Five defeats in six for St Louis City, and I am tipping they won't be able to match the intensity of Aston Villa. The last friendly for Villa was 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt, and my tip is they will be better tonight to beat St Louis by a couple of goals in this pre-season friendly.

Mark Selby beat Shaun Murphy 6-0 in the last round. I am tipping he will continue where he left off in this quarter-final against Judd Trump. My tip is Selby wins 3-1 every four frames to win this match 6-2.

The American was top ten last weekend at the Scottish Open and closed with a 67 at Dundonald Links. She opened with a 69 too and I am tipping Lauren Coughlin can start well in this major to have a share of the lead at the AIG Women's Open.

The Irish golfer was top 20 last weekend at the Scottish Open, and I am tipping she will have a big week in this major championship. Leona Maguire has experience on links golf and is a multiple tour winner. My tip is she will have a very good week in Wales and has a low first round.

Sixth last week at the Scottish Open, and had she not closed with a 76, I feel she would have been second to Lottie Woad. The Danish golfer had rounds of 68, 66, and 67 the first three days, and I am tipping she can have another low round to start the AIG Women's Open.

Third last week at the 3M Open finishing strongly and I am tipping the Englishman will carry that form into the Wyndham Championship. He was 28th in this tournament last year and my tip is Matt Wallace has another good week.

The Canadian opened with a 60 last week at the 3M Open and closed with a 65. I am tipping Adam Svensson can start with another low round at this week's Wyndham Championship. He has finished 7th here the last two years.

7th and 14th the last two years at the Wyndham Championship, and last year he closed with a 63 here. The American can go low, and twelve months ago he had four rounds of 69 or better. Eric Cole is my tip for First Round Leader.

Two top-five finishes in the last three tournaments for Jake Knapp, and he finished third last week at the 3M Open. The American went for it on the 72nd hole but found the water. However, the willingness to take it on was impressive and tells me his game is in a good place. I am tipping Knapp can start well and be the first-round leader this week at the Wyndham Championship.

Five top-seven finishes in the last seven events, and the American has been playing some great golf of late. Third last week at the 3M Open, Pierceson Coody is trending towards a win, and I am tipping he will start the Wyndham Championship with a low round with his confidence so high.

Liverpool beat Bournemouth home and away last season and the last five head to head meetings with The Cherries were wins for Arne Slot's men. I am tipping on the opening night at Anfield that the champions Liverpool get off to a flying start with their first three points of the new campaign.

Fifth and sixth last season in the Premier League and Aston Villa and Newcastle should be a good game for the first early kick off of the new campaign. Villa's last two at home to The Toon were a win and a loss, I am tipping there won't be much between them this lunchtime and a point a piece is the tip at Villa Park.

Brighton have only won once in five at home to Fulham and The Cottagers have three wins and three draws in their nine visits to the Amex. Only one of the last eleven head to head meetings were an Albion win and I am tipping this afternoon they share the spoils for a point a piece.

Nottingham Forest only took a point from their last five home games last season and I am tipping this is a tricky home game to start the new season. Brentford won 2-0 at the City Ground in May and in the last eight Forest have only won once. Thomas Frank is now at Spurs so it's a new regime for The Bees and my tip is this ends in a draw away to Nottingham Forest.

The Thomas Frank era at Tottenham Hotspur starts at home to Burnley and it's a kind opening weekend fixture for Spurs. The last four head to head have been Tottenham wins against Burnley and I am tipping a home win against the Clarets for the North London side.

The Iceman won the World Championship in 2021, beating Gary Anderson in the final. He has reached the quarter-finals in three of the four years since. Gezzy has won other major events like the Grand Slam and the World Grand Prix. The way he played in the Premier League and is back enjoying his darts this past season, I am tipping Gerwyn Price will go all the way to the final of the 2026 World Championship.

Luke Littler is the defending champion, and last year he beat Michael van Gerwen in the final. The last two years he has reached the final, and I am tipping The Nuke will believe he owns the Alexandra Palace stage. Littler has one world title, and my tip is he claims number two at the PDC World Championship 2026.

England haven't won the Six Nations since 2020 but last year they finished second to France and really looked like a side growing in confidence. Twickenham performances can give this England side a real chance of going one better than twelve months ago and I am tipping they can become Six Nations Champions for an eighth time.

The last time the World Cup was hosted by the United States was back in 1994, and Italy were beaten in the final by Brazil. The Italians won the World Cup in 2006, and I am tipping the four-time winners have a talented squad and they can reach another final in the USA.

Spain won the World Cup back in 2010 over in South Africa, and I am tipping they have the best squad assembled for the 2026 edition in the USA. Spain comes into this tournament as European Champions after winning the UEFA tournament in 2024, and it made them record winners with four titles. They have won three of the last five Euros, and with Yamal, Williams, and Rodri ready to spearhead the Spanish to more glory, my tip is Spain becomes two-time World Cup winners.

Spain won the 2024 UEFA European Championship in Germany, and it was their fourth tournament win, which made them the most successful in its history. The European Champions will have the same squad with the likes of Yamal, Williams, and Rodri. I am tipping the 2010 World Cup winners can win it again to make them two-time champions of the world.
