Read the full terms and conditions for each offer below.

Burnley v Aston Villa

Burnley were outclassed in their opening Premier League game against Manchester City and they look up against it again after Villa posted comprehensive wins over Everton and Hibs in the last week.

Sheffield United v Manchester City

Man City have conceded in just one of their last eight games against Sheffield United and the Premier League champions should enjoy a comfortable afternoon against the promoted Blades.

Newcastle v Liverpool

Both of these two should be in the thick of the action as they aim for a Champions League spot and with the Magpies having beaten Villa 5-1 in their last home game and Liverpool possessing attacking riches, both teams should find the net.

Lazio v Genoa

Genoa were thumped 4-1 at home by Fiorentina last week and will not relish a trip to Lazio, who finished second in Serie A last week and need to pick themselves up from a surprise defeat at Lecce.
