Football spread betting tips on Sunday: Our picks

Winning margin: Fulham to down Spurs

On Sunday afternoon, it's Fulham vs Tottenham at Craven Cottage in the second-biggest London derby of the weekend. According to the spread betting winning margin stakes, the bookies are effectively calling a draw here but based on how Tottenham typically fare in matches immediately after a European assignment, that feels misplaced.

Spurs have failed to win two of their last eight matches immediately after a Europa League clash while Fulham have won five of their last seven matches in all competitions. This is a game that is more important to Fulham, too, which naturally means their players will be more up for it than their opponents.

What's more, Fulham downed Spurs 3-0 at home last season – the only previous time Ange Postecoglou has managed the club at Craven Cottae. An identical result here would smash the winning margin buy price of 0.6 out of the water.

Total goals: A snore fest awaits at the Emirates

The biggest London derby of the weekend sees Arsenal take on Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium but don't expect a classic. Neither of these two teams have been banging them in with any kind of regularity in the Premier League in recent weeks and all signs point towards a low-scoring affair.

To fail on the sell price of 2.45 on total goals, one of these clubs is going to need to score at least two goals and that just doesn't feel likely. Chelsea have only scored more than one goal in one of their last four PL matches while Arsenal have only scored one goal across their last three Premier League outings.

Total Leicester goals: Another Ruud awakening on the horizon

The final Premier League match of the weekend is Leicester vs Man Utd on Sunday night. The match sees Ruud van Nistelrooy face his former club but it's highly unlikely to be a pleasant reunion based on how the Foxes have played since the Dutchman took over at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester have not only lost 12 of the 15 Premier League matches he has taken charge but they have failed to score a goal in seven of their last eight league matches. While Man Utd are hardly rock solid at the back, they have looked more solid in recent weeks and should have enough to keep out this miserable Leicester front line.

The crazy thing about this sell price is that even if Leicester do miraculously get a goal then we will still win money. They need two to put us down and that just isn't on the cards.

Scrabbled shirts: High-scorers everywhere you look at Wembley

Although cup finals are typically low-scoring and nervy affairs, we might not need an abundance of goals to clear the scrabbled shirts buy price of 72 due to some of the names on both sides.

Liverpool's top goalscorer this season is Mohamed Salah and every goal he scores on Sunday is worth 23 points in the race to 72. Newcastle's top goalscorer this season is Alexander Isak and every goal he scores on Sunday is worth 25 points.

The man who makes this market so hard to turn down on Sunday, though, is Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai. The Hungarian attacking midfielder has scored two goals in his last three domestic appearances and netted against Newcastle in his last appearance against them. Each goal Szoboszlai scores on Sunday will be worth 44 points.

Bookings: Another fiery Old Firm Derby is on the cards

It's always exciting whenever Celtic and Rangers go head-to-head and despite the title race already being over in Scotland, expect fireworks at Celtic Park on Sunday.

To cover the booking point buy price of 58, we need either six yellow cards or one red card and four yellow cards. The bad news is, no red cards have been shown in the four previous Old Firm Derbies but the excellent news is, that a total of 36 yellow cards have been dished out across those four games.

This works out at an average of nine yellow cards per match and that would equate to 90 bookings points on Sunday.
