This will be a different test again this weekend against a Luton side who are potentially underrated this season.

It has the feeling of a draw to me and a 1-1 draw at 6/1 has every chance. Scott Sinclair is looking in fine form and you would have to fancy him to score first here at 9/1.

At first glance it looks a tricky weekend for punters, as it normally does, though even more so in this strange season!

The west Midlands derby at Molineux sees Aston Villa head to Wolves for an early Christmas present for the fans!

The bookies have it down as a tight one, with a Wolves win being priced up at around the 5/4 mark, which I feel is quite generous. Villa have lost four out of their last five and they could struggle to get anything here!

Another derby for the second leg of the treble is the Manchester one!

United have gone from unpredictable to just pretty poor in general now under Solskjaer and it must pain their fans to see City odds on all the time at Old Trafford, though I still feel they are worth backing at 8/11!

It would be nice to have it landed on Saturday and Chelsea away at Everton are very tempting.

The Toffees have struggled to keep up their early season pace, with injuries and poor results halting their progress.

Chelsea meanwhile have shown their ruthless side and at 4/5, they have every chance of leaving Goodison with all three points. It’s a tasty weekend for racing fans with Cheltenham bringing the bulk of the action.

The Unibet International Hurdle (3:00) looks an interesting race on paper with up and coming Goshen the worth y favourite.

He doesn’t come without complications though and SCEAU ROYAL could be overpriced at around 7/1, certainly looking like a solid each way bet!

Have a great weekend folks, keep safe and keep your betting fun!
