Today's best accumulator bets
Bets to be placed by 7.45pm
England to beat Poland
Sweden to beat Greece
Switzerland to beat Northern Ireland
Wales to beat Estonia
England have a firm grip of Group I after five wins from five and they should ensure they don't let it slip against Poland, while Wales also look a strong prospect against Estonia.
Both Sweden and Switzerland had encouraging Euro 2020 campaigns and could be ready to make the jump to the next level, so expect them to beat Greece and Northern Ireland.

England v Poland
ITV, 7.45pm
England have won all five of their World Cup qualifiers to date and have scored 17 goals while conceding just once. Poland may have Robert Lewandowski in their ranks, but they looked toothless at Euro 2020 and it is difficult to see them keeping Gareth Southgate's Three Lions at bay.

Best bet
England -1 on goal handicap
Wales v Estonia
Sky Sports Main Event & S4C, 7.45pm
Wales should have too much for Estonia, particularly if the weekend's hat-trick hero Gareth Bale is flying, but don't expect a thriller in Cardiff. Ten of Wales's last 15 competitive home games have featured fewer than three goals and this one could follow suit.

Best bet
Wales & under 2.5 goals
Northern Ireland v Switzerland
Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm
Northern Ireland have beaten Lithuania and Estonia in the last week but a clash with Euro 2020 quarter-finalists Switzerland is a much tougher proposition. The Swiss held Italy to a goalless draw at the weekend and will be keen to close the gap on the Azzurri, especially as they have two games in hand.

Prop bet of the day
Greece v Sweden Sky Sports red button, 7.45pm
Sweden have not lost in regulation time in any of their last 12 games and will be full of confidence after beating Spain last week. Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak scored a cracker in that game and he can set the ball rolling for Janne Andersson against the Greeks.
Best bet
Alexander Isak to score first
Stat of the day
Northern Ireland v Switzerland Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm
Northern Ireland have scored just four goals in their last eight internationals.
