Today's best accumulator bets
Bets to be placed by 6pm
Manchester United to beat Fulham
Leeds to beat Southampton
Oxford to beat Blackpool
Lazio to beat Torino
Leeds can follow up their 4-0 win at Burnley with more success on the road at Southampton and relegated Fulham lack the firepower to upset Manchester United.
Oxford ended the League One regular season with six wins in their last seven games and can beat Blackpool before Torino, beaten 7-0 and 4-1 in their last two outings, face a tough test at Lazio. The fourfold pays just under 16-1 with Hills.
