17:30 CD Alaves v Real Oviedo
CD Alaves
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Oviedo are at the foot of the points table with eleven points from seventeen matches played. They have a goal difference of -19 and have scored only seven goals in total. Alavés are fifteenth and have won three of their last five. At home they have a decent record, winning four and drawing one of their last seven matches. They have won six and drawn two of the eight home head-to-heads. Alavés to win is the forecast.
17:30 Man City v Chelsea
Man City
50 WIN
@1.62
Open
0
Chelsea parted company with their head coach in the last few days in acrimonious circumstances. This game would have been difficult prior to that, but now it looks a massive task for the Blues. City are in third place, with success today moving them into second. Chelsea are in fifth but are eleven points behind today's hosts. City have won eight and drawn one of their last nine fixtures and look good value at 1.62 to beat Chelsea.
15:00 Bristol City v Preston
Preston
50 WIN
@4.00
Win
150
Preston had a comfortable 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday to put them back into the play-off places. They have several players returning from injury and suspension, which will boost their squad strength for this difficult fixture. Bristol have a decent home record but face a team in fine recent form. A price of 4.00 looks on the generous side for a PNE success.
15:00 Cardiff v Wigan
Cardiff
50 WIN
@1.70
Win
35
Top-of-the-table Cardiff play host to an inconsistent Wigan side. City have won ten of twelve home matches this term, whereas Wigan have struggled on the road, with only a couple of away victories from twelve played. Cardiff to win.
15:00 Everton v Brentford
Everton
50 WIN
@2.50
Open
0
Despite a long injury list, Everton have still managed to pick up seven points from their last five league fixtures. Brentford won their latest away game at struggling Wolves, but lost their previous five Premiership road trips. Everton have won three and drawn three of the last six league meetings with Brentford. Everton to win.
15:00 Leicester Tigers v Saracens
Leicester Tigers
To Win
50 WIN
@2.20
Win
60
Home advantage could be a crucial factor in the outcome of this match. Leicester have an excellent home record and have won their last nine home games in this league. Tigers have beaten Saracens in six of the last seven home clashes. Saracens have a poor away record, with seven losses in their last ten games in all competitions. Go with Leicester to win at the value price of 2.20.

The last ten meetings of these clubs at Welford Road have all finished with fewer than 52 total points scored. Sarries have had six of their last eight away league fixtures with under 55 match points. Take Under 55.50 match points.
15:00 Newcastle v Crystal Palace
Newcastle
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
After a strong start to their season, things have dropped away of late for the Eagles, and they won't be relishing this visit to St. James' Park. Newcastle have a strong home record in all competitions, unbeaten in their last ten home fixtures, winning eight of them. They have won three and drawn two of the last five home head-to-heads versus today's opponents. Newcastle are the selection to win.
15:00 Tottenham v Sunderland
Tottenham
50 WIN
@1.85
Open
0
After a bright start to their league campaign, Sunderland have gradually slipped down the standings. On their travels, they have only scored four goals in nine away matches. Spurs have had some improved results in recent weeks. Surprisingly, their home form has been disappointing, but there are signs of better form in front of their adoring support. Spurs have dominated past Premiership meetings, winning ten and drawing four of the last fourteen head-to-heads. Forecast is for a Tottenham victory.
13:00 Sevilla v Levante
Sevilla
50 WIN
@1.75
Lose
-50
Sevilla to beat Levante is the prediction. The home side are in tenth place in the league, with Levante back in twentieth. At home, Sevilla have won three of their last five fixtures. Levante have found things difficult on the road, with three consecutive defeats. Sevilla have dominated meetings with Levante, winning eight of the previous nine, and are my selection to win today.
12:30 Leeds v Man Utd
Draw
50 WIN
@3.50
Win
125
Games between these teams have developed into a bitter rivalry. Leeds are much improved in recent weeks, which has coincided with a change of shape to their side. The hosts are unbeaten in their last six league games, but have drawn four of them. Two of the last five home head-to-heads with Man United have finished as draws. On the road, the Red Devils have drawn two of their last five, and my prediction is for this match to end in a draw.

They have won five of eight road games played this season, only conceding six goals in total on their travels. Atalanta are in tenth place but have only won three of nine home fixtures.

Pau are doing really well in this league this season. They are currently in second place in the standings, only one point behind Toulouse. Lyon are in twelfth position. Home form is usually strong in this league, but Lyon have already lost two at home and have the third-worst home record in the league. Pau have won three of six road games, giving them the joint-best away record. Pau have won the last three meetings with Lyon and look great value to win this afternoon.

