Two matches from a Wembley appearance. I still expect a much-changed first eleven from that of a PL fixture. But unlike the hosts, City have such strength in depth with their second string they can beat reigning holders on their own patch.

Cargin Bhui was gambled on in his last run. Having a wide trip throughout didn't help his cause, but he finished very well. There are hints his turn may be at hand. Seeing as that was his first run back in about 60 days and he was gambled on, he'll certainly strip fitter. He's well handicapped for all this is a deeper race.

Candinomore is interesting. 7 furlongs to 1 mile is his trip; he has won three times at that distance. The trainer is running at a 25% strike rate recently. Winner on FGR surface and makes a yard debut. Not raced for nearly three months but has gone well fresh before. The form of his second to Sky Advocate has worked out well two runs ago. Interesting at the price.

At 40/1 I cannot let KHANGAI go unbacked. The last two runs were over inadequate trips. He's not one that flies out at you. However, he won from 3 times in 19 starts ??" won off 54 and 55 twice during the summer. He's 5 pounds below his last winning mark. He's run here 3 times. He ran an odd race here leaving st 80/1 before fading back in November. On the other two runs he came third. He could run a stinker, but this is a weak race and he's handicapped to win. In this company I envisaged 25/1. At 40/1 it looks overpriced. Hopefully all 8 go to post and we get the 3 places up for grabs.

This could be a low-scoring affair. Offensively, Steelers have not been as prolific this season and they meet a Texans side who lie second for least points conceded. I think this will be a low-scoring, cagey affair. Final standings in the regular season were 10-7-0 for the hosts, finishing top of the AFC North, and Texans 12-5-0 when runners-up in the AFC South.

Houston Texans were one of my ante-post picks and they are on a tremendous run, winning their last 9. They look strong in all areas. Steelers are 12-5, but their defense??"one of the top two sides in the AFC and NFC final standings??"conceded the second-highest points total; only the Dallas Cowboys conceded more. That will be their undoing.

Sevilla are in a real slump and Celta have wins against Real Madrid and Atletico Bilbao. Their away form has been exceptional, losing only one on their travels. The Sevilla side lost 5 at home this season already. On a 3-match losing streak, no goals scored and 6 conceded. Only once have both teams failed to score in the last six meetings. At 6/1, there could well be value in the away win and BTTS.

Liverpool are having an up-and-down season. I fully expect Klopp to rotate his first eleven tonight. They really should have too much class for a Barnsley side who've lost three and drawn one of their last four matches. Luca Connell, their captain, will be missed as he's suspended.

2/13 is short, with Macclesfield shock win coming to mind. But arguably Liverpool should be 1/10 or even shorter. It would be much changed, did from a PL fixture, but there's a huge gulf in class.

This looks to concern the blue and orange dogs. I cannot see how the odds-on favourite will get a clear run. Has a muddled seed. BOCKOS FRANKEL could have had a better draw as he's shown to go muddled, judged on trials at Suffolk Downs. That said, he boasts superb early acceleration from the traps, with a slow starter on his inside. He created a good impression on debut at Suffolk Downs when winning easily by 7 in open company, having over come a slow start and a bump.

The favourite I'd unexposed, but at these weights may not conform with The Quiet Man on their last running. THEY ALL KNOW ME is the interesting one. Has had five runs and placed in all of them: 3-2-2-3-3. Was a huge eye-catcher on the last run at Newcastle when beaten by Bobby Jo Leg a neck and one and three quarters. Given a fair bit to do two furlongs out when held up and then short of room. Was nibbled in the betting on that occasion, 14/1 into 10/1 before the off. Richard Fahey employs the services of Warren Fentiman, who's well worth his 5 pounds. I envisage this fella would be considerably shorter. At the odds, looks one of the bets of the meeting.

After two big winners in the first two wildcard playoffs, this could be another. The Jaguars have really turned the corner since Week Ten. They are in good form; however, they are meeting a Bills side who have been in this position before and know what it takes to get over the line. Plus Josh Allen is in good nick and a few key personnel are coming back, which could edge a close encounter.
