MANY English clubs are running on empty as they prepare for a second outing in three days – so tread carefully today.
The Premier League card looks a tough one with Man City the only “banker material” at home to Burnley. Liverpool will be well backed at Sunderland but do you really want to put them on accumulators at 4-11?
However, there is one team are look decent value and that's West Brom at home to Hull at just under evens.
The Baggies are in decent form and a 2-1 win at Southampton on Saturday was impressive after battling defeats to Arsenal and Man United.
In Hull's favour is an extra day's rest but their best work is done at home and I fancy West Brom to take the points.
I confidently tipped Burnley to beat Sunderland on Saturday as both pick up most of their points in front of their home fans.
Burnley travel as badly as a clapped-out DeLorean and their only point came late on at Old Trafford. City must win after an insipid display at Anfield and are no bigger than 1-6 at Ladbrokes.
Finding value is tough unless you take the viewpoint Burnley might net after hitting Sunderland for four.
A Man City win and both to score pays 2-1 at William Hill and Sean Dyche's side netted in a 2-1 defeat at Spurs recently and also crashed 2-1 at the Etihad in the EFL Cup.
Over 3.5 goals is possible at 23-20 with McBookie and I like Sergio Aguero to score first at 23-10 with William Hill after he shook off some of his ring rust at Anfield.
In the teatime game Man Unted try to extend their winning sequence to six at West Ham. They are again short at 7-10 with Coral for their trip to the London Stadium and a better bet could be Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score at 21-20 with William Hill as he has netted three in two goals against the Hammers this season.
Leeds are one of the form teams in the Championship and are best bets at 1-2 with William Hill and McBookie to beat Rotherham.
Newcastle should have the firepower to add to Owen Coyle's troubles at Blackburn. They are no bigger than 7-10 at McBookie though so consider them to score 2+ at 3-4 with boylesports.
I've come to the conclusion the majority of oddsmakers must be Norwich fans. A couple of times I've backed against the Canaries when they were favourites and was correct on each occasion.
They have won just two of their last 11 yet are favourites against Steve McClaren's Derby who were flying until being held 0-0 by Wigan at the weekend. Derby tempt at 47-20 with Marathonbet and even more so draw no bet at 7-5 with the same firm.
