Aberdeen (9.) & 2-3 gg. die Rangers (2.) & 1-1 bei DundeeU (7.)

Lee Mair and Hugh Murray could return to the St Mirren squad for Monday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Kilmarnock.
Both played in a closed-doors game this week as they bid to return from injury, however John Potter is suspended following his red card in Wednesday's defeat by Hearts.
Gareth Wardlaw returns from suspension while Paul McGowan is also available after illness forced him off early against Hearts.

Kilmarnock defender Manuel Pascali is suspended after the Italian picked up his seventh booking of the SPL campaign during the 2-1 win over Hibernian.
Harry Forrester (ankle) remains on the sidelines along with James Dayton (knee) and Alan Combe (hernia).

04/05: 0-3 (1-3)
03/04: 2-0 (0-0)
02/03: 1-2 (0-3)

- Derby: im letzten Spiel 2-1-Sieg beim Letzten Preston (24.); davor fünf Niederlagen in Folge: 2-5 bei Forest (10.) & 1-2 gg. Reading (11.) & 0-2 bei BristolC (17.) & 1-2 gg. Norwich (3.) & 1-2 bei Burnley (8.)

- Millwall: letzte sieben Spiele nicht verloren (4 3 0 | A: 1 3 0); zuletzt 3-0 gg. Palace (23.) & davor 2-0 gg. Leicester (14.) & 1-1 bei Pompey (15.) & 1-1 bei Swansea (2.) & 3-0 gg. Scunny (22.) & 0-0 bei Preston (24.) & 1-0 bei Boro (20.)

Millwall will check on top scorer Steve Morison ahead of Monday's npower Championship trip to Derby.
The 11-goal Wales striker missed Saturday's 3-0 win over south London rivals Crystal Palace with flu.
Full-back Alan Dunne serves the second game of a three-match ban following his red card against Leicester so Jack Smith is set to deputise again.
Skipper Paul Robinson and fellow centre-half Danny Shittu could miss out once more with hamstring problems.
Neil Harris returned to action as a late substitute against Palace following a back injury and will be on the bench again but fellow frontman Shaun Batt (knee) is still on the sidelines.
Saturday's hat-trick hero Jason Puncheon plays the last match of his loan spell from Southampton.

Dean Moxey returns to the Derby squad.
The left-sided player served a one-match suspension as the Rams halted a five-game losing streak with victory against Preston.
Boss Nigel Clough made five changes at Deepdale following the defeat by East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest and could shuffle his pack once again.
Chris Porter made his first start of the season on New Year's Day but two games in three days could be too much for the striker after so long out with hip problems.
He could be replaced by Alberto Bueno while fellow forward Steve Davies, midfielder Tomasz Cywka and defender Dean Leacock could also be recalled.

Hin: 1-1
08/09: 0-1 (0-2) League Two
07/08: 1-0 (0-0)
05/06: 2-2 (2-0)

- Bournemouth: ausgeglichene Bilnaz in den letzten acht Spielen, in denen sie auch die beiden Heimniederlagen kassierten (3 2 3 | H: 2 0 2); zuletzt 2-1 bei Swindon (18.) & davor 0-2 bei den MKDons (8.) & 0-1 gg. Hartlepool (7.) & 2-0 gg. Yeovil (23.) & 2-2 bei LeytonO (19.) & 3-0 gg. Walsall (24.) & 1-1 bei Brentford (9.) & 1-2 gg. Colchester (10.)

- Brentford: in der Auswärtstabelle stehen sie an zweiter Stelle bei 'one game in hand'; in den ersten neun Spielen gewannen sie nur 1x und kassierten auch alle drei Auswärtsniederlagen (1 3 5 | A: 0 2 3); somit letzte elf Spiele nur noch 2x (@home) verloren und alle fünf Auswärtspartien gewonnen (8 1 2 | A: 5 0 0); zuletzt 2-1 gg. Dag&Red (22.) & davor 2-0 bei Soton (2.) & 2-0 bei Colchester (10.) & 2-1 bei Plymouth (15.) & 0-2 gg. die MKDons (8.) & 1-1 gg. Bournemouth (4.) & 4-2 bei Exeter (13.)

Brentford will be without Sam Wood for the trip to Bournemouth after the defender suffered a broken arm in the win against Dagenham.
The 24-year-old crashed into advertising hoardings after 15 minutes of the 2-1 victory.
Boss Andy Scott said: "He will be out for a while. It's a big blow for us and a blow for him."
Myles Weston came on after a lengthy absence with a hamstring injury to replace Wood but was then taken off himself as he tired in the closing stages. Scott must now decide if he is fit enough to start against the Cherries.
Striker Carl Cort remains sidelined with a torn Achilles tendon and will not travel.
Fellow forward Gary Alexander scored the winner against the Daggers, bringing his tally for the season to seven goals.

