Chelsea vs Bayern Munich
The rather elongated Champions League last 16 phase enters the second half of the first legs this week with our focus today on the 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday night between Premier League club Chelsea and Bundesliga side Bayern Munich at Stamford Bridge. The German club possess fond memories of their last trip to London when they dismantled Tottenham by a 7-2 score-line back in April.
Chelsea squeaked through Group H ahead of last season's semi-finalists Ajax but behind surprise package Valencia. It was far from convincing but Frank Lampard's team got the job done. It was the 14th time in 17 seasons that the Blues reached this stage of the competition. However, the stats don't make for kind reading for Chelsea at home in the Champions League over recent years. They have been eliminated in each of their last four Champions League knock-out matches and have only won 1 of their last 6 home Champions League games. The biggest blow for me is the fact that N'Golo Kante has been ruled out.
Bayern Munich come into this game as one of the competition's favourites. It's easy to see why. Hansi Flick's side finished top of their group with a 100% record against Tottenham, Olympiakos, and Red Star Belgrade. The German club have been the English club killers in this competition in recent years having eliminated English opponents in 4 of their last 5 meetings with teams from England. You might want to be wary about an anytime scorer bet. Robert Lewandowski might have scored 10 goals in this competition this year already but he's not scored in the knockout stages for more than 597 minutes.
I know I've under-estimated Chelsea before but I've also over-estimated them. Bayern Munich look a steal for this away win price given their form in this competition this season. I think Chelsea will struggle to contain this Bayern attack and aren't quite doing enough in terms of their performances in the final third to make me think they'll be a threat to Bayern's back-line.

Leicester vs Manchester City
The evening kick-off in the Premier League today is a 5:30pm start between long shot title challengers Leicester and Manchester City at the King Power Stadium. It now seems certain that Liverpool will seal their first domestic league title since 1990 but the race to secure that runners-up spot is still firmly wide open with a chasing pack getting ever more congested.
Leicester were looking like the biggest competitors to Liverpool's title push but have faded off the pace over recent weeks. Brendan Rodgers continues to do a cracking job with the Foxes still in 3rd place and 9 points clear of 4th placed Chelsea but with just 3 wins from their last 10 league matches there are concerns they are starting to run out of gas. Back-to-back draws against Chelsea and Wolves are decent stand-alone results but have contributed to a poor run of return in points. This home game is a chance for them to not only get back to winning ways but make up ground on City themselves. My big concern is that Leicester come into this game with a lack of defensive midfield options with Wilfred Ndidi, Nampalys Mendy, and Hamza Choudhary all unavailable. That could mean Matty James being drafted in to start his first game in over a year.
Manchester City had a rough start to the season but things have steadied recently. Pep Guardiola's men are still reeling after the 2-year ban from European competition but we'll see how that develops over time. It didn't appear to have any impact on the player morale as they strode to a 2-0 win at home to West Ham in midweek in a game where they never really got out of second gear. That was their 5th win in 7 league games and even though the title looks gone they know a win here will put them firmly in the driving seat to finish 2nd.
There is hope for Leicester fans here because they did beat City at home last season. However, they have lost 5 of the last 6 meetings between the two clubs. Rodgers himself has never lost a home league game against City but I think that will have little bearing on the outcome here. Leicester need to have their best players available on their best form. Neither of those factors are going to happen so I have to back a solid City win.

Tottenham vs RB Leipzig
The second night of Champions League last 16 first leg matches gets underway tonight at 8pm GMT with Premier League side Tottenham hosting Bundesliga title challengers RB Leipzig at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. How badly will the injuries problems suffered by the home side affect their chances in this game and will the away side fully capitalise on this?
Tottenham head into this game with a striker shortage. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are both out for the foreseeable future with Jose Mourinho likely to call upon either Steven Bergwijn or Lucas Moura as his attacking outlet. Dele Alli or youth graduate Troy Parrott are potentially other options. Spurs will be wary that their attacking options are limited but they also have statistically the weakest defence remaining in the competition having conceded the most goals in the group stage with 14 goals conceded. It's now been 6 years since Mourinho himself reached the last 8 of this competition and it's now 10 years since he reached the final.
RB Leipzig are playing in the last 16 of this competition for the first time in their history. Julian Nagelsmann's side cruised through to the last 16 as group winners. Scoring goals is not a problem for this side with Die Roten Bullen setting a new Bundesliga record on the weekend by scoring 3 goals or more for a 9th consecutive league match. However, the team has an injury crisis of its own at the back with Dayot Upamecano suspended with Ibrahima Konate and Willi Orban out injured. It could mean Welsh international Ethan Ampadu is given the nod.
Everything is pointing towards a goal fest in this game. The defensive crisis of RB Leipzig, the scoring prowess of the German side, the poor defensive record of Spurs so far in this competition, and the fact that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has witnessed more goals in the Champions League venue this season than any other venue. I think Tottenham are worth backing to get a point because Mourinho should never be ruled out. I'm not sure I can see them winning though.

