Deciding who to back in the Grand National (Saturday, 5:15) is a tricky decision. Do you follow your heart, your head or a so called expert’s tips? But fear not football fans, Lewis Jones has simplified the process to tell you who to back, based on which football team you support...
LEICESTER CITY fans get on AACHEN (Sky Bet odds 150/1): The outsider of the field. A perceived no hoper. Tipped to go down but sometimes miracles do happen.
TOTTENHAM: THE DRUIDS NEPHEW (Sky Bet odds 16/1): Known to fall near the finish, but hope springs eternal that this could be his year.
ARSENAL: THE ROMFORD PELE (Sky Bet odds 40/1): You've got to back one of your own. Those saying: "It's only the Romford Pele" could come to regret those words at the finish.
MAN CITY: UCELLO CONTI (Sky Bet odds 25/1): All his wins have come on the continent - not sparkled domestically, but has all the talent in the world.
MAN UTD: SILVINIACO CONTI (Sky Bet odds 11/1): A former champion that has fallen on his sword. He's been labelled a bit boring but his monotonous style does get results.
WEST HAM: KRUZHLININ (Sky Bet odds 25/1): A switch of trainers has done this classy individual a world of good. His fans are happy again.
SOUTHAMPTON: SOLL (Sky Bet odds 50/1): Has built up a reputation of solid finishes (7th in 2013, 9th in 2015) but has trouble winning major honours.
STOKE: O´FAOLAINS BOY (Sky Bet odds 33/1): Flashy, full of talent and easy on the eye, but blows very hot and cold.
LIVERPOOL: ON HIS OWN (Sky Bet odds 40/1): Will press energetically from the front and has a man in his corner who some have described as a genius.
CHELSEA: BALLYNAGOUR (Sky Bet odds 66/1): In crisis this season. His previous glories seem a world away.
WEST BROM: SAINT ARE (Sky Bet odds 14/1): No nonsense approach. Not an eye catcher but won't go down.
EVERTON: THE LAST SAMURI (Sky Bet odds 10/1): In a false position within the handicap. Much better than his mark suggests.
BOURNEMOUTH: MORNING ASSEMBLEY (Sky Bet odds 33/1): Striking a blow for the good guys. Hails from a small yard but regularly upsets the odds.
WATFORD: UNIONISTE (Sky Bet odds 33/1): Glistening in bright yellow, this lad has punched above his weight all season.
SWANSEA: BUYWISE (Sky Bet odds 50/1): Flying the flag for Wales at the top level - flirts with going down but has never fallen under rules.
CRYSTAL PALACE: ROCKY CREEK (Sky Bet odds 66/1): Struggles to stay the distance under the watch of a silver fox.
NORWICH: MANY CLOUDS (Sky Bet odds 8/1): These green and yellow colours stand out a mile; no doubt he'll be staying on strongly towards the business end.
SUNDERLAND: WONDERFUL CHARM (Sky Bet odds 50/1) With Big Sam on his back, his chances of surviving the National test have improved.
NEWCASTLE: SIR DES CHAMPS (Sky Bet odds: 50/1): Has a huge following but is woefully out of form.
ASTON VILLA: BLACK THUNDER (Sky Bet odds 50/1): Can't buy a win. Looks to have thrown the towel in. A no hoper.