Bournemouth defender Joe Partington could return to the squad for Monday's game.
Partington missed the 2-1 win at Swindon on New Year's Day with a knock but is expected to give Cherries manager Eddie Howe extra options at the back.
Michael Symes (back and thigh) is hoping to feature after returning from injury as an unused substitute at the County Ground, but Howe also has plenty of other strikers available.
Veteran Steve Fletcher returned to the starting line-up against Swindon, while Danny Ings and fellow forward Lee Bradbury both stepped off the bench in the second half.
Midfielder Shaun Cooper made his first start since the end of November and appears to have recovered from his back problem, while Anton Robinson shook off a virus to play on New Year's Day.
Defender Ryan Garry remains a long-term absentee due to a shin injury.

Macclesfield (14.; 7 5 9 | 26 - 32) - Rotherham (2.; 10 7 3 | 37 - 23) | 2,65 3,30 2,30

H2H:
Hin: 1-1
09/10: 1-3 (1-3)
08/09: 1-2 (0-2)
07/08: 1-1 (0-3)

- Macclesfield: man könnte sagen, dass sie seit der Winter in Europa Einzug gehalten hat -also in den letzten vier Spielen- keinen Bock mehr haben oder aus dem Tritt gekommen oder eingefroren sind; zuletzt 2-2 bei Bury (5.) & davor 1-2 bei Oxford (13.) & 2-4 gg. Gillingham (7.) & 0-2 gg. Cheltenham (8.); in den zehn Spielen zuvor verloren sie nur 2x und gewannen alle Heimspiele (6 2 2 | H: 4 0 0)

- Rotherham: die beiden Auswärtsniederlagen kassierten sie am 5. Spieltag mit 0-1 bei den Shrews (6.) & am 14. Spieltag ebenfalls mit 0-1 bei Southend (12.); in den folgenden sechs Partien blieben sie ungeschlagen, traten aber auch wg. diverser Spielausfälle nur 1x auswärts an (4 2 0 | 1 0 0): zunächst 1-1 gg. Macclesfield (14.) & danach 2-1 gg. Oxford (13.) & 1-0 bei Crewe (9.) & 2-2 gg. Northampton (19.) & 1-0 gg. Aldershot (16.) & zuletzt 5-0 gg. PortVale (4.)

Rotherham are set to be without on-loan defender Danny Coid for the Bank Holiday trip to Macclesfield.
The right-back, on loan from Blackpool, went off at half-time in the emphatic 5-0 win over Port Vale on New Year's Day with an ankle injury in what was his first game back after a hamstring problem.
Luke Ashworth came on for Coid at the Don Valley Stadium and he is likely to start if Coid, who will be checked on Sunday, is unfit.
Boss Ronnie Moore could be tempted into changes to keep his squad fresh, with Arsenal loanee Mark Randall pushing for a start after making a full recovery from a broken collarbone which saw him play the final 25 minutes on Saturday and score a 25-yard screamer.
And Moore has no concerns about the potential loss of Coid or having to make changes.
"We have got good players here," he said. "If someone picks a knock up and can't play Monday then I don't think we'll miss them too much because there is quality group of players here."

Monday's game may have come too early for a clutch of Macclesfield players.
Manager Gary Simpson was without injured defensive duo Carl Tremarco and Shaun Brisley (both hip) for the weekend draw at Bury and they are unlikely to feature against the Millers.
Striker Ricky Sappleton is still lacking match fitness and another slot on the bench could be in line for the 21-year-old.
Richard Butcher completed 90 minutes and scored on his return to the Silkmen team on Saturday but Emile Sinclair is still classed as a doubt.
The same applies for Vinny Mukendi, who missed out on the squad at Gigg Lane and is set to be disappointed again.
That limits Simpson's attacking options as Town search for a first league win in five.

Spieltag mit 2-3 gg. die Spurs (4.); in den folgenden sechs Spielen kassierten sie zudem noch eine Auswärtsniederlage (4 1 1 | H: 2 0 0): zunächst 4-2 bei Villa (17.) & danach 2-1 gg. Fulham (13.) & 0-1 bei ManU (1.) & 3-1 gg. Chelsea (5.) & 2-2 bei Wigan (19.) & zuletzt 3-0 bei Birmingham (15.)

- ManC: sie kassierten die beiden Auswärtsniederlagen am 3. Spieltag mit 0-1 bei Sunderland (6.) & am 10. Spieltag mit 1-2 bei den Wolves (20.); in den folgenden elf Spielen kassierten sie noch eine Heimniederlage (7 3 1 | A: 4 1 0); zuletzt 1-0 gg. Blackpool (11.) & 4-0 gg. Villa (17.) & 3-1 bei Newcastle (10.) & 1-2 gg. Everton (14.) & 3-1 bei WestHam (18.) & 1-0 gg. Bolton (7.) & 1-1 bei Stoke (8.) & 4-1 bei Fulham (13.)

David Silva and Mario Balotelli have been ruled out of Manchester City's crucial Premier League encounter with Arsenal.
The pair have failed to recover from their respective knee injuries, leaving manager Roberto Mancini to consider his options for the trip to north London.
City have not beaten the Gunners away from home since 1975 but know victory this time would open a five-point gap on Arsene Wenger's men.

Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns.
Left-back Kieran Gibbs misses out but should be available for the weekend's FA Cup tie with Leeds after recovering from an ankle injury.
Midfielder Abou Diaby (calf), goalkeeper Manuel Almunia (ankle) and centre-back Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) remain out.

Warum City hier der Außenseiter sein soll, erschliesst sich mir nicht so ganz...nungut, sie haben seit ewigen Zeiten nicht mehr bei Arsenal gewonnen, allerdings haben sie in diesem Jahr aufgerüstet wie kein Zweiter...zudem stehen sie in der Auswärtstabelle an zwoter Stelle, 1P. hinter...Arsenal...die haben aber auch eine Auswärtspartie mehr auf dem Konto...einen kleinen Einsatz sind mir die Citizens wert...

Dag&Red (23.) & 2-3 bei den MKDons (9.) & 3-3 gg. Swindon (18.)

- Brentford: letzte zehn Spiele 2x verloren (7 1 2 | A: 5 0 1); zuletzt 1-3 bei Bournemouth (3.) & davor vier Siege in Folge: 2-1 gg. Dag&Red (23.) & 2-0 bei Soton (2.) & 2-0 bei Colchester (11.) & 2-1 bei Plymouth (12.); davor 0-2 gg. die MKDons (9.)

Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton is without the suspended Jean-Paul Kalala for the game against Brentford.
Kalala serves the first game of his four-match ban after he was sent off for striking MK Dons winger Michael McIndoe in the 1-0 win over Karl Robinson's side on Monday.
Skiverton has two new faces in his squad, with goalkeeper Stephen Henderson and midfielder Alex Russell both joining the Glovers this week.
Henderson has joined on loan from Bristol City until the end of the season while the experienced Russell has signed from Blue Square Bet Premier side Bath.
Right-back Craig Alcock is likely to miss out which means defender Paul Huntington will continue to wear the captain's armband in his absence.
Fellow defender Luke Ayling suffered a broken nose against the Dons and is rated doubtful.

Brentford's Marcus Bean needs a late fitness check to determine whether he will be able to play.
Bean had to be withdrawn at half-time during Monday's defeat at Bournemouth as he was suffering from concussion.
He could be replaced in midfield by Marc Laird, who has joined on a month's loan from Millwall and is in line to make his debut.
Wingers Sam Wood (broken arm) and Sam Saunders (hamstring) are still on the sidelines along with striker Carl Cort (Achilles).
Goalkeeper Ben Hamer and forward Rowan Vine this week left Griffin Park after their loan spells ended while midfielder David Hunt has joined Crawley.
Simon Moore is likely to be the back-up to goalkeeper Richard Lee after being recalled from his loan at Basingstoke.

- Aldershot: sie haben auswärts fast doppelt soviele Punkte geholt wie @home; einzige Heimsiege am zwoten Spieltag mit 1-0 gg. Southend (15.) & am 12. Spieltag mit 2-1 gg. Morecambe (20.); letzte neun Spiele 2x (auswärts) gewonnen (2 1 6 | H: s.o.); zuletzt 1-2 gg. Hereford (23.) & davor 2-1 bei Barnet (24.) & 0-1 bei Rotherham (2.) & 2-1 bei Burton (17.) & 0-2 gg. Chesterfield (1.) & 0-2 bei Macclesfield (16.) & 2-2 bei Hereford (23.) & 1-3 gg. Bury (5.)

- Oxford: letzte fünf Spiele 1x verloren (4 0 1 | A: 2 0 0): zuletzt 4-3 bei Torquay (11.) & davor 0-2 gg. Southend () & 2-1 gg. Macclesfield (16.) & 2-1 gg. Barnet (24.) & 2-1 bei Chesterfield (1.); in den sieben Partien zuvor gewannen sie nur 1x (1 0 6 | A: 0 0 3)

Aldershot striker Marvin Morgan will play no part when Kevin Dillon's men welcome Oxford after he was suspended by the club.
Morgan has scored 25 goals in 77 league starts for the Shots - including 15 in last season's charge into the play-offs - but looks certain to leave the club this month after he was disciplined this week.
The 27-year-old was fined two weeks' wages and placed on the transfer list for comments he made on social networking site Twitter as well as being given a two-week ban.
Dillon will have Watford striker Liam Henderson available after he signed on loan on Thursday but Danny Hylton has joined AFC Wimbledon.
Left-back Jamie Vincent returns from suspension and Dillon also hopes that winger Glen Little will have recovered from his back strain.

Oxford's leading scorer James Constable may have to settle for a place on the bench.
United boss Chris Wilder opted for the strike pairing of Jack Midson and Tom Craddock in Monday's 4-3 victory at Torquay and Midson took his chance by scoring a hat-trick.
Wilder may opt to stick with the same duo against the Shots, meaning talisman Constable would once again be among the substitutes.
Midfielder Sam Deering and defender Mark Creighton could be in the squad after returning from loan spells at Newport County and Wrexham respectively.
Ben Futcher will play no part of returning to parent club Bury, while fellow defender Rhys Day has signed for Mansfield.
Defender Leigh Franks is a doubt due to a hamstring injury.

