WOLVES were tipped pre-season for a top-10 finish and can live up to the billing.
After losing recently to them Burnley keeper Joe Hart branded Wolves the best promoted side he's faced during his long career.
That's some accolade and as if nodding in agreement Nuno Espirito Santo's men followed up with a dazzling display to hold Man United to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
It was the confident, flowing football that was as impressive as the result and Wolves should follow up by beating Southampton today.
Wolves lie 10th and are 11-13 with Unibet to beat a side that's taken five points out of 18.
Man United followed that Wolves draw by crashing out of the Carabao Cup to Derby on penalties and all is not well at Old Trafford.
Bookies haven't taken note and Jose Mourinho's men are no bigger than 8-9 at Unibet with the Hammers 18-5 with McBookie.
West Ham have had a difficult start to the season with matches against Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool but showed their potential in hammering Everton at Goodison.
United's away form is better but at the price I'm on the home men draw no bet with McBookie going 9-4 and both sides should score at 4-5 at betfair.
Game of the day is the tea-time kick-off between Chelsea v Liverpool and it's not easy to call.
Both sides made many changes for the midweek Carabao Cup clash won by the Blues thanks to some magic from supersub Eden Hazard.
The Belgian is being described in some quarters as the best in Europe and has a claim.
Liverpool are defending their 100 per cent record while Chelsea remain unbeaten after dropping their first points at West Ham last week.
A draw looks the shout and with 28 goals scored between them this season it looks a cert to go over 2.5 goals at 188BET.
The scoring draw pays 17-5 with McBookie while Hazard is 15-8 at Betfred to net.
It's been a mixed start in management for Frank Lampard but he'll take massive confidence from going head to head with Mourinho and winning.
Man City are extremely short at 1-10 at home to Brighton so consider over 3.5 match goals at 9-11 with Unibet.
Burnley notched a fine 4-0 win at Bournemouth last week and are 11-5 at 188BET to follow up with a win at lowly Cardiff.
Derby are back in Championship action today and are evens at sportingbet to win at Bolton.
I also like Birmingham at evens with bet365 at home to Ipswich on form and stats. The Blues are unbeaten in five while their opponents are winless in six and have lost three in a row at St Andrews.
If you're looking for goals you should get them at Preston v West Brom. There have been 17 in North End's last four and the Baggies have netted 11 in five. Over 2.5 goals pays 4-5 at Paddy Power.
In League One I like Doncaster, going for four wins in a row, at 6-5 with Marathonbet for their trip to a Plymouth side who have lost five out of six.
And in League Two best bets could be Newport at home to a Cambridge side they beat 4-1 in the cup back in August. The Welsh side are 7-5 with McBookie.
