Sheffield Wednesday v Bournemouth

Bournemouth retain the last unbeaten record in the top four divisions and can extend it by defeating Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

Five of the Cherries' nine matches have finished all square, including Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Derby when they paid the price for a poor first half.

Jason Tindall's men were much better after the break and benefited from the introduction of substitutes Joshua King and David Brooks, who were two of the players linked with moves away from the club.

Both will be pushing for midweek starts and their quality could expose a Wednesday side weakened by the absences of injured defender Aden Flint and banned centre-back Joost Van Aken.

The Owls have lost four in a row, including Saturday's 1-0 defeat at struggling Wycombe, and their misery could continue.

Blackpool v Wigan Athletic

Two wins from three games have lifted Blackpool away from the League One relegation zone and the Seasiders rise can continue with a victory over Wigan at Bloomfield Road.

It has taken a while for Neil Critchley's new-look Blackpool team to gel but they were worthy 2-1 winners at Burton on Saturday and should be too strong for the fourth-bottom Latics, who have taken one point from the last six games.

Walsall v Crawley Town

Walsall have been the League Two draw specialists – sharing the points in seven of ten matches – but can get the better of Crawley at Banks's Stadium.

Crawley are up to seventh but are not to be trusted on their travels, having won just one of their last 22 away fixtures.
