Fulham v Leeds – Click here to bet
Fulham broke a 5 match run without a victory and a 4 match losing streak when they beat Everton 3-1 on the road last time out. That has moved them up to 10th on the table and they will be looking for their first home win in 3 starts.
Leeds are 16th on the log and are coming off back to back defeats at home to Liverpool and Crystal Palace where they lost by 6-1 and 5-1 respectively. Leeds have only won twice in 15 road trips this season.
Leeds last 6 games have all delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and in fact 4 of those 6 games have had 5 goals or more in them. Given those stats I am shocked that we can get 9/10 on over 2.5 goals.
Suggested Bet: Total goals over 2.5 at 9/10
Brentford v Aston Villa – Click here to bet
Brentford are currently 9th on the log, but on a poor run that has seen them take just 2 points from their last 5 starts and they have lost their last 3 games in a row, most recently going down 2-0 at Wolves. Their last home game was a 2-1 defeat by Newcastle.
Aston Villa are 6th on the table and one of the form teams in the EPL with 5 successive victories and 7 wins and a draw in their last 8 starts. They beat Newcastle 3-0 at home last time out and they won their last 2 away games against Leicester and Chelsea.
Given current form I am more than happy to be taking close to 2/1 on an Aston Villa win.
Suggested Bet: Aston Villa win at 15/8

Crystal Palace v Everton – Click here to bet
Crystal Palace are currently 12th on the log and they have won their last 3 matches in a row including beating Southampton 2-0 on the road last time out. Their last home game was a 2-1 victory over Leicester and that at the time broke a 4 match losing streak.
Everton are 17th on the log with just 2 points from the last 12 they have played for. They suffered back-to-back defeats, 3-1 at home to Fulham and 2-0 at Old Trafford.
5 of the last 6 head-to-head games between these sides in the League have seen over 2.5 goal backers collect profits so once again I am surprised at the price we are getting on the overs here.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 27/20
Leicester v Wolves – Click here to bet
Leicester are currently 2nd from bottom of the table and on a terrible run which has seen them go 9 games without a victory and 8 of those 9 games have ended in defeat. They were beaten 3-1 away at Manchester City last time out and their last home game was a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Wolves are 13th on the log and saw a 3 match run without a victory ended when they beat Chelsea 1-0 at home and they followed that up with a 2-0 home win over Brentford. They have battled on the road this season winning just twice in 15 starts.
I don’t see any obvious bets in the goal markets and actually think this is going to be quite a tight game and that the draw is going to be a big runner.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 23/10
Liverpool v Nottingham – Click here to bet
Liverpool are currently 8th on the log and undefeated in their last 3 games. Last time out they beat Leeds 6-1 on the road and prior to that drew 2-2 at home to Arsenal and played a goalless draw at Chelsea.
Nottingham are sitting 18th in the final position in the relegation zone. They haven’t won in their last 10 starts and they have only taken 3 points from the last 13 they have played for. They went down 2-0 at home to Manchester United last time out and lost to Villa on the road in their previous start.
Nottingham beat Liverpool 1-0 in the reverse fixture, but I think we are going to get something similar to last year’s 5-1 drubbing of Nottingham at Anfield.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 15/8
