Ipswich v Brentford
Portman Road, 1945 BST, Sky Sports Red Button
It was another comfortable victory for Brentford at the weekend as they saw off Wigan 2-0 at Griffin Park.
That result saw the Bees move up to second in the Sky Bet Championship, and they'll be aiming to keep the pressure on Leeds at the top when they travel to Ipswich.
Neal Maupay has (rightly) been taking the plaudits after his seven goals and three assists, that's despite a three-game suspension, but there is value in backing another goalscorer.
Lewis MacLeod has been a star in the Brentford midfield, adapting to a few roles required of him this season.
He's shown his attacking qualities, scoring two and assisting a further two, and has shown he can be a pivotal point when it comes to his side going forward.
The attacking trio of Maupay, Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma/Sergi Canos have been the eye-catching element of the side, but the impact of the midfield has been key.
MacLeod, alongside the likes of Josh McEachran and Romain Sawyers, have given them real depth and creativity, which is crucial to the way they want to play.
A best-price of 13/2 available on him to score here seems great value given the fact that Brentford lead the league when it comes to shots taken.
They come up against an Ipswich side who are still waiting for their first win in seven. Paul Hurst's side sit bottom of the standings with just three points and eleven conceded.
The Tractor Boys have the second worst goal difference in the division, and that should be damaged further after this encounter.
Best bet: Lewis MacLeod to score anytime at 13/2
Leeds v Preston
Elland Road, 1945 BST, Sky Sports Red Button
A late Jack Harrison equaliser saw Leeds maintain their unbeaten league record with a 1-1 draw away at Millwall on Saturday.
They sit top of the standings after seven games, and they'll fancy themselves for another win at home against a Preston side who haven't secured victory since opening day.
North End lost at home last time out against Reading, who had just two points heading into the encounter. They did show character to draw level twice, but it wasn't enough as the Royals wrapped up a 3-2 win.
It's difficult to see anything other than a Leeds victory here, despite the fact that Preston did beat them in the Carabao Cup last month.
You can't examine that result too much given the amount of changes made, with Leeds giving much needed game time to a number of players.
The Whites may be missing Pablo Hernandez, Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford - but they are still capable of goals. Harrison's strike at Millwall made him the ninth different player to score for the club this season.
That shows how everyone contributes in this Bielsa system, and they are a side who can strike the net on multiple occasions in front of their own fans.
Best bet: Leeds to win and over 2.5 goals in the match at 11/5
Stoke v Swansea
Bet365 Stadium, 1945 BST, Sky Sports Football
It's been a miserable start to the season for title-favourites Stoke City, with just one win from seven games seeing them sit 20th in the table.
Gary Rowett's men threw away a 2-0 lead away at Sheffield Wednesday to draw 2-2, and it remains to be seen what their confidence will be like after that result.
They face another tough task when they welcome Swansea, who occupy a play-off spot with three wins and three draws.
Despite contrasting fortunes, the visitors are the outsiders here, with Stoke expected to potentially see an upturn in their form at some point.
The Potters have quality throughout their ranks, and someone in Benik Afobe leading the line who knows where the net is.
The 25-year-old has four goals on his tally already this season, which is impressive when you take into consideration his team's poor results.
He was the pre-season favourite to be the top goalscorer given his record at this level in the past.
Afobe managed to score six goals in 16 games during half a season at Wolves as they won the title back in May, and he's managed to carry that form into the current season.
During the 2015/16 campaign, again with Wolves, he scored 13 goals in 21 appearances, following it up with nine goals the following season before leaving for Bournemouth midway through the campaign.
A best-price of 9/5 is available on him scoring anytime here. If Stoke are to turn around their fortunes, you imagine that Afobe will be heavily involved in the action.
Best bet: Benik Afobe to score anytime at 9/5
