Premiership Non Live Games 24th Nov

Published: 24/11/2012

The biggest mystery of the game between Man United and QPR this weekend is not so much the result (a clear home win) rather what Tony Fernandez is doing. After supporting Mark Hughes come Monday he changed his mind and sacked him Friday. Harry Redknapp as of writing is expected to take over QPR in time for the game Tuesday with Sunderland.

As for this game United will be looking to bounce back from a loss at Norwich last weekend and are 1/5 (ladbrokes) to do so with a victory. The Red Devils have won 12 and lost just one of their last 14 home games in the Premier League while QPR have taken just three points from their last 19 away games in the league. Head to head meetings are not kind to the London side with them winning none of their last 13 against United (losing ten of these). Those who think QPR can get something out of this game can get a draw at 36/5 (pinnacle) and a Rangers victory at 16/1 (general).

I think the price on the Man U win is a little short but I can’t argue anything other than an easy home win. The best way to enhance the price could be in taking the 5/4 (paddy Power/Coral) on United to win both halves.

Everton will go into the game with Norwich without influential midfielder Marouane Fellaini as the Belgian is suspended. The Toffees will look to bounce back from a defeat to Reading last week with a victory over a Norwich side who beat Man Utd last weekend. The Canaries are no pushovers as that win saw them go six games unbeaten in all competitions. I can not be backing Everton at 1/2(BetVictor/pinnacle) as this looks too short. Those who think Norwich can get something out of this game can get 11/3 (pinnacle) the draw or a Norwich victory is 7/1 (Totesport/betfred). The best bet here may be in taking the Canaries to net first at 14/5 (Blue Sq/888 Sport) as Norwich have conceded the opening goal in just one of their last six league games while Everton have conceded the opener in seven of their last eight in all competitions.

If ever a game looked like ending in a draw this weekend then it is in the game between Stoke and Fulham. Stoke are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home games though they have drawn seven of these. Fulham meanwhile have drawn three of their last four in the league. The draw is a best priced 32/13 (Pinnacle) while a Stoke win is 16/13 (Pinnacle) and a Fulham win is 11/4 (Coral).

Wigan disappointed against Liverpool last weekend and will be looking to bounce back at 10/11 (general). I can not be getting involved at that price, Wigan can spring shocks against big teams however they are not the kind of team to be siding with at 10/11 as they have won just one of their last six league games at the DW stadium. The draw at 11/4 (Totesport/betfred) or the Reading win at 123/35 (Pinnacle) might appeal to some especially after the Royals saw off Everton last weekend. I’ve mentioned before that Wigan are a lot more attacking at home than away from home and this is shown in how many goals they leak. They have conceded two goals to teams like West Brom and Stoke not known for their high scoring. I think Coral must be taken up on their generous offer of 12/5 on the over 1.5 Reading goals.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Man Utd to win both halves v QPR, 5/4 (paddy Power/Coral)
SILVER: Reading to score over 1.5 goals v Wigan, 12/5 (Coral)
BRONZE: Norwich to score first v Everton, 14/5 (Blue Sq/888 Sport)
