The Man Utd clean sheet looks a great bet
Fulham have scored in three straight away games but having failed to net on their last three visits to Old Trafford, during which they conceded eight, and fired blanks in five of their eight trips to fellow top-half clubs, the Manchester United clean sheet appears very generously priced at [2.14].
At the very least, it looks like an outstanding back-to-lay opportunity as the Premier League leaders haven't conceded a first-half goal in a domestic home tie all season, a quite astounding feat having already participated in 19. So if you lump on now, there should be a chance to trade out at half-time.
The other price that jumps out in the 3pm kick-offs is the massive [2.22] on the Red Devils' potential FA Cup Final opponents winning at home to West Ham. The Irons have more to play for and are in greater need of the points, however their dire record against Owen Coyle's team can't be ignored.
The east Londoners have failed to win at the Reebok Stadium in ten attempts, losing eight, being beaten in another after extra time in the Carling Cup and claiming just one draw, in an FA Cup clash. Their recent form against the Trotters is worse than ever too, suffering seven successive defeats.
Another match to monitor with interest on Saturday afternoon is Tottenham and Stoke's collision at White Hart Lane, in which the out-of-form Lilywhites will be attempting to end an uncharacteristic four-game scoreless streak against a Stoke side that stunned them 1-0 there last season.
The Potters have lost each of their last five away Premier League encounters to nil yet will take heart from both Spurs' lack of momentum and the fact that Blackburn halted a similar slide at Arsenal last week. The hosts are still [1.77] favourites though, with under 2.5 goals an intriguing [1.85].
Got any wagers lined up for tomorrow's games? If so, share them below...

Spot on Methusaleh! I think the correct score double with Chelsea and Fulham could be a nice little earner.
