Weekend betting: Preston North End backed to beat the Blues!
and live on Freeview channel 276
I fancy Preston North End to go and get at Birmingham from the off this weekend.
And at 11/4 they look a big price for the three points, whilst a 2-1 away win at 12/1, and Ben Whiteman to score first at 14/1, are all tempting.

Manchester United are back in action at Old Trafford after getting dumped out of the League Cup by West Ham in midweek.
Whilst they are a club that tend to love winning any trophy, I can’t see them being too upset about it and will undoubtedly be itching to get back to business in the league.
I fancy them to see off an Aston Villa side that have conceded a few from set-pieces this season and at 4/11 the Red Devils just about look value for the accas.

At 3/5 I think the Toffees are worthy of going on the list.
To round off the weekend treble I will have to go with Leeds at home to West Ham.
This looks a great game on paper, no whilst West Ham did rest several players in midweek, I think they could come unstuck here against a Leeds side who will be fired up in front of a packed Elland Road.

It’s a decent card at Newmarket, with the Middle Park Stakes (15:00), where Ismael Mohammed’s ZAIN CLAUDETTE (right) is in fine form and could take all the beating having seen off decent company at Ascot and York this season.
