Dave1962 Football Tips

Twelve points from a possible fifteen appear to suggest that finally things at Manchester United may have turned a corner. The board have remained faithful to Amorim, and having won away at Liverpool, it will be disappointing if they cannot get another away win against Nottingham Forest, who have only collected five points all season.

Crystal Palace come into this game on a run of three defeats and one draw in their last four games, of which three were in the Premiership and one in the Champions League. Brentford stunned Liverpool in their last game, and if playing to that level again, could leave Palace with all three points.

Brighton are one point ahead of Leeds in the Premiership table. Their last five home games have produced three wins and two draws. So far this season, Leeds have been poor away from home. So every chance Brighton can start November with a win.

Fulham come into this game on a run of four successive Premier League defeats. Wolves have really struggled this season and are bottom of the table. They will be looking to kick-start their season by doing what they did in this fixture last time around, gain the win and earn a very valuable three points.

Top of the table Hearts take on Dundee who are one place off the foot of the table. Hearts have had a wonderful start to the season which included wins against both Celtic and Rangers. The ten Premiership games they have played have resulted in eight wins and two draws. They are the only club in the Premiership yet to taste defeat and at home against a weak Dundee side, every chance Hearts will bank another three points.

Arsenal will be looking to extend or maintain their four-point lead at the top of the Premier League on their visit to an improving Burnley, who have won their last two games. The last time Burnley were in the Premier League, Arsenal did the double over them. The two wins Burnley have recently had were against teams in the bottom half of the table, so I will be expecting Arsenal to return home with all three points.

Livingston are bottom of the table with Hibs in third. Hibs beat this team earlier in the season in the League Cup. Having beaten Aberdeen in their last away game, I'm taking Hibs to get another away win.

These two teams met earlier in the season. Having traveled to Ross County, Arbroath returned with all three points. Back on home soil and having won their last two home games, they are looking to repeat the result.

When these two met earlier in the season at Stenhousemuir, each team came away with a point. The last five times Queen of South have welcomed Stenhousemuir, they have won. So, I'm taking them to do so again.

The last five home games played by Shelbourne have seen them win four and draw one. With St Patrick's Athletic having two draws and two defeats from their last four away games, going for a home win.

After nine games played, Tottenham are six places and three points ahead of Chelsea in the Premiership. They should come into this game in confident mood having won away at Everton, whilst Chelsea will need to lift themselves up following a home defeat to Sunderland. A Tottenham win looks the value selection in this match.

Athletic Bilbao's recent away record reads three defeats and one draw. Their last three visits to Real Sociedad have seen them lose twice and draw once. Real Sociedad have won their last two home games.

Based on current Premiership form, the vote has to go to Aston Villa. They have won their last four Premiership games, while Liverpool have lost their last four Premiership games, one of which was at home. Villa had a good win against Tottenham in their last Premiership away fixture. With Tottenham being higher in the table than Liverpool, there is every reason to be optimistic for a Villa win.

With four wins in their last five games, Newcastle appear to have found some form and consistency. Against a West Ham side who are still struggling to get points on the board, every chance Newcastle will continue their rise up the table with another three points.

Bournemouth may be above Man City in the table, but a win for the home team would see them move above them. Man City have won their last four home games, while Bournemouth have only managed two points from their last two away games. Those two draws were against teams lower in the table than Man City.

This game should see a few goals with AC Milan scoring in each of their last five home games and AS Roma doing the same in their last five away games. In the table AS Roma are the higher of the two clubs by three points. The last time AC Milan welcomed AS Roma was in a cup game which the home side won. Just over a month ago AC Milan beat top of the table Napoli when playing at home so going for the home side to get the win.

Sunderland have been the surprise team of the new season and are fourth in the table. They have won their last two games, which included a win away at Chelsea. With Everton losing their last two games, taking Sunderland to continue their fine form.

From the results that Liverpool have produced this season, they do not appear to be nearly as strong as they were when winning last season's Premiership title. Real Madrid continue to look as strong as ever, which included a recent win at home to Barcelona. In this season's Champions League, they have played three games and won them all, whilst Liverpool have two wins and one defeat. On their last three visits to Liverpool, Real Madrid have won twice and lost once.