Pretoria have one win from their three games played to date. Durban have also won one match. Durban were unlucky in their last game, losing in a Super Over against Joburg. They have a powerful batting lineup with the likes of captain Aiden Markram. Jos Buttler, Klaassen, Kane Williamson and Devon Conway are all world-class batters. Durban to win is the selection.

Has drifted in price this morning from an overnight 7/2. The current price looks good value. Won a high-quality chase at Wincanton in November, jumping well throughout. Likes to be among the front runners from an early stage. Upped in the handicap for that success, but trainer Anthony Honeyball will have the horse readied to produce another decent run.
15:00 Brighton v Burnley
Draw
50 WIN
@4.60
Lose
-50
Both sides are on longish runs without a win. Brighton had to fight hard to grab a midweek draw against a struggling West Ham,and have drawn three of their last five league matches. Four of the six home meetings with Burnley in the Premiership have ended all square,and overall seven of twelve Premiership head to heads have finished with the points shared. Burnley have drawn two of their last three games in this division being drawn. Prediction is for this fixture to end in a Draw.

Fourth in the points table, Carlisle play host to Wealdstone, who are in 12th position but 20 points behind the Cumbrian side. At home, Carlisle have picked up 27 points from 13 fixtures. On the road, Wealdstone have lost six of 13 matches. They are winless in their last six away games. These sides have played each other just once, back in August, with Carlisle winning 1??"0. Prediction: a win for Carlisle.
15:00 Chorley v Leamington
Chorley
50 WIN
@1.50
Void

Chorley currently sit in eleventh place in this division, with their strong home record being their main source of reward. They have picked up 24 points from 12 home league games, which is the second-best record in this league. Visitors Leamington are bottom of the standings, having won only three times in 23 games. On their travels they have yet to record a victory, drawing four of twelve away fixtures and conceding 22 goals in those road games. Chorley have dominated home meetings with Leamington and are my selection to win again.
15:00 Wolverhampton v West Ham
Draw
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
Forecast for this relegation battle is that the match will finish as a draw. Wolves are a gradually improving team but have yet to record a win this season. They grabbed an excellent draw at Man United in their last game. West Ham were unlucky not to beat Brighton in midweek, twice being ahead only to end up drawing.

Trained by Seamus Mullins. One win and two places from three races this season. That win came over course and distance last November. Decent form on the Flat in early career. Last outing was over a longer trip but will benefit from today's distance and has a good each-way chance.

@1.42

Toulouse to beat Perpignan is the prediction for this fixture. After an indifferent start to their season, they are starting to get back some of their better form that made them the top club in Europe last term. Perpignan are finding things difficult this campaign and face an uphill battle to avoid end-of-season relegation.
13:30 Sharks v Lions
Lions
To Win
50 WIN
@4.50
Win

Sharks are languishing down in 14th place in the table, having won only two of seven played. The Lions have won three games. In head-to-heads between these South African clubs, the Lions hold a slight advantage with five wins in the last eight. They have also won three of the last four URC meetings. Both teams have lacked consistency, so at the price of 4.50 the Lions look the better value to win.
Lions 11.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.91
Win

Lions have been given an 11.5-point start for this game, which seems on the generous side. They have won one more match in the URC than the Sharks this season and have a slightly better head-to-head record against their fellow countrymen. Take the points start with the Lions at the price of 1.91.

Aston Villa
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Prior to their heavy defeat at Arsenal in midweek, Aston Villa had put together an impressive run of results that put them in a Champions League qualifying spot. Under Sean Dyche, Forest looked an improved side, but in recent games their form has dropped off and they are edging closer to the relegation zone. Villa have a strong home record and are my selection to beat Nottingham Forest.
11:30 Como v Udinese
Como

@1.78

Como under Cesc Fàbregas are having a great season, and are 7th, in fourth spot in the standings. At home they are unbeaten, winning four and drawing three. They have only conceded three goals in total in those seven home fixtures. Udinese are mid-table but have won only once in their last seven games. Como won 4-1 the last time these teams met and are my selection to win today's game.

At home they have won all four league fixtures and, overall, have won ten of their last twelve competitive home games.

Ex-Brentford boss Thomas Frank brings his Spurs side to face a team with a strong recent home record. Brentford have picked up 13 points from their last five home Premiership fixtures.

City are going really well with eight consecutive wins in all competitions. But I think they could find it difficult to grab all three points at Sunderland tonight.
