Manchester City have a lead of one point in the race for the Premier League and will be looking to boost their position against Wolves, while rivals Manchester United face a trip to bottom-of-the-table Norwich.

There is also a full schedule of EFL action and plenty of other games in Europe on a packed Saturday of football.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 3pm

West Brom to beat Reading

Sheffield Wednesday to beat Crewe

Leyton Orient to beat Crawley

Forest Green to beat Oldham

West Brom were impressive in last week's win at Coventry and should have too much for Reading while in League One Sheffield Wednesday look too strong for struggling Crewe.

Complete your four-game acca in League Two where Leyton Orient can beat a Crawley side who have won just one of their last eight games and leaders Forest Green should outclass Oldham.

This acca pays just under 7-1 with bet365.