Everton vs Crystal Palace
The distorted Premier League winter break begins this weekend with half of the teams in action with the other half on a two week break. Why not just let them all have a weekend off is beyond me but I suppose money talks! Everton host Crystal Palace in the 12:30pm GMT kick-off this Saturday lunch-time to begin the action. Is the home win the sure-fire bet here?
Everton are one month into Carlo Ancelotti's reign and results have remained more positive than negative since the departure of Marco Silva and following on from Duncan Ferguson's heroic spell as caretaker manager. The Toffees are in 9th place and whisper it but they're only 4 points off the automatic Europa League qualification spots. A season that looked set to be a relegation battle is now fast turning into a potential European qualification campaign. It's now 4 league games unbeaten and the team is looking a lot more organised and competitive than earlier in the season. The club managed to keep all of their players including fending off interest from Barcelona for Richarlison. It's all very encouraging.
Crystal Palace might not be performing quite to Everton's levels but there's no doubt that Roy Hodgson is doing an incredible job with the resources at his disposal. The Eagles are in 14th place and 6 points above the relegation zone. Wilfried Zaha remains a Palace player after another transfer window but the board failed to financially back Hodgson. Could that prove costly? Back-to-back defeats in the league failing to score in both matches has been a sour note for Palace. It's now 10 league matches that the club has failed to score a goal in this season. They also head into this game having won just 3 of their 12 league matches on the road this season.
The head-to-head record between these two clubs weighs heavily in Everton's favour. This is a slight surprise given how up and down Everton have been over the past few seasons. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with Palace. The last time Palace tasted victory away to Everton was on 21st September, 2014. I think that run will extend here with Everton possibly worth backing for a clean sheet win.

Manchester United vs Manchester City
The first of the EFL Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg matches is up tonight when the Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City takes place in an 8pm GMT kick-off from Old Trafford. 13 points may well separate these two teams in the league table but it was actually the red side of Manchester that was celebrating a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium back in December. Who will win here?
Manchester United are going through one of their dodgy spells again under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Just 2 wins in their last 6 matches across all competitions means that Solskjaer now has a worse win percentage with United than he did with the Cardiff side that he got relegated and then struggled with in the Championship. Continuing rumours of players being unsettled and shocking transfer targets for a club their size (did somebody say Emre Can?!) are putting pressure on Solskjaer with the spirit of free agent Mauricio Pochettino still floating around. The club's run to this stage of the competition has included wins over Rochdale, Chelsea, and Colchester. Worth noting that Marcus Rashford has scored 5 goals in his last 5 games in this competition.
Manchester City have adjusted to life after Mikel Arteta seamlessly. Pep Guardiola's men have won their last three matches in all competitions with relative ease reacting well to that disappointing 3-2 loss away to Wolves. Their journey to this stage of the competition hasn't exactly been the toughest with victories over Preston, Southampton, and Oxford. City can come into this game confident knowing that Guardiola has won his last 5 domestic cup Semi-Finals. Interestingly, since 2013/14, Raheem Sterling has been involved in more goals than any other player in the EFL Cup with 8 goals and 6 assists.
This game would normally seem like a given when you consider how far apart these two teams are in quality. However, United's win last month has thrown a spanner in the works. I still think this is a game City will win but the odds on that aren't appealing at all. Especially when you consider that Pep will likely field fringe players but I can see United fielding a full strength side. Solskjaer has done OK against the big sides this season. I can see a close game and I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if United sprung a surprise and took it beyond full-time.

