- Soton: mit Abstand die wenigsten Heimpunkte (10P.); einziger Heimsieg am 9. Spieltag mit 2-0 gg. Norwich (20.); ein Sieg aus den letzten zwölf Spielen (1 6 5 | H: 0 4 2): im ersten Spiel im neuen Jahr mit 1-0 bei Barnsley (19.); danach 1-2 gg. Doncaster (21.) & 2-2 bei Norwich (20.) & zuletzt ebenfalls 2-2 gg. Swansea (9.)

- Sheff U: haben fast identische Heim- bzw. Auswärtsbilanzen vorzuweisen; eine Niederlage aus den letzten neun Spielen (4 4 1 | A: 2 3 0); zuletzt 0-0 bei PNE (6.) & davor besagte Niederlage mit 0-1 gg. Doncaster (21.) & 2-0 bei Watford (22.) & 1-0 gg. Norwich (20.)

Southampton will be without defender Lee Molyneux when they host Sheffield United.
The teenage full-back, a recent signing from Everton, was sent off after receiving two yellow cards against Swansea on Saturday and serves a one-match ban.
Rudi Skacel would be the obvious replacement at left-back but the Czech international is out of favour after handing in a transfer request, so midfielder Andrew Surman could fill in.
Saints are without winger Lee Holmes, who will be on the sidelines for a month with a knee injury, while defenders Wayne Thomas (knee) and Michael Svensson (Achilles) are long-term absentees.
Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin returned as a late substitute against the Swans following hamstring trouble and should be involved again.
Saints are confident the game will go ahead despite the weather conditions.

Sheffield United will be without captain Chris Morgan for the clash.
The central defender was forced out of Saturday's goalless draw at Preston after straining his hamstring, so Leigh Bromby is expected to make his first start since his return to Bramall Lane from Watford earlier this month.
Otherwise, manager Kevin Blackwell has no other new injury or suspension problems and will be choosing from an unchanged squad as his side chase a first win in three league matches (Anm.: In fact it's two league matches).
Midfielder Nick Montgomery (hamstring) and defender Gary Naysmith (ankle) both overcame slight injuries to last the full 90 minutes at Deepdale and are expected to continue, while recent signing Jamie Ward is still waiting to make his first start for the Blades.

04/05: 0-2 (1-0)

- Huddersfield: ihre letzte Heimniederlage kassierten sie Ende November am 18. Spieltag mit 0-1 gg. LeytonO (21); in den elf Spielen danach verloren sie 3x, jeweils auswärts (6 2 3 | H: 5 1 0); zuletzt 1-0 gg. Peterbro (4.) & davor zwei Auswärtsniederlagen in Folge: 0-1 bei Yeovil (17.) & 2-4 bei Leicester (1.); davor 2-1 gg. Swindon (19.) & 1-1 bei Northampton (15.) & ebenfalls 1-1 gg. Oldham (6.)

- Hartlepool: der letzte Auswärtssieg gelang ihnen Ende Oktober am 14. Spieltag mit 1-0 bei Carlisle (18.); seitdem in dreizehn Spielen 2x gewonnen, jeweils @home (2 4 7 | A: 0 1 5); zuletzt 1-2 bei Brighton (20.) & davor 2-2 gg. Carlisle (18.) & 2-0 gg. Northampton (15.) & 1-2 bei Oldham (6.)

Antony Sweeney is expected to be fit for Hartlepool's clash with Huddersfield at the Galpharm Stadium.
Sweeney, who only recently returned from an ankle injury, took a blow to his foot during the 2-1 defeat at Brighton and had to be substituted.
The right-back should be fit to feature, although Jamie McCunnie is on standby to come in.
Winger Andy Monkhouse is suspended, while Pools signed Norwegian striker Rune Lange on transfer deadline day, but he is lacking match fitness and is unlikely to be involved.
That means Daniel Nardiello should keep his place alongside Joel Porter in attack after an impressive debut against the Seagulls.
Pools have no other fresh injury concerns as they look to end a run of six away league games without a win.

