Saturday’s Football Tips: In-form Saka’s decent value to cause West Ham trouble

It's a pretty quiet day in the Premier League with most of the big boys in action tomorrow but Arsenal's trip to West Ham has the potential to be a cracker.

The Gunners have roared back to form in the last couple of days and turned in one of their best performances of the season in midweek as they battered Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League.

With title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City taking on each other tomorrow, Mikel Arteta's side have the chance to close the gap with a derby win tonight.

But they face a West Ham United side who are buoyed by their excellent 2-0 win at Newcastle, a result that lifted some of the pressure on new boss Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham United vs Arsenal top betting tips

Arsenal won 6-0 on their last visit to the London Stadium and the bookies fancy them for another victory tonight, with Kwiff pricing Arteta's side at just 2/5. It's hard finding value with the Gunners such heavy favourites but combining the away win with over 2.5 goals takes you to 23/25.

The player markets offer better value and I fancy in-form Bukayo Saka to get a bit of joy against a defence that hasn't looked steady all season. The winger has six goals and nine assists so far this season and is on the penalties. He's 13/10 with Kwiff for another goal while an assist is a little bigger at 171/100.

We've seen double figures for corners in the last seven West Ham games so that market might also be worth a look. Unibet are offering 33/20 on over 4.5 West Ham corners and that looks a decent price.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs AFC Bournemouth top betting tips

Wolves have roared back to life with a four-game unbeaten run and boss Gary O'Neil will be desperate to keep that resurgence going against former club Bournemouth.

O'Neil could feel a little aggrieved for being axed by the Cherries after doing an excellent job on the south coast but that decision has been justified as Bournemouth have moved to another level under Andoni Iraola.

They've beaten Arsenal and Manchester City at home this season but haven't been as impressive on the road, with just one away win. That makes this one a tricky one to call but I can see it being a game with plenty of goals.

Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals only take you to 7/9 in a Kwiff bet builder but over 3.5 strikes on its own is better at 27/20.

Brazilians Matheus Cunha and Evanilson are in fine form up front each for each club and a double on both scoring pays 17/2.

Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United top betting tips

The pick of the games in the EFL Championship sees title-chasing Leeds United head to Ewood Park to take on a dangerous Blackburn Rovers side.

Leeds have justified their status are red-hot favourites for the league by losing just once in their last 12 games, with wins in their last three outings.

That's why Kwiff make them 7/10 favourites today but it won't be easy against a Rovers side who have also won their last two.

Leeds have conceded on their last two road trips so it could pay to combine BTTS with over 2.5 goals, which pays 11/9 at Kwiff.

Celtic vs Ross County top betting tips

With Aberdeen and Rangers in action tomorrow, Celtic have the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the SPFL Premiership today when Ross County come calling.

The Hoops haven't been at their best in domestic games after Champions League assignments this term and needed two late goals to beat the Staggies in Dingwall after their hammering by Borussia Dortmund.

They drew with Club Brugge in another draining match in midweek but didn't need to travel and Celtic have home advantage again today. That should lessen the chances of a shock and Kwiff price the champions at just 1/16 for another three points.

I'd imagine Brendan Rodgers will freshen his side up a bit and Paulo Bernardo should come into the midfield. The Portuguese kid is 9/4 at Kwiff for anytime scorer and that looks decent value if he starts.
