IT\’S not the best of Premier League fixtures this week with just four matches and all the big guns playing in the FA Cup.
The most difficult match to call – according to the bookies – as the clash at the Vitality Stadium between Bournemouth and West Ham.
The Cherries ended a four-match losing run with a battling 1-1 draw at Old Trafford and manager Eddie Howe must still be scratching his head to just how his side managed a point.
They played much of the game with 10 men and United should\’ve put FIVE past them by half-time and I am surprised that they are a general 2.62 for this match.
Despite the draw, the sea-siders haven\’t won in their last nine matches and will be without suspended duo Andrew Surman and Tyrone Mings as well as the injured Callum Wilson.
West Ham did lose 2-0 at home to Chelsea on Monday night but prior to that their form has been good with just one defeat in six and with four wins on the road in their last six away matches the general 2.8 on another road win looks a big price.
RONALD Koeman has been heavily linked with the Barcelona job this week and he will want to show his credentials when his Everton side host West Brom at Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Toffees\’ came unstuck at White Hart Lane last weekend but they did manage to score two goals in north London something that no other side has managed to do all season.
At home Everton have now won five of their last six matches and against a West Brom side that lost 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace last weekend and has only won just once in their last seven away games odds of 1.70 on the home side at Green Listed Bookmaker William Hills look well worth taking.
IT\’S a massive match at the bottom of the table when Hull host Swansea at the KC Stadium and despite the bookies finding it hard to find a winner, I have a strong view on this one.
Hull may have slipped back into the relegation zone after their 3-1 defeat at Leicester last weekend but under manager Marco Silva they are one of the most improved sides in the top flight especially at home where they\’ve only lost just once in their last 11 matches (which was against Man City).
Betfred will offer you 2.60 on a home win in this one and that looks a great bet as the two sides have already met twice this season and Hull have won them both 2-0 and another similar scoreline look on the cards.
Swansea produced a battling 3-2 win at home to Burnley last weekend but away from Wales they aren\’t the best of travelers with three defeats in their last four road trips and I am surprised that the money has come for Paul Clement\’s side who are now into just 3.00 for the win.
ONE team, who have let odds-on punters down more than any other side this season is Liverpool and can they be trusted at just 1.25 to beat Burnley on Sunday?
The last eight times that Jurgen Klopp\’s side has been odds-on favourites they\’ve only managed to win on just one occasion and this might be a lot tougher than the bookies are predicting.
Liverpool beat Arsenal last week 3-1 and also beat Tottenham in their last two home games and no side has a better record against the big boys than the Reds\’, but they struggle when the minnows come to town.
Burnley won the reverse fixture at Turf Moor 2-0 and they are 15.0 with BetVictor to do the double on their more illustrious opponents, but I can\’t back that.
Sean Dyche\’s side have one of the best home records in the top flight, but they are shocking on their travels and are still without a win in their 13 Premier League matches and although I can\’t see them winning they will make it tough for the hosts and I like Burnley +1.5 at 2.27 on the Asian handicap with BetVictor.