Huddersfield boss Lee Clark will choose his starting line-up from an unchanged squad, but Gary Roberts is still suspended.
Winger Roberts will sit out the final game of a three-match ban, but Clark has no other new injury or suspension worries.
The Terriers bounced back from back-to-back defeats to rekindle their play-off hopes with a 1-0 win over promotion-chasing Peterborough on Saturday and Clark is not expected to make any changes.
Recent signings Anthony Pilkington and Lionel Ainsworth have quickly settled into Clark's starting line-up and are likely to continue in midfield, while Danny Cadamarteri is expected to play alongside Phil Jevons up front again.
Former captain Jon Worthington made his debut for Yeovil on Saturday after joining on loan and forward Andy Booth is recovering from his long-term back problem.

- Sheff U: können fast identische Heim- und Auswärtsbilanzen vorweisen; die 0-1-Heimniederlage gg. Doncaster (21.) war die einzige in den letzten zehn Spielen (5 4 1 | H: 2 1 1); zuletzt 2x in Folge auswärts: 2-1 bei Soton (23.) & davor 0-0 bei PNE (6.); davor besagte Heimniederlage gg. Doncaster (21.) & 2-0 bei Watford (22.) & 1-0 gg. Norwich (18.) & 3-1 gg. Charlton (24.)

- Wednesday: sie sind zwar nicht das schlechteste Auswärtsteam der Liga, aber nur zwei können weiniger Auswärtspunkte vorweisen (Charlton (24.) & Watford (22.)); ihre beiden Auswärtssiege holten sie am 8. Spieltag mit 2-1 bei Charlton (24.) und am 19. Spieltag mit 2-0 bei Blackpool (15.); somit letzte fünf Auswärtspartien nicht mehr gewonnen (0 2 3); in den letzten acht Spielen gelang ihnen genau ein Sieg (1 4 3 | A: 0 1 3); zuletzt 1-1 gg. Birmingham () & davor 1-2 bei Forest (17.) & besagter Sieg mit 4-1 gg. 1-1 bei Ipswich (11.) & 0-2 bei Coventry (14.)

Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell could hand recent signings Jamie Ward and Arturo Lupoli their first starts for the Blades in the Steel City derby clash with Sheffield Wednesday.
However Blackwell will be without suspended striker Darius Henderson and skipper Chris Morgan is expected to miss out once again.
Morgan was forced out of last Saturday's goalless draw at Preston due to a hamstring strain and missed the midweek win over Southampton, while Henderson was sent off against the Saints and starts a four-match ban.
Leigh Bromby will continue in Morgan's absence alongside Matt Kilgallon in central defence against the club where he started his career.
Striker Ward, who stepped off the substitutes' bench to fire an impressive last-minute winner at Southampton, has staked his claim for his full debut and Lupoli, who arrived on transfer deadline day from Fiorentina via a loan spell at Norwich, is also in contention.
Billy Sharp, an unused substitute against Southampton, provides Blackwell with further options up front.

Sheffield Wednesday striker Akpo Sodje could return to Brian Laws' squad.
The Owls' talisman, sidelined by a knee tendon injury since mid-November, has made only six first-team appearances since August and also missed the second half of the last campaign following ankle surgery.
But Laws will be without suspended Francis Jeffers following his recent dismissal at Nottingham Forest, so Leon Clarke, now fully recovered from a hamstring problem, is expected to continue up front alongside Marcus Tudgay.
The Owls' scheduled midweek match against Barnsley was postponed due to the weather and Laws has no new injury or suspension problems as his side chase their third win in the last 11 league matches.

- Bristol C: letzte Niederlage kurz vor X-Mas mit 1-2 gg. Burnley (8.); somit letzte sechs Spiele nicht verloren (5 1 0 | A: 2 0 0); zuletzt 2x in Folge @home: 2-1 gg. Charlton (24.) & davor 2-0 gg. Barnsley (20.); davor ebenfalls 2-0 bei Plymouth (16.) & wieder 2x in Folge @home: 2-2 g. die Wolves (1.) & davor 1-0 gg. Palace (12.); davor 4-2 bei Watford (22.)

