    Everton v Arsenal (19:45 GMT)

    Shame on you football. After the glorious chaos of Leicester's title, normality is restored. This could be any league table from 2008 onwards.

    A win tonight will take Arsenal top. They'd be level on points with Chelsea, who play at Sunderland tomorrow, but even a 1-0 win is enough as the Gunners have scored more goals than Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 machine.

    The last time Leicester won away in the league was on 10 April - a 2-0 victory at Sunderland that left them three wins from the Premier League title. 

    Since losing at Hull on the opening day, this season's turning out to be a little more complicated for the Foxes. 

    Just one point from their seven matches on the road this term.

    Bournemouth

    Defeat at Burnley on Saturday was the hangover after that frantic binge of a 4-3 win at home to Liverpool - when the Cherries came from three goals down.

    Is there a shout for Bournemouth being the league's most unpredictable team at the moment?

    Since October they've also smashed Hull 6-1, lost at home to Sunderland, and beaten Stoke away. 

    What'll Eddie Howe's side bring to tonight's table?

    "One win in 10 is not good enough, but he [Ronald Koeman] knows that. They had no energy against Watford. It was the basics."

    Everton have won just once in their past 10 league games. No wonder Koeman and company are coming under fire.

    "We need to win now," manager Koeman said in the build-up to tonight's game. "Every week there are several meetings [with the players] about this.

    "But finally the answer is on the pitch, not between the four walls in a meeting room.

    "Of course we will not win every game but one out of 10 is underperforming for everyone."

    Leicester City

    On the occasion of Claudio Ranieri's 200th Premier League match as a manager, Leicester are looking to secure consecutive league wins for the time since April.

    Was this always going to happen? This slide down the table after all the glorious glory?

    The Foxes are in 16th, hovering four points above the relegation zone. Even with a Champions League last-16 tie against Sevilla to look forward to, Ranieri will be worried.

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "Every game is of high intensity and the question mark is always not the character but do we have the energy to respond? 

    "Gabriel is a guy who has good experience. He has done well at centre-back and I decide to play him."

    On the title battle: "Six, seven teams will fight and that is why you try to be consistent."

    He may be shaking off the "Tinkerman" nickname - Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri makes just one enforced change from Saturday's mauling of Manchester City. Luis Hernandez replaces the suspended Danny Simpson in a like-for-like change at right-back.

    Danny Drinkwater has completed a three-match domestic suspension but misses out after picking up a knock against Porto in the Champions League last week. And no doubt to the disappointment of the half-dozen Japanese journalists here in the press room, Shinji Okazaki is a substitute again.

    Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe makes three changes from the defeat at Burnley as Jack Wilshere returns to the starting XI and Marc Pugh also comes in for his first start of the season.

    Claudio Ranieri does not recall Danny Drinkwater despite his three-game ban ending after Leicester's win over Manchester City. Kasper Schmeichel was expected to return in goal for this trip but doesn't make the bench and hence has seemingly not recovered from his broken hand.

    Luis Hernandez is included at right back as Danny Simpson is suspended having collected five bookings. That's the only change from Saturday's thrilling win.

    Scottish winger Ryan Fraser's man-of-the-match showing in Bournemouth's astonishing 4-3 win over Liverpool nine days ago saw him not only elevated to the starting line-up at Burnley on Saturday, but also to the cover of tonight's programme.

    The "Wee Man" - who stands a full 5ft 4ins - describes the Liverpool game as "probably the best day of my life", but is quick to credit manager Eddie Howe - and Mick McCarthy at Ipswich, where he spent last season on loan - for giving him confidence.

    There will be no repeat tonight though. He is not in the Bournemouth squad.

    Everton manager Ronald Koeman, on recent poor form: "It is difficult to explain sometimes why things happen in football. 

    "We lost a bit of confidence in the last few weeks but we need to be more compact as a team and more aggressive as a team and tonight is a big chance for us to show that." 

    On Gareth Barry not being in the squad: "He is not any more the youngest player and with a tough period coming up I need to protect him. I spoke to him and he is OK about that."

    The original fixture between Stourbridge and Northampton was called off because of a frozen pitch

    As well as Oxford versus Macclesfield there are three other FA Cup second-round replays tonight. 

    FC Halifax Town are at home to Eastleigh after the two sides drew an entertaining clash 3-3 in the original fixture, while Fleetwood host Shrewsbury Town.MK Dons are at home to Charlton in an all-League One clash.

    Non-league Stourbridge meet Northampton in a re-arranged second-round match after the original fixture fell victim to a frozen pitch.

    There are also nine fixtures in the Championship...

    Oxford v Macclesfield (19:45 GMT)

    There are also five FA Cup fixtures tonight, and if you've only got space for one, make it Macclesfield Town's match at Oxford United.

    Macclesfield's main sponsor have offered each player a free king-size bed if they win the FA Cup second-round replay.

    The Silkmen (10th in the National League) drew 0-0 against their League One opponents at home on 2 December, so the tie's been taken back to the Kassam Stadium.

    Apart from the beds, the winner of the tie will earn £27,000 in prize money and a trip to Rotherham (for the third round match that is).

    Riyad Mahrez is the featured visiting "Star Man" in tonight's match programme, fresh from winning the BBC African Footballer of the Year award last night.

    It wasn't the best of times for him against Bournemouth last season - substituted at half-time for tactical reasons here in August's 1-1 draw and having a penalty saved by Artur Boruc in the return game which finished goalless.
