Brighton v Liverpool

BT Sport 1, 12.30pm Saturday

Brighton have suffered four straight defeats and their poor form suggests Liverpool should enjoy their trip to the Sussex coast. Splitting stakes between a 1-0 and 2-0 away win could prove profitable, given five of the Seagulls' eight league defeats this season have been by one of those two scorelines.

Sky Sports Main Event & Premier League, 5.30pm Saturday

Tottenham have won four of their last six Premier League away games and can move into the top five by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are playing poorly and are seven points worse off than they were at this stage of last season.

Bet of the day

Burton to beat Fleetwood 3pm Saturday

Burton have gone through a rough patch in recent weeks but they should be too strong for Fleetwood, who are perched just one point above the drop zone. The Cod Army have gone ten games without a win and the injuries are piling up, which won't help their cause.
