December is the month for gift giving and the Premier League schedulers have given fans a proper present here. Four of England’s top six will be in action on Wednesday night – read our match preview for Manchester United vs Arsenal here.
Away from that Old Trafford encounter, there are plenty of Premier League fixtures to get stuck into. Everton are the main act in our 10/1 four-fold according to the latest 888sport odds…
Burnley vs LIVERPOOL
Burnley are without a win in seven Premier League games and the Clarets faithful will be fearing the worst ahead of this clash. The hosts have scored in just three of those games…
Sean Dyche’s men are languishing down in the relegation zone and Burnley will need plenty of luck to stand any chance of picking up a positive result here. 19/20 for over 0.5 Clarets goals may be the tip from a Burnley perspective.
Jurgen Klopp might have just about calmed down after Sunday’s Merseyside derby winner over Everton. Liverpool fans will be hoping that their side can build on Divock Origi’s last-gasp goal…
After 14 Premier League games in 2018/19, the Reds are still unbeaten – an incredible feat. Plenty of punters will fancy Liverpool at 7/10 on the -1 handicap on Wednesday night.
Burnley’s form is concerning and Liverpool will be smelling blood. Take the 19/20 for the Reds to win comfortably without conceding a goal at Turf Moor.
TIP: Liverpool to win to nil @ 19/20
PREDICTED SCORE: Burnley 0-2 Liverpool (Priced at 6/1 with 888sport)
EVERTON vs Newcastle United
A moment of madness from Jordan Pickford cost Everton dearly in the Merseyside derby on Sunday evening but the Toffees will be confident of bouncing back at the first time of asking.
Everton have lost just three of their last 21 Premier League home games – an excellent run to say the least. Marco Silva’s men are a solid pick at 11/20 to claim three points at Goodison Park.
Newcastle had won three on the spin before falling short at home to West Ham on Saturday afternoon. The Magpies will be looking to get back to winning ways after that disappointing defeat.
Rafa Benitez will have his troops fired up for this visit to Merseyside. 4/6 for Newcastle to score over 0.5 goals is worth a second look – the away side have the quality to create a few chances.
Everton have ‘won to nil’ against Newcastle in each of their last five meetings. The Toffees seem to have their number and I fancy the 7/10 for over 1.5 home goals on another positive night for Silva’s men.
TIP: Over 1.5 Everton goals @ 7/10
PREDICTED SCORE: Everton 2-1 Newcastle (Priced at 7/1 with 888sport)
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs CHELSEA
Wolves have lost five of their last six Premier League games – their only point during that run surprisingly came against high-flying Arsenal.
The Molineux faithful won’t be expecting a win in this fixture but a positive result could be on the cards. 11/10 for Wolves to avoid defeat represents solid value if you fancy Chelsea to slip up on Wednesday night.
Chelsea’s unbeaten run is over but the Blues are still in contention for a shock title triumph. It would be some achievement if Maurizio Sarri can get Chelsea over the finishing line in his maiden campaign in English football.
Eden Hazard has been simply sublime this season and the Belgian could be the difference in this clash. 13/10 for the Blues star to get his name on the scoresheet is a solid price.
Taking everything into account, opting for both teams to score at 41/50 may be the best bet here. It should be an entertaining contest under the Molineux floodlights…
TIP: Both teams to score @ 41/50
PREDICTED SCORE: Wolves 2-2 Chelsea (Priced at 13/1 with 888sport)
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Southampton
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were on the wrong side of the result in Sunday’s north London derby but this is the ideal opportunity for Tottenham to get back to winning ways.
Spurs are still on the cusp of the top four and plenty of punters will expect the hosts to run riot against managerless Southampton. The 7/5 available for over 2.5 Tottenham goals should be snapped up.
Saints threw away a two-goal lead against Manchester United – more dropped points from a winning position was enough to see Mark Hughes lose his job at the helm.
Expecting Southampton to prevail would be foolish. With no new manager bounce as of yet, 47/20 for the visitors to win OR draw is a little short. This could get ugly for the Saints…
With almost every sign pointing towards a Tottenham victory, that’s the way we are going to go. 3/4 for Spurs to take a lead into the break is a decent price.
TIP: Spurs to be winning at half-time @ 3/4
PREDICTED SCORE: Spurs 2-0 Southampton (Priced at 7/1 with 888sport)
