Saturday’s Top Tips: Wolves, Celtic & Ayr Stand-Out on Saturday

AFTER four without a win the pressure is really on Arsenal who face a lunchtime date with former manager Unai Emery's Aston Villa.

The Gunners need to arrest the current slide before all of their good work this season is undone. They can return to the top spot ahead of Man City's match at Nottingham Forest later in the afternoon but things won't be easy at Villa Park with the heat now on them.

Mikel Arteta feels (rightly on some instances) that his side have been on the wrong end of some injustices and that sense of frustration could spill in to their performances. Villa are tempting at 7/2 in the interest of giving ourselves a better chance of a return the 19/20 on the host in the Double Chance market looks a safer option.

Things are looking bleak for Bournemouth at the moment following nine matches with out a win and seven straight defeats away from home in all competitions. The Cherries took a valuable point against former boss Eddie Howe's Newcastle last week and face another in-form side in the shape of Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon.

Julen Lopetegui has Wolves heading in the right direction. An impressive win over Liverpool was followed by a crucial victory over Southampton which has moved them clear of the drop zone. They've only managed a paltry nine goals at home but have found the net in four of their last five Premier League games so could be good for a couple at 5/6 against a Bournemouth side who have conceded a league-high 32 goals in 11 away matches.

Newcastle v Liverpool should be an intriguing one in the early evening kick-off. The Magpies have faltered in recent weeks, drawing their last three in the league, whilst the Reds score a crucial derby win over Everton last week to record only their second win in eight games.

A Newcastle win is long overdue in this fixture, it's been 12 meetings since the Toon Army last celebrated success against Liverpool, dating back to 2015. They may not get a better chance than tonight at 6/4.

Unusually we have both Celtic and Rangers playing at 3pm on a Saturday in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic have hit eight or more corners at home in seven of 12 at Celtic Park, six of those coming in their last seven matches at Parkhead. They're 4/5 to hit more than seven today against Aberdeen, whom they beat 9-3 on the corner count when they last met in the east end of Glasgow at the start of the season.

It should be a routine win for the relentless Celts but Rangers might find things a little tougher at the Toni Macaroni Stadium. The Gers had to come from behind to claim the three points against Livingston at the start of the season, then it took an injury-time John Lundstrum strike to rescue a point when the sides met at Ibrox.

Michael Beale has yet to taste defeat as Rangers' gaffer and it's 7/1 that Livi are the first to get the better of his side. Beale's side have so far always been able to find their way out of sticky situations and will be all out to keep their winning run going ahead of next week's cup final against Celtic.

David Martindale will be looking for a reaction after a shocking exit to Inverness last weekend and his side can cause the Blues some problems. They've score in thre of the last four meetings between the sides and can help towards BTTS at 19/20.

St Mirren could be short of a few players for Ross County‘s visit to Paisley. The Buddies have lost their last three and are clinging on to their top six place. County have looked better in the last month or so and might not be the worst bet at 16/5 or with +0.5 of a start at 9/10 on the Asian Handicap.

Last night's dropped points by Queen's Park (1-1 v Raith) and Dundee (0-1v Morton) had left the door open for Ayr United (11/8) to go top of the to table again if they can win their two games in hand.

They've a great opportunity to pick up three pionts this afternoon against managerless Partick Thistle who parted company with Ian McCall last week.

In League One the top two are at home and the double pays a tempting 9/5. Dunfermline staged a stunning comeback last week at Airdrie where they were three down with 30 mins to go only to win 4-3. The two sides meet again today at East End Park where the Pars remain unbeaten (W6 D5)

Falkirk host fourth placed Alloa. The Barins have won eight out of nine and should be trusted to get the better of the Wasps.
