Aston Villa v Newcastle United – Click here to bet

Aston Villa are 6th on the log and undefeated in their last 7 games which has seen them win 6 and draw 1.  They have won their last 4 games in a row including beating Nottingham 2-0 at home last time out.

Newcastle are 3rd on the log and also on an excellent run of 5 successive victories.  Their last coming at Brentford in a 2-1 margin.

Newcastle hammered Aston Villa 4-0 in the reverses fixture, but I can see this game being much closer and I am going for a draw to kick off the weekend.

Suggested Bet:  The draw at 12/5

 

Chelsea v Brighton – Click here to bet

Chelsea are 11th on the log and without a victory in their last 4 starts.  They went down 1-0 on the road to Wolves last time out and have failed to score in their last 3 games.

Brighton are 7th on the log and saw a 5 match unbeaten run ended when they lost 2-1 at Tottenham last time out.  Prior to that they had beaten Bournemouth 2-0 on the road.

Brighton beat Chelsea 4-1 at home in the reverse fixture and I think they can do the double.

Suggested Bet:  Brighton win at 7/4

Everton v Fulham – Click here to bet

Everton are currently 17th on the log and very much in the relegation battle.  They have only taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for and were beaten 2-0 away at Manchester United last time out.  They have lost only 1 of their last 5 home games.

Fulham are 10th on the log, but in free fall with 4 successive losses and only 1 point from the last 15 they have played for.  They were beaten 1-0 at home by West Ham last time out and lost 2-1 to Bournemouth in their last away game.

Fulham and Everton played out a goalless draw earlier in the season, but I am expecting a desperate Everton side to be too strong for a Fulham side that looks totally out of sorts.

Suggested Bet:  Everton win at 11/10

 

Southampton v Crystal Palace – Click here to bet

Southampton are currently bottom of the table with 3 losses and 2 draws in their last 5 games.  They were hammered 4-1 at home by Manchester City last time out and they have only won twice in 15 home starts this season.

Palace are up to 12th on the table after breaking a 12 match run without a victory with back-to-back victories at home to Leicester and then last time out 5-1 on the road against Leeds.

Palace beat Southampton 1-0 at home earlier this season and they also won this fixture 2-1 last season and I am backing them to put another nail in the Southampton coffin.

Suggested Bet:  Crystal Palace win at 17/10

 

Tottenham v Bournemouth – Click here to bet

Tottenham are currently 5th on the log and are undefeated in their last 4 starts.  They beat Brighton 2-1 at home last time out and the stat that jumps out in recent Tottenham games is that both teams have found the net in the last 4 matches.

Bournemouth are 15th on the log with 3 victories and 2 defeats in their last 5 games.  They edged Leicester 1-0 on the road in their last game and it was their 3rd win away from home in 15 starts.

There were 5 goals in the reverse fixture which Tottenham won 3-2 at Bournemouth and they also won this fixture 3-2 last season.

I am expecting more goals and I am going for 4 goals or more in the match.

Suggested Bet:  Over 3.5 goals at 16/10

 

Wolves v Brentford – Click here to bet

Wolves are currently 13th on the log and got a much needed win last time out when they beat Chelsea 1-0 at home to break a 3 match streak without a victory.

They face Brentford who are currently 9th, but have seen their strong season begin to go backwards with no victories in their last 4 games and back-to-back defeats at home to Newcastle and away to Manchester United.

These sides played to a 1-1 draw earlier this season and I am expecting a similar result between 2 teams who are battling to find form.

Suggested Bet:  Correct score 1-1 at 9/2

 

Manchester City v Leicester City – Click here to bet

Manchester City are coming off an excellent 3-0 home win to Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek and they currently sit 2nd on the table 6 points behind Arsenal, but with a game in hand and having won their last 5 matches.  They hammered Southampton 4-1 on the road last time out and their last home game was a 4-1 demolishing of Liverpool.

Leicester are second from bottom of the table and in absolute free fall with 7 losses and a draw in their last 8 matches.  They lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth last time out and they are in very real danger of being relegated.

Manchester City are absolutely rampant at the moment and I am going to back them to win this game by 3 goals or more.

Suggested Bet:  Handicap, Manchester City -2.5 at 12/10
