Accrington Stanley v Fulham
Simon Davies is in Fulham’s squad after recovering from a foot injury. I just hope he stays recovered this time, Wales and Fulham have missed him.
Aston Villa v Brighton & Hove Albion
After several successive (successful) starts, James Collins could be rested but they’re a bit short in the centre back position so I think he’ll play. Brighton captain Andrew Crofts should play too.
Bolton Wanderers v Sheffield United
Bolton have a couple of injuries but as far as I know none of them are defenders so Sam Ricketts might be on the bench again. But he did nothing wrong when he came on in the 93rd minute against Arsenal in midweek so maybe I will let myself hope. Sam had better watch out for Sheffield United’s Ched Evans though. Ched will probably be as desperate for a goal as Sam will be for a start.
Cardiff City v Leicester City
Adam Matthews and Aaron Wildig are struggling with groin and back injuries respectively and Aaron in particular looks unlikely to be fit for this match. Joe Ledley is presumably also struggling with his hip operation imminent but he probably needs to play if Cardiff are planning on starting with eleven players (okay maybe I’m exaggerating just a little bit). He is coming around to the idea of a new contract though so it’s not all bad. And I don’t think Darcy Blake has any injuries anywhere.
Andy King hasn’t scored for a while for Leicester… so he’s probably due a goal.
Derby County v Doncaster Rovers
Robbie Savage is apparently fit to play despite an incident at an Aston Villa match involving Stiliyan Petrov, a football and Robbie’s headphones. Btw you should read Robbie’s columns in the Mirror (online I mean, I would never tell anyone to buy the Mirror). They’re hilarious and I’m very jealous.

Newly-fit captain Brian Stock have a good chance of starting but Brian certainly might be rested because he has only just come back from injury and there’s a Championship game on Tuesday. Gareth Roberts and John Oster are more likely to start but they must need the occasional rest too. John still hasn’t signed his contract because his agent hasn’t been around but he seems happy to stay at Doncaster, even though the manager does weird things like asking for his opinion.
Notts County v Wigan Athletic
Jason Koumas would probably welcome the chance to get a game for Wigan but he wasn’t even on the bench last time and it seems as though Wigan are taking this match so seriously, they’re even prepared to play their injured players. Cardiff have showed an interest in Jason, who has played for them before but his wage demands are a bit high and he’d rather stay in the Premier League. I’d rather you did too, Jason, but most of all I want to see you playing! And if you can un-retire yourself and get back into the Wales picture, even better.
