The former Arsenal and England midfielder now manages the club's Under-18s and leads them into an FA Youth Cup semi-final against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

Middlesbrough (8/11) look good to get the points against struggling Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. Boro have won eight of their last 10 in the Championship with Michael Carrick managing to sprinkle some magic dust on Teesside. No team has scored more (33) than Carrick's men away from home and they have won nine times on the road and won three of their last four away from The Riverside. Huddersfield boss Neil Warnock is yet to work out how to block up their leaky defence.

Four of those fixtures are against relegation rivals, with successive home games next week against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest (Tuesday) and Crystal Palace (Sunday).
