Tom Allen got it right with a tip to lay Fulham on Saturday. Sunderland helped us cash in by prolonging their impressive start to the season with a 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage


A big relief to wave goodbye to the recent round of international fixtures where late goals proved very costly. That said, this weekend's Premier League games don't look particularly punter-friendly and value appears thin on the ground.

I expect the 'Big Four' to all record victories, Chelsea are the only one of the esteemed quartet to play away from home but they should have no problems at the Riverside against Middlesbrough, and my focus of attention is on two sides in the lower reaches of the league table.
