Premier League football tips and predictions

19:30 - Man City v Fulham: Back City to make Silva suffer again

The Opta Stat:

Fulham boss Marco Silva has lost all 13 of his Premier League games against Manchester City, the most one manager has faced an opponent with a 100% loss rate.

19:30 - Nottm Forest v Wolves: Back 9/1 'to be fouled' treble

Lewis Jones: Whoever lines up at centre-forward for Nottingham Forest, the instruction will be to make it physical. Igor Jesus is averaging 1.79 fouls per 90 this season, which tells you everything about how he operates. Every touch is a contest when Jesus is around.

If Forest decide to introduce Lorenzo Lucca, fresh off scoring off the bench in the defeat at Leeds, the physical profile barely changes. In fact, it intensifies. Lucca averaged a hefty 2.43 fouls per 90 at Udinese last season - he's a towering centre-forward who uses his size enthusiastically and not always to the referees liking.

20:15 - Sunderland v Liverpool: Reeling Reds a lay at odds-against

Dave Tindall: One way of having a pro-Sunderland bet or anti-Liverpool - whichever way you look at it - is the Lead at 10-20-30-60 minutes market. It's a feature of Liverpool's play that they're slow starters. Manchester City didn't ultimately punish them in the first 45 at Anfield but they should have done.

Looking at away games, Liverpool were 2-0 down after 33 minutes against Bournemouth and trailed after 17 minutes against Fulham. They were behind at the break in both. Even in the 4-1 home win over Newcastle, Slot's men were 1-0 down after 36 minutes before Hugo Ekitike levelled after 41.

The hosts have netted inside 35 minutes in three of their last five games so there's scope here to back Sunderland to lead at 30 minutes at a juicy 9/2.

EFL Championship tips and predictions

19:45 - Charlton v Stoke: Back the draw

Jack Critchley: Charlton will probably view Friday's 0-0 draw with QPR as a missed opportunity. The Addicks started strongly, yet they weren't able to break down their fellow Londoners and when you consider their ropey form on the road, they really should be collecting maximum points at the Valley when hosting fellow bottom-half teams. Charlton created three big chances, had five shots on target and an xG of 1.10, yet it wasn't enough to break through.

At the other end of the pitch, they have looked relatively solid and look far more secure since Luke Chambers and Conor Coady arrived. A back three of Kayne Ramsay, Lloyd Jones and Amari Bell seems to be working well and we can expect a similar set-up on Wednesday evening. Only three sides have managed 2+ goals at this ground, including high-flying Middlesbrough and Stoke will have their work cut out to find a way through.

The Potters aren't easy to penetrate. They were hoping to add firepower with Jay Rak-Sakyi and Milan Smit, yet neither of the new arrivals appear to be fully up-to-speed in the second tier just yet. Since securing back-to-back victories, Mark Robins' men have scored just twice in their last five. They've conceded just five goals during that period and the fans aren't getting a lot of value for money when it comes to pure entertainment.
