Bournemouth v Luton Town – Click here to bet
Bournemouth are currently 14th on the log and have had 4 wins and a draw in their last starts. They are coming off a brilliant 3-0 away win at Manchester United, but they have only taken 9 points out of a possible 24 at home this season.
Luton are currently 18th on the log and have lost 4 and won 1 of their last 5 starts. They were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City last time out and they have only had 1 win in 8 attempts on the road this season. Luton have looked full of goals in recent times and I think both teams find the back of the net here.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 5/6
Chelsea v Sheffield United – Click here to bet
Chelsea are currently 12th on the table with just 1 win in their last 5 starts. They are coming off back-to-back defeats away at Everton and Manchester United, but their last home game was a 3-2 win over Brighton.
Sheffield United are bottom of the table with just 2 wins in 16 starts, but one of those wins came last time out when they beat Brentford 1-0 at home a game where they started 7/2 underdogs, that broke a run of 3 successive losses.
Sheffield United have the worst away record in the League and have yet to win a game in 7 matches.
Chelsea have scored 7 goals in their last 2 home matches and I am expecting them to get at least 3 goals in this one.
Suggested Bet: Chelsea goals over 2.5 at 1/1

Manchester City v Crystal Palace – Click here to bet
Manchester City are currently 4th on the log and they broke a 4 match run without a victory when they beat Luton 2-1 on the road last time out. They have drawn their last 2 home games against Tottenham 3-3 and Liverpool 1-1.
Crystal Palace are currently 15th on the log and they have only taken 1 point from the last 15 they have played for. They were beaten 2-1 at home by Liverpool last time out and their last away game was a 1-1 draw at West Ham.
Manchester City have conceded in their last 6 games and I think both teams find the back of the net here.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 12/10
Newcastle v Fulham – Click here to bet
Newcastle are currently 7th on the log having suffered back-to-back away defeats to Tottenham and Everton, going down by 3 goals in each match. Their home form has been excellent though with 7 wins and a loss in their 8 matches and in those 8 games they have scored 19 goals while conceding just 4.
Fulham are 10th on the table and they have won their last 2 games against West Ham and Nottingham at home by 5-0 margins. They have battled on the road though with just 1 win in 8 matches.
Newcastle did the double over Fulham last season and they won this fixture 1-0.
Newcastle are 17/20 for the win, but I am not sure they could be trusted on current form and the bet I prefer here is that we get 4 goals or more at 7/4. This bet would have arrived in Fulham’s last 5 League matches and in 2 of Newcastle’s last 4 games.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 7/4
Burnley v Everton – Click here to bet
Burnley are currently 19th on the log and they have only won 1 of their last 9 matches. Last time out they drew 1-1 at Brighton, but their last home game was a 5-0 victory over Sheffield United.
Everton are 17th on the log after 3 successive victories, most recently beating Chelsea 2-0 at home. Their last away game was a 1-0 win at Nottingham and 13 of Everton’s 23 points (they had been deducted 10 points) have come on the road.
Everton seem to have been stung into action by the points deduction and I am going for them to make it 4 on the trot.
Suggested Bet: Everton win at 23/20
