Saturday 8 April
Manchester United 12/25 | Draw 16/5 | Everton 11/2 (12:30)
Admittedly, it is a scary picture to look at the average performance from United since their EFL Cup win. I mean, in honesty, had this game been played at Goodison Park, Everton might have made for a stronger case here. Nevertheless, I think United win.
Aston Villa 8/13 | Draw 3/1 | Nottingham Forest 21/5 (15:00)
When it comes to Forest of late, a lot has been made of Morgan Gibbs-White and his tensions with Wolves. Outside of that, the real concern for Forest will surely be their relegation threat…
Villa will come into this game with an incredible amount of confidence, and I think they can back up their win against Chelsea with another successful run out against Forest.
Brentford 5/2 | Draw 12/5 | Newcastle 21/20 (15:00)
Brentford remain a contender for a European place in my opinion, they have been fantastic this season! They compete with teams who dwarf their club on paper and beat those on their so-called level.
Newcastle outplayed Manchester United for large parts of their game but didn’t show the same conviction thereafter. For me, both teams scoring here is a banker. Get on at 77/100.
Fulham 17/10 | Draw 85/40 | West Ham 8/5 (15:00)
This is a tricky game to try and navigate. Fulham are a difficult side to try and break down, whilst West Ham are beginning to show off their most daring relegation escape. I wouldn’t advise even trying to find a winner – Under 2.5 goals at 8/11 is a gift.
Wolves 3/1 | Draw 12/5 | Chelsea 10/11 (15:00)
Difficult to assume which Chelsea side show up for this game. Graham Potter’s dismissal comes at a time where even those with an undying love toward the club might be split in terms of this decision.
I don’t need to say again that the ability and quality which makes up this squad is almost silly!
Wolves will play with their tails up here; I doubt they will fear their visitors and given the support of their home fans; I think they could come away with something here. Back the home Win/Draw Double Chance at 17/20.
Tottenham 6/4 | Draw 5/2 | Brighton 13/8 (15:00)
This is another potentially tricky affair for us to plot. Spurs are once again the poster boys for inconsistency and given Brighton’s unrelenting commitment to expansive play – teams (I feel) are beginning to work them out. I’m not entirely confident, but Spurs seem to be playing with a seriously reduced amount of pressure – back them to claim all three points.
Leicester City 87/100 | Draw 13/5 | Bournemouth 3/1 (15:00)
Bournemouth took advantage of a Fulham side not quite equipped with their best players – and fair play to them. Leicester fell short of success against Palace, but I wouldn’t read too much into that result to be fair.
With that being said, Bournemouth can be a difficult side to contain. They are happy to play exclusively on the counter and know how to hurt opposition. I wouldn’t look past them here.
Southampton 11/1 | Draw 5/1 | Manchester City 24/100 (17:30)
I would have loved to make comments on where Southampton might be able to hurt City…however, it would almost certainly just invalidate the entire piece. The Saints cannot match their visitors anywhere on the field, they will not be able to contain their attacking prowess and even at set pieces they are in danger of being hurt.
I know football isn’t played on paper, or with just reason, but I think City hurt Southampton here. Both teams scoring (no) is available at 13/20.
