Brighton and Hove Albion have made an impressive start to the season but the acid test comes today as they host Premier League champions Arsenal.
The Seagulls are flying, with their epic League Cup comeback win at Old Trafford in midweek making it just one defeat in their first seven games.
However, they're now going up against a Gunners side who have won all seven of their matches and the bookies can't see the leaders slipping up on the south coast.
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Arsenal top betting tips
We've seen four or more goals in five of Brighton's games this season, which seems to suggest we could see plenty of thrills today.
But it was a dreary, bad-tempered 1-0 win for the Gunners when they last came to Brighton so I'm going to combine the away win with under 4.5 goals at evens with Bet365.
Five yellows were flashed when these teams last faced off and there could still be some bad blood from that game.
Backing both teams to pick up two or more cards pays 5/4 and that might be worth a flutter.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa
Tottenham's massive summer investment is still showing no sign of paying a dividend and the pressure is on heading into today's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
Robert De Zerbi can't seem to work out his strongest side and all the chopping and changing is having a detrimental effect.
Spurs still haven't scored in the Premier League, with their only two points so far coming in 0-0 draws.
Aston Villa's start to the league campaign has been even worse, with Unai Emery's men collecting a single point so far.
But they have claimed away wins in the Champions League and EFL Cup so today's clash is a tricky one to call.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals has landed in Villa's last three so I reckon this could be the game when Tottenham's fans finally get to see some thrills.
Combining those bets today pays evens at Bet365 and that could come up as Spurs surely can't keep firing blanks in the Premier League.
Hibernian vs Aberdeen
The pick of the action in the SPFL Premiership today comes at Easter Road as Hibs host Aberdeen just days after sacking manager David Gray.
Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock made it six home league defeats in a row for the Hibees and that's why the axe came down on legend Gray.
On the same night Aberdeen romped to a 4-0 win away to a decent Motherwell side so I'm struggling to see how Bet365 can make Hibs 8/11 favourites today.
The Dons look overpriced at 7/2 but I'm going to play it a bit safer by backing them in the double chance at 21/20.
Caretaker boss John Potter will have Hibs fired up and Aberdeen rarely hold back, as they proved by collecting six yellows in the recent loss to Rangers.
That makes me think the referee could be busy today and backing over 4.5 cards pays 11/10 at Bet365.
