And betting tips:
Cardiff v Liverpool
Some signs of life from Cardiff lately, but I can’t see them getting anywhere near the Scousers here. The best you can hope is that they might have a consolation in them, so the away win with BTTS at 7/4 might be worth a go. Beyond that, it’s a case of how many for Liverpool. 3+ shouldn’t be a problem at a reasonable 23/20 and 10/3 on Sturridge getting the first of them aint bad either.
Prediction: 1-3 (10/1)
Everton v Swansea
The Toffees made hard work of it against Cardiff last week and I can see this one being tight as well. They’ll most likely win of course but 8/13’s not really doing it. 27/10 with BTTS is better though and the score draw’s yours at 4/1 if you’re feeling adventurous. In the scorers have a look at Bony, 9/4 any time.
Prediction: 2-1 (15/2)
Hull v West Brom
Time was a 1-0 home win for Hull was pretty much nailed on, but they’ve not won in 5 at the KC, and conceded 10 along the way. Pepe Mel loves a draw so lets back West Brom to nick a point at 23/10. I’ve got a feeling there’ll be goals though so might have a nibble on 3.5+ at 18/5. Long (against his former club) and Jelavic seem the most likely to get them, both are 6/4 any time.
Prediction: 2-2 (20/1)
Man City v Fulham
Been a while since City put 5 or 6 past a side… 1/7 for the win’s no good so it’ll have to be the -3 handicap at 11/5. 4.5+ match goals at 17/10 looks pretty good too. David Silva played a blinder last weekend so get on him to score first at 5/1 or 11/ any time. No Kompany for the home side though, so BTTS, EVS.
Prediction: 5-1 (20/1)
Newcastle v Crystal Palace
Palace ground out a 0-0 at Sunderland last week and I can see them getting something here too against a Newcastle side without Loic Remy or a manager in the stadium. The draw’s 5/2, away win 10/3 and at 17/20 the double chance might even be worth a look if you’re feeling super cautious. 17/10 on fewer than 1.5 match goals is the one for me though.
Prediction: 0-0 (17/2)
Norwich v Sunderland
Quite a few times this season Chris Hughton has looked to be on the verge of the sack, only to keep the wolf from the door with a narrow victory that allows him to stumble on for a few more weeks. This could be one of them, just don’t expect a classic. Going for less than 1.5 again, at 17/10, again.
Prediction: 1-0 (6/1)
