Victories against Motherwell and St Mirren since Christmas Day have put Rangers back in the title race and the Gers can move level on points with Celtic by winning the Old Firm derby.Danny Rohl’s Rangers have won four of their last five domestic matches and can take advantage of their fragile hosts on Saturday to land a juicy-price winner for their backers.Bet builderArsenal to beat Bournemouth and Leandro Trossard to score anytime @ 21/10League leaders Arsenal enjoyed a huge injection of confidence by crushing Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night and the Gunners can be fancied to claim another three points when they head south to Bournemouth on Saturday.While Arsenal were cruising to victory against Villa, Bournemouth were battling to a draw at Stamford Bridge. The self-belief in Mikel Arteta’s side has rocketed, while Bournemouth have been flirting with the relegation zone after a terrible spell of form.Leandro Trossard was awesome against Villa – a constant threat and clinical in front of goal – and the Belgian can add to his goals tally against Bournemouth. Bukayo Saka has become more or a provider than a goalscorer in recent months, meaning Trossard represents better value in the scorer markets.Arsenal to win and Trossard to score looks the best Bet Builder option at 21/10.AccaBrighton to beat Burnley (1/2), Hearts to beat Livingston (1/3), Arsenal to beat Bournemouth (1/2) – 2/1Arsenal to win at Bournemouth will provide the foundation of many a Saturday accumulator – and punters are right to throw their support behind the Gunners.Arsenal have lost just once in all competitions from September onwards. Mikel Arteta’s side can brush Bournemouth aside at the Vitality Stadium, while Brighton can defeat Burnley earlier in the day.Brighton have lost only one league game at home this season, while Burnley have won only one away. Only one team in the league has conceded more away goals than Burnley.Complete the treble with Hearts, who have a great chance of kicking clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. Hearts host Livingston on the same day as Celtic meet Rangers. It is entirely feasible that Hearts could be six points clear at the end of the day. They should see off Livingston with the minimum of fuss. An Arsenal, Brighton, Hearts treble pays 2/1.BET £10 AND GET A £30 FREE BET WITH talkSPORT BETOdds correct at time of publish and subject to change*18+ New customers only.
