Saturday 8 April
Manchester United 9/20 | Draw 36/10 | Everton 58/10 (13:30)
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 13/20 | Draw 29/10 | Nottingham Forest 4/1 (16:00)
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 22/10 | Draw 24/10 | Newcastle 5/4 (16:00)
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 9/10.
Fulham 33/20 | Draw 23/10 | West Ham 17/10 (16:00)
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 11/10 is a gift.
Wolves 28/10 | Draw 49/20 | Chelsea 1/1 (16:00)
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 15/20.
Tottenham 5/2 | Draw 7/2 | Brighton 14/5 (16:00)
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 7/10 | Draw 29/10 | Bournemouth 4/1 (16:00)
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 10/1 | Draw 48/10 | Manchester City 2/7 (18:30)
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 7/10.
