Coming back from the international break, a few of the league’s form teams will be hoping to pick up where they left off after the last round of games. Managers will have largely spent the last week praying for no injuries and preparing for the upcoming fixtures. There are some really tasty ties to look forward to – chiefly Saturday’s late game where Arsenal host Manchester United.
This week we have an Easy Winner at 6/4, a Medium Risk at 4/1 and a Long Shot with a couple of intriguing potential story lines at 80/1.
Easy Winner – 6/4 (Sky Bet)
- Chelsea v West Brom, Chelsea to win (2/9) – The Blues are in danger of running away with the title and have a superb home record. This is the closest you will get to a banker in this division at 1/5 with Sky Bet.
- Stoke v Burnley, under 3.5 goals (2/7) – Neither team has been prolific in front of goal this season and Stoke will probably be happy with a low scoring win. Sky Bet have priced under 3.5 total goals in the game at 2/7.
- Arsenal v Manchester United, both teams to score (8/13) – With so much attacking talent on display in this game, goals at both ends are more than likely. Betting yes on both teams to score is 8/13 and that looks like very nice value.
Medium Risk – 4/1 (Coral)
- Newcastle v QPR, Newcastle to win (4/5) – He still isn’t Newcastle fans’ favourite man, but Alan Pardew has helped to inspire Newcastle to be one of the league’s form teams over recent weeks. They look nicely priced at 4/5 with Coral to beat QPR at St James Park.
- Everton v West Ham, both teams to score (6/10) – Everton and West Ham are two of the league’s best teams to bet on when it comes to both teams to score markets. Coral are offering 6/10 for both teams to find the net at Goodison this weekend.
- Aston Villa v Southampton, Southampton to win (4/5) – Southampton have won five on the bounce in all competitions, while Villa haven’t won since mid-September. Betting on the high flying Saints to win at Villa Park is 4/5 and that looks a very nice addition to our second accumulator.
Long Shot – 80/1 (Sky Bet)
- Sergio Aguero to score first (12/5) – Odds on Aguero to score continue to shorten week on week, as the little Argentinian seems to find the net in every game at the moment. City face a tough fixture at home to Swansea, but it’s hard to see anyone else opening the scoring in the match. He’s 12/5 to grab the opening goal with Sky Bet.
- Crystal Palace v Liverpool, Crystal Palace to win (10/3) – This is a rematch of last year’s famous Liverpool collapse that put their title challenge in a spin. Palace are long odds to repeat their heroics, but with Liverpool looking out of sorts, backing them to win here looks like a good value bet. 10/3 for Palace to win with Sky Bet is a great punt for the risk takers out there.
- Danny Welbeck to score first (9/2) – This will be Welbeck’s first game against his former club Manchester United. He’s showed good scoring touch with England and it would be fitting that he netted in this one. The front man is 9/2 to score first at the Emirates.