Norwich manager Bryan Gunn will have midfielder Mark Fotheringham back in his squad for Saturday's visit of Bristol City in the Championship.
Fotheringham was suspended for the thrilling 3-3 draw at leaders Wolves on Tuesday but returns to contention.
Striker Carl Cort should keep his place up front at Carrow Road after he scored his first goal since October 2007 at Molineux while Darel Russell came through 90 minutes unscathed following a recent head injury so should continue.
On-loan forwards Chris Killen and Alan Gow both came on in midweek to make their debuts and should again feature while winger David Carney could be given his first start in place of Ryan Bertrand.
Bertrand picked up an ankle injury at Molineux and will be handed a late fitness test. If he is ruled out, Carney is in line to take his place on the left wing.
Deadline day signings Cody McDonald and Adrian Leijer missed the midweek game as they were not registered in time but both come into Gunn's thoughts.

Top scorer Nicky Maynard is set to return for Bristol City's trip to Norwich.
Maynard has been sidelined since sustaining a dead leg at Plymouth at the end of last month.
However, Robins boss Gary Johnson has hinted that the nine-goal striker may have to settle for a place on the bench following victories over Barnsley and Charlton in his absence.
"We have to remember how well the lads currently in the side have done," Johnson said.
Winger Ivan Sproule might be another player named among the substitutes after recently recovering from a dead leg.
Jamie McAllister will not be involved as he serves a one-match ban after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season at Plymouth, so Izzy Iriekpen could make his debut.

- Walsall: ihre letztes Spiel im letzten Jahr verloren sie am 28.12. mit 1-2 bei Tranmere (8.); die nächste Partie spielten sie nach dreiwöchiger Pause; das bedeutet: in den sieben Spielen nach dieser Pause gewannen sie nur 1x (1 3 3 | H: s.o.); zuletzt 2x in Folge auswärts und jeweils UE: 1-1 bei Carlisle (17.) & davor 2-2 bei Hartlepool (13.); davor 2x in Folge @home: 1-4 gg. Leicester (1.) & davor besagter Sieg mit 1-0 gg. Leeds (7.); davor 2-3 bei Swindon (19.) & 1-1 gg. Hereford (23.)

- Colchester: in der Auswärtstabelle liegen sie an vierter Stelle hinter den enteilenden Leicester (1.) und den MKDons (2.) und hinter Scunny (4.), die sie mit einem Sieg noch überholen könnten; die letzte Auswärtsniederlage kassierten sie Ende November am 17. Spieltag mit 1-2 bei Peterbro (3.); somit sechs Auswärtsspiele nicht mehr verloren (4 2 0); zuletzt knappe 0-1-Heimniederlage gg. Tranmere (8.); davor neun Partien ungeschlagen (5 4 0 | A: 4 2 0); u.a. 2-0 bei Carlisle (17.) & 2-1 gg. Northampton (16.) & 0-0 bei BristolR (15.) & 3-1 gg. Cheltenham (22.) & 1-1 bei den MKDons (2.)

Colchester midfielder Kemal Izzet returns from suspension ahead of his side's trip to Walsall.
Izzet sat out Tuesday's loss to Tranmere after picking up five yellow cards this term, but is now back in contention.
The game appears to have come too soon for striker Steven Gillespie who has been suffering with a calf problem.
He has now returned to training but manager Paul Lambert appears unlikely to risk him.
Midfielder Johnnie Jackson is still struggling with a shoulder problem and faces at least another week out, while Chris Coyne (knee) was an unused substitute for Australia when they faced Japan in Yokohama and is doubtful for this weekend's game.
Colchester currently lie 11th in the League One table, one place and five points above Walsall.

The Saddlers are expected to have Clayton Ince back.
The goalkeeper missed Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Carlisle while on international duty with Trinidad and Tobago but should return between the sticks at the expense of Rene Gilmartin.
Stephen Roberts remains sidelined with his back problem while fellow defender Richard Taundry is also struggling with a dead leg that has kept him out of the club's last two games.
Midfielder Dwayne Mattis missed the midweek draw at Brunton Park with a thigh injury but should be okay this weekend, while youngster Richard Davies is also pressing for a place in Chris Hutchings' matchday 16.
The Saddlers boss must also decide which of his strikers to start with as in-form quartet Troy Deeney, Michael Ricketts, Jabo Ibehre and Sam Williams all press for inclusion.