09/10: 3-2 (3-2) Championship
07/08: 2-1 (3-1) Championship

- WBA: Brom ist ganz schön abgestürzt in den letzten Wochen, denn nun stehen bei ihnen schon fünf Niederlagen in Folge zu Buche (3-12 Tore): zuletzt 0-3 bei Fulham (14.) & davor 1-2 gg. ManYoo (1.) & 1-3 gg. Blackburn (10.) & 0-2 bei Bolton (7.) & 1-2 bei Villa (18.); davor der bislang letzte Sieg mit 3-1 @home gg. Newcastle (8.)

- Blackpool: letzte acht Spiele 2x verloren (5 1 2 | A: 3 1 1); zuletzt 2-1 gg. Liverpool (13.) & davor 1-2 gg. Birmingham (15.) & 0-1 bei ManCity (2.) & 2-0 bei Sunderland (6.) & 1-0 bei Stoke (11.) & 2-2 bei Bolton (7.)

Die Quote für WBA stand zu Anfang der Woche noch bei @1,80...warum die nun gesunken ist, erscheint mir schleierhaft...es sei denn, Blackpool hat eine erhebliche Verletztenliste zu beklagen.

Blackpool midfielder Elliot Grandin faces a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with West Brom at The Hawthorns.
Grandin has suffered problems with his hamstring in recent weeks and was withdrawn in the second half against Liverpool on Wednesday, although Seasiders boss Ian Holloway is optimistic the Frenchman will be able to travel with the squad to the midlands.
Holloway has no other fresh injury concerns, but David Carney is still at the Asian Cup with Australia.

Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill will make his first Barclays Premier League start for West Brom.
Baggies boss Robert Di Matteo has revealed Scott Carson will drop down to the bench to make way for Myhill, who impressed between the posts during last weekend's narrow FA Cup defeat to Reading.
Chris Brunt will take the captain's armband in Carson's absence.
Peter Odemwingie is battling an ankle injury, while Ismael Miller and Pablo Ibanez are also doubtful with hamstring problems.
Jonas Olsson is suspended and Steven Reid is recovering from knee surgery, but defender Gabriel Tamas is available following a three-match ban.

...sorry...n bissken spät...musste mich aber zuerst mal um mein Autro kümmern...da hat mir doch tatsächlich jemand heute nacht die Scheibe an der Beifahrertür eingeschlagen und...nix geklaut...Vandalismus oder gestört worden?

- Ipswich: den letzten Auswärtssieg landeten sie am 15. Spieltag mit 2-1 bei Sheff.U (21.); in den folgenden neun Partien gewannen sie nur 1x (1 1 7 | A: 0 1 3); zuletzt 0-1 gg.

Josh McQuoid will miss out when Millwall welcome Ipswich to The Den.
The striker, who recently joined the Lions on a permanent basis from Bournemouth, has suffered an ankle injury in training and will be sidelined for around three weeks.
Veteran Neil Harris stepped in for the FA Cup defeat by Birmingham as McQuoid was cup-tied, but fit-again Kevin Lisbie (knee) provides another option after his late run-out as a substitute.
Right-back Alan Dunne will return to the squad after completing a three-match suspension for his recent red card against Leicester. Midfielder Tamika Mkandawire will miss out after picking up a groin injury that will keep him out for at least a fortnight.
Centre-half Paul Robinson, who limped off towards the end against the Blues, will be out for two to three weeks, while midfielder Liam Trotter is very doubtful after injuring his back against Derby.
New signing Theo Robinson will be in the squad following his permanent move from Huddersfield.

Tractor Boys (=Ipswich) manager Paul Jewell could begin his reign by naming an unchanged team against the Lions.
Jewell was among the spectators on Wednesday night as Town pulled off a shock 1-0 win over Arsenal in the League Cup semi-final and will have a tough job making any changes.
Tamas Priskin, netted the decisive goal against the Gunners, was a constant threat as a lone striker while teenager Connor Wickham also impressed from the left.
Right-back Troy Brown is out with a hamstring injury, while top scorer Jason Scotland missed the cup victory with a calf strain.
Loan signings Jake Livermore and Rory Fallon are back after being ineligible on Wednesday, but fellow midfielder Grant Leadbitter serves the third and final match of his suspension.
Goalkeeper Brian Murphy is set to be out for at least three months with an ankle injury so Marton Fulop will continue. Winger Shane O'Connor also remains sidelined with a dislocated shoulder and midfielder Luke Hyam (hamstring) is out.

