Another busy Saturday rockets into action at lunchtime with a Premier League title clash at Stamford Bridge between big hitters Chelsea and Manchester City.

Bets to be placed by 3pm

Fulham to beat Bristol City

Sheffield United to beat Derby

Plymouth to beat Doncaster

Rotherham to beat Crewe

Bristol City have not won at Ashton Gate in 14 attempts and face a tough task at home to Championship highflyers Fulham while an improving Sheffield United, who have taken seven points from their last three matches, can pile the misery on Derby.

Plymouth's unbeaten home record in League One can be extended by a victory over poor travellers Doncaster while Rotherham should silence struggling Crewe, who have one point from five road trips.
