    Wycombe 1-1 Aston Villa

    Just 15 minutes to go at Adams Park and it's the lower league side who are pushing for a winner. Aston Villa haven't won a game since September and it shows. Bereft of confidence, the Villa fans have just loudly opposed a substitution too.

    Doncaster name 10 of the 11 players who started the impressive away win over Southend, with the inclusion of midfielder Harry Middleton the only change.

    Stoke make nine changes from the side that lost to Liverpool in the League Cup in midweek, with only centre-backs Ryan Shawcross and Philipp Wollscheid retaining their place. Danish goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard makes his first start for the club. A rare start for Peter Crouch!

    Norwich keeper John Ruddy replacing Declan Rudd is one of seven changes made by the Canaries following their win over Southampton. They have signed right-back Ivo Pinto from Dinamo Zagreb but he doesn't make the squad.

    Manchester City also make seven changes from the side beaten at Everton in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final on Wednesday. However, it stills looks a strong line-up as striker Sergio Aguero and winger Raheem Sterling start, along with 19-year-old forward Kelechi Iheanacho. 

    Norwich XI: Ruddy, Bennett, Martin, Bassong, Wisdom, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Olsson, Howson, Odjidja, Jerome.

    Man City XI: Caballero, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernando, Delph, Navas, Sterling, Iheanacho, Aguero.

    Everyone to the Changing Room bar...

    But where do the players change? Are they having a swift one to settle the nerves?

    Or perhaps it's just a bar called The Changing Room. I suspect the latter.

    West Brom have named a strong side for the visit of struggling Championship side Bristol City. Former Bristol Rovers striker Rickie Lambert will fancy a goal against the 'old enemy'.

    Bristol City, who are backed by 5,300 travelling fans, are only able to name six substitutes due to having just 17 senior players. The bench includes a goalkeeper with no first-team experience.

    West Brom XI: Foster; Chester, Evans, Morrison, Brunt, McClean, Lambert, McAuley, Fletcher, Sessegnon, Rondon. Subs. Myhill; Yacob, Gardner, Gamboa, Berahino, McManaman, Dawson.

    Bristol City XI:  Fielding, Little, Ayling, Flint, Baker, Bryan, Smith, Pack, Freeman, Wilbraham, Kodjia. Subs. O'Leary, Williams, Wagstaff, Reid, Agard, Burns.
