It was a goals fest in the Premier League yesterday, 26 goals scored in five matches, all of them going Over 3.5 Goals. Let’s hope for more of the same today. Following on from a goal-laden midweek it’s now 64 goals scored in 15 matches this week – an average of a whopping 4.26 goals per game (and still there […]

Newcastle enjoyed a rare away day success with a convincing win at Aston Villa and that have their tails up on Tyneside ahead of today’s clash with Luton. The Hatters also enjoyed their midweek outing, a 4-0 thrashing of Brighton which lifted them out of the bottom three. Gaffer Rob Edwards said post-match that the best way for them to […]

There’s no-one in better form in the Championship at the moment than Leeds United and they could go second top with a win at Bristol City this evening. Daniel Farke’s men have won won four in a row and are 8/11 to make it five on the spin. They’ve been ultra-reliable at Elland Road where they remain the only team […]

After a slow start to the season Wolves are threatening the top half of the table and a win tonight would see them leapfrog opponents Manchester United in to 9th. Gary O’Neil’s side have only been beaten twice at Molineux and not since a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool back in September, so it’s now eight matches since they lost league […]

Arsenal moved to within two points of Liverpool ahead of their meeting at the Emirates on Sunday but the Reds have the chance to re-establish a five point gap with a win over Chelsea tonight. It finally looks like Mauricio Pochettino has Chelsea heading in the right direction but wins over Palace, Luton, Preston, Middlesbrough and Fulham shouldn’t have fans […]

Fulham have had a tough week, exiting both the EFL Cup and FA Cup in the space of four days. They’ve now won just two of their last ten, against Rotherham and Arsenal, which kind of sums up the Cottagers’ season. Everton haven’t fared much better. They squeezed past Crystal Palace after a replay only to exit at the hands […]

The weekend proved that there’s still some magic left in the FA Cup and tonight Wrexham will be out to add another chapter to their giant-killing history at Blackburn. 7,000 fans will be making the trip north to Ewood Park in search of a win that would set up a home tie with Newcastle United in the next round. There […]

It’s been almost 12 years since West Brom and Wolves met in a Black Country derby with fans but absence is unlikely to have made the heart grow fonder. There’s a long standing hatred between both sets of supporters and it’s hoped that the 11.30am kick-off will take some of the sting out of the fixture this morning. Both were […]

Last night’s four FA Cup matches failed to really catch fire and there’s little to get excited about in today’s ties. Teams at 1/2, 2/5 and 1/10 don’t offer much value for punters so the matches look best avoided until this evening when Fulham host Newcastle live on ITV4. The Cottagers were edged out of the EFL Cup at the […]

IT’S FA Cup fourth round weekend and I’m giving you the chance to win a £100 in CASH if you can pick a winning 2+ Goals Double this weekend. Those who follow me will know I love a bet on teams to score two or more goals so I’m challenging you to pick out a winning Double at odds of […]

Holders Manchester City must do things the hard way if they’re to hold on to the FA Cup, a trip to Spurs awaits this evening and Pep Guardiola’s side will need to be at their best to keep their grip on the trophy. Spurs are currently just three points behind City in the Premier League, albeit having played one game […]

A week of cup football continues tonight with the first of this year’s fourth round FA Cup matches. Live on BBC iPlayer (and SC4 for viewers in Wales) the cameras are on the south coast for Swansea’s visit to Premier League side Bournemouth.

Liverpool take a slender one-goal lead to Craven Cottage tonight as they and Fulham battle it out for a place in the EFL Cup final. The Reds had to come from behind to win the first leg after Willian gave Fulham an early lead. Second half goals from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo turned the match around to leave the […]

Despite being a goal down from the first leg Chelsea are overwhelming favourites to qualify for the EFL Cup final when Middlesbrough come calling at Stamford Bridge tonight. Hayden Hackney’s tidy finish was enough to give Boro the first leg advantage two weeks ago and the bookies make them 9/4 chances to book their place at Wembley with Chelsea at […]

Ipswich’s visit to the King Power stadium tonight could go a long way to determining who’ll make a return to the top flight next season. It could be Ipswich’s last chance to put the brakes on Leicester City’s charge towards the Premiers League, defeat would see them fall 10 points behind Enzo Marseca’s men. The Tractor Boys returned to winning […]

Liverpool can open up a five point gap at the top of the table if they can overcome Bournemouth in today’s Super Sunday match. The league leaders have lost just once on the road in the league but have won only half of their ten away matches. But they’ve a good record against today’s opponents, winning eight of the last […]

Ivan Toney’s return for Brentford has grabbed a few headlines and the England striker is 5/4 to mark his return with a goal today. The 27-year-old served an eight-month ban for betting offences but reports are he’s been keeping himself in good shape and bagged a hat-trick for the Bees’ B side at Southampton earlier in the month. Toney’s reappearance […]

