Hearts are top of the Scottish Premiership on 54 points. They're a huge 34 points better off than their opponents St Mirren, so a Hearts win does seem likely. However, the last seven times that Hearts have played St Mirren away in the Scottish Premiership, they've only managed to win once. So it's not quite the formality that the league table would suggest. Four of those seven meetings finished as a draw, so I'm happy to back another draw here.

All of the last six head-to-head meetings between these two sides in Paisley have finished with both teams scoring. BTTS looks a solid bet here.

So it's not quite the formality that the league table would suggest. Four of those seven meetings finished as draws, and all four were score draws. St Mirren are the league's lowest-scoring team, so I'll back a low-scoring score draw.

All of the last four head-to-head meetings between these two sides have finished with under 2.5 goals scored. A low-scoring game seems likely here.

Burnley are without a win in their last 14 games in the Premier League. Sunderland are still unbeaten at home in the Premier League, so the Mackems look a solid bet to win this meeting between two of the sides that were promoted from the Championship last season. All of the last four head-to-head meetings between these two sides have finished with under 2.5 goals and a clean sheet for at least one of the teams. So, I'm backing a 1-0 win for Sunderland.

Manchester City have won at White Hart Lane in three of the last four visits, including winning the last two in the Premier League. City look a decent bet here.

Aston Villa have won 12 of their last 13 home games in all competitions. Brentford have also never won a game at Villa Park, so Aston Villa look a solid bet here.

Four of the last five away games for Rangers have finished with both teams scoring. For me, BTTS looks a solid bet.

These two have met twice so far in the Scottish Premiership this season, and both games were very tight affairs, with Rangers winning by a single goal to nil. Another very tight game seems likely again here, in my opinion, and Hibernian are unbeaten in their last four home games, winning three of those four. I fancy Hibernian to get a draw here against Rangers. Four of the last five away games for Rangers have finished with both teams scoring, so I'm backing a score draw.

Four of the last five head-to-head meetings between these two have finished with under 2.5 goals scored, so 1-1 looks a reasonable prediction for this game.

Barnsley have only managed to win once in their last games, while Stevenage have only managed to win once in their last 9 games. With neither side being in any kind of form that makes them a good bet, a draw looks like a solid bet here.

All of the last four head-to-head meetings between these two sides in League Two have finished as draws. Another very close game seems likely here.

Cambridge United are in fantastic form and come into this after having won all of their last five games in League Two. However, Oldham Athletic can be a very stubborn team, and at home they're unbeaten in their last ten. Cambridge United might have to settle for a point here.

Bradford City are 5th in League One while Doncaster Rovers are way down in 21st place. Despite the gap in league position, I'm backing Doncaster Rovers to get something here. That's because Bradford City are in poor form, having lost 4 of their last 5 games in League One. Doncaster Rovers, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last 4 games, winning 3 of those 4.

Southampton are six games without a win away from home in the Championship, and that makes them a very risky bet here. However, Stoke City are four without a win at home in the Championship, so they too look a risky bet. For me, the draw looks like the best bet here.

Lincoln City are in 2nd place in League One and they're in excellent form. The Imps are unbeaten in their last 10 games, and at home they're unbeaten in 8, winning 7 of those 8 games. Bradford City are 4th in League One and are only 6 points behind Lincoln City, with a game in hand too. However, their recent form isn't particularly good, with 3 defeats in their last 4 League One games. Therefore, I believe that Lincoln City look the safer bet here. Their meeting earlier in the season finished 0-0, so I'll back a narrow 1-0 win for Lincoln City.

Three of the last five head-to-head meetings between these two sides in La Liga have finished as a draw. Another close game seems likely here.

Juventus have lost only once in their last 9 games in all competitions. Napoli are unbeaten in their last 9 games in all competitions but have drawn 4 of their last 5. Both teams are in good enough form to suggest that both will get something from this game. Therefore, a draw looks a decent bet.

Man U may have won the "We Beat Manchester City" trophy last weekend, but there's a strong chance those giddy out-of-town Reds will come crashing down to earth this afternoon after Arsenal give them a reality check. Arsenal haven't lost a single game at home in any competition yet, and only Liverpool and Manchester City have taken anything from the Emirates. Arsenal also have a very decent recent record against Man U in the Premier League ??" unbeaten in the last six head-to-head meetings, winning five of those six Premier League matches. I'll go for a solid win for Arsenal.

The last four head-to-head meetings between these two sides in the Premier League have finished with under 2.5 goals scored.

Arsenal's last three victories against Man Utd in the Premier League have come with a clean sheet. BTTS No looks a decent bet.

Brest are 10th in Ligue 1 and they're hosting Toulouse, who sit in 8th place, just 4 points better off. Brest have won their last three home games in Ligue 1, while Toulouse are five matches unbeaten away from home in all competitions. Two of the last four visits to Brest for Toulouse have finished as draws, and another very close game seems likely here.

Four of the last five home games in the Scottish Premiership for Hearts have finished with under 2.5 goals scored. Unders look worth a bet here.

This is a huge game at the top of the Scottish Premiership and one that could pretty much end any title hopes for Celtic should they lose. Hearts can open up a huge nine-point gap if they win, and they're in good enough form to suggest they'll do just that. Hearts have won six of their last seven games in the Scottish Premiership and have also won both head-to-head meetings this season. However, Celtic reinstated Martin O'Neill for the second time after sacking another manager, and Celtic are unbeaten in the four games since his return. A draw might suit both teams, to be honest, as Celtic will be desperate to avoid defeat while Hearts would maintain their six-point advantage on Celtic. Both meetings between the two sides this season saw both teams score, so I'll back a score draw, and 1-1 seems a reasonable prediction.

Bologna have hit a patch of poor form, having won just 1 of their last 8 games in all competitions. However, their away form is very decent, with just 1 defeat away from home in Serie A in their last 9. Genoa are unbeaten in their last 4 games, 3 of which have finished as draws. I'm happy backing a draw here.

Nice are 8 without a win now in Ligue 1. However, Nantes aren't exactly in good form themselves, with just one win from their last nine games in Ligue 1. Neither side can be trusted to win the game, in my opinion, and a draw looks a decent bet.
