OCT 4: FOOTBALL TREBLE

IF you want to make a quick killing this isn't the night to do it.

Johnstone's Trophy matches aren't the easiest to call with sides allowed to make up to five changes to personnel.

So we can expect a lot of half-strength outfits sent out and it's case of working out which sides are taking the tournament most seriously.

Promotion is obviously the priority for League One Huddersfield but they won't want to lose at home to League Two Bradford.

Lee Clark's men have been in great form and even with some stars rested should manage a win. Huddersfield have scored 12 goals in their last five against teams better than Bradford so take them at a best 4-9 with William Hill.

Another side who could be worth backing are Gillingham at home to Barnet. Eight points separate the League Two rivals and at home the Gills have won three out of five and conceded just three goals.

Barnet have lost their last three and conceded eight goals so 5-6 with Chandler on Gillingham looks tempting.

Complete the treble with on-form Wimbledon who have won their last three and rattled in nine goals to move up to fourth.

Stevenage are the visitors and this is definitely one where team news could play a part. You'd imagine Stevenage will have one eye on Saturday's tough trip to Huddersfield and that would make Wimbledon decent value at 85-40 with Chandler.
