This could be an entertaining affair, with both sides playing entertaining football. I envisage the line being 10.5; this therefore looks on the low side. Overs is the call.

Neither side are overly physical, but fixtures are coming thick and fast, so there may be some tired legs as the game goes on. With a lot at stake, I can see there being bookings. I envisaged the line being 4.5 at 4. I'm happy to get involved in this market.

20:15 Man Utd v Wolverhampton

Man Utd

50 WIN

@1.40

Lose

-50

Difficult to know, especially with the captain missing. United have finally turned the corner, but they should beat Wolves, who have made the worst start in PL history. Still looking good for their gritty win. 2/5 is skinny, but my price on the prominent match was 2/9, so getting very good odds.

Man Utd & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Wolves are as good as down and United should win. However, they are struggling to keep a clean sheet. 2/5 is skinny; 15/8 offers better value.

19:30 Burnley v Newcastle

Newcastle

50 WIN

@1.62

Burnley are struggling this term, and Newcastle have not won in eleven on their travels. However, they are the much stronger of the two sides and have a number of striking options more than the hosts.

I'm expecting an entertaining clash despite both sides' form at home and away. 2-1 away, backing that up with BTTS.

Burnley have not won in two months and meet a Newcastle side (won previous fixture 2-1) who are struggling on the road: lost 7 and drawn 4 of their last 11. But they have more strength in depth and will win. I can see Burnley getting something from a set piece. Making 12/5 value. They've won the last 7 matches these two have played.

Neither side overly physical. But this is a NE derby, and with both sides needing a win and games coming thick and fast during this busy period, there could be some tired legs. I envisaged 4 cards at 3.5. Happy to go overs.

19:30 Chelsea v Bournemouth

Chelsea

@1.53

-50

Both sides come into tonight's match on the back of defeats. It's worrying the way Chelsea are giving up leads. But they meet a Cherries side low on confidence: in recent matches they've drawn 4 and lost 5. This should be a comfortable home win, such is the strength of their squad.

Chelsea come into this after a home loss to Villa. They have struggled to keep clean sheets, but they meet a Bournemouth side on a wretched run. But I can see them scoring.

I cannot see Bournemouth causing too much trouble up front, which means the majority of goalscorers need to come from the hosts. Therefore, this line looks on the high side. Unders is the bet.

Both sides' averages, and factoring in games coming thick and fast and tired legs, would suggest this line is about right. Cannot see there being over 5. Happy to under.

Both sides enter tonight's game on the back of defeats, but at the prices Everton could've value. They won the reverse fixture and have an excellent record at the City Ground: won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 meetings.

Feel Everton are value to win this. I can see both sides scoring. Hopefully Jack Grealish will be over his illness and will return after missing the Burnley game, as he brings a lot with his distribution.

This game could go either way. But with the Toffees winning the reverse fixture 3-0 and having won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 H2H here, 15/2 looks big. Two points bigger than I envisaged.

Everton in decent nick and could cause Forest some problems. Neither side is overly physical, but I had this line at 4.0; at 3.5 it looks on the low side.

West Ham, like Brighton, come into this on the back of defeats. This is a toss-up despite what betting says. For that reason, the Hammers at 5/2 offer a bit of value.

Both sides are desperate for a win, and with four games in such a short time frame I'm expecting tired legs. I envisage the line would be 4.5; at just 3.5 it's got to be overs.

Both sides were expected to be vying for promotion this season but have struggled for consistency for the most part. They are still scoring. Value may lie with the Saints, with both sides missing key players either through injury or AFCON.

One point separates these two mid-division teams. Leicester have underperformed thus far, but Derby are beatable. With BTTS in each of their last six games, this looks the way to go with a home win.

Boro considering their manager left them for Wolves have continued to maintain their good form. I fully expect them to win, but I can see Hull grabbing a goal from a set piece.

Watford have been one of the surprise packages this season to date. They meet a struggling Canaries side, second from bottom, who just cannot keep a clean sheet regularly.

Both sides have struggled to keep clean sheets. United have turned the corner with Chris Wilder back, and they can edge a high-scoring encounter.

Wrexham were involved in a humdinger of a match against Sheffield United. It should be full of confidence. I expect them to beat a tough PNE side. But they've yet to keep a clean sheet in their last 6.

Brighterdaysahead won this race last year, and she has a good record when fresh, so a 240-day layoff is not overly concerning. Gordon Elliott's yard are flying, and he appears very bullish in her chances after some very good recent homework at home. I envisaged around 2/1, so at 4/1 it looks a huge price.

Wodhooh is impossible to oppose. She's only lost one race in her nine-race career. That loss came in a Grade 1 at Aintree behind Lossiemouth. She has given weight all round here, but she looks a class act. She beat Celtic Dino on seasonal return quite comfortably at Ascot and can take this.

There are no prices at time of writing. But KILBARRY LIZZY is interesting, shaped with promise when placed in both starts at Navan and Punchestown. Michael takes off a very handy 7 pounds. This looks a shade easier than those two races where it was generally fancied in the betting at 8/1 and 10/1 respectively.