The big guns enter the Scottish Cup this weekend and Aberdeen face a proverbial banana skin against Clyde tonight. The Dons were dumped out of the cup at this stage last season by sixth-tier Darvel in one of the competition’s biggest upsets, a match which accelerated boss Jim Goodwin’s departure from the club. His replacement, Barry Robson, has also come […]

The African Cup of Nations hasn’t been short on surprises so far but all three of today’s fixtures in Ivory Coast look tough to call. The hosts can book their place in the knock-out stages with a win over Nigeria and home advantage could be the deciding factor for the Ivorians at 11/10. Also in Group is the battle of […]

Three places remain up for grabs in the FA Cup Fourth Round ahead of tonight’s trio of replays at Bristol Rovers v Norwich City, Everton v Crystal Palace and Blackpool v Nottingham Forest. Forest came from behind to salvage the tie after Blackpool raced in to the lead thanks to two first half goals in the space of two minutes […]

There’s some unfinished business in the Third Round of the FA Cup and over tonight and tomorrow there’s eight replays which will finalise the line up for the next round. Bolton will be plenty of punters’ idea of a contender to spring a surprise tonight but they might’ve missed their opportunity by not delivering a knockout blow against Luton Town […]

The African Nations Cup comes in to focus today with reigning champions Senegal in action this afternoon. Hosts Ivory Coast got off to a winning start on Saturday but Egypt and Nigeria were held to surprise draws and Ghana were shocked by Cape Verde by on their opening matches yesterday. The Senegalese were very slow starters in the 2021 edition […]

Ange Postecoglou has moved quickly to fill some gaps in his Tottenham Hotspur squad and new arrivals Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner are expected to feature at Old Trafford today against Manchester United. Former Chelsea striker Werner has grabbed most of the headlines following a relatively unimpressive stint previously in the Premier League. The German averaged a goal every 3.87 […]

There’s a limited Premier League card this weekend but we should be in for some entertainment when Newcastle host Manchester City tonight. Eddie Howe could do with a big performance and result to reignite his side’s season and what better opportunity than when the reigning champions come calling. The Magpies have had a disappointing season but recorded a morale-boosting 3-0 […]

Manchester City could be hitting form at just the right time, which is bad news for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle and you can cash in if the meeting of both sides turns in to a goalfest at St James’ Park. Bet365‘s offer of a £2 free bet for every goal scored in the game (when you stake £10 pre-match) looks a […]

The focus is on the bottom end of the Premier League tonight as two of the bottom three meet live on TNT Sports. All three promoted teams have found the going tough this season and it’s looking likely that they’ll make an immediate return to the Championship. The bookies don’t often get it wrong and have Sheffield United at 1/25 […]

A quartet of La Liga’s finest are in Saudi Arabia this week for the four-team Spanish Super Cup. Real Madrid booked their place in Sunday’s final with a win over city rivals Atletico last night in a 5-3 extra-time win. Tonight it’s the turn of champions Barcelona against Copa Del Rey runners-up Osasuna. It’s the latter’s first appearance in the […]

Liverpool overcame several absences to knock Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the weekend and they’ll need to dig deep once again in tonight’s first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final at Anfield. Trent Alexandar Arnold misses out tonight but the good news is that Virgil Van Dijk should make his return in defence. With several players out through […]

It may have been a distinctly average season for Chelsea so far but they’re just 180 minutes away from Wembley. Standing in their way are Championship side Middlesbrough. The first of their two-legged semi-finals kicks-off tonight at the Riverside in a match that’ll conjure memories of the 1997 FA Cup final, won by the Blues thanks to goals by Roberto […]

We wrap up this weekend’s FA Cup action with a trip to DW Stadium for tonight’s live match on ITV. 20 years ago Manchester United won the competition for an 11th time, and in the 19 years since then both they and tonight’s opponents have lifted the trophy on the same number of occasions; once. The Latics famously triumphed over […]

Cup upsets were few and far between on Saturday, let’s see if there’s any on the cards on Sunday. In-form Bolton will fancy their chances at Kenilworth Road where Luton Town are the hosts. Wanderers have won four in a row and sit second in the League One table, just two points behind Portsmouth with two games in hand but […]

FA Cup Third Round is as much a banana skin for punters as it is for the clubs involved. There’s a lot of teams at pretty short prices but they won’t all win so tread carefully. Stand out tie of the day is the Tyne-Wear derby between Sunderland and Newcastle at lunchtime. Newcastle have won just one of their last […]

Neither Crystal Palace nor Everton could book their place in the Fourth Round last night but this evening another five top flight clubs give it a go. Pick of the ties, at least according to ITV, is their live match from North London where Ange Postegclou’s Tottenham Hotspur host Burnley. The Aussie won three of four domestic cup competitions in […]

