It's another quiet day on the football front so a chance for us to get ahead of the game and start to narrow down the field for the weekend's bets.
The Premier League fixtures have thrown up a Merseyside Derby and a London Derby for us to enjoy.
Liverpool host Everton in the early kick-off and it's hard to see past a win for the Reds at on current form. In the tea-time kick-off it's Chelsea v Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have managed to string three wins together for the first time since March but the title-chasing Gunners will be a different proposition and make the shortlist at 13/10.
In the evening Sheffield United welcome Manchester United to Bramall Lane. The Blades are still winless at the foot of the table after picking up just one point from their opening eight games. Scott McTominey got the Red Devils out of jail against Brentford and had a goal harshly ruled out for Scotland against Spain. He looks almost certain to start after that cameo appearance against the Bees and is a tasty 13/2 to net anytime.
Manchester City and Newcastle United could have tricky home fixtures against Brighton and Crystal Palace respectively but if you fancy the home Double it pays even money.
The top two in the Championship are away from home with Ipswich Town at Rotherham on Friday night and league leaders Leicester City away to Swansea City who have won their last four in the league. The win Double for the visitors pays 6/4.
Middlesbrough are worth watching at the moment. They look like they've found their mojo once again under Michael Carrick. They've won five on the bounce including a 4-0 derby thumping of Sunderland and welcome Birmingham on Saturday. That of course means Wayne Rooney will be the dugout following his surprise appointment during the international break. Boro are 3/4 but the new manager factor throws some doubt on that and the Blues are 15/4 to mark Rooney's first game in charge with a win.
Another manager making his bow will be Phillipe Clement at Ibrox. The Belgian is the latest Rangers boss tasked with closing the gap on Celtic. Hibs are the opponents and under Nick Montgomery they've yet to taste defeat. The Hibees are 6/1 to hand Clement a defeat on his introduction to Scottish football but a full Ibrox will be willing the former Monaco manager to a winning start at 4/11.
Dundee United‘s away form has been good in the Championship. They're in Glasgow on Saturday against Partick Thistle who have been inconsistent all season. There should be goals in this one with Over 2.5 at 17/20.
On Friday night Airdrieonians look a tempting price at 23/20 to beat Queen's Park. The Diamonds' home form had been good until a 2-1 defeat to Ayr last time out but the Spiders are in freefall at the moment and need to be opposed.
Let us know who's on your shortlist for the weekend.

Small stakes effort in Iran – good luck today.
nice work mate…
Main bet on gremio corners came in but the acca fell 2
Corners short.
A game I like today in Brazil is cruzeiro v flamengo. The more I look at it the more I like it. Match corners set a little too high for this match at 11 for my liking.
Instead I’m going for cruzeiro team corners
Over 6 at 6/5 main bet
Over 7 at 2/1
Over 8 at 10/3
Good luck
I was just checking this for myself and don’t wanna put anyone off but last 3 h2hs seen 3, 5 and 8. Don’t wanna seem rude, sorry if i have, hope it pays off for ya ?
Cheers hammy ? when I pick my corner bets I don’t look at the h2h ever. Different players and sometimes different managers who will have a completely different style to the previous manager. I pick my corner bets on recent stats from both sides for match corners and team corners I look at the home team recent corner count.
The reason I like Cruzeiro corners is because they have hit
9, 8, 10, 8 (against the league leaders), 13 and 11 in their most recent home games.
The price has come down since this morning on the team corners, over 6 was 6/5 now 10/11 over 7 was 2/1 now 8/5 and over 8 was 10/3 now 13/5. Doesn’t mean it will come in but it’s encouraging.
It still might lose but I do fancy it.
Good luck with your bets mate
Just checked the stats mate and you were bang on ? tbf I should have looked further into it, disappointed now! ? Nice tipping and sorry to sh*t on it ??
No worries hammy. I’m just glad they came in after all that ?

América Women v Queretaro Women

Queretsro women to score 17-10 BETWAY .. NAP…….**
Best elsewhere I see is 5-4 at HILLS !!!!!
America are one of the top dogs in Mexico while queretsro fall into the mid table catagory and America are 1-33 to win.
Queretsro though have scored in 10 of last 11 games and in 10 of last 11 away games, and scored away at Monterrey and Guadalajara recently both who sit just below America.
Head to head no too bad with 4 of last 5 seeing America win with BTTS.
Same with 3 of the 4 played here.
Prediction 3-1 or 4-1
