WOLVES v TOTTENHAM – Click here to bet
Wolves are currently 14th on the log with 3 wins in their opening 11 games. They saw a 5 match unbeaten run end last time out when they went down 2-1 away to Sheffield United. They are undefeated in their last 3 home games.
Tottenham are currently 2nd on the log and they suffered their first defeat of the season on Monday night when they lost 4-1 at home to Chelsea. They have the best away record in the League with 4 wins and 2 draws in their 6 matches.
Tottenham are the favourites here at 12/10, but I think their confidence could have taken a knock and I am backing Wolves to pick up a point.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 27/10

ARSENAL v BURNLEY – Click here to bet
Arsenal are currently 4th on the log, but coming off a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle and that was their first loss in the league this season. They have played 6 games at home winning 4 and drawing 2 and their last home match was a 5-0 thumping of Sheffield United.
Burnley are second from bottom of the table with just 1 win in their opening 11 games. They are on a 4 match losing streak and went down 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace last time out. Burnley’s sole victory this season did come on the road and they have taken 4 points from a possible 15 on their travels.
Burnley actually have a good recent record against Arsenal away taking 4 points from a possible 6, but they didn’t play last season as Burnley were in the Championship. They are 14/1 for glory here, but I can’t look past a comfortable Arsenal win and I am going to back the Gunners to score 3 goals or more.
Suggested Bet: Arsenal, over 2.5 goals at 5/6
CRYSTAL PALACE v EVERTON – Click here to bet
Crystal Palace are currently 11th on the log and broke a 3 match streak without a victory when they beat Burnley 2-0 away last time out. Their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham and overall at home this season they have managed to only win once in 5 attempts.
Everton are currently 16th on the log and are coming off a 1-1 home draw against Brighton. Their last away game was a 1-0 victory over West Ham and that is 1 of 2 away wins they have had in 5 starts this season and those 2 wins have come in their last 3 away games.
This game looks fairly tough to pick a winner and the draw at 9/4 is tempting, I am going to go under 2.5 goals at 4/6.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 4/6
MANCHESTER UNITED v LUTON TOWN – Click here to bet
Manchester United are currently 8th on the table and they are 1 of 2 teams in the League yet to draw a game, winning 6 and losing 5. 3 of those victories have come in their last 4 starts and they beat Fulham 1-0 on the road last time out. Manchester United have a 50% win/loss record at home and their last home game was against their rivals, City where they lost 3-0.
Luton are out of the relegation zone despite only winning 1 game this season. They have drawn 2 of their last 3 games including a massive result last time out 1-1 at home to Liverpool. Luton have won 1 of 6 away matches this season losing 4 and drawing 1 and 5 of those 6 Luton away games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Manchester United are 7/20 for the win and I think they are going to be too strong for this Luton team.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Manchester United -1.5 goals at 19/20
BOURNEMOUTH v NEWCASTLE – Click here to bet
Bournemouth are currently 18th on the log with just 1 win in their opening 11 games. That came in their penultimate start at home to Burnley, but they were brought down to earth last time out with a 6-1 thumping at Manchester City. Overall at home this season Bournemouth have played 6 games, winning 1 and drawing 2 and they have only scored 4 goals in those 6 matches.
Newcastle are up to 6th on the log and they are undefeated in their last 7 starts with 5 victories and 2 draws. They beat Arsenal 1-0 at home last time out and their last away game was a 2-2 draw with Wolves and their troubles have come on the road as they have only won 1 of 5 matches this season.
Bournemouth are 15/4 for the win with the draw 16/5 and Newcastle 7/10.
I think Newcastle will get the win, but the value here for me is in over 3.5 goals at 31/20 as this would have arrived in 50% of Bournemouth home games and in 4 of the 5 Newcastle away matches.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 31/20
