14:00 Burnley v Liverpool
Liverpool
50 WIN
@1.33
Win
17
Very tough to look past Liverpool here. They've won their last 5 matches in a row vs Burnley and can extend their start to the season to 4/4 wins with another victory on Sunday.

20:00 Brentford v Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea look a good bet at almost even money this evening against rivals Brentford. The hosts have already lost disappointing games vs Sunderland and Forest this year and Chelsea have lost just 2 of their last 20, winning 16.
17:30 West Ham v Tottenham
Tottenham
50 WIN
@2.15
Win
57
West Ham had an important win against Forest before the international break but for me that papered over a lot of the cracks. They've won only 1 of 10 at home - vs Leicester - and Spurs look an improved and more assured side so far this campaign
15:00 Bournemouth v Brighton
Draw
Two excellent sides vying for European football and both with similar starts to the season, I expect this to be a close game. Both sides have goals in them too. Bournemouth have drawn 2 of 4 at home. Not much to split between them.
15:00 Crystal Palace v Sunderland
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace are missing important players in Wharton and Sarr, but I still think they've got enough quality to win here. They are such a solid side under Oliver Glasner, unbeaten in 4 to start the season and Sunderland have lost 4 of 5 on the road.
15:00 Everton v Aston Villa
Draw
Everton have failed to beat Villa in their last 6 h2h home matches, losing 4, but they've started well at the new stadium whilst Villa have struggled in their opening to the campaign. Good players on both sides and looks like it should be tight when considering the previous form. Draw for me.
15:00 Fulham v Leeds
Draw
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
Leeds have drawn 5 of their last 7 matches heading into this and they'd certainly take a point against Fulham having been well beaten on their last trip to London, albeit at Arsenal. Fulham have drawn 2 of 4 themselves and whilst they're a decent side, in recent years, they've dropped points vs lowly sides at home.
15:00 Newcastle v Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton
50 WIN
@8.50
Lose
-50
Newcastle have started very poorly with two draws and a loss in their opening three matches, scoring just once from open play. Wolves are an inconsistent side but they've actually won 5 of their last 10 competitive away matches and at 15/2 look worth an outside bet against the out of sorts hosts.
15:00 Southend v Boston Utd
Boston Utd
50 WIN
@8.00
Lose
-50
Boston beat Southend 3-0 when the sides last met in March and at 7/1 they look well worth a bet this afternoon. They've already drawn at previous leaders Hartlepool and won impressively on the road at Aldershot too. Southend had a 3-2 reversal to Wealdstone recently.
15:00 Swindon v Harrogate Town
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.85
Win
43
Swindon are red hot in front of goal right now, netting 3 times in their last 3 matches in succession. They host a Harrogate side who have scored in 6 of their last 8 road games too, so I envisage goals here today.
15:00 Wrexham v QPR
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Wrexham often have a lot of goals in their matches, with 4 of the last 5 actually having over 3.5 goals netted in them, 3 of which had over 4.5. QPR's last four in a row have seen over 2.5 goals too including losses of 7-1, 2-1 and 3-2 on the road.
12:30 Accrington Stanley v Colchester
Draw
50 WIN
@3.25
Lose
-50
Two of the league's draw specialists go head to head and at 9/4 that wouldn't be a surprise outcome here. Colchester have drawn 2 of their last 3, Accrington 3 of 5, and neither score many.
12:30 Arsenal v Nottm Forest
Arsenal
50 WIN
@1.38
Win
19
Even without the injured Saka, Arsenal should be too strong here. Their recent form at the Emirates is excellent and Forest were humbled 3-0 by West Ham last time out. Arsenal have won 3-0, 2-1, 5-0 and 5-0 in this fixture in recent years.
12:30 Bradford v Huddersfield
Bradford
50 WIN
@2.50
Win
75
Bradford have remarkably won 18 of their last 20 matches at Valley Parade and you'd be hard pressed to bet against them here as a result. Huddersfield have started well this season but have lost their last two road games at Blackpool and Barnsley.
12:30 Charlton v Millwall
Draw
50 WIN
@3.10
Win
105
Neither of these sides score many, both averaging fewer than a goal per game, and I'm expecting a cagey affair between the fierce rivals. Both will be desperate not to lose and they may cancel each other out as a result with 0-0 and 1-1 possible.
12:30 Crawley Town v Cheltenham
Draw
50 WIN
@3.70
Lose
-50
Two failing sides who are both short of form in equal measure, with each losing 7 of their last 10 matches. Hard to imagine either keeping the other out defensive, but they score similar numbers of goals and a score draw seems the best bet.
12:30 Northampton v Blackpool
Northampton
50 WIN
@2.62
Win
81
Blackpool's form has hit a rocky patch with 5 losses in their last 7 and they're particularly weak away from home. Northampton have won their last two matches, both with clean sheets, as their form continues to improve.
12:30 Oxford Utd v Leicester
Leicester
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Good value for a Leicester side that have 3 wins from their opening 4 matches and face an Oxford side bereft of confidence. The hosts have lost 3 of their last 4 including a 6-0 drubbing by Brighton.
12:30 Preston v Middlesbrough
Draw
50 WIN
@3.30
Win
115
Two sides that both give little away defensively - conceding fewer than a one per game on average - and don't lose many. Middlesbrough have been brilliant in winning 4/4 but this is a tough game against Preston who lose very few at deepdale. Draw for me.
12:30 Yeovil v Woking
Draw
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
Yeovil and Woking have been very similarly matches so far with 7pts and 8pts respectively from their opening 8 league matches and a similar number of goals scored too. Their latest meeting here in January ended 1-1.

