It has been a terrible Premier League title defence for the Anfield giants but they're still in the scrap for Champions League and FA Cup honours.

City are chasing another treble after beating Arsenal in the League Cup Final and will be hoping home advantage can help them stay on track for a Wembley return.

Manchester City vs Liverpool

Arne Slot was under pressure heading into the international break after a 2-1 loss in Brighton made it just one win in Liverpool's last four.

City, on the other hand, were hugely impressive as they beat Arsenal at Wembley so it's easy to see why they are just 4/5 at Betfred for a win in 90 minutes. You can boost those odds to 5/4 by adding on over 2.5 goals and that bet has landed in both meetings so far this season.

Things haven't quite worked out for Florian Wirtz this season after his big-money move to Liverpool but he did score twice for Germany during the international break.

The playmaker is 5/4 at BetMGM just to have an effort on target in this game and that looks decent value if he starts.

Chelsea vs Port Vale

The David and Goliath FA Cup tie this weekend comes at Stamford Bridge as League One strugglers Port Vale bid to pile the pressure on Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior.

The Blues board have vowed to stick with Rosenior despite a slump that has seen them crash out of the Champions League and drop to sixth in the Premier League.

However, fans will be screaming for the 41-year-old's head if they exit the FA Cup at home to a side sitting bottom of League One.

Port Vale have claimed the scalps of Bristol City and Sunderland this season but both those wins came at home and they're as big as 35/1 with BetMGM for a win in 90 minutes today.

It's hard finding value with Chelsea 1/12 favourites so the player markets are probably the best option. although a lot will depend on who Rosenior picks to start.

Liam Delap could get another chance up front and he's 21/20 at BetMGM for a goal while winger Alejandro Garnacho looks good for an assist at 9/4 with William Hill if he gets the nod.

Southampton vs Arsenal

Southampton are another lower-league side looking to pull off an FA Cup shock when they take on Arsenal at St Mary's.

The Gunners have had a fortnight to stew over their terrible Wembley performance and I'm expecting a reaction from Mikel Arteta's side.

But it won't be easy against a flying Saints side who have gone 14 games without defeat, including a 1-0 win away to Fulham in the last round of the FA Cup.

Arsenal have plenty of injury concerns and could find it hard breaking down a well-drilled defence so I like a Gunners win with under 3.5 goals at 5/4 with Ladbrokes.

Wonderkid Max Dowman could get another chance to shine after starting in the last round against Mansfield. The teenager is 11/10 with BetMGM to score or assist tonight.

Super singles

  • Florian Wirtz over 0.5 shots on target 5/4 BetMGM
  • Alejandro Garnacho assist 9/4 William Hill
  • Arsenal win and under 3.5 goals 5/4 Ladbrokes

    St Mirren vs
    Over 1.5 cards each team @ 6/5 (bet365) Nap

    Over 4.5 match cards @ 5/4 (bet365) Nb

    Small stakes

    Over 2.5 cards each team @ 5/1 (bet365)
    Over 5.5 match cards @ 5/2 (bet365)

    Poor couple of results last week but after no bets this week with some difficult cards I have been eyeing this one up for a while. Can’t see anything other than this game being fiesty with what’s on the line here, massive game with both teams 3 points apart and whoever loses faces being dragged further into the relegation battle. Little bit of added spice sees Robinson return to St Mirren just weeks after leaving to take the Aberdeen job and could move 6 points ahead of his former team with a win.

    Last 5 games have seen 27 yellows and 2 reds, with the nap and Nb landing in 4 out the 5.

    Lower leagues of Norway kicked off on Thursday with a game each day but majority of the card comes round Monday and Tuesday and some good games to look forward to ( if listed ) !

    Good luck 🤞
