NEWCASTLE UNITED v EVERTON– Click here to bet
Newcastle United currently occupies 8th spot with 43 points on the table. It was a massive performance from the Magpies over the weekend. Having trailed 3-1 at one stage to West Ham, only to overcome the deficit and win 4-3 after an inspired substitution from Eddie Howe, bringing on Harvey Barnes. This win means they are now just 1 point behind the Hammers with the luxury of a game in hand, boasting ten wins, two draws, and three losses, resulting in a positive 19 goal difference at St James’ Park this season.
Everton visit St James’ Park having tasted defeat for the third time running this past weekend, losing 2-1 to Bournemouth, extending their winless run to twelve in the EPL. The Toffees now find themselves 16th on the table with 25 points, just 3 points above the dreaded relegation zone. Away from home, Everton have shown mixed results, having won five, drawn three, and lost seven times, reflecting a negative 8-goal difference on their travels this season.
Everton won the reverse fixture 3-0 this season with Newcastle overcoming Everton in this fixture 1-0 last season.
It was a massive performance from Newcastle over the weekend, keeping their European aspirations alive. Despite their growing injury concerns, the Toon Army will be confident they can get the job done against a rather toothless Toffees unit at the minute.
Recommended Bet: Full Time Result, Newcastle United at 1/1
NOTTINGHAM FOREST v FULHAM– Click here to bet
Nottingham Forest is currently 17th on the table with 22 points. Despite earning a point in their recent 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, they will know that time is very much against them if they are to overturn their recently docked points in the hopes of avoiding the drop come the end of the season. At home, Forest has managed to obtain just four wins, four draws, and seven losses this season and more worryingly reflect a negative 2-goal difference at City Ground.
Fulham will enter City Ground knowing that this past weekend was a missed opportunity to apply pressure on those above them, having dropped two points against a rather desperate Sheffield United team. The Blades took a surprising 3-1 lead in the 70th minute, only for the
Cottagers to claw themselves back to a 3-3 draw in the 93rd minute. Currently 12th on the table with 39 points, Fulham will be hoping to improve their below-par away record this Tuesday, as they have managed just two victories, five draws, and eight losses on their travels this season.
Fulham won the reverse fixture earlier this season 5-0, as well as 3-2 in this fixture last season.
Despite Fulham’s lacklustre performances on the road, they do boast a very good record against Forest. Having registered five wins from their last six head-to-head encounters, the hosts will know they face an uphill battle here. Forest will be desperate for maximum points, which could be to their detriment, knowing risks will have to be taken somewhere along the line, potentially playing nicely into the visitors’ hands.

BURNLEY v WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS– Click here to bet
Burnley host Wolves this coming Tuesday at Turf Moor, currently occupying 19th spot on the log with 18 points. It was a brave performance from the Clarets over the weekend, having earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw away to Chelsea despite going a man down along with their manager. Saturday’s draw means they have now gone unbeaten in their last three encounters, having obtained 5 crucial points with one win and two draws in the league. If they are to avoid the drop, more will be expected, especially at home, where they have just registered two wins to date.
Wolves make the trip to Turf Moor this coming Tuesday, occupying 10th spot on the table with 41 points. Off the back of a 2-0 loss away to Aston Villa over the weekend, the visitors will be hoping to get their campaign back on track, having registered three losses in their last four outings, as well as back-to-back defeats away from home in the league. Head coach Gary O’Neil will be hoping to improve two crucial stats this coming week: their abysmal recent record against Burnley and their away record, having registered five wins, two draws, and eight losses away from Molineux Stadium this season.
Wolves managed to win 1-0 in the reverse fixture this season, marking their first victory over the Clarets in their last eight attempts.
With four home games left for Burnley, every point will be treated as gold if they are to avoid relegation. Showing signs of improvement, the Clarets will hope Wolves continue their recent trend on the road. With a decent record against Wolves, Burnley will be hoping for the same this Tuesday. Expect a tight game.
Recommended Bet: Double Chance And Totals, Burnley/Draw And Under 4,5 at 15/20
BOURNEMOUTH v CRYSTAL PALACE– Click here to bet
Bournemouth, currently 13th on the log with 38 points, will host Crystal Palace on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 win over Everton, requiring a late winner in the 91st minute to secure all
three points. That result marked their second victory in three matches and, more importantly, extended their unbeaten run to four games, with three wins and one draw. At home, the Cherries have shown mixed results, making it difficult to ascertain with five wins, five draws, and five losses to date. However, they have managed to obtain seven points from a possible nine in their last three league appearances at the Vitality Stadium, suggesting an upswing at the moment.
Crystal Palace, occupying 14th position on the table with 30 points, arrive at Vitality Stadium on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest. The Eagles are currently 8 points ahead of the relegation zone and will look to improve their position in the table to avoid unnecessary complications, knowing that just eight games are left this season. With back-to-back draws in the league, Palace continues to rebuild in a positive manner. Away from home, the visitors have registered three wins, five draws, and seven losses. There will be concerns regarding their defensive frailties, having conceded an average of 1.93 goals per game on their travels.
Bournemouth won the reverse fixture 2-0 this season, with Palace returning the favour with the same 2-0 scoreline in last season’s fixture.
The Cherries look the way to go here having performed well at home lately. With two wins and one draw, averaging 2.66 goals per game in their last three league appearances. The hosts will be optimistic of their chances despite taking on a team that is difficult to break down given the amount of draws they’ve been involved in. Home win for me
Recommended Bet: Full Time Result, Bournemouth at 9/10
WEST HAM v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR– Click here to bet
West Ham, currently 7th on the table, are 12 points behind London rivals, Spurs. David Moyes and his team will be disappointed after their performance against Newcastle this weekend. Despite taking a 3-1 lead, they ended up losing 4-3 after a sudden collapse in the final minutes. Now, they’ll be looking to bounce back at home this Tuesday, where they’ve registered six wins, six draws, and three losses at London Stadium this season.
Tottenham currently sit 5th on the table with 56 points. They head to London Stadium after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Luton Town, bouncing back from a defeat against Fulham the previous week. With twelve points from their last six league matches, they’re keeping their Champions League aspirations very much alive, as they’re just three points behind 4th-placed Aston Villa. Away from home, Spurs have been consistent, tallying six wins, five draws, and three losses so far.
West Ham won the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier this season, while these two teams finished all square with a 1-1 draw in this fixture last season.
West Ham will be furious after their recent performance at St James’ Park. Meanwhile, Spurs persist despite making their own challenges. This weekend marked the fifth time they’ve conceded first in their last six league matches, a concern that needs urgent attention. It’s a crucial game for both teams, where neither can afford to lose. Given the circumstances, I’m leaning towards the hosts, as Spurs may struggle to recover if they concede first again.
Recommended Bet: Double Chance, West Ham/Draw at 7/10
