We take a look at Monday’s sports betting highlights in our Daily Diary.
FOOTBALL
There is a live FA Cup 4th round match on Monday night and it features English Premier League sides, Bournemouth and Arsenal.
Bournemouth are very much in the relegation battle in the EPL and while their fans would love a Cup run I suspect that management would not be too heartbroken should they bow out to be able to focus all resources on the League.
Arsenal have had a disappointing season to date and while they might still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe, realistically an FA Cup medal seems like their best prospect this season, for that reason I like the 17/20 that the Gunners win this in the 90 minutes.

TENNIS
The Australian Open enters the second week on Monday and Rafael Nadal is a 2/11 favourite to see off Nick Krygios who is 73/20.
One game which does look evenly matched is Andrey Rublev against Alexander Zverev with Rublev 17/20 and Zverev priced at 9/10.

CRICKET
The 4th Test match between England and South Africa continues and at this point it looks like the best South Africa can hope for is a draw and even that is something of a long shot. There will be in-running betting throughout the match.

The Big Bash League is nearing a conclusion and Match 56 of 61 features the Melbourne Renegades against the Brisbane Heat. The Renegades are 14/10 with the Heat priced at 6/10 and punters should tread carefully as both sides have had disappointing campaigns, although the Heat did win their last fixture and although in second last are 8 points above the Renegades who have won just 2 from 11 games.

HORSE RACING
Local horse racing takes place at the Fairview Polytrack on Monday, an 8 race card starting at 12:40 and scheduled to conclude at 16:40.
There are a couple of even money favourites in Races 1 and 2 and the shortest price on the day looks likely to be Ascending Heights in Race 4 currently priced at 7/10. Our fancy though comes in Race 5, Horse No. 7 Rocksette priced at 6/1 a win and 11/10 a top 3 finish.
