The Acca Scout from oddschecker finds value bets for today's football fixtures in the Premier League, including team news, tips & the best of the boosts!
11:12 Sunday
Toney to justify England call-up
Ivan Toney has started the season in fine form. He has scored five goals so far this season and has earned himself a call up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for their upcoming fixtures.
William Hill are offering a price of 7/1 boosted from 5/1 for Ivan Toney to score first vs Arsenal today.
10:59 Sunday
Arsenal face a battle to reclaim top spot
George Gamble shares his tips and predictions for Arsenal’s visit to the Community Stadium. Read them HERE.
Arsenal have been fouled 11 or more times in five of their six league matches this term.
Brentford have hit at least four shots on target in each of their three home league games.
16:10 Saturday
Goals galore once again at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium?
Brendan Rodgers is under serious pressure at the King Power, and he is in desperate need of a result to save his job. Leicester have lost three in a row vs Tottenham with the last three meetings bringing 15 goals. Harry Kane scored in all three of those matches and he is as short as 10/11 to do the same today.
Their last three meetings have had over 3.5 goals in each and we expect this trend to continue as Rodgers looks for a result. Tottenham to win and over 3.5 goals in today’s game is a best price 12/5.
10:10 Saturday
Halaand to continue hot form in game week seven
Erling Halaand has started the season on hot form scoring 10 goals in his opening six games. He visits Molineux this afternoon to face a Wolves team who haven’t lost in their last three outings.
The bookies are backing Halaand to continue his form in week seven and is as short as 8/11 to score today. The big Norwegian has scored a brace three times this year alone with back-to-back hat-tricks against Palace and Forest.
The value today looks to be Halaand to score two or more goals at 3/1 or Halaand to score a hat-trick at a best price of 12/1 (8/1 worst).
16:03 Friday
Kane to inflict more pain upon the Foxes?
Harry Kane has scored more goals against Leicester City than any other side with 19, 17 of which have come in the Premier League. He also scored against Brendan Rodgers' side in both fixtures from last season, something which was pointed out in our Cross Sport Double.
Kane to score first is best price 3/1 (worst priced odds of 12/5), while for him to score anytime you'd find best priced odds of 10/11 (worst price 7/10).
12:20 Friday
Feisty clash at the City Ground incoming?
Nottingham Forest and Fulham face each other in the Premier League for the first time. When they met at the City Ground last season in the Championship, nine cards were dished out in a feisty affair, in which Fulham ran away 4-0 winners. With the potential for a flurry of cards, we've got a cards cheat sheet for the clash at the City Ground tonight.
The visitors have picked up an average of three cards per game in their last three Premier League games, while Forest have the second most yellow cards (18) in the league, just ahead of their opponents Fulham (17). Over 4.5 cards in tonight's game comes at a best priced odds of 23/20 (worst priced 9/10).
Joao Palhinha has been booked in four of his six appearances for Fulham so far.

