The Accumulator: the five best bets to include in your Saturday multiples

Landing a huge combination bet on the weekend is the ultimate dream for most of us, so look no further than our weekly guide to what you should be including in yours.

With the Premier League and Championship returning this week, we've included plenty of football in our multiple, starting with Manchester City's trip to Burnley, which Greg Lea believes might result in a narrow win for the Citizens. "A game against Manchester City is never welcome, but Pep Guardiola’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace in their last outing, although City created more than enough chances to win that match. Burnley could make life difficult for the champions and restrict them to just one or two goals, but City will almost certainly have too much for their hosts."

Chelsea, and in particular Kai Havertz, are of interest to Greg as the Blues play Brentford at Stamford Bridge. He says: "Havertz has cemented himself as Thomas Tuchel’s go-to pick at centre-forward, leaving Romelu Lukaku facing an uncertain future. Havertz has scored four goals in his last three Premier League outings, and six in his last seven matches in all competitions. The Germany international will fancy his chances of notching another against a Brentford side that has not kept a clean sheet away from home since September."

In the Championship, Ron Lewis thinks struggling Peterborough can hit the net against Middlesbrough, but that Chris Wilder's side should be too strong. "What Peterborough have managed to do in recent weeks is score, with Jonson Clarke-Harris and Jack Marriott netting seven goals between them in the last four matches. Under Chris Wilder, Middlesbrough are not a side to be taken lightly by anyone. They will be seeing a match against Peterborough as a banker win." 

In League One, Ron likes the look of in-form Sheffield Wednesday who face lovely AFC Wimbledon. "The wheels seem to have fallen off at AFC Wimbledon and time was up this week for Mark Robinson, as he left the head coach position, with Mark Bowen stepping in as manager until the end of the season. The club has been on a rotten run. Not only have they lost their last five games, they have not won a match since December 7. The form of Sheffield Wednesday, in contrast, has been pretty good, as they have managed ten wins since the turn of the year. They seemed to have a blip this month, but put that behind them last Saturday with a 4-1 win over Cheltenham Town."

Finally, to the horses, and Tom Collins fancies Speech Bubble to impress at Newbury. "There is no doubt that this Grade 2 Mares' Series Final has been the long-term target for Speech Bubble and, although she won't get her ideal bog-like conditions, there should be enough give underfoot to see her come out on top. Successful at this track earlier in the season before finishing second to subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner Love Envoi, few horses match her level of form in this heat."
