- Newcastle United vs Everton – Possible wrong pricing from the bookies here, with Newcastle – on a run of W4 D0 L0 on home soil – a slight outsider. The Magpies sit seventh in the form table (W4 D1 L3), while Everton are in fourteenth (W3 D1 L4). The Toffees have won 4/14 on the road this term.
- Bolton Wanderers vs Millwall – In their last six games, Bolton (W1 D0 5) have scored just three goals and conceded two or more in five of them. They will be without the suspended Craig Noone, David Wheater and Jason Lowe, as well as the injured Ben Alnwick and Yannick Wildschut; they have started 110 games between them this term. Millwall won the Expected Goals count against Norwich last time out, and are playing better than their results suggest.
- QPR vs Stoke City – QPR have lost five of their last six, have a formline of W1 D0 L7 and have conceded 20 in those eight games. Stoke finding a way under Nathan Jones; after three consecutive draws, the pay-off came with a 2-0 win over Forest last time out. The Potters have avoided defeat in 12/17 on the road this term.
- Wycombe Wanderers vs Sunderland – Sunderland reached the final of the Checkatrade Trophy in midweek; a real boost for the club after hard times. Jack Ross can pair Will Grigg and Charlie Wyke up front, with George Honeyman and Aiden McGeady in excellent form too. Wycombe have lost four on the spin, and conceded two or more in four of their last half-dozen.
- Port Vale vs Mansfield Town – January 19: that was the last time that Port Vale won a game. The time prior to that? November 27. The Valiants are terrible, and Mansfield – with attacking options including Tyler Walker, CJ Hamilton and Jorge Grant – have the firepower and form (W6 D1 L2) to get the job done.
