14:30 West Ham v QPR
QPR
50 WIN
@5.25
Lose
-50
West Ham's recent form has been poor as they labour toward the bottom of the league, and they will make changes for this. Rangers are going well in the Championship and can take advantage of a team lacking morale.

Mullins has two smart-looking horses in this, with Townend going for Sober, who showed ability in France before winning at Royal Ascot last summer. Jumping was a bit iffy on the only NH start, but if that has improved, he will be hard to stop here.
14:00 Portsmouth v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
@1.22
Win
11
No cupset here, but possibly a big score as Arsenal welcome more players back from injury. Arteta will certainly rotate, but all the big guns will be on the bench if needed. Portsmouth have nothing to lose and will give this a go, but the gulf in class is too big, it seems.
12:00 Derby v Leeds
Draw
50 WIN
@3.60
Lose
-50
This could be pretty close, with Leeds likely making a lot of changes as they fight for Premier League survival. They have a poor away record this season, too. Derby are no great shakes but will be up for this. With home advantage, they can take this to extra time at least.

20:00 Charlton v Chelsea
Chelsea

@1.36

Charlton have just one win in their last six league games, and that was at home to struggling Oxford. I'm expecting Chelsea to field a strong side for this, as it may be their best chance at a trophy this season.

Close second to Yorkshire Glory recently and has a good record at this track. Slightly disappointing last time, but remains on a good mark and, with the right tactics, can be involved.
17:45 Tottenham v Aston Villa
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.65
Win
32
The league fixture between these two finished with both teams scoring, and since then both teams have shown the ability to score goals. Neither will want extra time and penalties in an already busy fixture list, which may lead to an open game and many chances at both ends.

Won over CD twice and is a prolific all-weather winner. Just held on last time, and although up in weight again, connections have him out just a week later. He can be very much involved once again.
15:00 Man City v Exeter
Man City
50 WIN
@1.06
Win

This ought to be a no-contest even with the home side likely fielding a youthful and inexperienced XI. The gulf in class between the Premier League title challengers and League One 14th-place Exeter looks way too big.

Ran at a decent level in France before joining the Skeltons in the UK. Made an impressive British debut last time at Cheltenham when runner-up in a Grade 2 despite losing two shoes during the race. Looks the one to beat, with debut winner Wertpol the main danger.

Palace may rest players here, but they will leave some on the bench just in case. Tight price, but this would be an embarrassment for the holders if they were not to win this.

This might look like a cupset, but Wolves have improved a lot recently. At home they have the ability to take this against Football League opposition. Not a great price, but hard to see a different outcome.

19:30 Preston v Wigan
Preston
50 WIN
@1.91
Lose
-50
Preston may rest players here as they make a push for promotion to the Premier League, but they still ought to have enough at home against a team 35 places below them in the league. It's taken penalties in both of the first two rounds for Wigan to progress, and the visitors have just two wins from 13 in the league.
19:30 Wrexham v Nottm Forest
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@1.75
Win
38
Wrexham have scored in all their home games this season. Although they face Premier League opposition, they will still be going for this. Forest have the players to win and ought to be scoring here. They put two past West Ham in London recently and got a consolation at Villa two games ago.

Moderate-looking race and there may not be many who get into it. Alba Du Brath looks the obvious choice on form despite being beaten last time. The winner of that race was on debut and looked a few classes above its rivals. Today's rivals are at least somewhat exposed, and question marks are raised over their ability to stay this trip.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team they were last season, and this will be tricky. They beat Arsenal earlier in the season but have gone downhill since. Arsenal have a strong home record too and have many players returning from injury.

Burnley
50 WIN
@5.25
Lose
-50
Man Utd managed to hold Leeds and get a draw at the weekend, but now find themselves without a permanent manager after the sacking of Amorim recently. Burnley have little to lose here, being adrift in the relegation mire and able to play freely. They have a chance here.
Yes (BTTS)

50 WIN
@1.91

Just over half of Burnley's matches this season have finished BTTS, and 75% of Man Utd's matches have finished the same, including 7 of their last 8. Those stats suggest goals in this.
20:15 Newcastle v Leeds
Newcastle

@1.70

Newcastle have a good home record, while Leeds aren't the best of travelers despite being on a decent unbeaten run. Home advantage will play its part in what could be a close game.
19:30 Everton v Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton
50 WIN
@4.80
Lose
-50
Wolves finally won for the first time last match, and with that confidence they could do so again. Everton come into this on the back of a home defeat. That makes it three out of four defeats at home, including two matches where they conceded four.
19:30 Man City v Brighton

50 WIN
@5.50
Win

City have drawn two in a row now, and this won't be as easy as it seems. Brighton have had some decent outings on the road this season, and the value is with them if the home side are lacking confidence after the gap between them and Arsenal was extended.

Little to choose between these two sides, who are both struggling to get a win. Both are conceding at an alarming rate, too. Home advantage will play its part, though, so we go for West Ham, who have had some decent performances this season at home. This looks an easier game than many other home games they've played recently.

West Brom may be a bit light on goals in recent games, but this is their chance to find the net. The Foxes' last eight have finished with both teams scoring, and there is no reason to say that this should be any different.

This might be close, but Leicester can just edge this. West Brom have lost four in a row on the road now but could get a consolation due to the home side's poor defensive record. All eight of Leicester's most recent matches finished BTTS.

Only Burnley, West Ham and Wolves have poorer home records than Spurs, and Sunderland have been the surprise package of the season so far. They don't score so many on the road, but are hard to beat, and the value is very much with the away win here.

Interesting that the promoted club are now favourites to win this. They are strong at home, whereas Man U are missing players due to injury and AFCON. With that in mind, this could be close, with the teams sharing the spoils.

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

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.
