Under 2.5 Goals in Inter v Genoa @ 21/202.05 (19:45)
Inter Milan are motoring clear at the top of Serie A, and while they have been banging in goals for fun of late, the Genoa defence will make it tough for them this evening.
The visitors have lost just one of their last 11 matches, and they are five unbeaten on their travels - a run that includes trips to Napoli and Bologna.
They conceded just three times across those five away fixtures, and the hosts have kept seven clean sheets from their last eight at home in the league - only Verona managed a goal against them.
Over 7.5 Arsenal Corners @ 1/12.00 (20:00)
Chris Wilder's return to Sheffield United hasn't managed to spark much, and their chances of survival are pretty much at the slim and none stage.
I am focusing on corners when Arsenal head to Bramall Lane tonight, as I am expecting a deluge of them for Mikel Arteta's men.
The Gunners are averaging 7.6 per 90 minutes in the league this season - the second highest - while the Blades are conceding an average of 7.3 each time - the worst in the division. Even money for eight or more away corners is very generous.

Alaves to Win or Draw @ 8/151.53 (20:00)
Alaves have performed with credit since their promotion from the Segunda Division last season, and they are safely berthed in mid-table, with a 10 point cushion over Cadiz in the final relegation place.
Osasuna are two places and four points better off, and they head into this fixture having taken seven points from their last nine available.
The visitors aren't losing many matches at the moment though, and they are currently three unbeaten. It's just one defeat in their last eight, and on the road it's just three losses from their last 10. They have recently been and got results at Sociedad and Betis, who are both in the top six.
