Saturday

13:30 Everton vs Chelsea 3.60 3.40 1.95

Tim Cahill is still away on international duty, but Louis Saha is still out with injury. Victor Anichebe and Phil Jagielka remain injury doubts.

Carlo Ancelotti is unlikely to risk Frank Lampard in this clash, as he is still doubtful with a calf injury. Alex, Benayoun and Zhirkov remain sidelined.

14:00 Aston Villa vs Blackburn 1.83 3.40 4.50

Darren Bent is cup-tied having featured for Sunderland in the FA Cup, so Emile Heskey is set to start up front. Clark, Delph and Walker are back in contention, but Luke Young and Ireland remain sidelined.

Ryan Nelsen is out with a knee problem, but Grella, Nzonzi and Andrews return to contention following the lengthy spell on the sidelines.

16:00 Bolton vs Wigan 1.66 3.50 5.00

Adam Bogdan and Rodrigo Moreno are likely to start after impressing against York, while David Wheater and Ivan Klasnic should also be in the side.

James McCarthy and Franco Di Santo will not be risked having just returned from injuries, while Gary Caldwell returns from a ban. Roberto Martinez has announced he will field a second string line-up in this clash, so you should really consider backing Bolton here.

18:15 Southampton vs Manchester United 7.10 4.60 1.44

Captain Dean Hammond and Adam Lallana remain injury doubts for the Saints, but new signing Danny N’Guessan is eligible to play.

Sunday

14:00 Wolverhampton vs Stoke 2.38 3.20 3.30

Sylvain Ebanks-Blake could be in contention, but Kevin Foley is definitely out. Craddock, Mouyokolo, Elokobi and Edwards are available again.

Ryan Shawcross starts his two-match ban, whereas Danny Higginbotham remains an injury doubt.

15:00 Notts County vs Manchester City 7.00 4.33 1.44

Alan Judge is out after breaking a bone in his foot, but the hosts are hoping Mike Edwards will be fit to play.

Adam Johnson is out with injury, but Micah Richards should return to the side. Edin Dzeko could be handed FA Cup debut.

17:30 Fulham vs Tottenham 2.39 3.04 3.38
