20:15 Leeds v Chelsea
Chelsea
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Leeds are under pressure to get results. They are conceding plenty. There is a huge gulf in terms of quality between the two sides. I envisaged Chelsea would be considerably shorter than 4/5. This young squad are looking more decisive this season despite all the youth. Facing a jittery defence at Elland Road could be to their advantage. Value 4/5, which I can only see shortening after the weekend games.
20:15 Liverpool v Sunderland
Liverpool
50 WIN
@1.40
Lose
-50
It's difficult to know which Liverpool side will turn up. Currently on a wretched run, it seems incredible every player except Dominic Szoboszlai is out of form at the same time. But although Sunderland have had an incredible season since being promoted, I feel Liverpool will win this over 90 minutes. I'm expecting a win at home; the odds will shorten further.

We are in shocking form, the worst I've seen since Shankly days. Although I thought we overachieved last season and others underperformed, it masked our issues at the back. I expect a win against a Sunderland side that surprised everyone this season. I can see them nicking a goal, such is our defensive fragility. I envisaged these odds would be considerably shorter.

Albus Annie has 2 wins from 6 starts this season. Those two wins came after making a hash of the starts. Did the same here a fortnight ago. Interesting: for a horse that showed he stays, connections stepped up markedly in trip. Tyrone Cameron takes off 7 pounds. 25/1 looks a very generous price. I envisaged around 16/1. Looks good value against a very short-priced favourite.

Yes (BTTS)

Brighton got a deserved win at the weekend beating Brentford, while Villa came back from a goal down to win at Leeds. Both sides are scoring, in particular Villa, after a slow start saw them not score for 600-odd minutes. Both have overachieved this season to date, and neither defense looks solid. I envisage BTTS in what could be a high-scoring draw.
19:30 Burnley v Crystal Palace
Yes (BTTS)

Burnley find themselves second from bottom with a goal difference of -10. Although they don't score many, I can see them getting a goal against high-flying Crystal Palace, who themselves don't score many, averaging a shade over a goal a game, 16 for and 9 against. This is another match where I can see BTTS and a low-scoring draw.

Wolves are in serious trouble and meeting a rejuvenated Forest under Sean Dyche at the wrong time. We were abysmal at Anfield. Tricky Trees deserved a 3-0 success. Both sides have negative goal differences, -20 and -7, after twelve games. I can see this being a low-scoring draw. 4/5 on offer is about what I envisaged.

Two sides in contrasting form. It's taking time for Thomas Frank to get his ideas across since taking over. Although they were shocking at the Emirates, I think they can get 3 points here. Newcastle are conceding goals, and Europe is taking its toll. Spurs could offer a bit of value here outright against a side that has struggled for consistency, with a defence that looks nervy.

7 points separate these two sides. Both are lacking consistency. I envisage this being a low-scoring draw. Blackburn draw 2-1 at the weekend and The Tracter Boys suffered shock away loss to Oxford. BTTS has koppsd 3 times in the last 6 for the hosts and Ipswich 4 times I the last 6.

The Cherries fought back for a 2-2 draw at the weekend, and the Toffees, despite being down to 10 men for 80 minutes, won at Old Trafford last night against a toothless United side. I envisage BTTS, and I envisaged shorter odds than 5/6, getting a little value.
19:30 Fulham v Man City
Man City
50 WIN
@1.67
Win
34
Fulham, like City, are struggling for consistency. At the time of writing City suffered a shock home loss. Bayern Leverkusen followed that with a poor display at Newcastle. But the attacking options and quality in the side should see off a Fulham side who have not been the most prolific of scorers thus far. I envisage City thrashing Leeds today and Fulham suffering defeat at Spurs, so the odds I can only see shortening between now and kick-off.

Third and final flat bet today is KIRKDALE. I cannot envisage him out of the first four. Couple of points bigger than I envisaged.

Kevin Stott retains the ride.

Seven runners and three places up for grabs. I think the favourite is worth taking on, stepping up in grade and penalised for his win at Wetherby. I Spy A Diva, unlike him, is dropping in class. This trip is more suitable than his last two runs, and the stable have been among the winners. I cannot see Ebony North or Throw figuring. Making 9/2 is very good value.