Watford captain John Eustace remains sidelined as the Hornets prepare to host his former club Derby.
Eustace has been out since injuring his calf in the New Year's Day win over Portsmouth and is not yet fit enough to be considered.
Manager Malky Mackay could be boosted by the return of winger Don Cowie.
Cowie missed last weekend's FA Cup win over Hartlepool through illness but the Scot could be back after returning to light training.
Defender Lee Hodson is available after a chest infection of his own but is unlikely to feature as the Hornets look to keep pace with the leaders of the Championship.
Mackay made a host of changes for the cup clash but will revert to his first choice XI against the Rams. Piero Mingoia marked his debut with a goal and could be in the squad while fellow midfielder Michael Bryan is back after an ankle injury.

Derby manager Nigel Clough has no fresh injury concerns for the trip to Watford.
Clough is likely to make changes following his side's shock FA Cup defeat to Blue Square Bet Premier side Crawley on Monday.
Midfielder Miles Addison made his comeback from a serious foot injury by playing his first 90 minutes in a year at the Broadfield Stadium and will assessed before the game against the Hornets.
Alberto Bueno is likely to come back into the side to bolster the Rams attacking options alongside does Conor Doyle, who is back in the squad after returning from a training camp with the USA Under-20s.
Midfielder Stephen Pearson (knee) and striker Steven Davies (dead leg) may also be included if they shake off their respected injuries while attacker Kris Commons, who is mulling over a new contract with County, is likely to start.

Chesterfield hope to have leading scorer Craig Davies back in the ranks for the visit of FA Cup giant-killers Stevenage.
The 15-goal striker missed the 3-2 victory at Southend through illness, but looks set to come back in against Borough.
Jack Hunt's return to Huddersfield after his loan spell leaves boss John Sheridan with a right-back problem given that Kelvin Lomax is out with an ankle injury and Dan Gray is away on loan at Macclesfield.
Jamie Lowry could come into the reckoning 15 months after his last first-team appearance. He has recently stepped up his recovery from a serious knee injury, but Sheridan would like him to complete a few more reserve-team games before making a full-scale comeback.
Centre-back Simon Ford has played a few games at right-back, while left-back Scott Griffiths could be asked to switch sides.

Stevenage visit the league leaders without Lee Boylan.
The 32-year-old striker left the club after his contract expired, having been restricted to just two appearances this season due to injury.
Defender Darius Charles is available having served the final game of a three-match ban in the sensational FA Cup victory over Newcastle.
Striker Byron Harrison is also in contention having been cup-tied against the Magpies. The recent signing from Carshalton could partner Peter Winn, who returned from an ankle injury to score the last goal of the 3-1 upset.
Midfielders Joel Byrom (ankle) and Darren Murphy (foot) will hope to be in contention for the trip to Derbyshire after shaking off recent injuries.
Scott Laird should be fit to play, despite being attacked on the pitch during the aftermath of the cup win.
A 24-year-old man has been charged with assault.

Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole could be in line for a recall at Wolves on Saturday as manager Kenny Dalglish looks for his first Premier League victory since returning as Reds boss.
The England international played 45 minutes for the reserves on Wednesday, an exercise which Dalglish admitted was useful.
Milan Jovanovic has been ill this week and may not make the squad which is again without captain Steven Gerrard, who serves the final game of this three-match ban.

Wolves' new signing Adam Hammill is set to make his debut against his former club.
The winger, who signed from Barnsley for £500,000, will feature in the squad and is likely to play some part in the match.
Mick McCarthy will be without Dave Edwards, who has a virus, and Sylvain Ebanks-Blake, who is still out with a calf injury. Jody Craddock and Karl Henry are likely to start after playing in the team's midweek FA Cup win over Doncaster.

Record signing Darren Bent is poised to make his Aston Villa debut in the Premier League clash with Manchester City at Villa Park.
The England striker completed his move from Sunderland in midweek in a deal which could eventually be worth up to £24million.
Winger Ashley Young is available after missing the derby with Birmingham through suspension, but striker Emile Heskey will serve the final game of a three-match ban for his sending-off against Sunderland.
Defender Luke Young (hip) and midfielder Stephen Ireland (knee) remain on the injury list.

New signing Edin Dzeko is set for a recall as Manchester City look to continue their title push.
Dzeko was ineligible for Tuesday's FA Cup triumph over Leicester but seems likely to be handed an instant recall following an impressive debut against Wolves last weekend.
Kolo Toure, Nigel de Jong and Gareth Barry are also in line to get their places back, which should help shore up an uncharacteristically leaky defence that has conceded seven times in the last three games.

Dean Moxey will return to the Derby squad for the visit of East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.
The left-back missed the defeat to Watford through illness but has resumed training this week and could be recalled to Nigel Clough's starting line-up.
A handful of other players could also be in contention for recalls following the 3-0 loss at Vicarage Road.
Defender Dean Leacock, midfielder Stephen Pearson and forward Steve Davies came off the bench against the Hornets, while Jake Buxton, Ben Pringle and Tomasz Cywka featured in the Rams' Derbyshire Senior Cup victory at Chesterfield on Wednesday.
Midfielder Cywka could force his way into the team, while the best Buxton and Pringle can hope for is to be included on the bench.
Ben Davies will also go straight into the squad after joining from Notts County on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Forest boss Billy Davies faces a selection dilemma ahead of the trip to rivals Derby.
The Scot must decide whether he can find places in his starting line-up for attacking trio Dele Adebola, Lewis McGugan and Nathan Tyson, who all made a significant impact from the bench during last weekend's late home win over Portsmouth.
Fellow forward David McGoldrick and midfielder Paul McKenna are also fresh and available to Davies after being unused substitutes against Pompey.
However, any changes up front would mean breaking up the partnership of former Ram Robert Earnshaw and Marcus Tudgay.
Forest are looking to complete a league double over Derby in little over three weeks after winning 5-2 at the City Ground on December 29.

