POOL BACK TO THEIR BEST

At odds of a little better than Evens I wouldn’t be racing to back the Seagulls here and in the battle of the birds, the 14-5 around about the Canaries is big enough to tempt me into a little action.

Burnley are the team without a win w ho have the least hope of getting off the mark as they must go to the Etihad to face Manchester City.

City look comfortable at the moment without having hit their best football, but they look pretty well unbeatable at home against the lower-ranked side, of which Burnley are certainly one.

I will go with a couple of correct score bets in this one. A 4-0 win for City can be had at odds of 17-2, while with VAR about it pays to cover a lone goal for the Clarets and 4-1 can be had at 14-1.

The real eye-catching game of the 3pm ones is Leicester at home to Manchester United.

Brendan Rodgers was touted with Newcastle earlier this week but if the Foxes don’t hit some form he may be looking for any job he evening e slot at home and I like these evening kkc kick-offs for the possibility of an upset, especially when the darkness descends.

A draw here is not out of the question at all wws

It’s amount to anything while they still have grey nearly nine years since they won it... seats at St James’ Park. Whose scared of that? They need to get black seats in immediately, much more atmospheric.

I always give the NFL a few weeks to bed in before getting involved but I’ll have a couple of interest bets on this weekend’s games.

Indianapolis and Houston is not a battle of the world beaters so it is the Texas men I am backing to defy odds of 7-2 to get a win tomorrow evening.

Washington Football Team fall into the same category and they are overmatched as they take on a decent Kansas City Chiefs. I am taking the 10-11 for the Chiefs to win at -6.5 on the point spread, which is the handicap to you and me.

Funk

That said on balance I am going to side with United here. Leicester don’t seem to have the combination right at the moment and floundering in Europe just adds to the funk.

At 11-10, United are backable to leave the Kind Power with the three points.

Brentford’s bubble is yet to burst and they will fancy their chances in a local derby with Chelsea that has not been played in league football since 1947.

They’ve met four times in the FA Cup since but this is a big day for the Bees.

And they are getting used to the Saturday
