    Lovely tipping! Wish I'd been onboard. So satisfying to see an almost 'crystal ball' thing happen

    I'm surprised under 2.5 goals is the outsider of the under/over market in the Palace Spurs match.  Matches between these two over the past couple of years have been tight, in fact it has been a 1-0 to spurs scoreline in each of the last four league games.  Palace also won 1-0 in an FA cup game so the 1-0 streak in all competitions is currently at 5.
    I see no reason not to think this will be another tight and low goal encounter.  Palace don't score many- I think its only 2 home goals all season, both penalties in the last match.  Spurs aren't as free scoring as they have been in recent seasons. 
    The outright price on Tottenham does not appeal, though if it drifts to evens i'd be happy to take that price.  This will be spurs 8th away PL game already this season, and they've won 6 and only lost 1, so going to Selhurst Park shouldn't faze them.
    I'd therefore strongly recommend under 2.5 goals at around 2.1, and maybe just for fun 1-0 spurs at around 9.0 to continue the trend.

    Not convinced Spurs are going to win as easily as the odds imply.  Lloris is suspended which after his CL performances could be seen as a good thing, though he is still a class above Vorm or Gazzaniga.  I hope Gazzaniga starts as he has been fairly impressive in his starts in the PL and cup competitions.  Dembele, Dier and Wanyama all injured for this so problems in midfield, though Alli coming back for this one will help.
    I don't know what state the pitch will be in, but I assume the playing surface will be ok now.  Either way, the Wembley atmosphere is not great due to the new stadium issues, and I think the club are a bit fed up with playing at home/Wembley at the moment which is affecting the mood of the fans, and maybe the players at home games.
    PSV are doing very well in their league, and spurs are not winning games by a clear margin at the moment.  Spurs clearly the better team, but not backable at 1.40 in my opinion. 
    Therefore, i'd recommend Tottenham to win by a 1 goal margin at 4.0 (skybet) for a better value bet.  PSV on the handicap might also be a way to play.

    I'm feeling quietly confident about Spurs going to Wolves and winning, and think odds around 2.25 are fair.  Wolves have hit a bit of a wobble and in my opinion have been overrated by the bookies all season.  They don't score many, so one goal could well be enough to get the win.  Alli and Eriksen getting back to full fitness means spurs will be close to full strength for perhaps the first time this season.  
    Incidentally, this will be spurs 7th PL away game of the season.  They've won 5 and lost 1 (Watford).  They are playing better away than at home at the moment and after the cup win against west ham, I think they will be full of confidence going into this one.
    Without being too morbid, could this be a good time for Cardiff to be playing Leicester?  Some of the Leicester players must have struggled with training this week with all the distractions, plus there is supposedly some discontent with Vardy.  Cardiff have started scoring recently so it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they managed to win this one.

    Just to add to StevieDays preview, Spurs have won every single home game against a newly promoted club for something like the last 8 or 9 seasons, so a spurs win should be banker material.  Moura and Lamela have been lively (and scored a few) all season, so put either to score in a spurs win to boost the price from the outrights would be my advice.

    Liverpool are marginal favourites to win at Chelsea?   That instinctively seems wrong to me- it's not like Chelsea have done much wrong so far this season, and may have a psychological edge (hazard in particular) after the cup game.
    Odds of 40/1 (Ladbrokes) on Brighton to win at Man City seems a bit disrespectful!  I know Brighton are poor away from home, but Man City have a big CL game in midweek which may be a distraction.  City will still win but I see this being a competitive game that is closer than these odds suggest.  Maybe Brighton +2 or +3 could be a way to play?

    Goes without saying Tottenham should win at Huddersfield.  Rather than take the outright win, I will suggest Tottenham to win and both teams to score has a pretty good chance of landing.  OK, Huddersfield don't score many but Tottenham's defence is poor at the moment, especially from headed goals and set pieces.  Other than away at Man U (who should have scored) all spurs opponents have scored at least once so why not Huddersfield?
    23/10 (Boylesports) for spurs and both teams to score gets some of my money this weekend.

    Spurs at odds on away to Brighton makes no appeal whatsoever!  Even if spurs were in good form its a tough place to go.  Lloris still out is a big loss for spurs. 
    I watched Brighton against saints and they weren't good- particularly first half.  Their tactics were hoof the ball long and see what happens.  It got them back in the game so you can't knock it but it wasn't easy on the eye.  
    Spurs have been poor from set pieces all season so far, which may play to Brighton's strengths.  Given spurs lack of form I think both teams would be happy with a draw out of this one.  I'm going to go for 1-1, which was the result last season.

    Yeah just seen this myself.  Lloris was missing for the Watford game and while Vorm wasn't at fault for the goals, my impression was the defence was unsettled throughout the match, some of which i'm attributing to Vorm being in goal.  On paper Vorm is a pretty good backup keeper, but I would definitely be more wary of backing Spurs with him in goal.
    Alli in his current form I don't think is such a big miss.  Spurs are strong with creative midfielders to feed Kane or score themselves (Moura/Eriksen/Son etc).  Son would be the natural replacement for Alli but I don't know how fit he is having been in Asia on international duty for the past month. 
    I was just reading how a lot of Liverpool's players have travelled a long way over the internationals (twice as far as spurs players have) so there has to be some fatigue there which may help counteract spurs injury problems. 
    I still think spurs are capable of at least a draw.  However, I think this is a match where any result wouldn't surprise me so it's not a confident shout.  If I was going to put up anything for this game, it would be under 2.5 goals as I see this being quite a dull, cagey game despite Kane, Salah etc being on the pitch.

    Not sure Crystal Palace should be that big at home to Liverpool.  They are well organised and tough to beat and I don't see Liverpool winning as easily as the odds suggest.  Palace +1 is on my shortlist.
    Also like the look of Everton (Southampton always seem overrated by the bookies to me), Leicester (not convinced Wolves are all that good) and maybe Brighton +1 given they should play better at home and United are hard to support at short odds given the supposed discontent with the manager etc.
