Ollie Watkins has scored 13 Premier League goals this season

It's a 13/114.00 Daily Acca for Paul Robinson this Saturday afternoon, with his five selections coming from 3pm Kick-offs in the Premier League, Championship and League One.

  • Forest to come up short at Villa Park

  • Everton to head back north empty-handed

  • Ipswich to keep pushing for automatic promotion


Leg 1 Aston Villa (90mins) @ 4/91.44 (15:00)

Aston Villa had been formidable at home under Unai Emery, but they return to Villa Park on Saturday having lost their last three there across all competitions.

This presents a good opportunity to get back on track though, as Nottingham Forest aren't on the same level as Newcastle, Chelsea and Man United - despite all three having had their own troubles this term.

Nuno Espírito Santo has certainly improved Forest's results, but they needed extra time to win at Blackpool in the FA Cup, and since then they have failed to win at Brentford, Bristol City and Bournemouth.


Leg 2 Brighton (90mins) @ 8/111.73 (15:00)

Brighton have been a bit of an unlucky team for me on the tipping front, but surely they are going to be a pretty safe bet to beat Everton.

The facts are clear - the Toffees don't score many goals and the Seagulls score plenty. The hosts have notched 26 in a dozen home game this term, while the visitors have scored just 13 in their 12 on the road.

Sean Dyche's men are winless in five in all competitions, and it's just one point from the last 12 available away from home. Brighton, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 10 at the Amex in the Premier League - winning five and drawing five


Leg 3 Ipswich (90mins) @ 4/91.44 (15:00)

Ipswich have returned to form in recent outings, winning their last three games - scoring 10 goals in the process. Their automatic promotion bid is still alive, and with Southampton losing twice recently, and Leeds having to tackle Leicester in this round of fixtures, surely they won't slip-up at home to Birmingham.

The Blues have won their last two, but Tony Mowbray has since stepped away for a period of time due to illness, and that could seriously derail any momentum he has built up since taking over as manager.


Leg 4 QPR (90mins) @ 8/151.53 (15:00)

I was slightly hesitant to include QPR at such a short price, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt it was actually a shade generous.

Rotherham are their opponents on Saturday afternoon, with the visitors 10 points adrift at the bottom of the table. Leam Richardson has won just one of his 14 games in charge - losing 10 - and it's five defeats on the bounce ahead of this trip to Loftus Road.

Rangers are in better form, despite being third from bottom, as it's just one loss in six for them, and they won three times during that period. Last weekend they won at Bristol City, and they can add another three points here.


Leg 5 Burton (90mins) @ 6/42.50 (15:00)

Burton are the only team I am including that are odds-against in this Saturday's Daily Acca, but I do like their chances of beating Northampton at the Pirelli Stadium.

Martin Paterson is new in the dugout, with Burton being his first managerial job. He has won three of his six matches in charge, to date, and that includes a pair of good away victories on his team's last two outings.

Back on home turf I can see them keeping that momentum going against a Northampton side that have taken just one point from the last nine available on their travels.

Back Aston Villa, Brighton, Ipswich, QPR & Burton all to Win @ around 14.013/1

Acca Wreckers

The Betfair Sportsbook have been offering more free bets this weekend, but I wouldn't touch Watford with free money, let alone my own money at odds of 5/61.84 to beat Huddersfield.

The Hornets did win last week, but a narrow 0-1 victory at Rotherham is nothing to shout about, and prior to that it had been four straight defeats. They are winless in seven at Vicarage Road in the league - losing on five occasions - and the Terriers have avoided defeat in five of their last eight

Arsenal have been in great form domestically since they returned from the winter break, but they fell to defeat in Porto during the week, and are a bit short at 3/101.30 to beat Newcastle on Saturday night.

Eddie Howe's men were not involved in midweek action, so they should be more rested than their opponents, and they are currently five unbeaten in all competitions. Their away form has improved too - winning their last four in a row.
