The title race is well and truly on the Premier League after Man Utd eked out a 1-0 at Burnley to move three points clear of Liverpool – the first time they've topped the table at this stage of the season since 2012, under Sir Alex.
So set your reminders for Sunday 4.30pm, for an actual ‘Super Sunday' on Sky Sports for once, live from Anfield when the two great rivals clash. It should be a cracker.
On Wednesday night it's Manchester City and Spurs‘ chance to close the gap on leaders against Brighton and Fulham respectively.
Scott Parker is seriously unhappy at the fixture reshuffle that's led to their match in North London only being confirmed on Monday. Spurs are short enough at 2/5 but Parker's comments don't suggest Fulham will travel across London with much enthusiasm for the fixture.
Man City are even shorter at just 1/7 and this feels like one of those games where Pep's side, who are hitting some belated form, will just sweep aside the opposition. Brighton have some maojor players out in the shape of Danny Welbeck, Aaron Connolly and Tariq Lamptey, Adam Lallana and Yves Bissouma who is suspended.
Plenty of us on the site were sweet on Dundee United in Scotland on Tuesday, who looked over-priced for a win at home to St Johnstone. As it happened this beauty from Lawrence Shankland was required for the Arabs to rescue a point in a 2-2 draw.
Absolutely outrageous from Lawrence Shankland.
Turning into quite the Tayside derby between Dundee United and St Johnstone.

On Wednesday, Livingston‘s resurgence will be given it's stiffest examination to date by the visit of Aberdeen. Livi are on a run of six straight wins in the league, scoring 14 goals in the process but they'll have to reverse a run of results in the this fxiture that's seen the Dons win seven of the last eight meetings between the two. The bookies can't separate them however and Bet365 price up both sides at 17/10.
There's more Coppa Italia matches on Wednesday as well as the French Trophee des Champions where Marseille stand in the way of Mauricio Pochettino winning some silverware early in to his tenure at PSG. SlipsTips has constructed a BetBuilder that includes cards and corners for the match that's live on BTSport 2.
Look-out for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semi-final between Santos and Boca Juniors, which can be watched on the BBC Red Button, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Website. It's all to play for after a 0-0 draw in the first leg.

Copa Libertadores
Palmeiras vs River Plate
Although the hosts hold a commanding 3-0 lead after the 1st leg, I still expect the Argentinians to fight tooth and nail to get back into this tie. They have an excellent record delivering on corners and won the corner match 6-2 in the 1st leg despite getting a man sent off after the hour mark. I feel very confident they can at least match this tally in the return fixture.

Man City v Brighton
Man City to win to nil at 4/5*****(NAP)
Fully expect Brighton to be a bit sluggish tonight after their f.a cup tie at Newport where they played extra time and penalties.A lot of effort went into that game and their usual woeful finishing cost them winning the game in normal time.If Brighton could put away half their chances they would be a scary side.City have been resolute at the back and hopefully should keep Brighton out.
Spurs v Fulham
Fulham double chance at 7/4 (NB)
This bet won’t be for everyone but it’s one i think is good value and the only reason i have a little hesitation over it is the fact Fulham have been made to play this game tonight when they should of faced Chelsea on Friday,that game has now been moved to Saturday something that is unheard of in this league so it just goes to show what a strange season it has been thus far.Fulham have come on leaps and bounds after their dismal start to life in the Premier league and are actually becoming difficult to beat,Scot Parker has got this side playing and that shows by their result away to Leicester which they won 1-2 (which i tipped them to win) and thoroughly deserved win also.
Fulham’s last five results have been four draws and an f.a cup win away to QPR,two of those draws have come against Liverpool and Southampton and although these were at home it shows the improvement made by the team.I’m Keeping stakes low on this one as i have said the last minute changes could have an effect.
Best of luck
Well Macca, would you advise backing Liverpool for a top 4 finish this season as it looks like top 2 will be the 2 Manchester clubs with Liverpool, Spurs, Leicester, Everton, Chelsea and Southampton fighting it out for crumbs that fall from the top table or would it be safer to just back them for top 6? Cheers for your advise.
@Sean ireland
Please understand I am not arguing with you. However, it is less than halfway in the season, United have gone 3 points clear and the season has now already been decided? You aren’t the only one with this view to be fair. Plenty of time for teams to turn it around, but yes based on current form/results United look to be in a good position. It would be naive to call it so early though.
He’s on the wind-up Meadway let him have his 5 mins of leg pulling.We all know what this Man Utd team are capable of any little mishap and they will be back to their old selves again,their confidence is fragile but whilst they are in good form let him bask in it.21 games to go.Remember this Man Utd team weren’t good enough to get out of the Champions league group stages so to win a Premier league title with their current team is highly unlikely,we seen how Man City blew them away at their own ground so that tells you how far off United are in terms of winning a league title.Liverpool won’t win it as i have already said as they have to many injuries.
No its not a wind up Macca as i also dont think United will win the title as like Liverpool United have also had injuries to deal with Phil Jones is a huge miss, Man City will win and United will more than likely be 2nd as i forecast on here at the start of the season which seemed to wind you up no end. Back to my serious question do you think Liverpool are strong enough for top 4 or would you say Southampton or Everton are a safer bet? Cheers Macca.
Liverpool will finish behind City 2nd imo so that should answer your question.
Old Gary Neville getting all flustered last night made me giggle,reminds me of Hayley Cropper.Telling all the fans to enjoy it even if only for a few days lol
Well Done Mac. Man City defence is superb this year. Also look out for Man City games to be under 2.5 goals too. You get good prices for this.

