villarreal they'll get something.
Away days: Manchester United will be bitterly disappointed if they come away from woeful West Brom on Sunday with anything less than maximum points. Championship promotion challengers Swansea will deservedly start firm favourites at lowly Sheffield Wednesday. Home wins against Crewe (2-0) and Ipswich (2-1) have put League One Peterborough back in the promotion frame. I'm taking them to make it three consecutive victories when they visit Blackpool. Portsmouth, who are only one place below Peterborough, are better away than at home, which Crewe may discover. Promotion-chasing Tranmere, of League Two, surprisingly lost at home to Stevenage in midweek but I'm tipping them to make amends at bottom club Grimsby. The Scottish Premiership title may have gone but Celtic still have their pride and will probably see off St Johnstone.
Homes sweet homes: Southampton will be hurting after their 9-0 debacle at Manchester United and losing 3-2 to nine-men Newcastle and I have a feeling they'll take it out on Wolves. Inconsistency has let Charlton down in League One this season but they are still in with a shout for promotion and I think they'll be three points better off after playing Gillingham on Saturday. Plymouth followed a 2-2 draw at Portsmouth by winning 1-0 at Accrington in midweek and they'll fancy their chances against Fleetwood.
Weekend pools info: Celta Vigo v Elche (No.27 on coupon) is being played on Friday and is therefore void.