Portsmouth's already threadbare squad will be weakened further by the absence of skipper Aaron Mokoena against Leeds.
The South African defender starts a two-game ban after collecting his 10th yellow card of the season at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Pompey are still without striker Dave Kitson, who is halfway through a three-match ban, but versatile defender Greg Halford is back from suspension.
Forward John Utaka suffered a hamstring injury at Forest and is a doubt but winger Nadir Ciftci, who missed out with an ankle problem, has trained this week and should feature.
Defender Ricardo Rocha has been on the bench recently despite hamstring trouble and could be called upon to start.
Danny Webber (cruciate) is still out and Richard Hughes and Michael Brown cannot play due to contract issues.

Leeds defender Andy O'Brien is out of the long trip.
The former Bolton centre-half will not face one of his former clubs after picking up a hamstring strain in the midweek FA Cup defeat to Arsenal.
Neill Collins or Leigh Bromby are likely to come into the starting line-up.
Striker Luciano Becchio missed out against the Gunners and is also rated as a doubt by manager Simon Grayson, though his chances of playing seem brighter due to having been rested in midweek with a niggling back problem.
Striker Mike Grella is poised to join Motherwell on loan until the end of the season while left-back George McCartney is available again after he was not allowed to play in the Cup tie.

Marcus Bent could make his second debut for Sheffield United when they host Swansea.
The striker scored 20 goals in just 48 league games for the Blades a decade ago and has returned for a second spell on loan from Birmingham.
Midfielder Leon Britton will not feature after completing a surprise move back to opponents Swansea but loan signings Joe Mattock and Shane Lowry could make their home debuts.
Defender Matt Lowton and midfielder Lee Williamson have both recovered from groin problems, while striker Richard Cresswell is fit again after a shoulder injury.
Winger Mark Yeates made a surprise return to the bench during last Saturday's goalless draw at Coventry after recently dislocating his shoulder and he could be considered from the start.

Norwich manager Paul Lambert has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip.
Midfielder Henri Lansbury has returned to Arsenal at the end of his current loan spell while Lambert has allowed two fringe players to leave the club.
Defender Jens Berthel Askou has joined Championship rivals Millwall on a month-long loan spell while midfielder Owain Tudur Jones has joined Brentford on a similar deal.
Reserve goalkeeper Declan Rudd is recovering from a broken jaw so 18-year-old Jed Steer will once more deputise on the bench.
Midfielders Andrew Surman and Stephen Hughes are recovering well from knee injuries but will not be involved while centre-half Elliott Ward (calf) is also making good progress.

H2H:

08/09: 2-0 (2-2) Championship
07/08: 1-2 (2-1) Championship

- Charlton: sie sind in den letzten Wochen etwas abgestürzt, denn den letzten Sieg holten sie noch im November am 17. Spieltag mit 3-2 gg. Yeovil (21.); danach 1-1 gg. BristolR (22.) & 0-1 gg. Walsall (24.) & 1-1 bei Brighton (1.) & 3-3 bei Colchester (10.) & 2-4 gg. Swindon (19.) & zuletzt 2-2 bei Wednesday (9.); somit letzte sechs Partien nicht gewonnen (0 4 2 | H: s.o.)

- Plymouth: auch sie sind nicht gerade Überflieger, liessen aber im letzten Spiel aufhorchen: 3-1-Sieg im Nachholspiel bei den MKDons (6.); davor drei Niederlagen in Folge: 0-2 gg. Oldham (8.) & 2-3 bei Huddersfield (2.) & 0-3 bei Bournemouth (4.); davor fünf Partien in Folge nicht verloren (3 2 0 | A: 1 1 0)

New Charlton manager Chris Powell will be without Paul Benson when he takes charge for the first time against Plymouth.
Striker Benson serves the final game of a three-match ban following his red card at Colchester on New Year's Day.
Lee Martin was this week recalled from his loan spell by Ipswich but Powell still has plenty of options in attack in Joe Anyinsah, Akpo Sodje, Pawel Abbott and Nathan Eccleston.
Liverpool loanee Eccleston came on as a substitute in the 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday last week and could make his full debut at The Valley.
Chris Solly is back in training after a long-term ankle injury but fellow defender Kelly Youga is out for the season with a knee problem.

