Read the full terms and conditions for each offer below.

Norwich v Leeds

Leeds won three of four Championship games before the international break and their resurgence looks bad news for Norwich, who have taken just four points from the last five fixtures.

Middlesbrough v Birmingham

Wayne Rooney will be eager to get off to a strong start in the Birmingham dugout but his team could be outclassed by Middlesbrough, who are on a five-match winning streak.

Watford v Sheffield Wednesday

Watford stopped the rot with a 1-1 draw at Cardiff a fortnight ago and they should collect maximum points against winless Sheffield Wednesday, who are propping up the table.

Mansfield v Forest Green

League Two highflyers Mansfield are unbeaten in 18 matches in all competitions and they should be far strong for Forest Green, who have lost six of their last seven league games.
