Non Live Premier League Previews

This Saturday sees five 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League with Fulham against Everton arguably the most intriguing. Everton hold the advantage in recent head-to-head meetings going unbeaten in the last six clashes (winning the last four). It is 17/10 (Totesport/betfred) that the Toffees win this one. Fulham though have lost just one of their last eight home games in the Premier League (and this was to Man City) it is 20/11 (pinnacle) a home win here. The draw might be the best as this has been the result in the last three Everton games while Fulham have drawn two of their last three. The draw is available at 5/2 (pinnacle).

Another game that could end in a draw is the encounter between Norwich and Stoke which is available at 26/11 (Pinnacle). Norwich have lost just one of their last five league games at Carrow Road while Stoke have drawn a league high six league games this season. This game also looks one for the under 2.5 goals market which has been seen in five of the last six Stoke games and six of the last eight Norwich games. The best price on this is the 3/4 (Pinnacle/32 Red) are offering though this looks a little short for my liking.

Sunderland take on Aston Villa this weekend as Martin O’Neill goes up against his former side and one of his management proteges in Paul Lambert. Bookmakers make Sunderland 22/19 (Pinnacle) for victory here while the draw is a best priced 41/17 (Pinnacle) and a Villa win is 3/1 (Blue Sq/888 Sport/ladbrokes). Villa failed to impress against Norwich last week while Sunderland have been struggling for a few weeks, scraping a draw againt ten men Newcastle, battling to a draw with Stoke and losing to local rivals Middlesbrough in the League Cup. Villa will not be afraid of the trip to the Stadium of Light as they have lost just one of their last six here. Christian Benteke has scored five in his last five in all competitions and appeals at 10/1 (BWin) in the first scorer market or 15/4 (BWin) to score at anytime.

Influential playmaker Juan Mata is likely to miss the game with Swansea after his exploits in the League Cup in midweek. It is 6/7 (32 Red) that Chelsea bounce back from the disappointment after their loss to Man Utd with victory here. The London side have lost just one of their last eight away from home in the league. Swansea though have a good home record losing just one one of their last eight league home games. Those who think the Welsh side can get something out of the game can get 14/5 (general) the draw or 4/1 (Blue Sq/888 Sport/ladbrokes). I like the look of Chelsea at evens (william hill) in the race to two goals market. Chelsea have scored twice in each of their last four games while Swansea will be without injured keeper Michael Vorm.

November 1 2009 is a day that Tottenham fans and Wigan fans alike will not forget for very different reasons. This is was the day that the North London side hammered Wigan 9-1. A repeat of that scoreline is highly unlikely Saturday however it is hard to see past another Tottenham win. Spurs are 1/2(general) which seems a little short too me and it would make more sense to take Jermain Defoe (11 goals in ten games against Wigan) and a Tottenham win in the score/win double market which is 6/4 (betfred) or Tottenham win and Gareth Bale to score anytime at 13/5 (BlueSq/888 Sport) as the Welshman has netted in the last two Tottenham games.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Fulham and Everton to end in a draw, 5/2 (Pinnacle)
SILVER: Chelsea in the race to two goals v Swansea, Evens (william hill)
BRONZE: Christian Benteke to score v Sunderland, 10/1 1st (BWin) or 15/4 (Bwin) anytime.
