Two teams going in different directions. Sheffield could yet challenge for the playoffs after two wins in a row. Oxford are struggling, second from bottom.

Arsenal
50 WIN
@1.53
Win
26
Leaders ??" Arsenal can put a big gap between themselves and Man City with a win here, and they ought to be able to get all the points. Bournemouth have no win in eight now. Although they are hard to beat at home (one defeat all season), they face their toughest test so far. Arsenal also have the likes of Jesus and Havertz back in contention after lengthy injury lay-offs.
15:00 Brighton v Burnley
Draw
50 WIN

Neither side can seem to buy a win at the moment, and Brighton have been held twice in a month by struggling West Ham. This can give Burnley hope, particularly after a couple of recent draws with Bournemouth and Everton.
15:00 Wolverhampton v West Ham
West Ham
50 WIN

West Ham looked improved last time when drawing 2-2 with Brighton. Wolves are still without a win, and although their performances are improving, this basement battle may be influenced by Bowen, who seems to be carrying his team.

No price but this one was decent quality on the flat when trained by Haggas and looks a useful recruit now for Mullins, who will be aiming it at some big novice prizes.

50 WIN
@4.75
Lose
-50
Villa's winning run came to an abrupt end recently when they were beaten heavily by Arsenal, and that may have been a confidence beater. Their performance wasn't great that day, and Forest could have a say in this. The visitors won 0-3 at Anfield this season and are not without a chance if they regain that form.

Bare form. Nothing to get too excited about, but this is a big drop in class after taking on some of the best previously. Strong each-way claims at least, if at his best.

Looks a decent price for the away win when you see that the home side have just one point from eleven played this season. Al Khaleej Saihat are nothing special, but they ought to be taking this against the league's biggest strugglers.

@1.53
Lose
-50
The reverse of this finished 3-3 less than a month ago, and it was a fair reflection, with shots on target and possession being similar. Leeds haven't got a great away record, and at home Liverpool might have a bit too much for their opponents this time.
15:00 Derby v Middlesbrough
Derby
50 WIN
@3.12
Win

Middlesbrough are having something of a lull in form after two defeats and a draw in their last three. They have failed to score in three matches too. Derby's form isn't very good either, but with home advantage they might edge this one.

This looks like a match with preference for the Mullins runner, who won last time after a good fourth place in the Triumph in March. The stable is likely to have plans for another tilt this season, so the horse would be expected to win a race like this.

@1.44

Villa won the reverse of this earlier this month, but this will be harder in London where the Gunners have won eight of their nine played, drawing the other. Villa are the form team in the league, but this will likely be their toughest match yet.
20:15 Man Utd v Wolverhampton

@5.25

Wolves are improving a little, and the draw looks like value against the hosts, who are struggling to keep a clean sheet. Wolves have scored on recent away days at Arsenal and Liverpool and could be more involved here.
19:45 Forest Green v Truro City
Forest Green
50 WIN
@1.29

Forest Green suffered a rare defeat last time, losing to Brackley, but this ought to be fairly straightforward. Forest Green have a strong home record, winning eight and losing just once. Truro are yet to win on the road this season. The visitors have conceded thirteen and scored just one in their last four away games.
19:30 Burnley v Newcastle
Burnley
50 WIN

Neither side is playing particularly well, and Newcastle are struggling on the road, losing three of their last four away games. Burnley have drawn their last two matches and can build on that now against an out-of-form visitor.

Chelsea look like they've blown their chance at the title after some poor performances and are worth taking on after just one win in five matches. Bournemouth have drawn three of their last four and scored four at Old Trafford recently.

Only one draw in the combined sixteen most recently played games involving these two, so we look for a winner. With Forest holding home advantage and Everton failing to score in all their last three, the vote goes to Forest.

West Ham

Two out-of-form teams here, so home advantage may play its part. Brighton ran Arsenal close last time but are lacking the cutting edge needed to win. The Hammers will always have an attacking threat while Bowen is on the pitch.

19:45 Middlesbrough v Hull

Hull can move to within 2 points of Boro if they win this. Their away form suggests that this price is somewhat generous. Hull have beaten Stoke and Millwall away recently and have scored at least twice in all four most recent away games.

Juve ought to be winning this. At first it would seem unlikely that Pisa will score, such is their poor home goalscoring record (1 in 8). However, Juve do concede a few themselves, so this looks like the value here.

No win in four in the league for Brighton now, and this away trip won't be easy. Arsenal weren't at their best when drawing with Palace recently in the League Cup, but will be up for this. Arsenal are seven wins from eight at home and still unbeaten. Banker of the weekend.

Wolves are getting a little better, and although they're still without a win, they ran leaders Arsenal close to a draw recently. If Liverpool are having another poor performance, they might get something here.

West Ham have improved at home recently after a poor start and were possibly unlucky to not get a point when going down 2-3 at home to Villa last time. A repeat of that performance would give them a big chance here.

Only three points separate these two, and both have defensive problems. Man Utd have conceded in all but one of their matches this season, and Newcastle have struggled on the road.

Hard to oppose Al Hilal Riyadh, who are unbeaten at home this season and have won all of their last six matches. Al Khaleej Saihat are decent enough but struggle against the better teams. They were easily beaten by league leaders Al Nassr last time.

Bolton lost for the first time in eight last time, but they still have the best form in the league. That was away at Wycombe, too, and now back at home against a poor travelling team, they can get back to winning ways. Rotherham have one win in eight and have lost their last three.

Southampton have picked up the pace after a slow start and look value here. Oxford are struggling to win, with just one victory in eight. Southampton are the division's third-best form side and have won five of their last eight.

Looks a big price for this. Wednesday's fate looks sealed after the points deduction and poor performances all season. No win in fifteen now for the Owls. Hull, on the other hand, are one of the form teams in this league and will be eyeing the automatic promotion places after moving into fourth recently. Hull have won their last two away games, scoring five in the process, and this looks even easier.
