Football accumulator tips for Sunday October 23: Arsenal can help land 5-1 acca

It's a busy day of Premier League action on Sunday with five top-flight encounters as leaders Arsenal look to maintain their excellent form with a win at Southampton.

There are plenty of intriguing game across Europe too and we've picked out a four-team acca involving matches from across the day, which pays more than 5-1 with a variety of bookmakers.

All bets must be placed by 2pm on Sunday.

Racing Post football expert Ian Wilkerson has picked:

Arsenal to beat Southampton

Union Berlin to beat Bochum

Villarreal to beat Almeria

Barcelona to beat Athletic Bilbao

Southampton v Arsenal

Southampton kept their first clean sheet of the season in the midweek win at Bournemouth but this is a tough assignment against Premier League leaders Arsenal, who have conceded in just one of their five league away games this term

Bochum v Union Berlin

Bochum have lost eight of their ten Bundesliga matches this season and that does not bode well for a visit from the league leaders, who have kept five consecutive clean sheets and beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 last week.

Villarreal v Almeria

Almeria have taken just one point from five away games since promotion to La Liga, so they look up against it at Villarreal where the Yellow Submarine have lost just one of their last 15.

Barcelona v Athletic Bilbao

Barcelona bounced back well from a 3-1 loss against Real Madrid by beating Villarreal 3-0 and they should have too much for Athletic Bilbao, who have taken just one point from their last three La Liga games.
