The Championship's top two of last season, Ipswich and Leicester, meet in a huge game at the wrong end of the Premier League.

There are a couple of other huge relegation scraps on Saturday with Wolves taking on Crystal Palace in the late game.

Ipswich v Leicester (Saturday 3.00pm)

Bet 1: Over 3.5 Goals

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna deserves plenty of credit for his bold team selection at Brentford, which paid off in terms of goals scored - but it's the goals they keep conceding that are the worry.

Their 4-3 loss was a hugely entertaining one and be sure McKenna's men will throw the kitchen sink at Leicester in a game they will feel they must win.

Leicester have faced more shots than any other side in the top flight but their 50 per-cent conversion rate is also the best around. And they have scored in every match.

Bet 2: Facundo Buonanotte Shots - Over 1.5

Argentine teenager Facundo Buonanotte has proved quite the find for Steve Cooper with three goals to date.

He is also Leicester's sharpest shooter, the only player in the squad to have over two shots per game. Indeed, he had four in last week's 3-1 home loss against Nottingham Forest.

Bet 3: Over 4.5 Cards

Ipswich are averaging 2.5 cards per game, Leicester exactly three.

The stakes are seriously high as these two teams strive for what they will see as close to a must-win, so expect tension - and bookings.

Wolves v Crystal Palace (Saturday, 5:30pm)

Bet 1: Both Teams to Score

There was fun and games between these sides last season with Palace doing the double over Wolves, winning 3-2 at Selhurst Park and 3-1 at Molineux.

Both teams have scored in every Wolves' game since their opening-weekend 2-0 loss at Arsenal while Palace, buoyed by a pair of wins over the last week, will be licking their lips taking on the leakiest defence in the top flight.

Bet 2: Will Hughes to receive a card

With Adam Wharton and Jefferson Lerma sidelined, Will Hughes becomes a big player for Palace over the next few weeks.

Hughes offers honesty, work-rate, a neat pass - and plenty of fouls. He put in eight tackles and committed one foul at Aston Villa in the EFL Cup on Wednesday and picked up a booking, his fifth of the season.

Bet 3: Rayan Ait-Nouri to score or give an assist

Most of Wolves' best work comes down the left where the excellent Rayan Ait-Nouri offers an endless supply of attacking options.

It's little wonder the Algerian has scored three goals this season, and he also has a pair of assists to his name. He can get one or the other against the Eagles.
