Thomas Frank must be scratching his head about how to stop a rampant Arsenal ahead of his side’s trip to the Etihad this evening.
The Gunners are in incredible form, scoring 31 goals in their last seven Premier League matches (6-0, 4-1, 5-0, 6-0, 3-1, 2-1 & 5-0) and host a Brentford side who have shipped 11 goals in their last four.
Trying to find an angle is the biggest challenge for punters. Arsenal to score in both halves is a measly 8/11 but becomes a 10/11 shot when you add in Over 2.5 in the game. Alternatively two or more Arsenal goals in the first half is 7/4 and is something they’ve done all of their last four league games.
Erik ten Hag remains upbeat despite back-to-back defeats for Manchester United. They look a good option at 5/6 to get back to winning ways against an Everton side who have won just one of their last 14 in all competitions.
We should see goals at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace entertain Luton Town.
The Hatters’ last seven matches have seen 5, 8, 5, 3, 4, 8 & 4 goals scored, averaging a bonkers 5.3 goals per game. Palace aren’t quite so entertaining but they have netted in each of the their last six. Over 2.5 goals is backable at 3/4 but over 3.5 appeals more at 2/1.
We’ll also be on all three 3pm top flight matches to be Over 2.5 at just over 4/1.
QPR are a team worth watching in the Championship. It’s now just one defeat in 9 for the Rs who have escaped the relegation zone for the first time since September.
They host a Middlesbrough side who’s season looks like it could fizzle out in mid-table. Michael Carrick’s men haven’t kept a clean sheet this year and have managed just one shut-out on the road all season so QPR goals could provide a route to profit.
Rangers have scored two or more in eight of their last 11 and are 5/4 to do so again this afternoon
The Scottish Cup quarter finals kick-off this lunchtime with an all-Premiership clash at Pittodrie between Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.
Neil Warnock’s only win in seven since taking charge of the Dons came in the previous round against fourth-tier Bonnyrigg Rose. Killie should present a tougher challenge today.
Derek McInnes' side have won all three meetings between the sides so far this season with Aberdeen unable to lay a glove on the Ayrshire side so far. A fourth win for Kilmarnock pays 15/8.
Raith Rovers have slipped four points behind Dundee United at the top of the Championship but will be counting on three points in the Fife Derby.
Rovers have won all three league meetings with Dunfermline by a one-goal margin this season. A repeat pays 11/4.
Today’s Glasgow Derby sees Queen’s Park host Partick Thistle and a win for the Spiders would see them move within five points of the Jags with a game in hand.
The previous three league meetings have ended 3-1, 2-2 and 3-2 in favour of Thistle so goals looks the obvious play in this one. Over 2.5 and BTTS is a 4/5 shot.
Alloa’s run of wins was ended in a 4-3 thriller at Montrose but they can bounce back with victory at 4/5 against Kelty Hearts who have lost their last three, including a 5-0 thumping at the hands of Hamilton last week.

Aberdeen v KIlmarnock
2 + pens in the match 12/1 Skybet
Both teams to take a pen is a big 40/1 @ Hills
Well worth a punt imo .
Difficult looking card today in my opinion, but Kilmarnock look far too big at an Aberdeen side in total freefall, expect them to turn them over at 15/8 and also like the look of 2+ Killie goals at 19/10.
Also like the look of Elgin and Walsall to win, Elgin in good form at home against a Bonnyrigg side out of sorts. Walsall on the back of 5 wins on the bounce look too strong for Forest Green and appeal.at odds against.
Kilmarnock win 15/8 NAP 1.
Kilmarnock 2+ goals 19/10 NAP 2.
Walsall and Elgin double at 19/5 NB.
Simple double that is quite self explanatory really.
Alloa to win
Arsenal to score in both halves

Liverpool v Man City
Over 3.5 goals at 13/10 (NAP)
Over 4.5 goals at 3/1
Over 5.5 goals at 6/1
Liverpool to win are 2/1 and when they are that price at Anfield no matter who they are playing have to be snapped up, there will be City backers of course and the bookies are enticing punters with the 6/5 on offer but the fact is City don’t fare to well having won just once of their last 20 visits drawing 6 and losing 13. 4/6 Double chance is also a great price. I’m also on goals as a fresh Mo Salah returns from Injury and an Inform Darwin Nunez look to create havoc.
Best of luck
Villa v spurs tomo
Son anytime 7/5
But the goals will be assisted most likely from playmakers from deep, over the top.
Maddison 10/3 anytime assist NAP (crazy price)
Porro 4/1 – wait for lineups, only in training this week but reverse game he created 4 and 2 big chances but another one who will play them balls!
Overs is obviously a play too, but van de ven is so good that he will sweep most in my slightly biased opinion! 😉
All odds at bet365, BOL! 😁
