Best Premier League bet

Leeds v West Ham 3pm Saturday

West Ham suffered their first defeat of the season last weekend when Mark Noble's injury-time penalty was saved by Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea but the Hammers can hit back against goal-shy Leeds.

David Moyes's men swiftly avenged their Premier League loss to United, winning 1-0 at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup, and they did the double over Leeds last season. The Londoners finished six points and three places above the Yorkshire club, and that gap could be even wider this term.

West Ham should welcome back top scorer Michail Antonio, suspended for the 2-1 loss to United, and they have demonstrated their attacking verve in league wins at Newcastle (4-2) and at home to Leicester (4-1).

That should concern a Leeds side who are winless in five league games this term, conceding 12 goals. The hosts will be without Diego Llorente, Robin Koch and Pascal Struijk while another defender, Luke Ayling, is a major doubt.

Best EFL bet

Leyton Orient v Mansfield 3pm Saturday

Leyton Orient eased to a 3-1 win at Bristol Rovers in League Two last weekend, scoring three times in the first 41 minutes, and they are even more formidable at home.

Orient have won four of their last five matches in all competitions at Brisbane Road to nil and their defensive record is in stark contrast to that of Saturday's visitors Mansfield.

The Stags were third-favourites in the ante-post title betting but are once again disappointing their backers, having conceded 20 times in ten matches in all competitions this season.

They have lost five of their last six league and cup matches, including their last three on the road, and things are unlikely to improve against an Orient side who kick off the weekend in second place in the division.

Best European bet

Sevilla v Espanyol LaLigaTV, 5.30pm Saturday

Sevilla's impressive start in La Liga continued on Wednesday as they scored three times in the first 22 minutes of a 3-1 home win over Valencia.

Another victory at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan looks likely this weekend as they host a limited Espanyol side who failed to score in their first three league matches this term.

Espanyol broke their duck in a 2-1 home defeat to Atletico Madrid before a 2-2 draw with ten-man Real Betis but they needed a penalty to secure a first win of the season in midweek, beating Alaves 1-0.

Sevilla's Jules Kounde seems to have come to terms with the collapse of his proposed summer move to Chelsea. Julen Lopetegui's side have conceded just once from open play in the five matches that Kounde has started alongside Diego Carlos in defence so backing the hosts to win without conceding looks a decent bet on Saturday.

Weekend accumulators

Banker
Forest Green
The free-scoring League Two leaders are a nice price to break down visitors Tranmere, who are solid in defence but have failed to find the net in four away league matches this season.

Blowout
Manchester United
After a Champions League defeat to Young Boys and an unconvincing victory at West Ham, United could be vulnerable against a pacy Aston Villa side who pose a serious threat on the counter.