Kyle I know you’ve recently been on Napoli fh corners and done well, what’s the thoughts on them today? 5/4 for 4+
Is it best waiting for team news?
I looked at that angle Sean but not convinced it is the right market to take on this game. Napoli should put out a very strong outfit and I can’t rule out the possibility they could quickly jump into a 1 or 2 goal lead, can’t see Empoli putting up the same stubborn resistance as when I backed the FH corners market when the hosts played Roma. I think the value lies with Empoli corners when they hit Napoli on the counter, I’m rather surprised at the surprises because I think they will get a few opportunities in this.

This wasnt in my berting agency offert, budly for me
Over 2.5 Brighton corners 11/10 on skybet, seems a bit generous, they are usually one of the better teams to hit a few corners
Brighton average 5.6 corners overall and 5.1 away so for 3 corners that’s good odds.
Good stuff over 40 I like these sort of bets thanks for highlighting 👍
Spot on great odds 11-10 for a team who easily average above 3 per game. This is a kind of bet Greg used to do.

City -1.5AH, Spurs DC 4/5 Main Bet
Son ATGS 6/5 Quarter Stake
GL all!
Paddy have set the card index at over 30 pts on Livingston Aberdeen tonight at 6/5. If we flew in an overseas ref for this, we’d be lucky to see 8 v 8 at the end, two totally industrial teams who would probably prefer the ball be taken off the pitch as it will get in the way of their elbowing, kicking and gouging. Cosgrove and Ferguson would be booked in the first 10 mins every game in any other league in the world for Aberdeen, and Livi’s flying elbows would make a wrestler blush.
Over 30 pts 6/5
Aberdeen over 10 EVENS!
etc etc
should add that historically it does have a low card count, which I can only put down to Scottish refereeing standards
Aye .I was looking for players being carded – but cant see the market anywhere .
Bear in mind that Aberdeen and Livingston are both in the top 4 for the LEAST bookings in the SPL.
Footiefan77 that in itself is a damning indictment of Scottish refereeing standards, for some reason I can’t access the SPFL stat centre any more but Cosgrove used to average c.5 fouls per game and Ferguson can’t be far off it. I’m not sure Livingston have got a football player in their team although maybe that was the Gary Holt influence and they’ve all turned into Messi under the new guy. Two teams of absolute hammer throwers, I wish we could get some refs from places like Portugal in to our game for a couple of years to get this 1960s dross back into the amateur leagues where it belongs.

If I had to pick a winner I would say quindio as they have a good home record and petrolera though a league above are shit away.
*** Quindio have scored in their last 18 home games ***
They scored at home to deportivo Cali and jaguares at home in the cup this year, both top division teams.
Petrolera have conceded 2+ in their last 9 away games and seen btts in 8 of last 10 aways.
So bizarrely I’m more worried about the premier team scoring here.
These teams haven’t played for a month so could be a slow burner.
