Bet of the day

Porto to win to nil v Santa Clara 8.15pm Monday

Portuguese league leaders Porto are yet to taste defeat this season, having won 23 of their 27 games, and they should be able to claim three more points at home to Santa Clara. The Dragons are strong defensively and at 5-6 look a good bet to win to nil given the visitors have failed to score in three of their last four.

Prop bet of the day

Crystal Palace v Arsenal Sky Sports Premier League, 8pm Monday

Crystal Palace's Conor Gallagher is a creative talent but he also works tirelessly off the ball and his desire to win possession back sometimes comes at a cost. The Chelsea loanee has picked up nine yellow cards in 29 appearances this season, including cautions in back-to-back Premier League games, and he is 21-10 with bet365 to be booked again.

Best bet
Conor Gallagher to be shown a card

Stat of the day
