| Birmingham's home form is good, and Newcastle's away form not brilliant, but I think the Premiership club will live to fight another day. | Birmingham's home form is good, and Newcastle's away form not brilliant, but I think the Premiership club will live to fight another day. |

| Whatever team Chelsea choose to put out will be too strong. But this is a reward for Macclesfield's form over the last six weeks, and if a big gate helps them buy a couple of players, it will be a win-win day for them. | Whatever team Chelsea choose to put out will be too strong.

| Had this been at Belle Vue I might have gone for an upset as all Doncaster's Carling Cup exploits were at their old ground.

| Hull have enjoyed a resurgence under Phil Brown but even though Boro aren't particularly good on their travels, the form of Mark Viduka and Yakubu should see them through. | Hull have enjoyed a resurgence under Phil Brown but even though Boro aren't particularly good on their travels, the form of Mark Viduka and Yakubu should see them through. |
