Tottenham’s freefall continued in midweek as they conceded five against Atletico Madrid and now face a daunting trip to Anfield in the Premier League.

Winless in 2026, there’s not much confidence from our top-topping team that their luck will change – in fact quite the opposite!

Elsewhere on Sunday Man United host Aston Villa, goals are expected at Selhurst Park and Barcelona are fancied to build on their faultless home record.

Kevin Hatchard is joined by Mark Stinchcombe, Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones and Betfair trader Emmet O’Keeffe to preview Sunday’s action.

After hauling themselves up to within a point of safety in the Premier League, West Ham briefly turn their attention to the FA Cup as they host Brentford.

The visitors whilst still fighting for European football will also consider the competition to be one they can target, but Lewis Jones is unsure about backing them as favourites. 

Elsewhere Emmet O’Keeffe is keen on a centre-back goalscorer at Craven Cottage, whilst Jake Osgathorpe has a host of value picks across Europe.

Host Kevin Hatchard steers the top-tipping team through the best of the action on Sunday.
