There's a massive clash at the foot of the Premier League tonight as Nottingham Forest head to Elland Road to take on Leeds United.
Both teams find themselves just six points above improving West Ham, so the pressure will be cranked up if either of them loses tonight.
Elland Road has been something of a fortress for Leeds this season, but they were thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal there last weekend so it will be fascinating to see how they respond.
Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
This is a tricky one to call but most bookies make Leeds 5/4 favourites, with Forest as big as 5/2 at Betfair to claim a huge three points.
Sean Dyche does have a better squad at his disposal so there could be some value in backing Forest to win either half at 6/5 with Star Sports.
With so much at stake the best option is probably going for foul and card bets. Elliot Anderson and Anton Stach will be at the heart of the midfield scrap and backing both for over 1.5 fouls pays 282/100 at William Hill.
Leeds star Ethan Ampadu has collected seven yellows already this season and he's 11/4 at Bet365 to go into the book again.
Airdrieonians vs St Mirren
The Scottish Cup fifth round gets underway tonight and Premiership side St Mirren will be looking to avoid a shock away to Championship outfit Airdrieonians.
The Buddies beat Premiership leaders Hearts on Tuesday to ease their relegation worries but they haven't had much time to recover from that match.
The good news for boss Stephen Robinson is that the Diamonds were also in action on Tuesday and their Challenge Cup tie with Arbroath went all the way to penalties.
That makes a surprise less likely tonight and St Mirren have already shown how good a cup team they are by going all the way in the League Cup earlier this season.
So they look justified 11/20 favourites tonight and you can boost their odds to 11/8 at Bet365 by backing the Buddies to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Airdrie usually have a go and their last Scottish Cup tie was a 3-3 thriller before they knocked out Arbroath once more on penalties. So it bodes well for a decent spectacle tonight and over 2.5 goals pays 17/20 with Bet365.
Metz vs Lille
Lille have fallen out of the French title race after an alarming slump in form but they have a good chance to get back on track against rock-bottom Metz tonight.
Bruno Genesio's side have lost six of their last seven in all competitions and sit fifth in Ligue 1, a whopping 16 points behind leaders PSG.
They now take on a Metz side who are fighting for their lives at the foot of the table and the strugglers will move above Auxerre and Nantes if they can bank three points tonight.
But BetMGM make them 18/5 outsiders tonight and it's easy to see why as they've lost eight of their last 10 matches.
Lille's slump is a little misleading as they've had a tough run of games against the likes of PSG, Rennes, Lyon, Celta Vigo and Strasbourg.
So I'm going to combine a win for Lille with over 1.5 goals, a bet that pays 21/20 with Bet365.
Genesio's side should have most of the pressure and backing them at -2.5 in the corner handicap pays evens at QuinnBet.
