Best draws: Brentford v Tottenham, Hull v Reading, Accrington v Lincoln, Barrow v Sutton, Leyton Orient v Northampton.
Weekend's best bets: Six aways: Newcastle, Millwall, Nottingham Forest, Burton, Salford, Port Vale.
Weekend's best bets: Ten homes: Liverpool, Manchester City, Bournemouth, Derby, Sheffield United, Fleetwood, Milton Keynes Dons, Bradford City, Exeter, Notts County.
Pick of the draws: Tottenham will be eager to make up for last Saturday's home lapse against Brighton but they meet a Brentford side in fine form and with an opportunity of climbing into the top half of the Premier League. I expect Reading to move nearer safety in the Championship by taking a point at Hull. Reading will be encouraged by their fightback at home to Swansea last Monday, coming from 4-1 down to draw 4-4. Lincoln, in League One, are playing better now the pressure is off. They beat Cheltenham 3-0 at home last Monday and I fancy they'll hold mid-table Accrington. A 4-0 home victory over leaders Forest Green and a 2-2 draw at Salford suggest that Barrow, scrapping to avoid relegation from League Two, have woken up in the nick of time. I believe they'll make life difficult for promotion-seeking Sutton. Leyton Orient's rapid improvement also cannot be ignored and it's given them a fighting chance against Northampton, who are just outside the automatic promotion places.
Away days: Manager Eddie Howe has turned around the Premier League fortunes of Newcastle, for whom the threat of relegation is a distant memory. I'm tipping them to take maximum points at Norwich, who, in contrast, look certain to drop down to the Championship. Millwall are the dark horses aiming for promotion to the top flight and appear far too strong for Birmingham, who have conceded 10 goals in their past two fixtures. Nottingham Forest, still in the hunt for automatic promotion, have that away banker look at Peterborough, who are virtually down. In League One, Burton, surprise 2-0 home winners over high-flying Rotherham in midweek, will travel to second bottom Doncaster with confidence. Salford, ninth in League Two, will start firm favourites at second bottom Oldham while Port Vale, who are third, lost 3-1 at home to Bristol Rovers last Monday but are capable of returning to winning ways at Walsall.
Homes sweet homes: Because Fulham finally clinched promotion to the Premier League by beating Preston 3-0 at Craven Cottage in midweek, they may take their foot off the pedal at Bournemouth, who are well placed to go up with them. The Cherries played their best football this season to win 3-0 at Coventry last Monday. Although Derby's relegation to League One has been confirmed, it doesn't seem to have adversely affected their spirit and they are worth backing against the consistently mediocre Bristol City. Whoever wins the Fleetwood-Wimbledon game on Saturday will probably avoid relegation to League Two. As Fleetwood are in slightly better form I'm siding with them.