- Exeter: in den letzten sieben Spielen verloren sie 2x (3 2 2 | H: s.o.) und zwar Ende Januar jeweils auswärts und in Folge mit einem Gegentor in der 79.min mit 0-1 bei Gillingham (9.) & nach 1-0-Führung und wieder einem Gegentor 10min vor Schluss mit 1-2 bei Chesterfield (12.); danach 2-1 gg. Barnet (22.) & 2-2 bei Grimsby (21.; diesesmal erzielten SIE den Ausgleich in der 79.min) & zuletzt 4-0 gg. Macclesfield (16.)

- Aldershot: ihren letzten Sieg errangen sie an Boxing Day mit 3-0 bei Barnet (22.); seitdem ging es stetig bergab: sechs Spiele nicht gewonnen (0 2 4 | A: 0 0 2); zuletzt 2-4 gg. Rochdale (4.) & davor 0-3 bei Brentford (1.) & 1-2 bei Bury (3.) & 3x in Folge @home: 2-2 gg. Notts (15.) & davor 1-1 gg. Macclesfield (16.) & 1-2 gg. Dag&Red (10.)

Exeter are boosted by the return to fitness of striker Craig McAllister ahead of their home League Two match against Aldershot.
McAllister was ruled out of last weekend's 2-2 draw at Grimsby by a thigh injury but was used as a second half substitute in Exeter's emphatic 4-0 home win over Macclesfield on Tuesday night.
He replaced goalscorer Richard Logan after 68 minutes and scored seven minutes later to complete City's rout.
Adam Stansfield was recalled to the starting line-up for the visit of the Silkmen and is likely to keep his place after grabbing the opening goal of the game.
City boss Paul Tisdale could be tempted to stick with the 3-4-1-2 formation he employed against Macclesfield with veteran forward Marcus Stewart playing behind the front two.

Aldershot will be without the suspended Chris Blackburn.
The defender's one-game suspension for picking up five yellow cards is held over from the Shots' postponed clash with Port Vale last weekend.
Manager Gary Waddock is likely to hand debuts to at least two of his new loan signings.
Brighton striker Jake Robinson and Cheltenham defender Andy Lindegaard are both set to make it into the starting XI with Lindegaard almost certain to replace Blackburn.
Fellow new-boy Alex McCarthy, who has joined on loan from Reading, could start in goal although Waddock may elect to keep faith with Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz.
Centre-back Rhys Day, who is struggling with a hamstring injury, faces a late fitness test and could miss out.
Aldershot will also be without striker Rob Elvins who has signed for Woking on loan until the end of the season.

Darren Moss will be suspended for Shrewsbury's encounter against Chesterfield, leaving Ben Herd the likely candidate to take his place at right-back.
Moss saw red for kicking out at striker Brett Pitman during last weekend's disappointing 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth, meaning he will now miss the next three games.
His indiscipline has left the door open for Herd to regain his place in defence after he initially lost out to Moss back in November.
Midfielder Kevin McIntyre (double fracture of his right fibula) remains on the sidelines as does goalkeeper Jaz Singh (fractured cheekbone), while Stephen Hindmarch is unlikely to compete for a place in the matchday 16 as the club wait for test results on a series of headaches he has been struggling with.
Otherwise, manager Paul Simpson has no other injury or suspension problems to contend with as he looks to regain a spot in the play-off places.
"It's an important period, we've now got 16 games left and they're all very, very important ones," he told the club's official website.

Chesterfield will be without top scorer Jack Lester and defender Dan Hall through suspension.
But Lee Richardson's squad is supplemented by the addition of new signings Jared Wilson and Clayton McDonald.
Lester and Hall must serve one-match bans. The duo should have sat out the home game against Lincoln last week but that match was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
McDonald, signed on a one month emergency loan from Manchester City, could make his full debut in place of Hall as Aaron Downes' partner at the heart of defence. Although, Kevin Austin is another option available to Richardson.
Captain Robert Page has recovered from the foot injury that has kept him out since mid-December but the former Wales international does not come into the reckoning as he is short of match fitness.
Wilson, who has joined on loan from Birmingham until the end of the season, is likely to be named among the substitutes.

