Premier League
Everton host Chelsea at Hill Dickinson Stadium in a Premier League clash between two sides level on 10 points. Both are looking to climb a congested table.
Read previewLiverpool and Brentford last met in May, sharing a 1-1 draw. Their recent history suggests another close game at the Gtech Community Stadium, with Liverpool missing several key players.
Read previewFulham sit rock bottom of the Premier League with two points from six games, while Hull City are eighth on nine. Saturday's meeting at Craven Cottage offers the underdog a chance to disrupt a side with a stronger start.
Read previewSix wins from six have put Manchester City top of the Premier League. They host an Ipswich side still searching for consistency at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Read previewNewcastle's FA Cup win at Aston Villa in February is the latest chapter in a head-to-head record that has refused to lean either way. Both sides are still searching for consistency in the Premier League.
Read previewChampionship
Cardiff arrive at the Riverside without an away win all season, while Middlesbrough have been unbeaten against them in their last five meetings. Saturday offers a chance to test that run.
Read previewMillwall have been steady without being spectacular, but Lincoln arrive in London with mounting pressure after a run of defeats that has left them near the foot of the Championship.
Read previewWatford and Charlton drew 1-1 in their last meeting in April, but the mood is very different now. Watford are looking to climb out of the relegation zone, while Charlton are comfortably in the mid-table.
Read previewBirmingham and QPR are separated by nothing but league position, with identical records after 10 games. Saturday's meeting at St. Andrew's could give one side the edge in a tight Championship race.
Read previewOnly two points separate these Championship strugglers, and the contrast between a home side that has struggled to score in Bristol and a visitor whose attack has travelled well makes this Saturday's clash a compelling one.
Read previewDerby have the chance to close the gap on the teams above them when Stoke City visit Pride Park on Saturday. The Rams are rooted to the foot of the Championship, while Stoke sit comfortably in the top half.
Read previewNorwich sit 20th in the Championship after four defeats in their last five, and a home game against a Portsmouth side on the rise puts the Canaries' season under sharper focus.
Read previewSouthampton have yet to lose at home this season, while Bolton have scored freely on the road but conceded even more often. Saturday's clash tests whether the hosts' strength outweighs the visitors' attack.
Read previewWest Ham have scored 18 goals in their last five Championship matches, and they travel to Swansea on Saturday with the table's top spots in sight. The hosts have yet to lose at home this season.
Read previewBlackburn travel to The Hawthorns with six players unavailable, a problem that could decide how far they can push a West Brom side sitting above them in the Championship table.
Read previewWrexham have won one and drawn two of their last five Championship matches, but they arrive at the Racecourse Ground unbeaten in their recent meetings with Preston.
