One game catches the eye today and surprisingly we are bypassing the Premier League, in favour of the Championship.
Preston take on Middlesbrough today at Deepdale with a midday kick off.

Boro were arguably the best team in the Championship last season, however a mixture of inconsistency and poorish form at the end of the season meant they had to take their chances in the lottery of the play offs. They came up short unfortunately but it will be surprising if they do so again this term.
Middlesbrough have lost their midfield inspiration of Bamford who has returned to the Premier League with Crystal Palace, but he has been replaced by Stewart Downing or should rip many midfield's apart this season. With further high profile stars likely to come in (Jordan Rhodes is expected to make the move) Boro can be expected to go one better this time around.
Preston on the other hand will be happy with staying in the Championship and consolidating. They should have enough about them to do so, and with Joe Garner they have a goalscorer who should get the goals to help them on the way.
We can expect Middlesbrough to get the better of Preston today. With odds available of 6/4 that looks value.
Have a great day.
