Football accumulator tips: This Week's Acca from Sporting Life for Saturday 17/02/24

• This Week's Acca Podcast: The Tuesday Treble
• Acca Tracker: How are we doing?

Five teams towards the top of their tables are backed for success in the latest edition of This Week's Acca.

We start in the Premier League, where ARSENAL travel to struggling Burnley. The Gunners find themselves in the mix of the title race in England's top tier.

They've won all ten games against those currently 13th or below in the standings, while Burnley have conceded 3+ goals in seven of eight games against those currently in the top five.

Into the Sky Bet Championship, and LEICESTER are 12 points clear at the top. They'll be hoping to extend that gap when they welcome Middlesbrough.

The Foxes have won 14 of their last 18 games in all competitions, while Boro have conceded three in defeats away at Coventry, Leeds and West Brom - three other teams in the top six.

Staying at the top-end of that league, and IPSWICH will be aiming for back-to-back victories when they travel to Swansea.

The Swans were well beaten by Leeds in midweek and the flow of the game is likely to play into Ipswich's hands here.

BOLTON remain in the hunt for top spot in Sky Bet League One, and they could close the gap to Portsmouth with a home win over Charlton.

Ian Evatt's side are the best home side in the division with 11 wins from their 16 games, while they've lost just one of their last ten league games.

Finally, WREXHAM have gained more points than any other side in front of their own supporters in League Two, potentially putting them in a good spot against Notts County.

Ten of the last 12 at home in all competitions have ended in victory for Phil Parkinson's side.

• Tottenham (vs Wolves), Nottingham Forest (vs West Ham) and Mansfield (vs Walsall) were also discussed on the This Week's Acca podcast but didn't make the final accumulator...
