Only two Championship games take place this weekend because of the FA Cup. All the team news is right here.

Saturday, January 26

Bristol City (3) v Blackpool (15)

Winger Ivan Sproule is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season during the 2-0 defeat at in-form Crystal Palace but Enoch Showunmi is available after failing to agree personal terms with Leeds this week after the two clubs had agreed a fee.

On-loan Sheffield United goalkeeper Paul Gerrard is in the Seasiders' squad. Manager Simon Grayson has a virtually full-strength squad to choose from and midfielder Keith Southern is continuing his recovery from an operation to repair ankle ligament damage.

Burnley (9) v Scunthorpe (23)

Robbie Blake and Ade Akinbiyi are set to be paired in attack after they both scored in last weekend's 2-1 win at Coventry following the sale of leading scorer Andy Gray to Charlton. Kyle Lafferty serves the third game of a four-match ban following his red card against Arsenal in the FA Cup. Clarke Carlisle (hamstring) is a doubt but skipper Steven Caldwell returns after serving a one-match ban.

Liverpool teenager Jack Hobbs could make his debut for Scunthorpe, after agreeing to join on loan until the end of the season. Shelton Martis will play his last game before returning to West Brom at the end of his month-long stay, but Cliff Byrne will miss out through suspension under the totting-up procedure.
