Optimism around the Hawks has faded after a 2-3 start, with defensive issues leading to their early struggles.

The Cavs gave up 125 points in a defeat last time out, ahead of a clash with a Raptors side who have lost four in a row thanks to some dire defending. Awful defending and a glut of free throws saw Toronto lose 139-121, but they impressed going forward against a good Houston Rockets defence.

Leeds have never tasted success at the Amex Stadium in nine attempts and that statistic is unlikely to change when they take on Brighton on the south coast on Saturday.The Whites have failed to score in their last seven visits to the Seagulls and the away form of Daniel Farke’s side this season, with just three points collected from a possible 12, suggests it will be another miserable journey back to West Yorkshire.Brighton are unbeaten at home this term, beating Newcastle and Manchester City and drawing with Tottenham and Fulham, and Fabian Hurzeler’s side can add another three points to their tally.

It has been a dreadful start to the season for Norwich and their wait for a home point could go on when Hull visit Carrow Road.Five straight defeats on their own patch have left the Canaries ahead of only administration-hit Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship, and talk of protests at Saturday’s game will do nothing to lift the plummeting confidence of Liam Manning’s side.Hull admittedly have a few injury problems to contend with – Oli McBurnie and Matt Crooks are likely to be among their absentees – but only an injury-time Charlton equaliser last week denied them a fourth-straight league success.Striker Joe Gelhardt will be looking to score in his fourth successive match and the Tigers could prove too hot for the Norfolk outfit to handle.

Falkirk were beaten 4-0 by Celtic in a tough midweek assignment at Parkhead, but the Bairns can get back on track by beating Kilmarnock at the Falkirk Stadium.John McGlynn’s men have lost only two of their last six William Hill Premiership matches and those defeats came against the Scottish top-flight’s best two teams in Celtic and Hearts.Falkirk have beaten Dundee and Motherwell, and taken a point off Rangers on that run, which certainly isn’t a bad effort for a promoted team.It’s three defeats on the bounce for Kilmarnock, who perhaps unlike Falkirk, rate a side likely to be battling at the bottom of the league this season.

Arsenal will expect to maintain their four-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table with another routine victory against Burnley. The Gunners have only conceded three goals in the league this season and Mikel Arteta’s side have started to tighten the screw at the back.Arteta’s men have won their last six games and kept a clean sheet in each of those ties and they should have too much quality for Burnley. While the Clarets have won two matches on the spin, they came against relegation rivals Leeds United and Wolves.Scott Parker’s side have a league-low expected goals tally of 6.82 and the visitors should be refreshed and raring to go against the Clarets after resting several first-team stars against Brighton in their 2-0 EFL Cup win.

It has been a horror start to the season for Southampton, who have won only two of their opening 12 games, but manager Will Still can relieve some pressure with a massive home victory over Preston.The Saints have drawn six of those 12 games and only leaders Coventry and Ipswich have had more shots than them this season so you’d like to think that the tide should soon turn given the quality that they adopt.In Southampton’s last two home games, draws with Middlesbrough and Swansea, they had 35 shots combined and let up only 13. Preston may be on the cusp of the playoff places but they have picked up only five of their 19 points on the road.
