Put A Gyok In It

On Saturday, Chris Wilder called Viktor Gyokeres the best player in the division after his winning goal gave Coventry their first win of the season.

With Callum O'Hare and Gustavo Hamer out, Gyokeres is shouldering the responsibility of being Coventry's star man, and looks on top form.

At his best, Gyokeres is devastating at this level. Powerful and skilful, the Swede is brilliant at running in behind, but can also create shots for himself when dribbling at the defence.

Gyokeres will be licking his lips coming up against a Bristol City backline which is struggling defensively, giving up 1.64 goals per game this season and seven in their last three games. The Robins' defenders are partial to a mistake, and Gyokeres is the worst possible opponent, a relentless attacker.

The fact that Bristol City are favourites to win this one, and playing at home, isn't cause for concern. Gyokeres thrives on the break and should have plenty of opportunities to score against a side that have kept one clean sheet in their last six.

Fortune Tella

There are Southampton fans that wish Nathan Tella was getting Premier Legaue minutes. Every Burnley fan is delighted that he isn't.

On loan from Saints, Tella has scored four goals in seven starts for Burnley, playing off the left and looking very dangerous whether dribbling past defenders or picking up good positions in the box.

Tella doesn't stick out on the touchline; when play is developing, he makes dangerous runs into #9 type positions while Jay Rodriguez occupies the centre backs. All four goals this season have come from shots between the two posts, including Saturday's.

Tella is up against a Stoke side that were embarrassed on Sunday, losing 0-4 to Watford. Their defence looked all over the place - a group of players that are either playing out of position, or immobile and ill-suited as a partnership.

Tella comes into this full of confidence and against an opponent that may struggle to contain him. The price of 4.5 for him to make it 5 in 8 games seems more than generous.

Three In A Row For Keinan?

Keinan Davis wasn't match fit when he arrived at Watford on loan from Aston Villa, but in the last two games Hornets fans have seen what those who watched him play for Nottingham Forest last season already knew: a fit Keinan Davis is a huge problem for Championship defences.

His first start came in the game before the international break - he scored.

His next start came on Sunday, post international break - he scored again, as Slaven Bilic began his reign as Watford manager in the best possible way: a resounding, confidence boosting 4-0 win.

He is the complete package - a deadly mixture of skill and power that makes him dangerous both with back to goal and receiving between the lines on the turn. Davis has the size advantage over two of the Swansea centre-backs, Wood and Naughton, which he can use to his advantage.

Another bonus for Davis and Watford was the return from injury of Imran Louza, who came on for half an hour against Stoke and looked magnificent. His creative presence should raise the level of Watford's attack, and Davis will benefit.

Back Keinan Davis to score anytime at 3.1

If you like the sound of those goalscorers, the treble pays more than 40/1.
