Today’s top football tips and best odds

You've got to hand it to Paddy Power - that "bet £10, get £20" bet is coming in very handy for any newbies - it's a free bet offer that allows you double your first £10 bet to play with. Get it here.

Obviously Arsenal are your banker of the day with what looks like a relatively easy trip to Fulham - if you are betting on goalscorers, remember that with Paddy Power - if Samir Nasri scores at all, you will get your money back. Check Arsenal's latest odds with our odds checker above.

Now, as an Everton fan, it pains me to say this but I don't see anything happening this season other than trouble. West Brom away has never been an easy match for the blues - and today without Phil Neville (and some blues won't like me saying this), they're missing a key man. In fact, they're missing so many key men that they're throwing in youth players left, right and centre. And while I'm on the case - Bill Kenwright, sort it out for the love of God, man. I'd be surprised if Moyes stays beyond the end of the year at this rate.

Anyway, back West Brom - these sides are battling away for everything at the start of the season and they don't have the weight of disappointment or pressure on them that usually comes late on in the season. This is a good time to play Everton.

Spurs - Sunderland will be interesting and I have a feeling it'll be quite close, what with the number of ex-Spurs players lining up for Tottenham. Roy Keane has bought well - if not spectacularly - and should see Sunderland survive the season in mid-table safety. Spurs should just edge it, though - with home support behind them.

I fancy Reading to beat Charlton at the Valley - Reading haven't exactly off-loaded their whole team, but Coppell will have them fired up for this one, and you can get decent odds today.

Tomorrow, there's a Skybet offer going on. Get a Free Matched £50 - if you sign up today - and get a free £20 bet every Sunday when you place £20 on the "to score in 90 minutes" market. The games on offer are Citeh vs West Ham (and I'd say back Ashton to score in the 90 - Citeh look shaky right now and Ashton will be full of confidence after last weekend)... and Pompey vs Manchester Utd which is on Monday evening. For some reason, I have a feeling Giggs will get on the scoresheet tomorrow - that's worth 9/2. Your free £20 bet would be on the second market (Pompey vs Man Utd).