FA Cup Third Round proper makes an early start this evening with an all-Premier League clash at Selhurst Park. 1995 winners Everton are the visitors and they’ll be aiming to improve on a record that’s seen them win just one of their last seven in the competition away to top flight opposition. Crystal Palace were semi-finalists just two seasons ago, […]

Viaplay Sports have a quadruple-bill of La Liga matches across their two stations and the highlight will be at Estadi Montilivi where 3rd placed Atletico Madrid are the visitors at 2nd place Girona. Girona have taken La Liga by surprise this season and only a late goal conceded at Real Betis last time out prevented them from being top of […]

The SPFL Premiership goes in to hibernation for a couple of weeks but before it signs-off for the winter break we’ve a full round of fixtures this afternoon. Celtic ensured they’d be top when the teams return at the end of the month by winning their second Glasgow Derby of the season but that’ll be relatively menaingless if they don’t […]

Happy New Year to everyone, what better way to start 2024 than with an iconic Premier League fixture? Those of a certain vintage will remember only too well two classic 4-3 epics between Liverpool and Newcastle and whilst we might not see seven goals shared tonight it should be an entertaining encounter. The Magpies will hope the new year brings […]

Defeats on Thursday meant it was afar from a Merry Christmas for Arsenal and Tottenham but both have the chance to bounce back quickly this afternoon. Spurs looks to have the easier task on paper with home match against 12th-placed Bournemouth but the Cherries have won their last four and won’t fear their trip to North London. Ange Postecloglou’s side […]
Posted on: 30 Dec 2023
We’re all set for an intriguing lunchtime clash in the second Glasgow Derby of the season today. Once again there’ll be no away fans present, which hands Celtic a massive advantage in front of 60,000 home fans roaring them on from the stands. But Rangers come in to the game in great spirits having secured the first piece of silverware […]

The games are coming thick and fast this week and tonight we have a full EFL card in England. Leicester City are six points clear in the Championship and are 8/13 to win in Wales against Cardiff City tonight. Jannik Vestergaard’s injury-time own goal prevented them from going even further ahead when his deflection handed Ipswich Town a point in […]

The live matches continue on Amazon Prime tonight with a London derby where West Ham visit Arsenal. The Emirates hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the Hammers, they’ve lost 12 of their last 13 visits there and the bookies don’t rate their chances tonight, pricing them up as 13/2 shots to claim the three points. They’ll be hoping to […]

Man City have clocked up the miles in December with trips to Serbia and Saudi Arabia, where they were crowned Club World Champions, but its a short journey along the M62 for them tonight to take on Everton. Concern for City will be that their talisman Rodri limped off against Fluminense but they’re hopeful he should be fit for tonight. […]

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with friends and family and are looking forward to the traditional Boxing Day card. It’s back to business today and there’s plent to look forward to.

Just one more sleep until Christmas. And in the Premier League, just one more match until Christmas. Wolves and Chelsea serve up today’s Christmas Eve offering live on Sky Sports at 1pm with the hosts looking a little underestimated by the bookies. 11/4 feels like a big price for a team that’s already beaten Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at […]

The battle for Christmas number one reaches its climax this evening but who will end up Top of the Pops for the festive period in the Premier League? Aston Villa blew their chance last night, only managing a draw with Sheffield United which means it’s down to Liverpool and Arsenal in tonight’s clash at Anfield. The Reds were off key […]

You’d have got incredible odds at the start of the season on Aston Villa to be top of the Premier League at Christmas but with one just round of fixtures to go its now a 15/1 shot. If the Villans win by four or more against relegation-threatened Sheffield United AND Liverpool and Arsenal draw at Anfield on Saturday night, Unai […]

The Christmas weekend starts early this week with tonight’s clash between Crystal Palace and Brighton at Selhurst Park. Palace might have unsettled Manchester City again at the weekend but the 2-2 draw made it six without a win for Roy Hodgson’s side who have slipped to 15th in the table. Hodgson might count himself unlucky not to have picked up […]

Chelsea, Fulham and Middlesbrough make up an unexpected trio of semi-finalists in the Carabao Cup after last night’s ties and tonight its Liverpool and West Ham who are vying to join them.