18:30 Brive v Valence Romans
Valence Romans
To Win
50 WIN
@11.00
Lose
-50
Valence Romans have started excellently with 2/2 wins and scoring 30+ points on both occasions. Brive have just 1 win in their last 4 and don't look the smart bet here.
Valence Romans 20.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.85
Lose
-50
Valence Romans are a much improved side with 7 wins in their last 10 including 2/2 this season. Brive have covered this spread in only 2 of their last 20 matches.
18:30 Nevers v Carcassonne
Carcassonne
To Win
50 WIN
@12.00
Lose
-50
Nevers lost 49-12 at Beziers last time out and it makes them far too short with the bookies here. Carcassone have 8 wins in 9 dating back to their promotion season last year and showed their quality with a win vs Oyonnax last week.
Carcassonne 20.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Carcassone have won 8 of their last 9 competitive matches and are favourable on what is a big spread here. Nevers have lost 4 of 5 including some heavy losses.
18:30 Soyaux Angouleme v Dax
Dax
To Win
50 WIN
@6.00
Lose
-50
Dax must start winning soon after starting the season on -5pts and this presents a decent opportunity. Angolueme have lost 3 of 4, conceding 25+ points in all 4 and aren't the strongest at home.
Dax 12.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.91
Win
46
Angouleme have covered this spread in only 1 of their last 8 matches, losing 5 of them. Dax are a competitive side who welcome back some key players from injury and have more quality than the bookies are giving them credit for here.
18:00 Provence v Biarritz
Biarritz
To Win
50 WIN
@9.00
Lose
-50
Biarritz are worth a bet at 8/1 against a Provence side that have lost their opening two including a shock defeat vs Valence Romans. Last year's h2h matches were split.
Biarritz 18.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Provence are winless in their opening two games and dating back to last season its 5 losses in 7. Biarritz are capable of surprise including a win at Oyonnax last year.

14:00 Kenya v Seychelles
Draw
50 WIN
@17.00
Lose
-50
Seychelles are an improving side and have run Angola (3-2) and Namibia (3-1) in recent times. Kenya sit 5th of the 6 sides in the group and don't possess many stellar names. Far too short with the bookies in my eyes and a draw at 16/1 is big value.
14:00 Namibia v Sao Tome e Principe
Sao Tome e Principe
50 WIN
@23.00
Lose
-50
Sao Tome continue to improve and led Equatorial Guinea 2-0 last week before fading away to lose 3-2. They are a competitive side though and are a big price against a Namibia side who have only 2 wins in 16.

15:40 Irish Open
Benjamin Hebert
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@201.00
Lose
-50
Hebert is a talented player and comes in with some solid form after finishing -10 at the European Masters. His final round was a 65 including 5 birdies in 6 holes and that kind of streak could see him take an early lead here at the Irish Open.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Bezuidenhoet had an excellent swing in the UK a few months back at The Open and Scottish Open and his game should suit this course well. Knows how to mix it in tricky conditions too.
Haotong Li
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
@51.00
Lose
-50
Haotong Li is the sort of player that can shoot a lights out opening round but sometimes struggles to do it over four rounds. He's had two top 10s in his last 4 including that effort at The Open and 50/1 for him to lead is worth a bet.
Jacob Skov Olesen
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@101.00
Lose
-50
Jacob Skov Olesen has got off to a hot start in a few tournaments this year including at The Open and he comes in with some form after finishing T3 at the Nexo Championship recently.
Seamus Power
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@67.00
Lose
-50
Seamus Power's form has been inconsistent this year but he's a talented striker of the ball and knows this course inside out. He'll be roared on by the home crowd and his -13 effort at the 3M Open recently will give him confidence. Capable of a strong opening round.

Carlos Sainz

@51.00

Carlos Sainz was third in both P1 & P2 on Friday and the Williams car looks well suited to this track. If Sainz can quality well then 50/1 may look like a very big price indeed.
Lewis Hamilton
Win Race
50 WIN
@41.00
Lose
-50
It's been a rough year for Lewis Hamilton but he looked strong in Friday's practice and this Ferrari seems to be improving each week. Hamilton has a good record at this track and if he qualifies well he'll be in the mix.
Carlos Sainz - Yes
Podium Finish
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
Carlos Sainz was third in both practice sessions and he's capable of a big run. He's had a good record at Monza including 4th last year and he has nothing to lose here.
Franco Colapinto - Yes
Points Finish
50 WIN
@21.00
Lose
-50
Franco Colapinto continues to improve and has a strong 11th place showing at the Dutch Grand Prix last week. The Argentine continues to improve and is worth a bet at 20/1 for a points finish here.
Kimi Antonelli
Fastest Lap
50 WIN
@34.00
Lose
-50
Kimi Antonelli has twice has the fastest lap already this year to go with a couple from George Russell. It's something Mercedes clearly target alongside their finishes in midfield so 33/1 well worth a bet.
Lance Stroll - Yes
Top 6 Finish
50 WIN
@21.00
Lose
-50
Lance Stroll has finished 7th in three of the last four Grand Prixs, right on the cusp of that top 6 finish. It makes the 20/1 on offer for top 6 looks an appealing prospect, particularly if he qualifies well.
