Just 17 matches are set to go ahead across the Premier League and Football League today and for once it's not the weather causing disruption at this time of year.
Fans have been left kicking their heels with game after game being postponed. Fortunately, Scotland is staying ahead of the curve, for the moment, and all games look like they'll survive.
In the Premier League just two games remain. Steven Gerrard will be aiming to continue his impressive start as Aston Villa manager where his only defeats have come at the hands of Liverpool and Man City.
Burnley are the visitors and it's been a season to forget for Sean Dyche's men so far. Just one win in 15 is nowhere near good enough and they'll be in serious trouble if they don't star picking up points soon. But given the fair wind currently behind Villa today doesn't feel like the day that things will be turned around.
With so many clubs out of action today the Villans could climb to seventh with a win and that's incentive enough to see them over the line at Villa Park at 8/11.
The early evening kick-off between Leeds United and Arsenal also looks to have survived, but Marcelo Bielsa may wish that it hadn't. He could be without up to eight first-team players for the clash with the Gunners who have not lost in the last 10 meetings between he sides.
Leeds come in to the game off the back of a 7-0 thumping at Man City and it could be another tough watch for the Elland Road faithful although Arsenal will b out to avoid a fourth consecutive away defeat.
Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe has scored five in his last seven and is a healthy 3/1 (Bet365) to score anytime.
St Johnstone are all at sea in the Scottish Premiership and have slipped to the bottom of the table. They've suffered five defeats on the bounce and more worryingly socred just nine goals in 17 top flight matches. They travel to Lanarkshire to play Motherwell who have quite an impressive record at home, winning five of nine and losing only to Rangers, Celtic and Hibs on their own turf.
Goals haven't been a problem for Motherwell, especially Tony Watt who leads he scoring charts with 10 this season. Well look too big at 11/8 based on St Johnstone's current form.
Arbroath and Inverness should make for a succesful double in the Championship at almost 9/5. Both are 4/6 at home against teams in the bottom half of the table.
In League Two Annan look overpriced at 15/8 to win at Stirling Albion who have lost five league games in a row. Annan have only been once in their last eight.

Today's Racing Tips
Rizzel has picked out four selections for Saturday's racing from Ascot and Haydock.
As always, let us know your tips and predictions for today in the comments section below and good luck with all your bets!
It’s the Melbourne derby today and both sides come into it in patchy form, however Melbourne city have yet to let us down on the corner front at home so it’s back to the well we go. 2 of the H2h last season were utter annihilations (6-0, 7-0) but although I’m pretty sure that won’t be happening tomorrow I do think we’ll see city batter in the corners as well as a few cards. Their 3 home games this season they’ve hit 10,9,11 and In every victory game this season including their 2 cup ties they hit 2+ cards. So, going for that again, and adding in a city card (again happened every game so far) gives us a nice odds against betbuilder.
🇦🇺Melbourne city v Melbourne victory 🇦🇺
City 7+ corners
Both teams carded
Victory o1.5 cards
23/20 bet 365
Looked promising at ht with 4 corners and a card but fell on its a**e second half 👎🏻
The last couple of boxing tips haven’t been good!
Hopefully the early morning offering will see me getting back to winning ways.
Beterbiev v Browne
Beterbiev in rounds 7-12 is 11/10 with skybet (NAP) ✅
Beterbiev in rounds 10-12 is 4/1 with skybet (NB) ❌
Beterbiev wins in Round 9. Good luck everyone with today’s bets 🤞
Melbourne City v Melbourne Victory
Derby so player cards always look good.
Jamieson and Brilliante
11/1
Hi guys do you anyone know if bozanic card counts in Australia game this morning, scored in injury time and took off his shirt paddypower marking it down as lost
Morning Philip as far as I can see on Soccerway & Flashscore he scored and was also carded in the 97th minute
Melbourne derby
Melbourne victory 30+ booking points 5/6
Roderick to be carded 13/8
Over 1.5mgs
Over 8.5 corners
Over 25+ booking points
4/5
Good luck
All lost no victory cards & 1 corner short for the 4/5
Utter rubbish yesterday so onto today and back to China for an odds against BTTS punt
BEIJING BSU VS. SUZHOU DONGWU
Two sides who concede regularly meet this morning,each side has conceded in 26 of 32 league matches this season.
BSU have conceded in 13 of 15 home matches while Suzhou have conceded in 13 of 16 away days. The reverse fixture finished 2-2 back in April so hoping for more of the same today.
On a side note the away side are odds on favourites here but I just can’t see it myself,BSU are undefeated in the only 3 meetings of the side with 2 wins and the aforementioned 2-2 draw in the last 15 months. The away side are without a win in 13 losing 9 of those. The bookies will know more than me but I’ll take a small gamble on the home side in this.
BTTS 11/10
BSU draw no bet 9/2
BSU win & BTTS 16/1
Good luck all with a bet today
The 2-2 was 2 weeks ago not in April 👍🏻
Cheers bud that’s what I thought I was actually watching the game.

