Tenner On is our writers' weekly football tips competition.
The rules are simple: each writer is given £10 to place any bet(s) they like over the weekend. At the end of the season, the writer with the most profit is crowned the Insider's top tipster.
Blackburn to win, BTTS in Birmingham v Preston and Charlton v Doncaster: £10 at 4/1*
Blackburn look a big price to beat a Sheffield Wednesday side that have been consistently poor on the road this season.
Birmingham and Preston have both been involved in lots of high-scoring matches recently, so I can only see goals there.
The same applies for Charlton and Doncaster, who are both in good form and playing without the pressure of League One standings on Saturday.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Eintracht Frankfurt to win, Young Boys to win or draw and BTTS: £10 at 5/1*
Chelsea should see off Fulham pretty easily on Sunday and I fancy Liverpool to win the Merseyside derby at Anfield, too.
Eintracht Frankfurt have won their last three league games 3-0, 3-0 and 3-1. They should beat a Wolfsburg side that have lost four of six in the Bundesliga.
Basel have been involved in 15 BTTS games out of 15 this season. The visit of Young Boys should be no different, and the away side – who have lost just one of 15 league games this season – should avoid defeat.
Huddersfield to beat Brighton: £10 at 7/5*
Huddersfield are in their best form of the season, with last weekend’s victory at Wolves making it two wins and a draw from their last three games.
I’m not sure how sustainable that is, but I do think they have enough to eke past Brighton this weekend.
Chris Hughton’s side are winless in three matches and have lost their last two on the road.
Manchester City to win & over 3.5 goals, Birmingham and Lincoln to win or draw & BTTS: £10 at 17/2*
Last week was the second in a row (and seventh overall) that I've been one goal away from a win.
So although the numbers aren't looking healthy, I'm confident my luck is about to change.
City have scored 14 goals in their last three home league matches, and have beaten Bournemouth 4-0, 4-0 and 5-1 at the Etihad since they joined the Premier League.
Birmingham haven't lost at home this season, with BTTS in all of their last six at St Andrew's, while Preston have only won once on the road, with BTTS in four of their last five away.
There have also been goals at both ends in 11 of Lincoln's 13 home matches in all competitions, of which they've only lost two.
Carlisle have only failed to score once away from home this season, but are unlikely to cause an FA Cup shock against a team nine places and 11 points above them in League Two.
Manchester City to win and over 2.5 goals and Accrington, Oldham, Juventus and Dortmund all to win: £10 at 11/2*
Manchester City have won seven home games out of seven in the Premier League this season, with each of those tipping the over 2.5 goal balance.
In the FA Cup, I’m expecting both Accrington and Oldham to avoid shocks against Cheltenham and Maidstone respectively.
Elsewhere, I’m backing Juventus to win their 13th league game in 14 this season, while Dortmund have five victories from six Bundesliga matches at the Westfalenstadion. That should become six in seven.
