All eyes will be on Old Trafford today for what could be Michael Carrick's last stand as Manchester United take on AFC Bournemouth.
I'm surprised Carrick is still in charge as I thought the axe would fall on him in the wake of their 4-1 humbling by Como in midweek.
Captain Bruno Fernandes took a pop at the manager's tactics after that Champions League horror show and if Bournemouth pile on the pain today it could be curtains.
Manchester United vs AFC Bournemouth top betting tips
While United were hitting a new low under Carrick in the European arena this week, Bournemouth were basking in the glory of the club's greatest-ever result.
Seven-time European champions AC Milan were smashed 3-0 by the Cherries on Thursday night, a result that kept up their perfect record in the Europa League.
A daft red card for Milan keeper Mike Maignan gave them a helping hand but Marco Rose's men will be buzzing as they head north for Old Trafford.
I'm a bit surprised to see Bournemouth as big as 21/10 for a win today and they certainly look worth a punt to win either half at 10/11.
The Cherries usually set up to have a go so I'm expecting it to be quite an open game. Backing keepers Senne Lammens and Djorde Petrovic to each make over 2.5 saves pays a decent 20/23 at Bet365.
Liverpool vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Brighton's incredible start to the season has many people talking about them as dark horses for the Premier League title but their credentials will face a stiff test today away to Liverpool.
The Seagulls have won five of their seven league games so far and raised more than a few eyebrows when they dismantled champions Arsenal on the south coast.
They now need to brave an Anfield storm, though, and Bet365 make them 12/5 outsiders, with Liverpool the favourites at 11/10.
You rarely see Liverpool at odds-against for a game at home, unless they are facing a European superpower or one of the Premier League big guns.
That's probably because Andoni Iraola's defence continues to look so fragile, with just two clean sheets all season.
Liverpool's last three matches have produced a staggering 19 goals so it's probably best to bet on another thriller this afternoon.
BTTS and over 2.5 strikes pays just 8/11 but there's more value in over 1.5 first-half goals at 6/5 with Bet365.
Hibernian vs Celtic
New Hibs boss Marink Reedijk has lost his first two games to drop to the foot of the SPFL Premiership and there could be more misery today as champions Celtic come to Easter Road.
The Dutchman, just 34, was a bold choice to replace David Gray and caught the eye of the Hibees after an unbeaten campaign in Belgium's second tier with Beveren.
But he has already lost to Dundee United and Falkirk and now faces a Hoops side who smashed seven goals past Edinburgh rivals Hearts last weekend.
Celtic followed that up by losing 2-1 to Celta Vigo in the Europa League on Thursday and it's never easy playing away from home in the game after a continental clash.
So I've a feeling Hibs might cause Martin O'Neill's men a few problems and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 10/11 at Bet365.
Celtic have been letting opponents have an alarming amount of shots at goal this season so it could pay to back some Hibs players to get efforts on target.
Josh Mulligan likes a crack from distance and the midfielder is 2/1 to test the Hoops keeper.

Exactly my thinking aswel macca I’ve done the double of Brighton and Bournemouth only small stakes mind ,
If Fernandes starts today then that shows Carrick is an absolute Coward, under any other manager he wouldn’t feature ever again. Bournemouth coming off the back of a huge win United coming off the back of a humiliation in all aspects enough said. Liverpool game could go either way but Brighton always gives the big sides a game so worth the risk.
Fernandes shouldn’t of said what he said mate but let’s be honest the way we are they all deserve outing far too many people at united have been getting away with it for years ,

Good luck mate hope both land 👍
If anyone wants an in play bet Cucurella is 5/4 to be booked (same price he was before kick off) and in my opinion his next foul is a booking. Already committed 2 that I have seen one of which should have been a booking. Only my opinion tho nothings guaranteed
Jose Mourinho to be booked EVENS sky bet
Gotta stand a good chance that!
Good luck all 👍🏼