Saturdays goals tips
Leipzig/cove
Win/o1.tgs double
38/25 bet 365 NAP
Blackburn win/o1.5tgs
Frankfurt o1.5tgs
4/1 bet 365 NB
Seems quite a high price for the NB today but I’m willing to take a bit of a chance on it because the form looks very good. Blackburn have won 7 and drawn 1 of their last 8, scoring 2+ in 5 of those 7 wins, and have scored 2+ in 7 of the last 9 home games as well. Frankfurt are on a run of scoring 2+ in 6 domestic games in a row and have won 5 of those. I’m willing to take 4/1 the week and hope for a wee Xmas boost. Good luck today folks.
Apologies there’s a typo the Blackburn form should read have won 7 of their last 9.
5 – fold for today- The 1st 4 selections could be super singles too. Well,Hearts,Raith,Inverness + Arbroath. 43/1 boosted WH. Done this as part of scratch of the day £10 as this gives you a free £5 bet . Looking at the S/S above yes Well should win however Raith would be mine at 21/10 at Thistle.Some good looking bets out there today on paper of course.Gid luck today people x
Bets for today from me:
🏴 Motherwell v St Johnstone
🔘 Bet 1: o3.5 cards/o1.5 St Johnstone cards – 9/10 (Unibet) NAP
🔘 Bet 2: o1.5 cards each team – 5/4 (Unibet) NB
The bully-boy derby!
The two dirtiest teams in the league go head to head and if this tight affair goes true to form, we should hopefully see a spate of cards.
– Motherwell are averaging 3.1 cards at home and have racked up an incredible 54 cards in their 18 league games.
– St Johnstone are nearly as bad. They average 2.75 cards away from home and have racked up a total of 49 cards in their 17 games. Superb stuff.
I’ve got one more NAP to come. I’m just waiting on Hills to get corner prices up for Rangers game.
Good luck all 👍🏻
Two more from me:
🏴Rangers v Dundee U
🇭🇺 MTK Budapest v Paksi
🔘 Bet 1: MTK v Paksi o2.5 goals/Rangers -2 corner handicap – 5/6 (Hills) NAP
🔘Bet 2: MTK v Paksi – o2.5 goals/BTTS/1+ FHG – 4/5 (Bet365) NB
This NAP is a bet I post every week and it’s yet to let me down. The NB has failed only once.
– Paksi are the o2.5 kings of the world! They’ve seen o2.5 goals in 16/17 games this season. BTTS in EVERY game. Last week they made us wait a full 9 mins to go o2.5 goals.
– Rangers -2 corner handicap seems the perfect option to double up with Paksi to get close to evens. -2 corners has landed in all but one of Rangers home game this season. Even if Dundee U get 3-4 corners, I can’t see Rangers not getting the 6-7 needed to land the bet. Especially as they average 9.3 corners at Ibrox.
– Rangers -3 corner handicap pushes this up to a nice odds against 23/20 but I’m happy to air on the side of caution.
Good luck everyone.
🏴Rangers v Dundee U
🇭🇺 MTK Budapest v Paksi
🔘 Bet 1: MTK v Paksi o2.5 goals/Rangers -2 corner handicap – 5/6 (Hills) NAP ✅✅
🔘Bet 2: MTK v Paksi – o2.5 goals/BTTS/1+ FHG – 4/5 (Bet365) NB ✅✅
🏴 Motherwell v St Johnstone
🔘 Bet 1: o3.5 cards/o1.5 St Johnstone cards – 9/10 (Unibet) NAP ❌
🔘 Bet 2: o1.5 cards each team – 5/4 (Unibet) NB ❌
2/4… No harm done today.
Pleased the Paksi/Rangers bets landed again but who’d have predicted Motherwell and St Johnstone would be on their best behaviour? Too much Christmas spirit at Fir park.
Well done all winners.
Paddypower won’t budge with the bozanic card backed over 5.5 cards ,bozanic scored 97min and took shirt off and got booked to make it 6 cards only small money but its the principle any one else have problems with this
If he was booked before the final whistle then they have to count it. If the ref blew the final whistle then booked him, they won’t pay out. So you’d need the video of the match clock still tucking when the ref books him. Or you can send screenshots of the six yellows from reputable stats sites and ask why they haven’t settled. Might be their internal team hasn’t updated the stats yet.
Today ,
Hoffenheim
Waregem
Over 2.5 mg’s double touch over 1/1 betfair
leaving any of the remaining English fixtures well alone and going for 2 games on the continent that will hopefully see goals , first up Hoffenheim vs M’gladbach both teams games of late have seen plenty of goals , Hoffenheim averaging over 2 goals a game in the bundesliga and are up into 4th place and gladbach still find the net quite regularly even though there having a shocking season , then the later game waregem vs Mechelen , mechelen were my go to team earlier in the season for overs , there abit hit and miss of late but im sticking with them for the double ,
Goodluck today all 👍

Couple smaller stake efforts on this. Morelos has discovered a bit of form again goal wise and with Dundee Utd having players missing and injured this could be one way traffic with Morelos more likely than most to find the net.

Tonight sees the Joseph Parker v Derek Chisora rematch.
Parker was the lighter fighter at the weigh-in for the first fight, but this time, he comes in as the heavier fighter.
Parkers coach Andy Lee is a good friend of Tyson Fury (who has fought Chisora twice) and I don’t think the wait gain is due to negligence.
The plan appears to be for Parker to use his weight to lean on/tire Chisora. Parker is 4/1 to win in rounds 7-12 (NAP)
As a safety net, Parker is 11/8 to win on points.
Good luck all 🙌
Thanks l have tried this
The weight gain I meant! Bloody predictive text!
Seville v Atleti 8pm
No real rationale for these picks other than I just feel Atleti will be well up for this game after defeat to Real lto and losing to Mallorca in the league before that.. they have to win this, not just to keep pace with Real, but to close the gap on Seville.. Suarez starts for them again too which I see as a plus..
