Saturday’s Football Tips: SPFL Premiership title on the line as Celtic host Rangers

ALL eyes will be on Celtic Park at lunchtime today as Rangers bid to keep their SPFL Premiership title hopes alive with an Old Firm derby win behind enemy lines.

With just three games to go, Philippe Clement's side trail champions Celtic by three points, so it's pretty much a must-win game for Gers.

But their form hasn't been great of late and Clement still has some key players injured while Brendan Rodgers finally has a full-strength squad to pick from.

The Hoops looked pretty slick in their last home game as they beat Hearts 3-0 and will have 60,000 fans roaring them on, so the bookies make them odds-on favourites for a win that would effectively seal the title.

Celtic vs Rangers

The last Old Firm derby had pretty much everything, with a goal inside the first minute and a stoppage-time strike bookending a thrilling match that ended 3-3.

With Rangers needing a win, this should be another open game and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays just 5/6 at Bet365. Backing over 3.5 match strikes will take you above evens at 11/8.

VAR had a big impact on that 3-3 draw at Ibrox with two penalties awarded and a goal for Rangers chalked off. It could play another starring role today and you can get odds of 13/8 on another spot-kick being awarded while a sending-off pays 2/1.

The midfield battle will be key and it's always worth backing players in the engine room for a card in this fixture as the tackles fly in. Celtic skipper Callum McGregor is 21/20 to go into the book while the same bet pays 13/10 for Gers star Mohamed Diomande.

Fulham vs Manchester City

There's a tasty lunchtime clash in the Premier League as well as Manchester City look to take another stride towards the title with a win at Fulham.

Pep Guardiola's side have been showing no signs of slipping up and Erling Haaland has timed his return to form perfectly, with the big Norwegian hitting four goals last time out.

Bet365 make the champions 2/9 hot favourites but combining a Manchester City win with BTTS boosts the odds to 11/8. That stands a chance as Fulham have some dangerous players and City conceded last time out against Wolves.

Haaland is just 4/7 for another goal but backing him to repeat the header he scored last week boosts the odds to a tasty 7/1.

West Ham United vs Luton Town

Luton Town sit three points adrift of safety with just two Premier League games to play so they need to go all for victory at West Ham United today.

It's the first Hammers game since the club announced gaffer David Moyes will be standing down at the end of the season. He won't take charge of another match at the London Stadium so the players will be out to give him a proper send-off.

Going for goals is always a smart option with Luton and over 3.5 match strikes pays 11/10 with Bet365. Lucas Paqueta will provide the inspiration as usual for West Ham and he's 3/1 for an assist.

With Luton going for it, I also fancy the Hatters for over 4.5 corners, which pays 4/5.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea

If Luton can get a win in London it will pile the pressure on Nottingham Forest ahead of their tea-time kick-off against Chelsea.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men gave themselves a bit of breathing space last week as a 3-1 win at Sheffield United moved them three points clear of the Hatters.

They also played well in defeat to Manchester City last time out at the City Ground but face a Chelsea side in good form after derby wins over Spurs and West Ham.

Nicolas Jackson hit a double last time out for the Blues and looks decent value to either score or assist here at 21/20 with Bet365. Forest midfielder Danilo likes a crack at goal and he's 7/4 for a shot on target.

Milton Keynes Dons vs Crawley Town

MK Dons need to go for it in the League Two play-off semi-final as they trail Crawley 3-0 after a disastrous first leg.

Home striker Ellis Harrison has two goals from his last three outings and Bet365 price him at 13/10 for anytime scorer.
