West Ham were beaten 3-0 away to Wolves, and the pressure is on them now, as this could be a relegation six-pointer in January. Forest have won three of the last four head-to-heads, and I am backing them to go and beat the Hammers away from home.

The Atlanta Drive team won the TGL league last year, and they have already started this season with an opening win against New York Golf Club. I am backing Atlanta Drive to make it two wins from two.

The Ace is in the easier half of the draw, if there is one in this Masters. But with Wilson, Robbo, Ronnie, Selby, and Murphy in the other half, I am backing Judd Trump to go one better than his defeat in the UK Championship Final and win a second Masters title since 2023.

The Warrior will fancy his chances of beating Si Jiahui in the first round. With a couple of big names in the top half set to knock each other out, I am backing Kyren Wilson ??" looks value to reach the final. He was a beaten finalist last year at The Masters, losing to Shaun Murphy, and I am going for Wilson to reach the final again.

Wolves were 16th last season and only two places above the drop zone. Cunha has left for Manchester United, and I am backing Wanderers might struggle for goals this season. They had a run of six wins in a row around April time that saved them last year. I don’t see that happening this season, and it ends up in relegation for Wolves.

Manchester United have added Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha to their ranks. With the likes of Rashford and Garnacho now departed, I am backing a more attacking United this season. The captain can really make an impact driving forward. Three times in the last five seasons, he has hit double figures in the league. With the Portuguese playmaker on free kicks and penalties, I can see him finishing with over 17 goals to be one of the top four scorers this season.

The Egyptian King scored 29 goals last season to finish Top Goalscorer in the Premier League. With the addition of Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, I am backing Mo Salah to have another big season for The Reds with goals and assists. Since 2017, the winger has scored eighteen plus goals each season and finished with the Golden Boot several times. I am backing Salah to be top scorer again this campaign.

The Germans last won the Champions League in 2020 and have won it twice in the last twelve seasons, so they are due. Jonathan Tah has arrived from Leverkusen and Luis Diaz from Liverpool. The front three of Olise, Diaz, and Kane with a strong midfielder with experience, I am backing Bayern Munich to win another European Cup.
