SATURDAY
Liverpool v Chelsea 12:45
It's probably best Brendan Rodgers doesn't lose this one. Chelsea haven't looked all that convincing in their last couple of games though, so
maybe there's something in the draw at 5/2. Maybe. Being real though, 10/3 on the away win with a -1 handicap looks like the better bet. Costa's clearly your man in the any times, but EVS aren't the greatest of odds. If Sturridge is fit have a think about him at 15/8.
Prediction: 1-3 (18/1)
Burnley v Hull
Hull at home might look like one of Burnley's more winnable fixtures this season, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen. It's 8/5 vs 15/8 in the outrights, and with that little between them it'll have to be the away. Abel Hernandez looks the most likely scorer, and is decent value at 2/1 any time.
Prediction: 1-2 (10/1)
Man Utd v Crystal Palace
Palace just lost at home to Sunderland. I don't care how many troubles United have of their own, they ought to be winning this comfortably. There's obviously nothing for you in the outrights, but considering the home side's lack of defenders, total goals might be a better shout than the handicaps. 4.5+ seems plausible, especially at 3/1, and if you want to get specific, Di Maria's 2/1 in the any times.
Prediction: 4-2 (40/1)
Southampton v Leicester
How exactly are the Saints not odds-on for a clean sheet here? They've only conceded 5 all season, Leicester aren't scoring many, and yet; 21/20. Worth a look. Should win it as well, though I was hoping for a little better than 23/20 on the -1 handicap. The bookies are catching on. Still, when all else fails, Pelle to score first at 7/2.
Prediction: 2-0 (13/2)
West Ham v Aston Villa
Can't remember a time I was ever more confident of a West Ham win. 8/11 outright really ought to be the first punt on your acca this weekend, and the -1 at 19/10 is causing excitement too. To top it all off, Sakho's 11/8 any time. Money to be made here, chaps...
Prediction: 2-0 (15/2)
QPR v Man City 17:30
Agueroooooaaaaaaah!!!! 4/7 any time, if you were wondering. As much as City are clearly winning, I can see them making hard work of it. That sort of rules out the handicaps and when the outright is 1/2, you've got yourself a problem. Quite like the look of under 2.5 goals at 11/8 though, it'll have to be that.
Prediction: 0-2 (15/2)
SUNDAY
Sunderland v Everton 13:30
A confidence-boosting win against Palace for Sunderland, a gruelling midweek Europa League assignment for Everton; this one's got draw written all over it. Handily, there's some nice odds to be had there (5/2). Lukaku 11/8 any time doesn't look bad either, and if you fancy Steven Fletcher to pick up where he left off, 9/4.
Prediction: 1-1 (6/1)
Tottenham v Stoke 13:30
Stoke are always difficult opponents, and if anyone's going to make hard work of it it's Spurs. Another draw, 11/4 this time. If he starts, then 9/2 on Harry Kane scoring first looks decent, but if he's coming off the bench it'll have to be 11/8 any time.
Prediction: 1-1 (13/2)
West Brom v Newcastle 13:30
And another draw (12/5). I could justify it by talking about how both sides are in great form and how hard it is to pick a winner, but in reality I'm just playing the percentages. Back the Baggies for a stalemate every time, and more often than not you'll come out on top. Should imagine there'll be a few goals in this one though, and 3/5+ is tempting at 5/2. As is Berahino to get the first. 4/1 there or if you're really feeling brave, he's 6/1 to get 2 or more.
Prediction: 2-2 (14/1)
Swansea v Arsenal 16:00
I reckon the Gunners will have been a bit spooked by that midweek collapse to Anderlecht. Not sure just how much joy the Swans will have here but the home win or the draw both look decent at 12/5 and 5/2 respectively. Saying that, Sanchez is still by far the most likely scorer and 6/5 any time is about right. Though if it's proper value you're after, Sigurdsson's 3/1.
Prediction: 2-1 (12/1)
