Newcastle could all but end Arsenal’s title challenge today in what should be a cracker at St James' Park.
The Magpies have managed draws with Arsenal and Manchester City already this season but a win over the title-chasers today would boost their standing going in to next season when they'll be aiming to become title contenders themselves.
Eddie Howe's men have won eight of their last nine in the league and are in good goalscoring form, hitting the net 13 times in their last three outings.
Worryingly for the Gunners they've conceded eight in their last three on the road. A 3-1 victory over Chelsea got Mikel Arteta's side back to winning ways but that was their first in five and today's trip to the north east was always going to be a real tester for them in the run-in.
The bookies can barely split the sides, making Newcastle slight faves at 6/4 compared to Arsenal's 13/8. It feels like a game that could go either way but it's the Magpies recent purple patch in front of goal that catches the eye.
Two or more goals pays even money. Up against a team that'd kept just one clean sheet in 11 that looks a fair price.
At Tynecastle Celtic will be aiming to get the Premiership title wrapped up as quickly as possible today.
The Hoops are just one win away from an 11th championship win in 12 years and are on track for a world record eighth domestic Treble.
Hearts exited their recent slump in spectacular fashion last time out with a 6-1 win over Ross County. Interim boss Steven Naismith will be eyeing a big scalp today to boost his chances of claiming the hob on a permanent basis.
Celtic will be with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnson from their backline so could be a bit more vulnerable at the back. That, coupled with Lawrence Shankland seemingly back to his best, could mean goals at either end and BTTS appeals at 3/4 as does adding Over 2.5 Goals to make it an even money shot.
Over at Ibrox, Aberdeen will attract interest at 7/1. The Dons beat Rangers 2-0 a fortnight ago and ran them close in the previous two encounters. Barry Robson has been confirmed as permanent manager since that victory at Pittodrie which capped a brilliant run of results since he took temporary charge.
Whislt Robson has got a tune out a talented squad, his opposite number today, Michael Beale, must begin his rebuild in the southside of Glasgow. This season looks destined to be trophyless and with up to eight players out of contract this summer Beale will surely start to look ahead to next season. That could result in a revamped line-up today.
There's unlikely to be much enthusiam around Ibrox following last week's Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Celtic and if the Dons can get on the scoresheet first they could take advantage and leave Glasgow with something this afternoon.
Rangers have conceded first in 27 of 52 matches this season and Aberdeen to score first at 3/1 appeals.

NAP Newcastle 3+ offsides 11/8 skybet
Irish Cup Final at 2-30 this afternoon, Ballymena v Crusaders, a repeat of last year’s final. It should be a tight game where set pieces are key.
That’s why Boylesports 25/1 on defender Craig Farquhar anytime goalscorer is worth a small bet. He scored the first goal in Ballymena’s shock 2-0 win over Larne in the semi and will no doubt be given licence to get forward for corners and free kicks.
4 hour drive up to Stoke On Trent to see my side wrap up the title ( hopefully!!)
More than just a gut feeling we will beat them soundly today
Plymouth-1 on the handicapp 9-4 is my bet, can see us possibly netting 2 or 3 so goals and a few corners as well should be good options. 12 o’clock kick off everyone today!
Sorry Den, I missed completely your post when I posted mine – just saw it. Good luck today.

This game has huge potential to boil over, Arsenal will be frustrated at their position in the so called title race, can see a few cards here.
West Ham v Man Utd
Man Utd to win at 1/1 (NAP)
Best of luck
Also want to share a little fancy eyed up for tomorrow as I will likely be too busy to get on here.
Colchester v Mansfield
This is a game that screams corners. Colchester have the highest average match corners FOR when at home and Mansfield have the highest average corners FOR when playing away.
● Colchester
average 6.23 corners at home
91% of all their home matches have seen over 8.5 corners. Way higher than the teams 2nd and 3rd (Bradford 81%, Harrogate 77%)
●Mansfield
Average 5.59 corners in away games
Mansfield have a very unlikely chance of reaching the playoffs, they need to win and overturn a 3 goal swing with Bradford and Bradford have to lose. Also they have an out with Salford, exactly the same situation, they need to win Salford need to lose but the GD swing must be 5 here.
The way this game will surely pan out is Mansfield will have a real go from the off as they have to get an early goal to have any chance which points to them having an excellent chance to rack up the corner numbers.
The bet I really like is over 2 Mansfield 1st half corners at 10/11. The reason for just targeting the 1st half and not the full match is that they will have constant updates from the bench and the crowd how Bradford and Salford are doing and possibly both teams will be leading at half time so their heads could just drop and the game will just peter out.
My bet for the game
Mansfield over 2 first half corners 10/11 bet365
Newcastle vs Arsenal BB
Newcastle to win either half
Over 7.5 match corners
1/1
Arsenal are currently playing in halves. One half they are irresistible the other unrecognizable. They have lost in either half in each of the last five matches,even to Chelsea and rock bottom Southampton. Newcastle have won at least one half in 5 out of 6, only failing to do so at resurgent Aston villa. I threw in the corners to boost the price.
Westham vs Man Utd
West Ham to win the second half
13/5
There is no way Celtic will run over Hearts today. Hearts will be up for it and I can see them covering the 3.5 corners at 11/10 on bet365 quite comfortably
That didn’t take long. Don’t and dusted early doors.
Also got to fancy Andy Halliday for a card at 3/1
West Ham Btts
Over 1 Home team corner
Bolton on fire with the corners one again….?
Afternoon gents,

Just out of interest Hull, how do you see this game for goals?

Small Side bet
BTTS and over 2.5 goals 6-4 (BETWAY bet builder)
Last game of the season and both sides have nothing to play for.
Portmore don’t score or concede many and they draw a lot, 13/25 games.
Molynes do score and concede a lot.
12 of last 13 seen BTTS and they scored in all 13.
10 of these were BTTS and over 2.5 goals.
Reverse fixture ended 1-1.
No point with a prediction as it’s dependant on portmore being a bit more adventurous than usual as it’s their last game.
1-1 or 1-2 would be good.
