Alaves vs Barcelona (BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE) 19/20 – In a repeat of last season’s Copa del Rey final, Alaves and Barcelona square off in what should be a cracking encounter. The hosts were quite impressive at the Mendizorrotza Stadium last term, claiming seven wins and eight draws in their 19 matches. They’ll seek revenge after suffering a 3-1 defeat against Barca in the Copa del Rey final and losing this fixture 6-0 last season. Barcelona, who many expected to crumble after losing Neymar and having Luis Suarez out through injury, found enough firepower to beat Real Betis 2-0 at the Nou Camp. Gerard Deulofeu, who is Neymar’s replacement for the time being, produced a solid display, creating both goals. Back Both Teams to Score here at 19/20.
Watford vs Brighton (HOME WIN) 19/20 – Watford welcome newcomers Brighton to Vicarage Road on Saturday. Marco Silva’s side have looked very impressive in their opening two matches. After earning a 3-3 draw at home to Liverpool, the Hornets secured a 2-0 win at Bournemouth. The Seagulls have had a difficult start to life in the top flight, suffering backto-back defeats against Manchester City and Leicester City, both by 2-0 scorelines. Watford are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Brighton, winning three times. The home win is tipped at 19/20.
Espanyol vs Leganes (HOME WIN) 11/10 – Espanyol claimed a commendable 1-1 stalemate at Sevilla to kick-start their season off in the right direction. Leganes snatched a 1-0 victory after goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar saved Manuel Garcia’s penalty kick in the opening 17 minutes, with Gabriel netting the game’s only goal. These sides have only met each other twice, with Espanyol winning 3-0 and 1-0 last season. Despite Leganes producing a decent display last weekend, Espanyol should be too good for them. Back the hosts at 11/10!

West Brom vs Stoke City (DRAW) 2/1 – West Brom and Stoke City will go head to head at the Hawthorns on Sunday. Tony Pulis’ men have won their opening two matches, beating Bournemouth and Burnley by 1-0 scorelines. The Potters succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at Everton in their opening game, but Mark Hughes’ side bounced back in front of their fans by clinching a 1-0 victory over Arsenal. West Brom are unbeaten in their last five matches against Stoke with four wins, including three in a row at the Hawthorns. However, the Potters will be high on confidence and are tipped to earn a point.

Fairview Friday 25 August 2017 – Race 6 No 4 Vous Et Var (15-10) – Trained by Alan Greeff and ridden by Greg Cheyne. The son of Var is in top form and carries a very handy mass of 54.5kg. He has the form to take a power of beating.
Manchester United vs Leicester City (HOME WIN) 3/10 –
Manchester United will entertain Leicester City in Saturday’s final match in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho’s side have begun the campaign in rampant fashion, beating both West Ham and Swansea by 4-0 scorelines. Craig Shakespeare’s men were impressive away to Arsenal in their season opener, despite losing 4-3, and were impressive once again in their 2-0 victory over Brighton last weekend. However, Shakespeare will be sweating on the fitness of Jamie Vardy who remains a doubt with an ankle injury. United look unstoppable at the moment and they’re tipped to claim a fourth straight victory over the Foxes.
