Whereas Fulham have overachieved this term to date, the same cannot be said of Liverpool, whose defence has continued to be their Achilles' heel despite all their attacking talent. I expect the Anfield 11 to win, but the Cottagers have the players to get a goal.

With the series gone, Stokes and co. are playing for pride only. They showed more grit in the fourth, two-day Test, but this wicket looks set for batting. Barring the fourth Test, the Aussies are by far stronger and more consistent of the two teams. They are the pick.

Starc has caused England innumerable problems this series since the opening Test, and he could be a bit of value in this market at 8/1.

With home advantage, Morocco look decent value at 11/4 to lift the trophy. Very talented squad, as shown by the run to the semis in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Not a fluke ??" they beat Spain and Portugal on the way to the semi-final. They have a 100% record in winning all their 2026 World Cup qualifiers. They should coast through their group.

Senegal have a deep squad and are in decent form. Like Morocco, they are unbeaten in their 10 World Cup qualifiers, winning 7 and drawing 3. There's great quality throughout the squad.

Luton are looking to bounce immediately back to The Championship following relegation last season. With no Wrexham or Birmingham, they look a decent bet. Recruited well pre-season and 7/2 looks a good price. Staking on this market and Promotion market.

I envisaged The Hatters to be around 1/2 to gain an automatic return to the Championship and was speechless when I saw odds against a month ago. I expect them to go up as Champions. This price looks a steal. Blues did us a massive turn at 3/1 last term, and Luton look in a similar mold. Off the field, business to enhance the squad looks positive. I really feel they will run away with this league.

Niall Ennis should make hay in this league. He was sent on loan last term, scoring 7 in 19 following a loan move in January from Stoke, and has now signed a permanent contract in the summer. I can see The Tangerines having a decent season with Niall's help.

Isak would be of interest were Liverpool to sign him, but 7/1 is skinny. With the Jota tragedy surely having an impact on Liverpool, United is in transition. Liam Delap at 40/1 could be a bit of value. He joined Chelsea and is an outstanding striker for his age. He will get better service and see more of the ball than he did at Ipswich Town. I can see him having an outstanding season for a young side who are growing in confidence. See him being the main penalty taker to boot. 40/1 is very good value as Haaland is too short as favorite, as is Salah getting 10/1 for a top 4 place.

France not atheir best but still reached the final of 2022 event, I can only see this price getting shorter they have won and been runners up in the last 2 events and Mpappe if he avoids injury looks a future superstar on the world stage.
