Football

After the Premier League kicked-off last weekend, Spain's La Liga and Germany's Bundesliga both begin this weekend and you can see our Season Points and fixed odds outright prices for both leagues now.

Looking at this weekend's domestic top flight action, two of the biggest games of the weekend see Everton host Arsenal on Saturday tea time and Liverpool travel to Man City on Monday night.

Our traders can't pick between the Toffees and Gunners and have the spread betting Supremacy price as ‘choice' -0.1 – 0.1. However for the Etihad clash our Supremacy price is City/Liverpool 0.6 – 0.8.

Before those games we'll be in-play on Tottenham's trip to Cyprus to face AEL in the Europa League play-off first leg today (Thursday). We have Spurs 2/5 for the win, the draw 10/3 and AEL 13/2.

Looking at the rest of the Premier League matches, Saturday's other games feature: Villa/Newcastle 0 – 0.2, Palace/West Ham 0.1 – 0.3, Chelsea/Leicester 1.95 – 2.15, Southampton/West Brom 0.55 – 0.75 and Swansea/Burnley 0.8 – 1.

Sunday's matches feature Hull/Stoke 0.05 – 0.25 and Tottenham/QPR 1.05 – 1.25 at 1.30pm before Manchester United aim to put their poor start to the season against Swansea behind them when they take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light at 4pm.

United are 4/6 for the win, Sunderland are 4/1 and the draw is 14/5.

Horse Racing

It's day two of the four day Ebor Festival from York today, with the big race of the day the Darley Yorkshire Oaks at 3.40pm featuring unbeaten filly Taghrooda, the 4/1 joint favourite for the Arc in October.

The Investec Oaks and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner is aiming to make it five wins from five against a field that includes Tapestry, Venus de Milo, Tasaday, Volume, Talent and Lustrous.

Taghrooda is the short-price odds-on favourite, but if you don't see value in that bet, why not have a look at our spread betting Match Bets to try and predict how many lengths you think Taghrooda may win by?

Don't forget that in addition to our each-way and accumulators, you can also place forecast and tricast fixed odds bets on horse racing with Spreadex. Click the following link to find out more on forecast and tricast betting.

The US Open starts next week and defending champion Rafael Nadal will not be defending his title after withdrawing with a wrist injury.

This leaves Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic as our outright favourite at 5/4 but Roger Federer has also shortened to 100/30.

Andy Murray is 9/2, Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka 14/1 and Grigor Dimitrov 16/1. In the womens' competition, Serena Williams is the 6/4 favourite ahead of Maria Sharapova at 6/1, Simona Halep at 7/1 and Petra Kvitova at 10/1.

Cricket

After a revitalised England sealed a 3-1 series win over India with victory by an innings and 244 runs in the fifth Test, Alastair Cook's side will be looking to continue their form in the five match one day series which starts at Bristol on Monday.

We have England 4/6 to win the series with India 6/5. Our spread betting Series Index, which awards the sides 10 points per match won and 25 points for winning the series, has England on 41 – 44 and India on 31 – 34.

Before the first ODI, we'll have in-play fixed odds and spread betting on the Natwest T20 Blast Finals Day on Saturday when Surrey play Warwickshire and Hampshire face Lancashire in the semi-finals at Edgbaston before the winners then go head-to-head later that night.

Surrey are the overall 15/8 favourites followed by Hampshire on 9/4, then Lancashire at 3/1 and Warwickshire at 4/1.

Rory McIlroy has set the golfing world alight after following his Open Championship victory last month. Looking at our Ryder Cup prices for next month, Rory's heroics seem to have moved the market alone with Europe now 8/13 favourites from 5/6 and USA out to 7/4 from 6/5. The tie remains 9/1. 

This week's action comes from the Barclays, the Czech Masters, the Boeing Classic andthe Canadian Pacific Open.