Brighton vs Bournemouth
I know that @Mindfulness and @AussieDex have briefly covered this game and I'd like to hear @Tiffy's thought on it but I'm going to go deeper into this game between Brighton and Bournemouth that is scheduled to kick-off at 12:30pm GMT on Saturday lunch-time from the AMEX Stadium. Both sides could do with a win here as they hover precariously over the relegation zone in the Premier League.
Brighton have been moving up and down the mid-table region of the league most of this season. Graham,Potter's side are currently in 15th place but only 2 points above the bottom three. Inconsistent home form and poor away form is to blame as Potter attempts to stamp down his philosophy on this Seagulls side. Results have started to hold up a bit recently with the club now without a win in 4 league games. It's also 3 home games in the league without a victory. Centre back Lewis Dunk might be fit enough to return after an illness and the attacking trio of Davy Propper, Leandro Trossard, and Neal Maupay are all battling for a start.
Bournemouth are only just behind their opponents for this game in the table in 16th place. The Cherries are also just 2 points clear of the relegation places. Eddie Howe's side have really been struggling as of late with 6 defeats from their last 8 league games. However, they did manage a sterling 1-0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in their last away match so that will give them confidence heading into this game. Diego Rico is back in contention for a start which will be a boost for Howe. Callum Wilson could be worth a cheeky anytime scorer bet because he's scored on his last three visits to the AMEX Stadium.
The head-to-head record doesn't look good for Brighton heading into this with the Seagulls without a win in the past 10 league encounters. Bournemouth are undefeated in their last 5 trips to Brighton. As already mentioned, the odds on a Bournemouth win look very tempting. I can see why Brighton are being backed because they've earned some decent results at home this season but they're in a bit of a slump right now and Bournemouth have that experience of dealing with similar slumps that makes me think they could get something here and continue their recovery.

agree with you boss , I even feel this can be last game for Manuel Pellegrini's

Southampton vs West Ham
The Premier League relegation battle could take a huge twist this weekend when two struggling sides go head-to-head. It's Southampton versus West Ham in a 5:30pm GMT kick-off at St Mary's Stadium this Saturday evening. Only 1 point separates these two sides and defeat could be a devastating blow for their survival hopes even at this middle stage of the season.
Southampton sit in 18th place in the league table. Ralph Hasenhuttl's men are on the road to recovery after the humiliating record-breaking 9-0 loss at home to Leicester a couple of months back. Just 1 loss in their last 4 league games suggests form is improving. In perhaps the bigger morale-boosting statistic, the Saints have won back-to-back home matches in the league ending a torrid spell of results at home.
West Ham suffered yet another defeat against Arsenal at home last Monday night. Manuel Pellegrini's job is now seemingly under review with the club dropping to 16th place in the table and just 1 point above the relegation zone. Having started the season in superb form with just 1 defeat in their opening 7 matches, things have become a little more barren over recent months. The Hammers now have just 1 win in their last 10 league games. The hope for their fans is that the solitary win during that spell came away from home in a 1-0 victory over Chelsea.
I've backed Southampton to win against the odds a couple of times over the past year and they haven't let me down. I still feel that they have a quality head coach in Hasenhuttl and if they stick with him they should stay up. There are worse teams in this league and with the right additions in January they can survive. West Ham is a strange one. They should be doing better. Is Pellegrini the problem? At the start of the season, I thought he was the answer. Something is broken in that club right now and I can't see it getting fixed here.

Manchester City vs Manchester United
The Premier League festive season schedule begins to gain some traction this weekend. It's the Manchester derby between Manchester City and Manchester United in a 5:30pm GMT kick-off this Saturday evening. Both teams desperately want to win this and with the visitors beginning to show signs of positive results again this might not be as straight forward as it might have seemed for the hosts.
Manchester City find themselves in the precarious position of 3rd place. The gap between Pep Guardiola's men and league leaders Liverpool is now 11 points. Have their chances of retaining the league title all but died already? Just 2 wins in their last 4 league games might not raise an eyebrow for most teams but the two games suffered by City where points were dropped must be seen as borderline catastrophic. A 3-1 loss away to title rivals Liverpool and a 2-2 draw away against an average Newcastle side. The 4-1 destruction of Burnley in midweek was a perfect response. City's home form is also still impressive this season with 5 wins and 1 draw from their 7 league games at home.
Manchester United seemed to be set to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and replace him with the former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino only a couple of weeks ago. However, it's now 4 league games undefeated for the Red Devils including a quality 2-1 win at home against Tottenham in midweek. The club is now in 6th place but they have drifted 8 points off the pace of the top four so might need a miracle to get back into the Champions League this season. The real issue is United's awful away form. Just 1 win in their 7 away matches in the league this season.
I think we all expect City to dominate this game. You all know my thoughts on Solskjaer as a manager. It's only a matter of time before he goes on another poor run and then the inevitable will happen. United haven't kept a clean sheet in league action since their 1-0 win over Leicester back on 14th September. That vulnerable defence could be in for a hiding here. City to win and their fight back to make the title race interesting to continue.

