And betting tips:
Arsenal v Sunderland
Still waiting for that collapse, but the Gunners are actually bouncing back from disappointing results. It’s as if they’ve got some sort of mental resolve… Sunderland are doing well at the moment but it’s got to be the home win. 1/3 on that is probably fair enough but I’m steering clear of the handicaps, reckon it’ll be tight. Oxlade-Chamberlain to score any time at 7/4 could be a goer though.
Prediction: 1-0 (6/1)
Cardiff v Hull
We all know it’s gonna be 0-0, so let’s just leave it there yeah?
Prediction: 0-0 (13/2)
Man City v Stoke
City haven’t been racking up rugby scores for a little while now, so have a look at fewer than 2.5 match goals at 17/10 or them not scoring 3+ at 21/20. Both seem better options than 12/5 on 4.5+. And with Stoke being as long as 18/1 for the win, you can get a pretty generous 29/20 on them with a +2 handicap. The likely scorers are all odds-on in the anytimes so I’m leaving that alone.
Prediction: 2-0 (11/2)
West Brom v Fulham
Felix Magath is by all accounts a psychopath, so I fancy him to scare Fulham in to getting at least a point here. The away double chance looks great value at evens, as does the score draw at 15/4. Anyone would think that West Brom were world-beaters… Is Kostas Mitroglou fit yet? If he starts, get yourself on the 15/8 for him to score any time.
Prediction: 1-1 (13/2)
West Ham v Southampton
Surprised the Hammers aren’t favourites for this one. They’ve been in great form lately and the Saints looked bloody awful at Sunderland last week. The home win at 21/10 might have to be one for the danger-acca, but with BTTS it’s 5/1, and that’s worth a go on it’s own. Kevin Nolan will probably score again (2/1 any time) and as always… Jay Rodriguez to score first, 5/1.
Prediction: 2-1 (10/1)
