The lead at the top of the Premier League is getting passed around like a cigarette in a sixth-year common room. Three teams have occupied the top spot in the last 24 hours and from a neutral perspective let's hope it remains this competitive from now until the end of the season.
Both Manchester sides obliged on Wednesday to bring up the Deadly Double at just over even-money and it's United who regained top spot after a 2-1 win over Fulham.
City did their bit with a hard earned 2-0 win at home to Aston Villa and things keep ticking along nicely with Liverpool in action on Thursday.
It's unlikely that many punters would've been on Celtic at Livingston given their poor record there and both sides' recent form so it was no real surprise to see the game finish level but the big upset of the night came in the Copa Del Rey where Real Madrid were bounced out of the competition by third division outfit Alcoyano – who were down to 10 men. Zinedine Zidane might be calling Neil Lennon soon for advice on how to keep his job!
Thursday's Tips
So on to Thursday and Liverpool have somehow arrived at the stage where they can't afford to drop any points since eveyone around them keeps on winning. They shouldn't have too many difficulties agianst Burnley although Sean Dyche's men did come away from Anfield with a 1-1 draw on their last visit in July, ending Liverpool's 100% home record, but of course the league title was already in the bag by that point.
The Reds have failed to score in their last three and haven't gone four league games without a goal for 21 years. Burnley to keep a clean sheet is a massive 10/1 at Bet365.
Mis-firing Liverpool are just 2/7 to score at least two while Over 2.5 is a measly 8/15. SlipsTips has cast his eye over the match and you can find his best bets in the match preview below, including a 4/1 card play.
Barcelona will be aiming to avoid being added to the list giant-killing victims in the Copa Del Rey when they visit Cornellá. Meanwhile Atletico Madrid (8/11) have the chance to extend their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points when they tavel to 15th placed Eibar.
That's another match that has caught SlipsTips eye and he's posted a 5/6 BetBuilder that he lives the look of.

Fatih Karagumruk v Bestiktas – 13:00
BTTS and over 2.5 – evens
BTTS and over 4.5 – 4-1
Over 4.5 just a long shot since the past 2 head to heads have finished 5-2 and 4-1 to besiktas. Think the BTTS and overs is very fair price though as Fatih have scored in all 9 home games and have conceded in 7 of them. Besiktas have a good defensive record at home but away they’ve seen BTTS and overs in 7 out of 9. Seems guaranteed for goals but don’t know much of the Turkish league so could be missing something.
0-1 to besiktas at half time. I’m going to add over 2.5 goals now at 4/5 as both teams tend to see a few second half goals.
Nicely ✅ done here man??, looking on to fenerbache game for some action on the corner front most likely

New Orleans Pelicans at Utah Jazz (03:05)
BOJAN BOGDANOVIC over 2.5 three pointers
1/1 william hill
Got this bet up a couple of nights ago even though Bojan only hit 3 from 8 attempts from the three,
Bojan is usually better than that with three point stats from his last 4 games being
3 from 8 against the Pelicans
5 from 9 against the Nuggets
3 from 5 against the Hawks
4 from 6 against the Cavaliers
ZION WILLIAMSON over 22.5 points
4/5 bet365 NAP
In 7 games this season Zion has gone over this total 5 times, his other 2 games he hit 21 points, last time out Zion hit 32 against Utah and there’s no reason to think he can’t do it again
Zion’s stats are
32 points against the Jazz
31 points against the Kings
21 points against the Lakers
26 points against the Hornets
29 points against the Thunder
24 points against the Pacers
21 points against the Raptors

**WON** – Would take a 0-0 at FT as well. Dyche keeps persisting with Barnes / Wood together up top, a partnership that doesn’t work in my eyes and big reason why we have scored least goals in league. UTC
Well done Kyle. Liverpool are struggling in attack lately.
Cheers mate, you can say that again. Look like they need a clinical ST up top. What a result! ?
LIVERPOOL WIN
ATL MADRID WIN
Eibar keeper scoring 1st goal…bookies probably wouldn’t even price that up ?
3 Brazilian Serie A games – 22.00
Each team 1+ corner each half 14/5+
Chapecoense RT9 corners 2/1.
Lead 4-1 at HT at home to Ponte Preta and still goal less but PP down to 10 men just before HT.
Posh
Klopp out ???
What’s happened to the best team and manager in the history of football
Defensive masterclass from the clarets there, we were always gonna get dominated from start to finish but us keeping a clean sheet at Anfield we deserved that stroke of luck with the goal.
Brilliant performance from the clarets Kyle ??
You were the better side Kyle,excellent performance great football.
Lost treble due to liverpool.
Oh dear lord. Liverpool are such a joke! Glad I bailed out on that one!!
No Liverpool goals busts the Nap and Nb – Longshot a nice consolation and should’ve stuck with straight Liverpool corners!

Friday A league tips
Sydney v central coast mariners
Mariners come into this one in the rare position of being above Sydney in the table, they’ve started the season well by their standards but I can’t see them getting anything from the sky blues tomorrow despite having an ok record in the last 5 meetings at Sydney. Couple of narrow defeats couple of 1-1s and just the 1 hosing. However I’m on the home men to win by a couple tomorrow with the added insurance of stake back if they only squeak it by 1. They’ve had a stop start campaign so far with a game then a 2 week break then a game but they should be alright now with this game coming after last weeks derby. Kuol and Simon have picked up cards the last 2 matches for the mariners and I fancy them to get themselves into a bit of bother again they are never far away from any action, Simon throws himself into everything up front, and kicks everything above the grass, kuol is also a forward, he’s extremely clumsy and most of the time his 2nd touch is a tackle, but for the NB I’m going for team bookings and I’ll be having a wee punt on them as a double. Not certain kuol will start so if he doesn’t I’ll be looking at one of the mariners back 4, and I’ve plumped for ruon tongyik. He’s a big centre half and will be up against some serious pace in the shape of buhagier and barbarouses.
