There is plenty of live football action for punters to get stuck into on Monday night and we take a closer look at this and other betting options in our Daily Diary.

FOOTBALL

Portsmouth take on Arsenal in the FA Cup having beaten Barnsley 4-2 in the last round. One characteristic that stands out of all Portsmouth FA Cup matches is that both teams have found the net in each game.

Arsenal beat Bournemouth 2-1 away in their last FA Cup start and we fancy both teams to score, YES, at 8/10.

There is also live Championship action with 22^nd place Middlesbrough up against 4^th placed Nottingham Forest.

Middlesbrough are in real poor form without a win in their last 9 games and Nottingham Forest broke a 3 run game without a victory when they beat Cardiff 1-0 away in their last start.

Middlesbrough 7/4, the draw 22/10 and Forest 17/10 and that is where we think the value lies.

HORSE RACING

Local Horse Racing takes place at the Fairview Polytrack in Port Elizabeth, an 8 race card starting at 12:40 and finishing at 16:30.

There is a hotpot favourite first up with Horse No. 1, Leprechaun priced at 3/10 for the win and there are a number of firm favourites on the day. We think it may be worth trying to beat Horse No. 6, All The Stars priced at 11/20 in the first leg of the Pick Six which is Race No. 3.
