WEST BROM V MAN UNITED Saturday 8th March, 12:45, BT SPORT 1

The Red Devils are the 3/4 (BETVICTOR/WINNER) favourites for the game against a Baggies side that have won just one of their last 17. The Midlands side have drawn their last four at home and the game to end all square is 11/4 (GENERAL) while West Brom to repeat their feat at Old Trafford and get all three points is a 21/5 (BETVICTOR) chance. The best bet is the YES in the both teams to score market as this has paid in six of the last nine West Brom home games (including each of the last four) while United have only failed to find the net in one of their last 12 league games.
RECOMMENDATION: YES both teams to score, 19/20 (betfair SPORTSBOOK)

CARDIFF V FULHAM Saturday 8th March, 15:00, NON LIVE

Neither of these sides can manage a win with Cardiff winning just one of their last 12 in the Premier League while Fulham have won just two of their last 13. That being said of the two it is the London side who are showing the most signs of life and I think they should be backed here in the draw no bet market. Defeats to Chelsea and Liverpool can be excused while draws at Man United and West Brom suggest signs of life while the only thing the Bluebirds have done is defeat Norwich after the Canaries fell asleep for five minutes. Take Fulham to get a vital three points and look to condemn Cardiff to near certain relegation.
RECOMMENDATION: Fulham, draw no bet v Cardiff, 13/10 (BETVICTOR)

CRYSTAL PALACE V SOUTHAMPTON Saturday 8th March, 15:00, NON LIVE

The worst of the bet of the weekend has to be taking the 5/4 (paddy Power/ladbrokes) on the Saints to get all three points against Palace. Southampton should be playing in the FA Cup quarter finals but ow the Saints have nothing to play for and should not be backed against a side who have won three of their last four at home. I could not put anyone off the Eagles at 11/4 (BETVICTOR) or the draw at 23/10 (GENERAL).

Palace have scored 21% of their goals in the opening 15 minutes, a Premier League high, so have a little interest on them to score before the 38th minute.
RECOMMENDATION: Palace to score before 38th minute, 85/40 (BETVICTOR)

NORWICH V STOKE Saturday 8th March, 15:00, NON LIVE

Pity the poor Match of the Day producer who has to edit this game for highlights, the Canaries have scored just 12 goals at home all season and conceded 11. Stoke meanwhile have netted just ten times on their travels, this does not look like being a classic. The Canaries are 5/4 (TOTESPORT/betfred/BETVICTOR) though an inability to net goals is a real problem while you can not be siding with a Potters side with no win in their last 12 away games. It is a game both teams will mark for three points and I make this a no bet game.
RECOMMENDATION: NO BET

CHELSEA V TOTTENHAM Saturday 8th March, 17:30, SKY SPORTS 1

Chelsea have won more points at home in the Premier League (38) than any other side this season and they can be backed at 8/13 (ladbrokes. Tottenham are with 6/1 (BETVICTOR) for the victory while the draw is a 3/1 (GENERAL) chance.

Andre Schurrie was given licence to get forward from midfield and into the box and against Fulham last weekend netted a hat-trick. The German looks value to net again against a Tottenham side that will come to attack.
RECOMMENDATION: Andre Schurrie to net anytime v Tottenham, 12/5 (bet365)
