SATURDAY
Liverpool v Everton 12:45
Liverpool are 10/11 for the win, Everton 10/3. Fair enough really, but after such erratic starts from both sides predicting the result looks a tall order. Should be plenty of goals though, and 10/3 on 4.5+ is all sorts of tempting. If Sturridige is fit he could well be among them, but wait for the team sheets before backing him at 6/5 any time. Rickie Lambert's always good for a fairytale though, so stick a quid on him scoring the last goal (off the bench, the winner, against his boyhood rivals blah blah) at 11/2.
Prediction: 3-2 (20/1)
Chelsea v Aston Villa
Villa have had a pretty good start (last weekend excepted) but Chelsea away? Not gonna happen. Can't see the Blues walking it, mind, and that does present a bit of a problem with the -1 handicap as short as 4/7. Under 2.5 goals might be worth a go at 5/4 but mostly, Diego Costa. 5/2 to score first.
Prediction: 2-0 (5/1)
Crystal Palace v Leicester
Both these sides were involved in high scoring fixtures last weekend, and both pulled off pretty big upsets. Can see them cancelling each other out a bit here though, and so can the bookies by the looks of it. Just 8/11 for under 2.5 goals so you're better off backing Leandro Ulloa at 15/8 any time. Not much between them in the outrights so get on the draw at 9/4.
Prediction: 1-1 (11/2)
Hull v Man City
It's all started to look a bit laboured for City in the league lately, so this probably isn't the best of times to take a trip to Hull. They'll probably still win of course, but the Hull double chance at 7/5 wouldn't the most ridiculous bet, and kind of seems more plausible than 6/4 on City with a -1 handicap. Tough one. Lampard any time at 3/1?
Prediction: 1-2 (15/2)
Man Utd v West Ham
United's defence then. Bit of a concern innit? Especially seeing as West Ham have actually been scoring a few of late. They probably will tomorrow as well, but I fancy United to get more. Steer clear of the handicaps, 20/21 on the home side with the -1 is not where it's at. 11/4 on 4.5+ goals however, is where it's at. Of the players the right side of EVS in the anytimes, Di Maria looks your best bet at 2/1.
Prediction: 4-2 (33/1)
Southampton v QPR
The sort of game Southampton would end up drawing last season. They might still tomorrow of course (10/3) but considering QPR's away form, the home side with a -1 shouldn't give you any trouble at 23/20. The -2's 3/1 and might be worth a go as well. A Saints win to nil though (6/5), that's the best of the lot. Pelle will probably score but he's EVS any time, so have a look at Tadic instead. He's 15/8.
Prediction: 2-0 (6/1)
Sunderland v Swansea
Sunderland have drawn four of their five league games so far this season, and a point would be a decent result for both sides...
Prediction: 1-1 (11/2)
Arsenal v Tottenham 17:30
What better way to cover up your defensive frailties than by playing against a side that failed to score against West Brom, at home, in their last league game? Ideal for Arsenal, this. Home advantage should see them through and the -1 handicap might even (just about) be worth a go too at 19/10. I'll probably leave it, mind. Do have a look at Welbeck to score first though. 9/2's decent value there.
Prediction: 1-0 (15/2)
SUNDAY
West Brom v Burnley 16:00
Five draws between them so far, and not many goals. So...
Prediction: 0-0 (8/1)
MONDAY
Stoke v Newcastle 20:00
Difficult place to go, Stoke. Especially when you're bottom of the table with just 3 points from 5 games and your fans are in full-on-revolt mode. So it's awful surprising to see the home side as long as 23/20 outright. Get it on your acca. The -1 looks safe enough too at 3/1 but 11/5 on the Stoke win to nil could be the bet of the weekend. Crouchie's found a bit of form lately, and he's 7/4 any time.
Prediction: 2-0 (9/1)
