NOTTINGHAM FOREST v MANCHESTER CITY – Click here to bet
Nottingham Forest are 3rd in the League, but they have hit a wobble and have lost 3, drawn 1 and won 1 of their last 5 games. Last time out they drew 0-0 at home to Arsenal and they have only lost twice at home this season.
Manchester City are 4th on the log with 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last 5 games. They were 1.83 favourites to beat Tottenham away from home last time out and duly delivered.
Head-to-Head
Manchester City won the reverse fixture 3-0 at home and last season they won this fixture 2-0.
Betting and Verdict
As good a season as far as Forest have had, I get the feeling that they are starting to take strain and the 1.91 on City to win looks too good to resist.
BET: Manchester City win at 1.91

LIVERPOOL v SOUTHAMPTON – Click here to bet
Liverpool are top of the table, a massive 13 points ahead of Arsenal who have a game in hand. They have only lost 1 match all season and have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5, scoring 2 goals in each of their last 5 games.
Southampton are currently bottom of the table with just 2 wins in 27 starts. They were hammered 4-0 at Chelsea last time out and they have only won once in 14 road trips this season.
Head-to-Head
Liverpool beat Southampton 3-2 away from home in the reverse fixture.
Betting and Verdict
Liverpool are predictably short at 1.14 with the draw at 10.00 and Southampton a massive 18.00. There is every chance of Liverpool winning this game by plenty, but given they are still fighting in the Champions League, I think it may be just a case of getting the job done.
BET: Correct Score 2-0 at 8.50
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS v EVERTON – Click here to bet
Wolves are currently 17th on the log with 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last 5 starts. Their last match was a home game against Fulham when they went down 2-1 and while they have only lost 3 home matches this season, 3 of those defeats have come in their last 4 games in front of their own fans.
Everton are 16th on the log, 1 position ahead of Wolves, but a full 10 points clear. They are one of the form teams in the division and are unbeaten in their last 8 starts and they have drawn their last 2 games 1-1 away to Brentford and 2-2 at home to Manchester United.
Betting and Verdict
Wolves are the 2.63 favourites with the draw on offer at 3.20 and Everton at 2.90. Both teams have found the back of the net in Everton’s last 4 matches and I am betting on that trend to continue.
BET: Both teams to score, YES, at 1.95
