Fulham can get something from key relegation battle with West Brom

MAN CITY v STOKE, Saturday 22nd February, non live, 15:00

After the disappointment in midweek going down to Barcelona the Citizens must pick themselves up and concentrate on the Premier League. City will welcome a Stoke side who have the worst away record in the top flight this season picking up just six points. The Potters are 18/1 (bet365/BETVICTOR) to spring the huge shock while the draw is available at 7/1 with the same firms. This is a game you would expect City to win though odds of 1/5 (GENERAL) offer no appeal. You could look to enhance this with the 20/21 (BETVICTOR) they win to nil though a few tired legs from the game in midweek might mean Stoke have some chances at the back. Instead I will recommend a little play on the 8/1 (CORAL) on the Midlands side in the second half draw no bet market. It is possible that City will tire having chased the ball a lot against Barca and Stoke might come on strong later in the game.

RECOMMENDATION: Stoke draw no bet second half v Man City, 8/1 (CORAL)

WEST BROM v FULHAM, Saturday 22nd February, non live, 15:00

Felix Magath is the current Fulham manager although that could have changed a few times since this has been written. The German will take charge of the London side on Saturday for the first time after the sacking of previous boss Rene Meulensteen. The Dutchman seemed to be getting things right but the owner had no time for patience. Magath might be a lucky man as the Fulham side was just showing signs of life and were unlucky not to get a point against Liverpool and drew recently with Man United. I think they look value to get something with a 0.5 start on the Asian Handicap against a Baggies side that have not won any of their last five. This bet would pay out on the draw or an away victory for the London side.

RECOMMENDATION: Fulham +0.5 on Asian Handicap v West Brom, 6/5 (WINNER)

WEST HAM V SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday 22nd February, non live, 15:00

Both these sides are in good Premier League form with the Hammers 11/5 (bet365) for a fourth successive win while the Saints are 6/4 (GENERAL) for a third successive away victory. If anything this looks like a game that could result in a draw and this is available at 12/5 (bet365/BETVICTOR).

The recommendation is the 11/10 (boylesports/WINNER) on NO in the both teams to score market. The last meeting between these sides finished 0-0 while Saints have kept a clean sheet in their last two Premier League away games while the Hammers have not conceded in any of their last four games. RECOMMENDATION: NO both teams to score, 11/10 (boylesports/WINNER)

CRYSTAL PALACE v MAN UNITED, Saturday 22nd February, SKY SPORTS, 17:30

The live evening games from Selhurst Park and sees the Red Devils a far too short 8/13 (BETVICTOR/paddy Power/william hill) to beat an Eagles side that have won three in a row at home. Under Tony Pulis Palace have taken 19 points while in that same spell United have taken 21 points and played a game more. The Eagles are 11/2 (GENERAL) the victory while the game to end all square is a 16/5 (BOYLESPORTS) chance.

The bet I like is in the anytime scorer market where Scott Dann is 22/1 (paddy Power) and he will have his chances for a Palace side who have scored the highest proportion of set-piece goals this season (44%) in the Premier League. United are also vulenerable at the back to set-pieces so this looks worth a little interest.

RECOMMENDATION: Scott Dann anytime scorer, 22/1 (paddy Power)