Plymouth boss Peter Reid will be without two key players.
The Pilgrims' 3-1 victory at MK Dons was marred by injuries to defender Onismor Bhasera (knee) and forward Joe Mason (ankle).
Zimbabwean Bhasera had given Argyle the lead and put through his own net before being stretchered off at stadiummk, and he could be replaced by Jim Paterson.
Mason, who had been enjoying an impressive run of appearances, may not return to first-team action this month, which could give Rory Patterson an extended spell in the starting XI.
Enforced changes aside, Reid looks set to stick with the same players who secured Argyle's fourth away win of the campaign.
The Greens were denied all three points in the reverse fixture at Home Park by a 90th-minute Benson equaliser.


Notts (17.; 9 3 10 | 30 - 29) - Carlisle (15.; 8 7 7 | 33 - 24) | 1,90 3,30 3,65
H: 7 0 4; 17 - 11 | last3: 3 0 0; 6-0 (Siege gg. Swindon (19.) & MKDons (6.) & Hartlepool (12.))

H2H:
Hin: 0-1
05/06: 0-0 (1-2) League Two

- Notts: ausserhalb der Playoff-Plätze hat nur ein Team mehr Heimpunkte geholt (Carlisle (15.) hat genau einen Heimpunkt mehr, aber auch schon zwei Heimspiele mehr ausgetragen); im Umkehrschluss sind sie mit...genau...Carlisle (15.) das punktschlechteste Auswärtsteam; letzte sechs Spiele nicht verloren (4 2 0 | H: s.o.); zuletzt 0-0 bei Soton (3.) & davor 3-0 gg. Hartlepool (12.) & 3-0 bei Walsall (24.) & 1-1 bei Plymouth (13.) & 2-0 gg. die MKDons (6.) & 1-0 gg. Swindon (19.)

- Carlisle: wie schon erwähnt, sind sie mit Notts das punktschlechteste Auswärtsteam; die beiden Auswärtssiege holten sie am 6. Spieltag mit 1-0 bei Wednesday (9.) & am 9. Spieltag mit 4-0 bei Hartlepool (12.); somit letzte vier Auswärtspartien nicht gewonnen (0 1 3); zuletzt 4-0-Heimsieg gg. BristolR (22.); davor fünf Spiele nicht gewonnen (0 2 3 | A: 0 0 2): 1-2 bei Tranmere (20.) & 2-2 gg. Huddersfield (2.) & 0-2 gg. Dag&Red (23.) & 1-1 gg. Rochdale (11.) & 1-2 bei Walsall (24.)

Goalkeeper Rob Burch could return to the Notts County squad when Carlisle visit Meadow Lane.
Burch was forced off injured against Hartlepool on January 3 and has missed the last two matches.
Stuart Nelson has been his replacement and boss Paul Ince will have to decide whether to recall Burch or stick with Nelson should the former Tottenham trainee be fit.
Ben Burgess came on as a substitute against Southampton last weekend but his hamstring remains a problem. Fellow forward Lee Hughes and defender Liam Chilvers also remain doubts with calf and knee injuries respectively.
Alan Gow made his full debut at St Mary's and could be in line for his first home appearance along with Lewis Gobern, who was an unused sub against Saints.

Carlisle will hand late fitness tests to skipper Paul Thirlwell and striker Jason Price.
Thirlwell is hoping to shake off a calf strain, while Price is struggling with an Achilles problem. Both players missed the 4-0 Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over Huddersfield in midweek.
Central defender Danny Livesey made only his second appearance of the season as a late substitute in Tuesday night's Northern Area final first leg following his recovery from a long-term groin injury and will be in contention again.
Another centre-half, Tony Kay, remains a long-term absentee due to a knee injury, while new midfield signing Marc-Antoine Gbarssin is hoping to make his first start for the Cumbrians, who secured their first league win in six matches against Bristol Rovers last Saturday.

07/08: 3-4 | 1-2 (0-1)
06/07: 1-1 (1-1 | 1-1)

- ICT: sie stehen derzeit auf dem 5. Platz, weil sie mit 23 Spielen die meisten Partien in der SPL hinter sich gebracht haben; zudem gehören sie zu den auswärtsstärksten Teams (nur die drei Erstplatzierten haben mehr Auswärtspunkte auf dem Konto); im Umkehrschluss sind sie aber ziemlich heimschwach (nur der Letzte Hamilton (12.) hat weniger Punkte @home geholt); der letzte Heimsieg gelang ihnen Ende November am 14. Spieltag mit 4-2 gg. die Hibs (11.); dies war denn auch gleichzeitig der letzte Sieg insgesamt, sodass sie nun schon neun Partien nicht gewonnen haben (0 5 4 | H: 0 2 2); zuletzt 1-1 gg. Hamilton (12.) & davor 0-1 bei den Rangers (2.) & 0-0 bei Motherwell (6.) & 0-1 bei St.Johnstone (8.) & 1-3 gg. Kilie (4.) & 1-2 gg. St.Mirren (10.)

