If a team is unbeaten at home all season and is playing at home to a side without a win in 11 league games, you would expect the side unbeaten at home to be odds-on.
Therefore Southampton represent fantastic value to continue their excellant form at St. Mary's Stadium with victory over a desparate Liverpool side.
Aston Villa versus Tottenham looks set to end in a draw. This is a fixture that has traditionally been a low scoring affair at Villa Park.
Gillingham have lost striker Marlon King to a knee injury, news that will affect the chances of the "Gills" against Leicester at Priestfield Stadium on Saturday. The Gills are in good form, unbeaten in seven games in all competitions with King scoring six goals. Without him, they won't pose anything like the same threat to an organised Leicester outfit.
The foxes have won their last three away league games and can extend that sequence to four.
Scunthrope travel to Bristol Rovers who are without a win in eight home games. Like Leicester, Scunthrope go into this game on the back of three consecutive away wins and they can maintain their push for automatic promotion with victory at the Memorial Stadium.
Luton have not played since New Years Day and the break has allowed six regulars to return from injury. The Hatters have been one of the best travellers in the second division this season.
Barnsley have lost five of their last six league games and recent defeats at home to relagation rivals Mansfield and Northampton suggest the future could be very bleak indeed for the Tykes.
In Scotland, St. Johnstone should be backed to beat Clyde while Stenhousemuir can be followed to get the better of Hamilton.
Recommended bets;
1.5pts SOUTHAMPTON (17/10)
1pt ASTON VILLA to draw (12/5)
1.5pts LEICESTER CITY (11/8)
1pt SCUNTHROPE (13/10)
1pt LUTON TOWN (13/8)
1.5pts ST. JOHNSTONE (11/10)
1.5pts STENHOUSEMUIR (11/10)