The EFL Cup is back in the limelight this week as the competition reaches the stage where clubs start to take things a little more seriously. We’re down to the last eight and one thing is certain, we’ll have a non-Premier League club in the semi-finals; the winners of the tie between League One Port Vale and Middlesbrough from the […]

Ipswich’s slip up in the ‘Old Farm’ derby on Saturday gives Leicester the chance to open up a 3-point lead at the top of the Championship when they take on Birmingham City tonight. Blue’s boss Wayne Rooney has been talking down the side-show that sees him face Jamie Vardy’s side for the first time since the pair’s wives were embroiled […]

Ten points separate Liverpool and Manchester United in the table but the bookies believe there’s an even bigger gulf in class on the pitch. United go to Anfield today as massive 8/1 (Betfred, Coral) underdogs, a price rarely, if ever, seen in this fixture. The Red Devils were 9/5 ahead of kick-off in their last visit to Liverpool but came […]

European midweeks usually mean a truncated Saturday Premier League card and there’s not much standing out in this week’s fixtures. Crystal Palace have caused Man City problems at the Etihad in recent seasons but they go there in rotten form at the moment. City at 1/5 aren’t backable, especially with Erling Haaland a doubt. The less said about Chelsea v […]

The weekend’s action kicks-off with a live Friday night match between struggling Nottingham Forest and a Spurs side trying to recover their early season form. Forest fans have rallied round manager Steve Cooper in recent weeks as he appeared to be under pressure following four straight defeats but a 1-1 draw at Fulham last weekend stopped the rot. They need […]

A disappointing 1-1 draw with lowly Aris Limassol has left Rangers with plenty to do if they’re to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League. A win at Real Betis and they’re through but anything else and the picture become a little cloudier. Currently in second place they’re one point ahead of Sparta Prague, against whom they’ve the […]

Tonight’s clash at Celtic Park might be a dead rubber as far as Group E is concerned (Celtic are already out, Feyenoord are already guaranteed to finish 3rd) but there’s still plenty to play for for Brendan Rodgers men. The beancounters in the boardroom will be eyeing a €2.8m prize that comes with all three points, whilst Rodgers himself will […]

It’s win or bust for Manchester United at Old Trafford tonight where only victory will do against Bayern Munich. Actually, a win might not be enough. They must also hope that it finishes level between Copenhagen and Galatasaray if they’re to stay in the competition. Bayern are already through but pride will prevent them going easy in Manchester. They’ll want […]

Well done to whoever’s responsible for Sky Sports scheduling this evening. Whether by design or quirk of fate they’ve landed on a League One match between the division’s top two, Portsmouth and Bolton. Wanderers trail Pompey by three points but they’ve a game in hand and a win tonight would take them top of the table. They’re unbeaten since early […]

After a spectacular start to the season Ange Postecoglou is learning about the harsh realities of the Premier League.

Injuries and suspensions have hit hard and captain, Son’s fitness […]

Aston Villa were excellent in their 1-0 win over Manchester City in midweek and put their top four credentials on the line again this evening when league leaders Arsenal are the visitors.

Tonight’s live offering on Sky Sports comes from the midlands where Coventry City host rivals Birmingham, Wayne Rooney’s appointment at Brum has been nothing short of a disaster so far. The Blues have won just one of their eight games since he replaced John Eustace in October as they’ve slid down the table from 6th to 15th. Four of the […]

There’s two Premier League games tonight to wrap up the midweek action on Amazon Prime. Newcastle have earned plenty of plaudits at times this season but they’ve only won once away from home in the Premier League, that victory a spectacular 8-0 mauling of bottom side Sheffield United. But they’ve failed to win at the likes of Brighton (3-1), West […]

Match of the night is undoubtedly at Villa Park this evening where Aston Villa can leapfrog champions, Manchester City. Aston Villa’s 22 league wins this year is only bettered by tonight’s visitors and they’re on a run of 13 successive wins at home in the Premier League. Although Villa haven’t won any of the last 15 editions of this fixture […]

Burnley’s 5-0 win over Sheffield United looks like it might’ve cost Blades’ boss Paul Heckingbottom his job but for Vincent Kompany he’ll be hoping its the start of the Clarets’ climb up the table. A win at Wolves could take them out of the relegation zone but a trip to Molineux has proven difficult for even the best of teams […]

That’s reflected in the 2/7 odds on the home […]

There’s should be plenty of entertainment at St James’ Park in the Saturday night match, live on TNT Sports.

Marti Cifuentes picked up his first win as QPR boss on Tuesday ending a run of 12 matches without a win.

Revenge will be on the minds of Rangers fans ahead of the visit of Aris Limassol to Ibrox tonight. The Cypriots handed the Gers one of their worst results in Europe when they won 2-1 back in September so the blue half of Glasgow will be out to set the record straight this evening. A win for Phillipe Clement’s side […]

With two games to go in Group A Manchester United’s fate is currently out of their own hands. They must win in Turkey tonight, but even two more victories could see them eliminated if FC Copenhagen win their two remaining matches.

Monday Night Football comes from Craven Cottage where 15th place Fulham host 12th place Wolverhampton Wanderers. The hosts are on a poor run of form and have yet to really get going this season.

Super Sunday has two intriguing matches lined up this afternoon and there’s a nice little appetiser from Scotland at lunchtime too. Aberdeen v Rangers is never short of drama and debate has raged in Scotland this week as to whether the Dons raise their game for this fixture over all others.
