ARSENAL returned to the Premier League summit at the weekend but their title bid now faces two derby days of reckoning, starting with tonight's visit of Chelsea.
It wasn't pretty for the Gunners as they ground out a 2-0 win at Wolves on Saturday but it was job done as they moved back to the top with Manchester City on FA Cup duty.
At this time last season, Mikel Arteta's men started to collapse as the champions put their foot down but they seem to be made of sterner stuff this time around.
However, it could still all go wrong in a tricky week that sees them host a dangerous Blues side before making the trip across North London to take on bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal v Chelsea: Top Betting Tips
Chelsea are coming off the back of a hugely disappointing loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup and it was a missed opportunity in every sense against Pep Guardiola's fatigued side.
Poor finishing let them down badly but the Blues played some nice stuff and look a little overpriced at 5/1 (888Sport) for punters who like a long shot. With star man Cole Palmer a doubt due to illness, it might be wiser going for the 19/20 on offer at 888Sport for over 3.5 Chelsea shots on target.
Arsenal came from 2-0 down to salvage a point at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season and the bookies are banking on another thriller, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals paying just 20/23 (Coral).
Stats bets look the safest option, with over 6/5 Arsenal corners paying 11/10 at Paddy Power. The same firm are also offering 6/4 on Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella committing over 1.5 fouls and that looks good.
Leicester City v Southampton: Top Betting Tips
There's a huge game at the top of the EFL Championship as well, with Leicester City looking to take a massive step towards promotion by beating Southampton.
It looked like Saints were going to make it a four-way fight for automatic promotion when they embarked on a run of three successive wins but that ground to a half with a 2-1 weekend loss to Cardiff.
It has left them seven points behind leaders Leicester with three to play and six points off the pace for the second automatic promotion slot. With games running out, Russell Martin's men now need a win at the King Power so it bodes well for a thriller.
BTTS is just 1/2 (William Hill) and combining that with over 2.5 goals only boosts the odds to 3/4 at Coral. Leicester City have been flaky of late but Saturday's 2-1 win over fifth-placed West Brom was massive and I fancy them to get the job done again with home advantage at 23/20 (QuinnBet).
Wth both teams going for it, we should see a lot of corners and over 11.5 flag kicks pays 11/8 with SkyBet.
Lazio v Juventus: Top Betting Tips
Juventus are in the box seat for a place in the Coppa Italia Final as they defend a 2-0 lead against Lazio heading to Rome for tonight's semi-final second leg.
Lazio followed up that first-leg loss with a derby defeat to Roma but have picked up in their last two games with wins over Salernitana and Genoa.
Juve's last two games have been stalemates and they conceded twice last time out at Cagliari, giving Lazio hope as they bid to pull off a comeback.
We should see goals as Lazio go for it and combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays 13/8 with Bet365.

After listing a number of potential singles yesterday from all over the place I’ve gone for a change and opted on a match in England. It’s not often I go for these markets but looking at stats I feel the value here was to difficult to resist.
Heading to league 2 where an out of form barrow host an in form Bradford.
H2hs first and they are rather limited. The 2 sides have met 8 times in total. 6 times have seen btts with 5 of those seeing over 2.5mgls.
Recent form for the home side isn’t great. This month they have drawn once and lost 4 times. 3 of those games saw btts and 3 saw o2.5.
Bradford haven’t lost this month. Drawing one and winning their last 3. Their last 2 have seen btts+o2.5mgls.
With the 2 fairly evenly matched I’m expecting a close but open game that should produce goals.
Btts+o2.5@11/8 is just too good to ignore so will take that as my single
Good luck all
Will also be on al hilal-al ain btts+o2.5
No big write up but both teams see this a lot more often than not and the reverse fixture last week ended 4-2
Btts+o2.5 @11/10 is priced very reasonably I think

Should be plenty of cards.
Bit of a punt but there’s sure to be goals in this game with the cannon fodder of the league away from home.
Eastern Suburbs v Mitchelton 10:30am
Michelton have lost 7 of 7 and conceded 21 in the last 4. Looking back to last season they were getting smashed regularly too,they conceded 34 goals in their last 7 games of the season.
Haven’t played each other since 2019 but Suburbs have 11 wins,1 draw and 2 losses in 14. The last 3 have finished 3-0,5-0,5-1
Eastern Suburbs sit 3rd despite playing their first 6 games away from home,they should win comfortably today. Hopefully Michelton can add to the goals tally with a consolation or 2. They lost 4-2,5-2 & 7-1 in 3 of their last 4

PREMIER LEAGUE DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE 1PM
Tried finding some value in these matches as they usually are quite good for goals bookies are scheming massively again on these markets goals haven’t gone up from a year ago they average around the same yet somehow your average over 2.5 has gone from 1/2 to 1/4 and 3.5 from 1/1 to 1/2, i wont personally be backing goals unless I can het some in play value but paddy power are offering goal each half at a skinny price but still just enough to take a shot at…
GOAL IN EACH HALF 6 FOLD (1PM-2PM KO’S) 7/2 NB
Prices for goals are getting absolutely shocking mate ,
So bad Deano there’s not even any justification for it to the extent they are shortening them.
Lost by one 2nd half goal 😒. Two went under 2.5 there prices for over 2.5 were 1/5 and 2/7 let that sink in
They just don’t want to part with cash lads, simple as that.
