ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: 12BET odds West Bromwich Albion vs Newcastle United 3/25 11PM GMT+8

Jonas Olsson will return to Albion's defence after a one-match suspension and his probable recall alongside Gareth McAuley means Liam Ridgewell is likely to revert from central defence to left-back in place of Nicky Shorey. Albion are hopeful striker Peter Odemwingie will be fit after missing the 1-1 draw at Wigan last weekend with a hamstring injury. Midfielder Zoltan Gera and right-back Steven Reid remain long-term absentees.

Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote is rated at 50-50 to return from injury at West Brom on Sunday. The Ivory Coast international missed last weekend's 1-0 win over Norwich with a hamstring problem and remains a doubt, although full-back Danny Simpson has a chance of returning from his adductor strain.

Cardiff City VS Coventry City football match preview

ENGLISH LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: 12BET odds Cardiff City VS Coventry City 3/22 3:45AM GMT+8

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay has hinted Rudy Gestede could return. After drawing 0-0 with Burnley at the weekend, Mackay will be desperate for his squad to show they are not suffering a Carling Cup hangover following the defeat on penalties to Liverpool. Since that game the Bluebirds have only won only one of their five games, scoring just four goals in the process.

Coventry are sweating on the fitness of striker Cody McDonald. McDonald was only fit enough for a place amongst the substitutes in the 1-1 draw with Watford at the weekend and may have to settle for a similar role again as he struggles to fully overcome a groin problem. Andy Thorn also has concerns over winger David Bell who has missed the Sky Blues' last three games with a groin problem.

ENGLISH LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: 12BET odds Bristol City Vs Watford 3/21 3:45AM GMT+8 

Bristol City will again be without defender Lewin Nyatanga. The Robins will be without the centre-back for a further three weeks due to his persistent ankle injury. The Wales international has had an injection to try and cure the problem, but it will not be a quick solution. Manager Derek McInnes will be without the services of on-loan midfielder Sean Davis as a thigh strain keeps him out and the Bolton man is fighting to be fit for the weekend game at Middlesbrough.

Winger Kacaniklic is expected to have a better chance of involvement, however, despite being forced off 10 minutes from time with a leg problem. Manager Sean Dyche has options should Mariappa not make it, with Dale Bennett back in full training following his bout of concussion at West Ham while fellow defender Martin Taylor is also fit again after a broken toe. Otherwise, long-term injury victim Stephen McGinn (knee) is the only absentee as he continue his road to recovery.

ENGLAND FA CUP: 12BET odds Liverpool vs Stoke City 3/19 12 AM GMT+8 

Liverpool have only managed to claim victory in four out of their last 12 fixtures, drawing four and losing the same amount. The Reds are looking to claim a domestic double for the first time since 2001, when they beat Birmingham City on penalties to lift the League Cup, then defeated Arsenal in the dramatic closing minutes of the FA Cup final thanks to two goals from Michael Owen. This will be the first time the two sides have met in the FA Cup since 1988, when a Peter Beardsley strike helped Liverpool win a replay.

The Anfield encounter will be Stoke City’s 46th game of this season, having started the campaign in July against Hajduk Split in the Europa League. While Liverpool have played all of their FA Cup games at home, Stoke have had to play each of Gillingham, Derby and Crawley away from the Britannia Stadium. The Potters have only conceded more than one goal once in their last 15 FA Cup ties, spanning three seasons.
