Premier League Preview 12th May

With five games set to kick-off on Sunday at 15.00 (GMT) here is our guide to the best of the best from these matches.

Everton take on West Ham in what will be the last home game in charge for David Moyes. I think the Hammers are worth taking to get something out of this game at 11/2 (CORAL) in the draw no bet market. The news that Moyes will be headed for Man United will be a distraction while West Ham know that Sam Allardyce will still be around next season and will have no such distractions.

Fulham take on Liverpool and it is the Merseyside club who look the value here at 11/10 (BETVICTOR/paddy Power/william hill). Fulham have lost each of their last four and look badly out of sorts while Liverpool have lost just one of their last seven away games in the league. Though the draw is a risk at these odds I think this is a chance worth taking. Liverpool beat Fulham 4-0 earlier in the season and a similar scoreline would not shock me here.

Norwich take on West Brom with the Canaries desperate for all three points in a bid to secure their Premier League safety. The East Anglian side can count themselves very unluky to have not got at least a point from Aston Villa last weekend and can thank Swansea that they have their fate back in their own hands. I would think Norwich can get all three points though at 5/4 (william hill) I would not be rushing to back them. As Kei Kamara has gone Simeon Jackson looks to be the second Norwich striker once more and is 10/1 (888 SPORT) to score the last goal which could be the selection. Jackson has a history of dramatic late goals and he could be called on off the bench to do the business once more.

QPR take on Newcastle with the Magpies desperate for all three points. The North Eastern side can be backed at 11/8 (BETVICTOR/william hill) and with the Londoners relegated I expect many will be keen to back this. A word of caution though Newcastle are really short of confidence and have gone 262 minutes without scoring a goal. QPR meanwhile have gone 365 minutes without a goal so this does not look to be a classic for the neutral. Throw in the fact that just two goals have been scored in the last three league matches between these sides and this game screams a lack of goals. I think then that the prices for under 2.5 goals represent value at just under evens (19/20-GENERAL). I could also not put people off taking under 1.5 goals also at 29/10 (BETVICTOR).

Sunderland take on Southampton in a game that would see either side safe if they pickup all three points (Sunderland have a much superior goal difference to Wigan). Bookmakers are struggling to split the pair with Sunderland a best priced 9/5 (bet365/BETVICTOR/WILLIAM HILL while Southampton are 19/10 (paddy Power/WILLIAM HILL) and the draw is 23/10 (SKYBET/BETVICTOR/888 SPORT). The bet in this game is in the goalscorer market where I think a lot of value can be had in backing Danny Rose. The full-back has been the standout player of the season for Sunderland and netted two games ago before going very close last time out against Swansea. Rose is 33/1 (bet365) to score first though take the each-way option as this firm pay out a third the odds on unlimited scorers.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Liverpool to beat Fulham, 11/10 (BETVICTOR/paddy Power/WILLIAM HILL)
SILVER: West Ham to beat Everton, draw no bet, 11/2 (CORAL)
BRONZE: Danny Rose EW to score first v Southampton, 33/1 (bet365)
