At the time of writing at least, Ole is still at the wheel as Manchester United travel to Spurs on Saturday evening.
With the 5-0 Liverpool humiliation fresh in the memory, all eyes are on the United team, both the selection and how they react on the pitch.

It says everything about how average Spurs have been this season that despite United’s recent form, conceding 11 goals in the past three games and without a win since the middle of September, the visitors enter this game as favourites.
United are 7/5 to take the three points, with Spurs 2/1 and the draw 13/5. Remember, Spreadex are industry best price on the Premier League.

Son Heung-Min scored home and away against United last season, and facing a side who haven’t kept a clean sheet since August, will fancy his chances of continuing that run. He is 7/1 to be first goal scorer, with Harry Kane, who has netted only once in his eight Premier League games, 23/5. Cristiano Ronaldo is 4/1 favourite despite not having scored in his last four Premier League games.

With United’s tendency to concede goals in mind, the Spurs Goals spread of 1.25-1.45 may interest buyers, and if they’re as open as last week, the Tottenham Goal Rush spread if 13-16. Goal Rush markets award points per goal, 10 for 1 goal, 20 for 2, 33 for 3, 50 for 4, 70 for 5 and 100 for 6 or more.

It’s 14/1 United repeat last season’s 3-1 win, and 80/1 they repeat last weekend’s 5-0 defeat. If United have had the week from hell, Liverpool have been loving life after their huge win at Old Trafford. Jurgen Klopp rested his big names for the EFL Cup game at Preston and still breezed into the last 8, meaning the Premier League’s only unbeaten team should be fresh as they welcome Brighton to Anfield.

Unsurprisingly, given he’s scored in nine straight games, including a hat-trick last week at Old Trafford, Mo Salah is favourite to get the first goal at 13/5. Liverpool are red hot favourites – it’s 1/4 for the home win and only 16/1 they win 5-0 for the 2nd week in a row – with the Seagulls, only three places behind the Reds in the Premier League table in 5th but on a run of 4 games without a win, 12/1 for the away win. Liverpool Total Goal Minutes is set at 126-136, while Liverpool’s Goal Rush spread is 30-33.

Managerless moneybags club Newcastle are 17/2 to beat leaders Chelsea at St James’s Park, with Thomas Tuchel’s team 2/5 to pick up another three points. The Blues won both games between these two teams 2-0 last season, and it’s 11/2 for a third 2-0 in a row. Callum Wilson opened the scoring in the 2nd minute of Newcastle’s last home game against Spurs, and he has 4 goals in the 5 games he’s played this season. He’s 17/2 to get the first goal here, while defender Ben Chilwell, who has scored in each of the last three Premier League games, 18/1.

Mason Mount, who scored a hat-trick in last week’s 7-0 demolition of Norwich, has a Player Goal Minutes spread of 18-21 and Super Mega Minutes (which doubles the minutes of a 2nd goal and trebles the minutes of a 3rd) spread of 28-33. Last weekend Mount’s SMM settled at 448.

Manchester City welcome Patrick Vieira back to the Etihad as they look for three points against his Crystal Palace side.
Palace have won one, drawn one, lost one here in the past three years, and look to have their best team in years under Vieira, yet are still 18/1 for the win.

Punters looking to get with the Eagles could buy Palace Total Goal Minutes at 26-34, though City have only conceded 4 goals in their 9 games. City are 1/6 to pick up the three points, with Phil Foden, who scored twice in last week’s dominant 4-1 win at Brighton, 5/1 to grab the first goal.

Spreadex-sponsored Fulham are involved in the game of the day in the Championship against West Bromwich Albion. With unbeaten Bournemouth five points clear the top, it already feels like these two, separated by one point in 2nd and 3rd places, are battling it out for the one other automatic promotion place.

The Cottagers are Evens favourites, with West Brom 14/5, but given 5 of the last 6 games between these two sides have finished level, there may be more interest in the 5/2 the draw.

Cheltenham may be six months away, but for those horses with designs on the Cheltenham Gold Cup, or the King George on Boxing Day for that matter, Saturday’s Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby could mark their seasonal debut
Cyrname won this race a year ago in impressive fashion and is 5/4 favourite (no spreadex price yet) to repeat that success.

It’s not been a great 12 months for the Paul Nicholls trained 9-year-old, famed for ending Altior’s 19-race winning run in 2019 - since last year’s victory, Cyrname has been pulled up in the King George and again at Ascot.

The Autumn internationals get underway with a clash between the champions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as Wales face New Zealand in Cardiff.

Without 20 players due to injury and English club’s refusing to release players for a game being held outside World Rugby’s international window, the Six Nations champions are 12/1 dogs to upset the All Blacks, who are 1/50 for the win.

New Zealand ran in 16 tries and scored 104 points in their recent warm up win against the USA, and in that kind of form, there may be some juice in the Superiority spread of 27-30. Wales are 10/11 with a +23.5 point start, New Zealand -23.5 are 4/5.

In the Gallagher Premiership, it’s 4th against 1st as Northampton Saints welcome Leicester Tigers to Franklin’s Gardens.
Leicester have won all six of their games this season, and are 7/10 favourites to keep up their 100% record. Northampton who have only lost once themselves – a 26-20 defeat at Wasps – are 7/5 to inflict a first defeat on the visitors.

The Tigers are 10/3 2nd favourites to top the regular season table and 11/2 3rd favourites to win the Grand Final. Saracens are 8/11 and 11/8 favourites for each.