- Southend: in den dreizehn Spielen von Anfang November bis Ende Januar gewannen sie nur 1x (1 4 8 | A: 0 3 5); in den acht Partien danach spielten sie zwar 6x @home, verloren aber nur noch 2x und zwar jeweils mit 0-1 @home (6 0 2 | A: 2 0 0); zuletzt 2-0 gg. Walsall (13.) & davor eine dieser 0-1-Heimniederlagen gg. Millwall (4.) & 2-1 bei Peterbro (2.) & 2-0 gg. Scunny (6.) & 1-0 bei Colchester (10.)

Southend boss Steve Tilson has no new suspension or injury concerns ahead of his side's fixture with Brighton.
Tilson saw his squad come through their 2-0 win over Walsall on Saturday unscathed and the Shrimpers boss could have the luxury of naming an unchanged squad.
One possible change could be the inclusion of midfielder Jean Francois-Christophe, who could return after serving a one-game ban.
Simon Francis is pushing for a starting place following his impressive substitute showing in Saturday's victory, however Dougie Freedman and Alex Revell both remain sidelined with long-term thigh and leg injuries respectively.
Southend have won four of their last five league games and sit 12th in League One.

New Brighton boss Russell Slade hopes to add strike duo Nicky Forster and Glenn Murray to his squad.
Skipper Forster (calf) and fellow frontman Murray (hernia) trained on Monday morning and should be fit enough at least for places on the bench.
Defender Colin Hawkins and midfielder Chris Birchall (both calf) will also be in contention as Albion's injury crisis finally starts to ease.
Winger Dean Cox returns from a one-match suspension to further boost Slade's options, but Adam Virgo serves the third of his five-game ban.
Still missing are full-back Jim McNulty, who is out of hospital following his kidney injury but will not play again this season, and goalkeeper Michel Kuipers (hamstring).
Tommy Elphick (ankle), Gary Hart (knee) and Kerry Mayo (hernia) have been pencilled in for a reserve-team run-out later this week.

Gillingham manager Mark Stimson could again be without winger Andy Barcham for the visit of Darlington.
Barcham has missed the last two games with a knee injury suffered in the 1-0 win over Bournemouth on the last day of last month but does have an outside chance of returning against the Quakers.
Stimson's main selection dilemma is over whether to keep faith with the 4-4-2 formation which saw his side win 2-0 at Accrington on Saturday or start with a 4-3-3 as he has done in the last three home matches because of the poor state of the Priestfield pitch.
If he does choose to revert to a three-pronged attack, it seems likely Mark McCammon will move out to the left-hand side as he did at the Fraser Eagle Stadium with Dennis Oli on the right and Simeon Jackson - who netted his 15th goal of the season at the weekend - in the middle.
The Gills have no other injury problems with striker Gary Mulligan again coming off the bench on Saturday after his recent groin injury.
Stimson's men made it five games without defeat with their win on Saturday and stayed seventh in the table but are now just two points away from the third automatic promotion spot.

Darlington boss Dave Penney will again have to rely on the club's youth-team players.
The financially-troubled club were forced to include young trio Curtis Main, Corey Barnes and Josh Gray just to make up squad numbers for the 2-1 defeat to Macclesfield on Saturday and there will be more included at Priestfield.
Experienced duo Tim Ryan and Robin Hulbert were both forced to withdraw from the weekend's defeat to the Silkmen due to injury to further compound the Quakers' injury crisis.
Boss Penney already has senior players Pawel Abbott (back), Rob Purdie (leg), Liam Hatch (collarbone) and Gregg Blundell (hamstring) out injured while Ricky Ravenhill serves the final game of his four-match ban.
The Quakers continuing troubles both off and on the pitch mean Penney is likely to call on youth team players Jonathan Hewitson, Michael Smith and Dan Groves against the Gills.
