A tip from the Joker to get your betting day under way...

Twenty years ago, a little scrote on a milk advert didn't know who Accrington Stanley were. The club has been a laughing stock ever since, although they were promoted to the Football League three years ago.

Much of that good work was undone by an ill-conceived (not funny) April Fool's Day joke. Last year, the club posted a story on their website claiming they were planning to rebrand as Lancashire Stanley United. No one laughed, and the League Two side admitted it had received a positive response to the idea. The Joker awaits a final decision.

Tonight, the Stans play at home in a pre-season friendly with Burnley. The hosts have scored 11 times in four friendlies so far, while the visitors have lost 2-1 to Bradford and beaten Morecambe 3-1.

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals at [1.50] in Accrington Stanley v Burnley
