Saturday's Daily Acca has been boosted to 11/1 and it features two fixtures from the Premier League and one from the Championship. Here are Paul Robinson's selections:

Saints to pile the pressure on Brendan Rodgers

Bet 1: Back Southampton to Win or Draw @ 10/11 - KO 15:00 BST

Leicester and Southampton have taken just one point from their opening two fixtures, and the common theme has been that they have conceded far too many goals.

The pair of them have shipped six apiece, and while they have both had tough away trips to North London, they would still have expected better.

I genuinely fear for the Foxes this term, and there are rumours that best defender, Wesley Fofana, won't be available this afternoon, amidst continued interest from Chelsea.

Ralph Hasenhüttl's visitors have the quality to do some serious damage to this Leicester defence, and while they are highly unlikely to keep a clean sheet of their own, I fancy them to avoid defeat at the King Power.

New-look Forest to get a result on Merseyside

Bet 2: Back Nottingham Forest to Win or Draw @ 10/11 - KO 15:00 BST

Frank Lampard will probably be looking across the dugout at Steve Cooper with a tinge of jealousy at Goodison Park today, as Cooper has added yet more quality to his squad this week, while Lampard is stuck with a depleted set of players.

There is absolutely no way I can consider backing the Toffees at odds-on at the moment, even though they are at home against newly promoted opposition.

They offered little in the attacking third in defeats to Chelsea and Aston Villa, and it's hard to see them scoring more than one goal at best.

The visitors put a 2-0 loss at St James' Park behind them by beating West Ham 1-0 last Sunday, and they can certainly avoid defeat here.

Tight match expected at Deepdale

Bet 3: Back The Draw in Preston v Watford @ 21/10 - KO 15:00 BST

Two unbeaten teams meet in the Championship today, and I can see the initial part of that statement still being true by 5pm.

Preston are the only side not to concede a goal this season, but with just one goal of their own, they are only in seventh with six points.

The Hornets have netted four and conceded two across their four outings, and that has enabled them to collect eight points from a possible 12.

A point wouldn't be the worst result for either side at Deepdale, and with goals set to be at a premium, it's a likely outcome.
