THE SAS are back and Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge should power Liverpool to victory against Aston Villa (5.30pm).
Sturridge didn't take long to net when he came off the bench on his comeback at Stoke last week and Suarez struck twice in a 5-3 win.
Liverpool have won nine of their 10 Premier League games at Anfield with the SAS sharing 32 goals. Both could score but are odds on so I'm on Suarez to hit the opener at 9-4 with Coral.
Villa won 3-1 at Liverpool last season and played well in the second half against Arsenal on Monday but I fear for a side who are generally in poor form with Liverpool starting Suarez, Sturridge and Raheem Sterling in an attacking line-up.
Liverpool are no bigger than 1-4 at Paddy Power to win for some value try the Reds -1 at 4-7 with Ladbrokes.
Christian Benteke ended his goal drought against Arsenal and has netted three goals against Liverpool in three Premier League outings. He is Paul Lambert's best hope of a strike and is 9-2 at Betfred to net at any time.
Six of Liverpool's last seven home games have gone over 3.5 goals and that's worth a look again at 41-10 with bet365.
Roma are just 2-11 (various) at home to Livorno (5pm) and having won their last two 4-0 on the league I'll be on them at -2 at 11-8 with bet365 and Ladbrokes. Livorno have lost their last four including 3-0 to Parma in their previous outing.
Later Serie A leaders Juventus are even shorter at home to Sampdoria ((7.45pm) at a best 1-5 with the likes of William Hill.
Juve have only won one out of five at home to Sampdoria which is a surprise but have been in sublime form with 18 goals in five games. They've score 4, 3, 4, 3 and 4 – so is this another 3, Juve to score 3 plus pays 10-11 at bet365.

What do you think of Club Brugge ?
Had such a bad day for bets so put the remaining lot on Roma to win first half
Nice to beat Ajaccio is a good bet I think.
Got 4 draws up today, fiver on 4-1 Liverpool at 14s with paddy.
If you fancy Aston Villa to score, before 70 mins is 13/8 and before 80mins is 5/4. Been quite an open game so far.
Cheers Damo just got on! Nice one
I’ll be getting on an Aston Villa goal before 60, 70 and and 80 mins. Just hope Liverpool don’t get their act together too soon!
Cheers Damo, got on Villa goal before 80 minutes at 11/8. Was going to do before 70 minutes but bottled it! Still, a win is a win!
They have been all over Liverpool. Yeah, I actually looked at before 40 mins but was a bit concerned it was just a case of Liverpool taking some time to settle! Still, happy with three quick bets up! Before 60 mins was 13/5.
Late late goals from Killie. And 96min goal from Coventry bring up my 7 fold (at last a goog winner) will try juventus3+goals
Hughie, good luck with Juve, 2-0 already.

After six day on the bounce in profit, took a bit of a beating as usual on a Saturday, just had a fiver on that juve goal @ 9/1 playing that time of 1st juve goal market 10 to 20mins after 15mins they were 9/1 ..12/1 when they scored, were 6/1 when they scored the 2nd looks like there will be a few goals the ten minute goal market worth a wee punt on b365
Davie-S, bit of a mixed day for me but Roma -2 has come in and Juve 3+ looks good. Disappointed with Liverpool but not surprised when I saw how they set up. Brendan Rodgers showed a bit of naivety and needs to sort out defence. That’s five conceded to Stoke and Villa and while they score plenty they won’t finish top four unless they strengthen the defence.
I agree with that assessment of Liverpool Mr F, but they are heading in the right direction, on another level that’s exactly how i see Man City in the champions league…
Im liking your 10-1000 challenge AL. Might start it tomorrow
Hughie Juve 3+ is as close to a certainty as you’ll get now that Samp have scored, the price would be so short even Al wouldn’t bother to put his cash builder on it..
Penalty juve for 3+
AL been following your 10-1000 challenge and got to say well done fella. I’ve started only on bet 2 but i’m sitting at £63.65. Good Luck for tomorrow.
Anyone fancy anything on the Espanyol game at 9pm
Anyone reckon how many more goals are in this game? Tempted to lump on over 5.5!
Nathan, I’d expect at least two more but sometimes the second half is quiet after a goal-laden first. I’ve made a few quid on 3+ so will just relax now and focus on tomorrow.
Nathan Italian fitba is funny that way, once the game is won they kind of cruise, one goal more sure, two that’s a punt depending on the price..
Good shout with Juve 3+.
Cammy, wish I’d done it 3+ for first half.
Hmm it’s 8/11 but I may just take your advice and save my money for tomorrow!
Mr Fixit you fancy anything in the late spanish game.
Mark1980, I’m not having a bet on the game. If I was I’d side with Espanyol (just) and maybe Sergio Garcia for first birdie (I mean goal). Over 2.5 goals is possibly as Celta Vigo’s defence isn’t the greatest.
Incidentally my compliments to your technicians Mr F must have been a real busy day and everything ran as smooth as a babies backside.. well done guys..
Davie-S, I’ll pass it on. I was assured the work done would sort it out. And having just checked the stats we’re heading for our busiest ever (again).
Cheers Mr F the stats look like a goal fest but i may just miss this one out.
6/1 juve goal b4 80mins
Davie-S, just made it. Also has gone over 5.5 goals now so a profitable game all round.
Boooooom! Went with my gut and lumped on over 5.5! Great day now! If I had only seen that too a little earlier davie I would have back! Well done!
*Tip *Backed – Stupid iphone! :D
Get in.. had fivers @ 9/1 3/1 & 7/2 on juve goals, and one fiver loser, not bad out of my £20…
Think i’ll need to look at my account do some adding n subtracting, i may just have made a small profit on a Saturday, that would be a bigger shock than Hearts scoring three goals in one game..
