Manchester United have stumbled back into a crisis and Michael Carrick needs a win when they head to Elland Road to face Leeds United today.
This is always one of the spiciest fixtures in English football but there's added intrigue today as Carrick bids to get the Red Devils out of a tailspin.
They've won just two of their nine games all season and a Leeds side with only one defeat in six Premier League outings will fancy their chances of piling on the pain.
Leeds United vs Manchester United
Daniel Farke's side will scent blood against a struggling Manchester United team and Bet365 make Leeds 27/20 favourites with home advantage.
Carrick's side weren't that bad in their loss at Atletico Madrid in midweek but poor finishing and mistakes in defence cost them dearly.
So I'm wary of backing a winner in this one and will instead look to other markets to find a bit of value.
Carlos Baleba gave Manchester United a bit of added style in Madrid and his physicality will be key in a fiercely contested midfield.
The former Brighton man is 10/11 for over 1.5 fouls at Bet365 and combining that with over 0.5 fouls for opposite number Ethan Ampadu pays 133/100.
Both meetings last term hit double figures for corners so there could be some value in backing over 10.5 flag kicks today at 5/4 with Bet365.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Normal service has been resumed at Arsenal, who have recovered from the loss of their perfect record this season with back-to-back wins over Leeds and Lille.
The Gunners now head to Nottingham Forest and Bet365 make the Premier League champions 8/13 hot favourites to rack up another three points.
It has been a disappointing start so far at the City Ground for new boss Oliver Glasner, with Nottingham Forest banking just five points from their first six Premier League games.
But games between Arsenal and Glasner's Crystal Palace side were tight last term, with the Gunners winning by a single goal in both league meetings and needing penalties to progress in the Carabao Cup.
So I'm going to combine the away win today with under 3.5 goals, a bet that pays a decent 5/4 with Bet365.
Celtic vs Hearts
There's a huge clash in the SPFL Premiership today as Hearts return to Celtic Park for the first time since their agonising final-day title loss last term.
The Jambos will fancy their chances of exacting revenge after watching the Hoops lose four of their last five matches in all competitions.
New boss Wouter Vrancken plays a far more expansive style of football than predecessor Derek McInnes so it should be a good spectactle with both sides on the front foot.
We should see action at both ends and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays just 5/6. There's more value in backing BTTS in the second half, which is priced at 7/4 by Bet365.
Bad blood could still be simmering after that last meeting and backing over 4.5 cards could pay off this afternoon at 11/10.
