The Anorak: Mackay's Hornets still buzzing and can land 10-11 bet

WATFORD at a generally available price of 10-11 make most appeal as this weekend's banker bet in a tricky fixture list.

Malky Mackay has worked miracles to get the Hornets into a play-off position operating on one of the lowest budgets in the Championship. The prolific Danny Graham has not yet been sold to the pack of bigger clubs chasing his signature, and he can heap more pressure on Nigel Clough and Derby who are dreadful away from home, and still on a downer after losing at Crawley.

Watford have smashed Portsmouth 3-0 and Cardiff 4-1 and Hartlepool 4-1 in their past three games at Vicarage Road and continue on a roll.

The other three tips to add to a Yankee are Carlisle at 5-6 to beat Bristol Rovers, Southampton at 4-6 to beat Notts County and MK Dons to beat Tranmere at 5-6 with Scotbet.

In Scotbet's handicap section, you can have odds of 14-1 that Hibs hold Celtic and midweek victors Blackpool and West Ham avoid defeat against out-of-sorts West Brom and Arsenal.