Best odds - 3/1
Worst odds - 11/10 pic.twitter.com/FWbBa0ABiy
09:28 Friday
Ward-Prowse to pick up customary Villa card
James Ward-Prowse has been booked more times vs Aston Villa (five) than against any other side in his career (across 11 matches). He is a best price 5/1 to receive a card tonight (worst price 23/10).
And if you wanted any more reason to fancy the 27-year-old England man for a card, five opposition central midfielders (Pearson, Billing, Davies, Schlupp & Odegaard) have been booked against Villa so far in the first six matches of the season.
08:13 Friday
Watkins shoots for three in a row against the Saints
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has scored in back-to-back home games vs Southampton. He is 2/1 best price to score anytime tonight (worst price 6/4), but keep an eye on any team news throughout the day as the 26-year-old has reportedly missed training with illness.
15:12 Thursday
Mitro's on fire, will Forest be terrified?
Ahead of Fulham's trip to Nottingham Forest tomorrow night, Mitrovic has scored in each of his last four games in the Premier League, scoring away at both Arsenal and Tottenham. Against a leaky Nottingham Forest side who have conceded the most shots per game in the league, we back the Serbian to continue his scoring run. Mitrovic to score anytime is best priced at 6/4 (worst 10/11)
15:01 Thursday
Thursday treble including Manchester United win
Our 12/1 Thursday treble covers action in the Europa League tonight, including a United win away at Sheriff. Click on the image to find out more!
10:34 Thursday
Premier League top foul maker 10/3 for a card
Scott McTominay has committed a Premier League high 15 fouls so far this season (joint with Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara), despite having been substituted in the first two matches. He also has the joint most cards so far (four) with Joao Palhinha and Adam Smith.
With Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag likely to name his strongest XI tonight given the postponement of their weekend clash with Leeds, McTominay is expected to start in midfield. The Scot is a best price 10/3 to receive a card (worst price 23/10).
10:06 Thursday
Or is Dalot the value play at 9/2?
Manchester United right back Diogo Dalot has found himself in the referee's book regularly this season picking up three yellow cards in his last five in all competitions, so far this season he has the second highest tackles per game in United squad and the third highest fouls.
Ten Hag's preferred right back option may well find himself with his hands full against FC Sheriff tonight as he potentially faces up against in-form Nigerian winger, Rasheed Akanbi.
The 23-year-old has become the focal point of much of Sheriff's attacking play with 50% of attacks developing from the left wing. A combination of Akanbi's attacking intent and Dalot's tendency to find himself in the book makes the 9/2 available on the Portuguese full back to be shown a card look like value, especially given he's as short as 5/2 with other bookmakers.
14:18 Wednesday
Wednesday's 12/1 & 5/1 Champions League Accas

Meanwhile, InplayMan is back with a 5/1 both teams to score (BTTS) treble for the same competition.
11:05 Wednesday
Cards galore in Chelsea vs RB Salzburg?
Chelsea and Salzburg are the top two for tackles per game in the Champions League this season with an average of 30 and 29 respectively. Salzburg are the most fouled team in the UCL this season with an average of 18 per game while Chelsea are the fourth highest having been fouled an average of 14 times per game in Europe this season.
Raheem Sterling is Chelsea's most fouled player in the league. It remains to be seen what kind of system new manager Graham Potter will employ but Sterling could well operate in between the lines where Salzburg's Nicolás Capaldo will be keen to break up play.
The central midfielder was shown a card last time out in the Champions League and looks a value pick at 12/5 to pick up another card tonight with odds as short as evens elsewhere.
10:20 Wednesday
Why we're expecting goals at the Etihad
10 of Manchester City’s last 13 games at the Etihad have seen four or more goals scored. Over 3.5 goals against Dortmund tonight is a best price 19/20 (worst price 4/5).
10:09 Wednesday
Erling Halaand to shine against his former side
Erling Halaand has hit the ground running with his new side and is the Premier League top scorer with an incredible 10 goals in six games. The big Norwegian international welcomes his former side, Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad tonight. He scored two against Sevilla in the last Champions League game and he looks set to continue this trend tonight.
Paddy Power are offering a Turbo Power Price of Erling Halaand to score two or more against his former side boosted from 6/4 to 3/1.

Hector Bellerin is in line to start for Barcelona against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, according to this match preview from WhoScored.com. The 27-year-old, who was booked the last time he came up against Sadio Mane during his time at Arsenal (September 2020), is a best price 4/1 to be carded again tonight (worst price 21/10).
09:41 Tuesday
Ajax to continue goalscoring form at Anfield
Ajax have scored at least two goals in eight of their last nine Champions League matches. Added to that, tonight's visitors to Anfield are scoring an average of 3.66 goals per game across all competitions this season. The Acca Scout thinks there's value in over 1.5 goals for Ajax (total away goals market) at a best price of 9/5 (worst 6/4).
15:00 Monday
Tsimikas card value with Robertson out injured
Kostas Tsimikas is set to start at left back in Liverpool's Champions League match against Ajax tomorrow night after Andy Robertson was ruled out with a knee injury. Tsimikas is a best price 5/1 to receive a card (worst price 5/2).

Reasons to back Roma to win against Empoli

The visitors are a best price 13/17 to win tonight (worst 7/10).
11:45 Monday
Osasuna to continue away hold on Almeria?
Osasuna are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Almeria, keeping a clean sheet in the last three away games vs tonight's opponents. The oddschecker team has already included under 1.5 home goals in this 3/1 treble, but might there be value in the away clean sheet (best price 2/1)?)
