BOURNEMOUTH VS BRENTFORD
Bournemouth were the sole selection as we went 9/10 last week but there's reason to believe we can bounce back with goals on the south coast.
At home, three of the Cherries last five have produced over 2.5 match goals, with all five seeing both teams find the back of the net. As a neutral, you are never bored tuning in to watch Bournemouth at home.
The same can be said when watching Brentford on their travels, who arrive having won four in a row, including a 4-3 win last weekend against Burnley.
Both free flowing attacks should provide entertainment - and the goals should flow once more.
Betting Tip: BTTS Yes and over 2.5 – 4/5 –
BetMGM
EVERTON VS BURNLEY
Everton return home after an emphatic 3-2 win against Newcastle on the road - but now they need to start performing in front of their own fans.
It has been three months since Everton supporters witnessed a home win (Nottingham Forest, 6th December), failing to win any of their following seven matches.
Only two of those produced over 2.5 goals, but perhaps that can change against a Burnley side that hasn't given up just yet. Three of their last five have seen the over 2.5 line hit, including their 4-3 loss at the weekend vs Brentford.
The Clarets have only won one of their last five - which will give Everton hope - but Burnley have been more attacking of late, and goals has been underestimated in this one.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals – 10/11 –
High Bet
LEEDS VS SUNDERLAND
Leeds will look to shake off their 1-0 home defeat at the weekend vs Man City when Sunderland make the trip to Yorkshire on Tuesday.
Daniel Farke's side have only lost three of their last 10 at home - and against Villa, Arsenal and Man City, those results can be excused. Previous wins over Forest and Fulham make them competitive - and no doubt Elland Road will be rocking.
Sunderland are slowly improving on their travels - including a good point last time out vs Bournemouth. But with just seven goals from 14 matches, they may struggle to make it three unbeaten on the road. The hosts can get back on top.
Betting Tip: Leeds to win – 10/11 –
247 Bet
WOLVES VS LIVERPOOL
Wolves may be almost down and out but with just one loss from their last five, Rob Edwards has transformed their performances on the pitch - and Liverpool may struggle to pick them off.
The visitors arrive having won their last four matches in a row - but their last two Premier League away wins came by a one goal margin against Sunderland and Forest.
The visitors are a short price to continue their good form - and while that might be the case - Wolves have been a little underestimated and their +1.5 handicap line appeals - especially after their strong result against rivals Aston Villa.
Betting Tip: Wolves +1.5 Handicap – 7/10 –
BetMGM
ASTON VILLA VS CHELSEA
Both Villa and Chelsea will be looking to shake off defeats last weekend and get back on track as they look to secure Champions League football.
But with just one win in five for Unai Emery's side, the wheels are coming off at the wrong time. Chelsea, on the other hand, are struggling for consistency on the road (W3 L2) - but what has been consistent is goals - at both ends of the pitch.
Four of those five have produced over 2.5 goals and with the reverse fixture producing three, as have the last five head-to-heads, it is safer to stick with goals rather than looking to find a winner.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals – 8/11 –

BRIGHTON VS ARSENAL
The league leaders continued to maintain their five point gap over Man City with a huge 2-1 win at home to Chelsea on Sunday. That extended their unbeaten run to nine, and the Gunners will be looking to make it three wins in a row once more this season.
Brighton enter the match having won two games in a row themselves - turning a corner after failing to win any of their previous six. And although those wins - and performances - were strong, they should be put back in their place by Mikel Arteta's men.
Arsenal have been incredible on the road - and with Brighton's performances being rather inconsistent, an early goal could really dampen the mood on the south coast. Arsenal are too strong - away win.
Betting Tip: Arsenal to win – 13/20 –
247 Bet
MAN CITY VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Man City continue to hunt down Arsenal for the title and have an easy looking fixture on Wednesday evening. Pep Guardiola's side have won their last seven home matches - six of those have come by a two goal margin - scoring at least two in each of those games.
Forest fell to their third away defeat from their last five games - and although only one (Leeds) saw them lose by a two goal margin, they haven't faced anyone quite on the same level as Man City for quite some time on the road.
This bet has landed comfortably in all three matches since Forest were promoted back to the Premier League - and it's arguably my strongest pick of the round.
Betting Tip: Man City -1.5 Handicap - EVS –
247 Bet
NEWCASTLE VS MAN UNITED
Newcastle's poor campaign continues after their 3-2 home loss against Everton, but they don't have much time to pick themselves back up before facing Man United.
At home, they have lost three of their last five, conceding 10 in the process. St. James' Park is far from the fortress it was earlier in the campaign.
Michael Carrick's side are unbeaten in seven matches (W6 D1) scoring at least two goals in five of those games. And that's another popular pick this round. Both teams are capable of breaching each others defences, and this looks to be another game that can provide plenty of entertainment.
An early goal should set the tone, and both teams can find the back of the net in this one.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals and BTTS Yes – 10/11 –
BetMGM
SPURS VS CRYSTAL PALACE
Two sides in trouble lock horns on Thursday evening - albeit with the pressure more so on the hosts. After their 2-1 loss against Fulham, that's now four consecutive defeats in a row for Spurs who simply cannot buy a win at present.
With just one point from their last five matches, something needs to give, but even against Crystal Palace at home, it's hard to get behind the hosts.
But their goal trend continues, and over 2.5, which had landed in each of their last five is a generous price once again. Palace can cause Spurs issues, but the hosts must start to show more in front of goal if they are to avoid the drop. Back goals in this intriguing clash.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals – 4/5–
