SPORTS BETTING: Leeds should make Southampton suffer

LEEDS UNITED, who have made a solid enough start to the season, should make short work of struggling Southampton in their Premiership game at Elland Road tomorrow night.

The Division One champions Nottingham Forest, who have made a bright start to their Premiership campaign, are fancied to contain the out-of- form Everton, who look set for another difficult season.

On Wednesday, Aston Villa, who impressed at Sheffield Wednesday, should overwhelm Newcastle, who caved in tamely at home to Liverpool recently, at Villa Park.

The encounter between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge seems destined to end in a draw. It would also come as no surprise to see mid-table types Derby and Sheffield Wednesday fight out a draw at Pride Park and old rivals Leicester and Middlesbrough may also draw at Filbert Street.

Liverpool, fancied in this neck of the woods at 7-1 to win the title when the season started, should be too strong for Coventry City at Anfield, while Manchester United should bring Charlton down to earth at Old Trafford.

Blackburn can capitalise on Spurs' problems, while the game between the West Ham and Wimbledon at Upton Park could be another draw.
