Palace tog et something from their visit to the KC Stadium

No doubt that the highlight of the 3pm kick-offs on Saturday is the game at the Emirates that sees the league leaders Arsenal up against third placed Southampton.

Bookmakers make the Gunners the 4/6 (BETVICTOR) favourites as they look for a fifth straight league win in front of their own fans. Arsenal looked a little tired at Man United last time out which could have been as a result of the sickness bug in the camp or the tough set of fixtures they have played recently. Arsene Wenger will hope his side can bounce back to life when they take on the Saints. Southampton have already won at Anfield and drawn at Old Trafford this season and they can be backed at 11/2 (STAN JAMES) while the draw is available at 31/10 (BWIN).

Those looking for anytime goalscorer bet will see the market headed by Olivier Giroud at 11/8 (bet365) while Aaron Ramsey who has 13 goals already this season will be a popular at 5/2 (GENERAL). Jay Rodriguez has scored three times in his last four Premier League games and he 9/2 (BWIN) to score anytime while Rickie Lambert is a 11/4 (GENERAL) chance.

I think this could be a tight game and under 2.5 goals looks the way to play this at odds of 20/19 (BWIN), This would have paid out in the last 10 Southampton Premier League away games and in the last three Arsenal league games.

Fulham made the brave American Football style move in giving Martin Jol a new man to work with (former Man United coach Rene Meulensteen) rather than sack their manager. The London side are desperate for three points and are 23/10 (BETVICTOR/888 SPORT/unibet) to see off a Swansea side with no wins from their last five.

The Welsh side have won at Craven Corrage in the last two seasons then you can back them at 11/8 (BETVICTOR) while the draw is a 12/5 (TOTESPORT/betfred) chance.

The best bet in this game comes in the anytime scorer market where I like the look of Wilfried Bony to get among the goals at 19/10 (BETVICTOR). The Swansea man has netted three times in his last two games and ten times in total this season. While most of the damage has come in the Europa Michael Laudrup seems willing to unleash him fully on the Premier League. The Swans boss has talked about how impressive the Ivory Coast man has looked in training this week and I expect he will be rubbing his hands at facing a Fulham side that has conceded 13 goals in their last four games.

Another week has gone by and Crystal Palace have still not found a manager and the season has become a course in how not to run a Premier League club. Keith Millen then will once more be in charge as they visit the KC Stadium and take on Hull on Saturday. In fairness to Millen he has done a decent job at the club in difficult circumstances and has at least made them hard to beat which was shown in a 0-0 draw with Everton last time out.

The home team Hull are the 5/6 (GENERAL) favourites for the game and they are unbeaten in their five league games at their own ground this season. Palace have lost every game on their travels this season yet I think they can get something from their visit to the KC Stadium. Hull are struggling for goals while Palace will be setup to frustrate and I think they can do so. I like the look of Palace then on the Asian Handicap with 0.5 start at odds of 11/10 (bet365). This bet will pay out if the game ends in a draw or a Palace victory.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Crystal Palace +0.5 on Asian Handicap v Hull, 11/10 (bet365)
SILVER: Wilfried Bony to score anytime v Fulham, 19/10 (BETVICTOR)
BRONZE: Under 2,5 goals Arsenal v Southampton, 20/19 (BWIN))
