WEDNESDAY
Liverpool v Fulham – Click here to bet
Liverpool are currently 5th on the log and on a good run in the League which has seen them undefeated in their last 6 matches and winning their last 4. They beat Tottenham 4-3 at home last time out and their last 5 matches have all delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers with 4 of those 5 games reaching the 4 goal mark. Liverpool have only lost once in 16 matches at home this season.
Fulham are currently 10th on the log, but coming off back-to-back defeats, 2-1 at home to Manchester City and 1-0 away to Aston Villa. Fulham have won 6 and drawn 2 of their 16 away matches this season, but they have lost 3 of their last 4 on the road.
These sides played out a 2-2 draw at Fulham earlier in the season and last season Fulham stunned Liverpool winning this fixture 1-0.
Goals have been flowing in Liverpool games and I am betting on that to continue.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 1/1

Manchester City v West Ham – Click here to bet
Manchester City currently sit 2nd on the log, 2 points behind Arsenal, but with 2 games in hand. They have won their last 8 matches in succession including beating Fulham 2-1 on the road last time out. City have only lost 1 and drawn 1 game in 16 home matches this season and they have scored 54 goals while conceding just 16 in front of their own fans.
West Ham are 15th on the log and having looked well on course to safety, they have suffered a wobble with back-to-back defeats away at Crystal Palace and at home to Liverpool. 3 out of the last 4 West Ham games have had 4 goals or more in them and 4 out of the last 5 games would have delivered you a profit had you backed over 3.5 goals in Manchester City matches.
This is another game where recent form suggests we are going to have goals and I am once again going to be backing the over 3.5 goals.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 1/1
THURSDAY
Brighton v Manchester United – Click here to bet
Brighton are currently 8th on the log with 3 wins and 2 losses in their last 5 games. They hammered Wolves 6-0 at home on the weekend and they have taken 10 points from the last 12 they have played for in front of their own fans.
Manchester United are 4th on the log and they have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches. They beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home last time out and their last away game was a 2-2 draw against Tottenham. United have won 7, lost 6 and drawn 3 of their 16 away matches this season.
These sides recently met in the FA Cup semi-final where Manchester United won on penalties and Brighton beat Manchester United in the reverse fixture earlier this season 2-1.
Brighton are quite short for the win here at even money and their fans will be hoping for a repeat of last season’s 4-0 success. Goals have been flowing in Brighton’s most recent matches and I am going to have another go at the overs markets here.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 13/10
I am also going to stick a few rand that all 3 of the matches previewed have at least 4 goals in them at odds of just over 8/1.
