Preview
Leeds's defensive woes are well documented as they have conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season and they face a Tottenham team looking to bounce back after their surprise midweek defeat at Burnley.
Harry Kane's primary contribution to Spurs is obviously his goalscoring ability but he is involved in much of their attacking output.
The England captain has an expected-assists number of 4.1 but has picked up just two assists, perhaps indicating that his teammates' finishing is undermining his creative work.
The 28-year-old laid on 14 goals last season and is fancied for an assist against a weak Leeds backline at 9-2.
In the same game, expect there to be plenty of goalmouth action. Marcelo Bielsa's side have conceded comfortably the most shots on target in the top flight and three of their last four games have seen 11 or more attempts on target. With a wounded Tottenham side looking to bounce back, the same bet is fancied to land here at 6-4.
Chris Wood is yet to open his account for Newcastle but has a good record against promoted sides and faces a Brentford defence who have leaked 20 goals in their last eight games.
Wood has netted nine times in his last 13 appearances against teams that have come up to the top flight and is fancied at 5-2 to get his first goal for the Magpies.
Manchester United face Watford, the team who have committed the most fouls in the league this season. Given that United's opponents are likely to give up free-kicks around the box, it may be worth having a small bet on Alex Telles to score at any time.
Cristiano Ronaldo disappointed once more with his free-kicks against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League whereas Telles is a true dead-ball specialist and, if an opportunity for a left-footed player presents itself, he may well take full advantage.
