Saturday football tips: Liverpool and Chelsea chase key victories

With no top-tier domestic football to enjoy last weekend, punters are treated to eight Premier League matches this Saturday including live contests between Leicester and Chelsea and Liverpool and Arsenal.

There is also plenty of EFL action to get involved in and Lazio's clash with Juventus and a Barcelona derby in La Liga are among the highlights from across Europe.

Blackburn to beat Bristol City

MK Dons to beat Burton

Rotherham to beat Cambridge

Forest Green to beat Hartlepool

Bristol City's struggles at Ashton Gate could be set to continue when they host Blackburn while MK Dons, who are chasing promotion in the third tier, can get the better of out-of-form Burton.

Cambridge lost 4-1 to the Dons last time out and could be out of their depth against Rotherham while League Two leaders Forest Green can beat Hartlepool.
