Everton v Newcastle – Click here to bet
Everton are currently 18th on the log and occupying the final relegation spot. They have not won in their last 5 matches and last time out played out a goalless draw at Crystal Palace. Their last home game was a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fulham.
Newcastle are 3rd on the table with 6 wins and 1 loss in their last 7 games. They hammered Tottenham 6-1 at home on the weekend and their penultimate match was a 3-0 away defeat at Aston Villa.
Newcastle won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home and given Everton’s struggles and the way that Newcastle are playing at the moment I am expecting 3 points for the away team.
Suggested Bet: Newcastle win at 8/10

Southampton v Bournemouth – Click here to bet
Southampton are bottom of the table and they haven’t had a win in their last 7 matches. They did get a 3-3 draw away at log leaders, Arsenal last time out and that broke a run of 3 successive defeats and they have only taken 1 point from the last 12 they have played for at home.
Bournemouth are 15th on the log with 3 victories and 2 defeats in their last 5 games. While that defeat came last time out 4-0 at home to West Ham, but prior to that they had beaten Tottenham and Leicester on the road.
Southampton won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Bournemouth.
I think this is going to be a close game and the draw is certainly tempting at 12/5, but I am going to settle on over 2.5 goals at even money. There have been 9 goals in Bournemouth’s last 2 goals and there were 6 in Southampton’s last match.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 1/1
Tottenham v Manchester United – Click here to bet
Tottenham are currently 6th on the log and have slumped to back-to-back defeats, 6-1 away at Newcastle and 3-2 at home to Bournemouth. Overall at home this season they have won 11 and lost 5 and incredibly there have been no draws at Tottenham this season.
Manchester United are 4th on the log and are coming off 3 successive League victories. They beat Nottingham 2-0 on the road last time out. They haven’t conceded a goal in their last 3 games.
A stat that jumps off the page for me is that both teams have found the net in Tottenham’s last 6 League matches, 4 of which have had 4 goals or more in them, a bet which would have arrived in 3 out of the last 5 head-to-head’s between the sides.
Both teams to score is a bit short for me at 4/7 and over 2.5 goals is priced at 13/20 so I am going to go for the bigger price and say we get 4 goals or more in this one.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 31/20