Several exposed horses here. With four places up for grabs, Warrnambool looks value at the current odds. Although 0-13, he showed on his first run for Michael Keady in October that his turn might be at hand. He was nibbled in the betting that day. I thought Darren Keenan gave him too much to do then, and he didn't get the clearest of runs either but pulled clear of the fourth. His other recent run here was decent in September. The handicapper has inexplicably dropped him two pounds. The price is a point bigger than I envisaged, so I'm getting a little value.

Not a race to get heavily involved in being "hands and heels", but although GUNDOGAN is 1-20 he's performed better in his last two starts since transferring to Tony Carroll. We have the best jockey on board, albeit due to experience he cannot claim. If he can get away on terms I cannot envisage him out of the frame. My tissue was 6/1; there's a little juice in the price if one shops around. Stable won this with Voltaic last season.

One won't get rich, but 2/7 looks a gift for the Patriots. Two sides are going in opposite directions: 10??"2 record for New England versus 2??"10. Giants look very weak defensively, having conceded 334 points after 12 games and are on a six-game losing streak, languishing at the bottom of the NFC East. I thought the hosts would be 1/6, so 2/7 looks completely wrong.

Dingwall won a couple of races here within 48 hours last week, winning both with ease. Both can be marked up as he was slow away in both races, albeit they were poor races; he lost many lengths at the start on that second run. Quite incredible how Hannah Crawford got him up. Upped 5 pounds, but if he can break on terms he'll prove a tough nut to crack. I envisaged he'd be odds-on, so at 5/4 that's getting value against a field where 95% of them are totally out of form.

It's rare Lynn Cook kennel leave their money behind. This Good Cody dog did well in the circumstances on November 24, losing any chance in the run to the first bend. He did well to go down only by a length. With three vacant on his outer he can atone here and enhance his 8/20 record and 33% strike rate from this trap. He's won 5 of his 9 races in A2. This looks one of the weaker A2s he's contested.

A better race than the normal for a Monday. HOLLOWAY BOY dead-heated in the Balmoral with EBTS GUARD but meets that one on 8 pounds better terms here. Karl Burke's runner is the class act of the contest. No issue with the trip. The only unknown variable is the surface, as it is his first run on it. William Buick is a significant booking, and the favourite is unproven in this grade and over this trip.

Had 12 career starts, 8 of which were chasing, culminating in 1 win, 3 seconds and 2 third places. Barring a PU effort in 2023 at Feed Bartlett, he's never been out of the first 5. Trainer's last 8 runners finished 4/3/5/8/2/2/3/2. Stable is in form. A couple of points bigger than I envisaged. With 6 places up for grabs, it looks decent value.

Unconsidered 50/1 shot on debut at Kempton, beaten a shade under 12 lengths, looking keen/green throughout. Should come on for that experience for a yard that knows the time of day with its juveniles. Down in class and up in trip. Nicely bred debutants, but ours, if coming on for the debut run, could grab a place at very rewarding odds.

These amateur races seem to turn up different results each time. Dual-purpose ROCKVIEW ROMAN has only had 3 runs since July 2024. Was rated higher over in Ireland, won off a 4-pound higher mark. His chance could have been underestimated here if one factors in he's 4 pounds below the last winning mark. That run at Leicester last month was first in nearly 6 months (had raced over hurdles), but there was significant money around for him, 50s into 18/1, which, bearing in mind the layoff and inexperienced jockey (0-19 rides since 2022), was interesting. Never a factor at any stage, but he makes his Tapeta debut today, stepping up markedly in trip on the flat, but was placed 3rd over this trip in the summer twice. Rare runner for Bowen, be interesting if money comes again for this fella off bottom weight.

Could well be he was flattered just passing beaten horses. But he's getting 26 pounds off the two at the head of the betting. On this ground, it could be a telling factor.

Front two take a sizable portion of the market, represent little value. NOAHSGREATRAINBOW has not covered himself in glory on his hurdling career to date after some useful form in Bumpers, a first and a second. Gone off well fancied in the market three times over hurdles, obviously better was expected. Actually dropping in class this afternoon as well, coming back two furlongs in trip. Reviewing his race at Newton Abbot, he was not given an unduly hard race. As that came off a 9-month layoff, he should certainly strip fitter. Was backed in from 10/1 into 8/1 early doors, now drifted back out again. After a brilliant start to the month, yard form is up and down with winners and a few disappointing runs. But few of these need to start now to figure, and this 6-year-old is good enough to be placed. I envisaged him 5 points shorter, getting decent value.