- Aberdeen: sie sind weder besonders heim- noch besonders auswärtsstark, haben aber seit Boxing Day (26.12.) die bislang längste Serie von ungeschlagenen Spielen in dieser Saison hingelegt (3 1 0 | A: 2 0 0), bis zur letzte Partie, die sie knapp mit 0-1 bei Celtic (1.) verloren haben; davor 2-0 gg. St.Mirren (10.) & 1-1 gg. DundeeU (7.) & 1-0 bei Hamilton (12.) & 2-1 bei den Hibs (11.)

Jonny Hayes is pushing for a start for Inverness in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash against Aberdeen.
The Irishman made his comeback from a knee injury from the bench as Inverness drew 1-1 with Hamilton on Saturday.
Kenny Gillet and Gavin Morrison are both a week or two away from comebacks but Lee Cox has returned to training following a knee injury.

David McNamee is back in contention for Aberdeen.
The defender returned to full training after recovering from a groin problem.
Dons manager Craig Brown believes winger Sone Aluko, who has been out with an Achilles injury, has a chance of featuring against Caley.

07/08: 3-0 (0-2)

- Espanyol: die letzten beiden Spiele vor der kurzen XMas-Pause gingen verloren: 1-2 bei Athl.Bilbao (6.) & & 1-5 gg. Barca (1.); dies war denn auch das einzige von neun Heimspielen, in denen sie Punkte abgaben; das erste Spiel nach der Pause verloren sie dann auch noch: 1-2 bei Valencia (4.); danach aber wieder drei Siege in Folge: 4-0 gg. Saragossa (16.) & 2-1 beim FCSevilla (8.) & zuletzt 3-1 bei Getafe (9.)

- Villarreal: ihre gute Platzierung haben sie vornehmlich ihrer ausserordentlichen Heimstärke zu verdanken (derzeit führen sie die Heimtabelle vor RealM & Barca an); so holten sie ihre Auswärtssiege ausschliesslich bei Teams der unteren Tabellenregion (2-1 bei Levante (20.) & 3-2 bei Malaga (19.) & 3-0 bei Saragossa (16.)); letzte sieben Spiele zwar nur 2x verloren, aber auch 5x @home angetreten (5 0 2 | A: 0 0 2); zuletzt 2-1 gg. Sociedad (11.) & davor 4-2 gg. Osasuna (17.) & 2-4 bei RealM (2.) & 2-0 gg. Almeria (18.) & 3-1 gg. Malle (10.) & 0-1 bei Getafe (9.)

NAC (10.; 9 4 7 | 31 - 30) - Ajax (3.; 11 5 4 | 39 - 20) | 5,25 3,75 1,55 | X2 @2,21
H: 8 2 1; 22 - 9 | last3: 2 1 0; 8-4 (Siege gg. PSV (1.) & Utrecht (7.) & UE gg. Vitesse (15.))
A: 5 3 2; 20 - 13 | last3: 2 1 0; 3-3 (Siege bei Venlo (17.) & Vitesse (15.) & verloren bei Utrecht (7.))

Hin: 0-3
09/10: 1-1 (0-6)
08/09: 0-3 (0-3)
07/08: 2-3 (3-1)

- NAC: um in der Eredivisie bestehen zu können, muss man schon eine gewisse Heimstärke an den Tag legen und genau das tun sie; nur Groningen (4. | H: 9 1 1) kann mehr Heimpunkte vorweisen als sie, die PSV (1. | H: 8 1 1) hat genau einen Heimpunkt weniger, aber auch ein Heimspiel weniger; wenn also die eklatante Auswärtsschwäche nicht wäre, könnte man sie sicherlich unter den ersten 5-6 Teams der Tabelle finden; die bisher einzige Heimniederlage kassierten sie am 10. Spieltag mit 1-2 gg. Roda (5.), schlugen aber @home die beiden schon etwas enteilten Spitzenreiter PSV (1.) und Twente (2.); die letzte Niederlage insgesamt kassierten sie Ende November am 15. Spieltag mit 0-3 bei DenHaag (8.); danach 4-2 gg. die PSV (1.) & 3-1 gg. Utrecht (7.) & der bisher einzige Auswärtssieg mit 3-1 bei Excelsior (16.) & 1-1 gg. Vitesse (15.) & zuletzt 2-2 bei NEC (11.)

- Ajax: sie sind weder @home noch auswärts überragend; lediglich ihre Ausgeglichenheit hält sie auf dem 3. Platz, 5P. bzw. 6P. hinter den beiden Spitzenreitern, aber auch der 7. Platz ist nur 6P. entfernt; was bei ihnen auffällt, ist die Tatsache, dass sie ihre Auswärtssiege ausschliesslich bei Teams der unteren Tabellenregion holten und bei Teams aus der oberen Tabellenhälfte so ihre Probleme hatten; zuletzt 0-3 bei Utrecht (7.) & davor 2-0 gg. Feyenoord (14.) & 1-0 bei Vitesse (15.) & 1-1 gg. NEC (11.) & 2-0 bei Venlo (17.) & 0-0 gg. die PSV (1.) & 0-2 bei AZ (6.)
