EVERTON v NEWCASTLE – Click here to bet
Everton are currently in 18th position occupying the final relegation spot. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches including beating Nottingham 1-0 on the road last time out. Their last home game was a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Manchester United and overall at home this season have only managed to win 1 of their 7 matches.
Everton home games have been the lowest scoring of the League averaging just 2 goals each with only 3 of the 7 matches delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers. That been said those 3 matches have come in their last 4 home starts so there is a trend of goals in Everton home games.
Newcastle are 6th on the log and they have won 3 of their last 4 matches including beating Manchester United 1-0 at home on the weekend, a game where they started even money favourites.
Their last away match was a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth and that was their 3rd away loss in 6 matches this season and they have only taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for on the road. 4 of the 6 Newcastle away matches have reached the 3 goal mark.
Newcastle won this fixture 4-1 last season and although Everton look much improved I am backing Newcastle for the 3 points here.
Suggested Bet: Newcastle United win at 13/10

TOTTENHAM v WEST HAM – Click here to bet
Tottenham are currently 5th on the log, but on a bad run during which time they have only taken 1 point from the 12 they have played for. Last time out they drew 3-3 away at Manchester City. Their last 2 home games have been defeats to Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Goals have flowed in Tottenham matches and over 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in their last 5 matches and 2 of those games have reached the 5 goal mark. Tottenham have lost their last 2 home matches having won their opening 4 in front of their own fans.
West Ham are 9th on the log after a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at home on the weekend and they have taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for. Their last away game was a 2-1 win over Burnley and that broke a 3 match losing streak on the road.
Over 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in 5 of the last 7 West Ham matches and both teams have found the back of the net in 6 of those games.
Tottenham beat West Ham 2-0 in this fixture last season and the reverse fixture finished 1-1.
Tottenham are the 8/10 favourites here, but that looks a bit short given their current form and I prefer to turn to the goal markets. Goals have been flowing in both of these sides matches, but in particular Tottenham’s and I am going to bet that we get 4 goals or more.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 5/4