Today already had two bets  bet Burnley +2 and Bournemouth +0.25 
two small bets I liked 
Gl for me 

Aston Villa vs Newcastle
OK, so it's been a rollercoaster weekend for the Premier League betting. I'm looking to end it on a positive note with this clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle in an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight at Villa Park. This game could have a huge say in the race for survival in the top flight this season and defeat for either side could be a massive blow in their hopes of staying up.
Aston Villa are 17th in the table on 11 points. It puts them just 1 point above 18th placed Norwich but they have this crucial game in hand. The influential Jack Grealish is set to return to action after four weeks of being sidelined. It's now three straight defeats in the league for Villa but their home performances in particular have given them reason to hope. Dean Smith's side have now gone 7 league matches without keeping a clean sheet so defensive issues need to be addressed with 16 of their 20 goals conceded this season coming in the second half. 
Newcastle fans were totally against the appointment of Steve Bruce has manager but he's led them to 14th in the table on 15 points. A win here would see them move to 9th in the table and just 1 point behind the European qualification places. The Toon Army could be boosted by the returns of Fabian Schar and Florian Lejeune but Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Ritchie remain out injured. Interestingly, they have earned 6 more points this season under Bruce than they had by this stage last season under Rafa Benitez. It appears Bruce hates playing against his former clubs because he's now without a win in the past three encounters with teams he's previously managed.
In the head-to-head it's quite uncomfortable reading for Aston Villa. They've lost 22 of their 44 meetings with Newcastle in the Premier League. That's Newcastle's best league record against any club in the top flight. I'm not sure Newcastle will get the win here though. They're in a decent spell of form right now but Villa have still looked decent at home. The Magpies have lost 4 of their 6 away games and I think Villa will be inspired by the return of their captain tonight on home turf. A close win for Villa. I was tempted by the draw initially but I'll back the home team.

Norwich vs Watford
The Premier League kicks off on a Friday night this weekend when we see a relegation battle between newly promoted Norwich and bottom-placed Watford in an 8pm GMT kick-off at Carrow Road. Both teams are struggling this season with a grim fight for survival already looking like the most realistic course this campaign. Can one team strike a huge blow to their opponents in this game?
Norwich had started the season so positively. Even though the results weren't as good as Daniel Farke would have wanted, the performances were still encouraging. The highlight being the 3-2 win at home to Manchester City back on 14th September. Unfortunately, it's only been bad news since that game with the Canaries recording just 1 point from their last 6 league matches leaving them 19th in the table. The hope coming into this game is that their only two wins in the league this season have come at home.
Watford took the controversial step of sacking former head coach Javi Gracia and bringing back Quique Sanchez Flores for a second stint in charge of the club. The Hornets are bottom of the league with just 5 points and have so far failed to pick up a win in the league all season. The fact they've lost 4 of their last 5 meetings with Norwich and haven't tasted victory at Carrow Road since 6th August, 2010 only adds to their worries. On the plus side, they were unfortunate not to snatch a draw against Chelsea last weekend but that game was on home turf.
Personally, I think both of these sides are going down this season no matter what happens. It's a shame because I was optimistic about Norwich's chances but they've picked up that losing habit and it's tough to shake. Watford still boast the personnel to keep them up but even for the majority of the game against Chelsea they look like a team completely devoid of confidence and ideas. I actually think that despite being tempted by the draw I think Norwich's home advantage could sneak them this one.

@StevieDay1983 you are braver than me picking a team in that game.  That said, Watford are somehow favourites to win despite being away and not winning this season, which instinctively doesn't feel right to me.  I'd probably go for the draw rather than a Norwich win though.
I'm taking a small stake in the draw in Chelsea-Crystal Palace at 5.7, and also a bigger stake on Palace +2 at 1.91 (coral).  Chelsea have been in good form, but most of their recent good form has been away from home.  They were 4-1 down to Ajax in midweek and although they clawed it back they were definitely aided by the two sendings off for Ajax.  Before that they lost to Man U at home, albeit not with the entire first 11 playing.  Earlier in the season, they drew with Leicester and Sheff United at home (having lead in both games) so I don't think their home form is as good as their away form.
Palace are always worth a chance when away against a big team.  They were the last team to win in the PL at Anfield, and have also beaten Man City and Man U in recent times away.  They have had a week of rest and I can see them getting a result here.  Probably not the win, but I think they are capable of the draw.  I don't see Palace losing by a large margin so the +2 handicap at near evens seems like good value to me.

Liverpool vs Genk
The Champions League action is back and we get stuck right into the mix with this preview of reigning European champions Liverpool playing Belgian First Division A side Genk in an 8pm GMT kick-off at Anfield this Tuesday night. Group E remains wide open but the result in this game could have a serious influence on which two teams end up qualifying for the knock-out phase.
Liverpool managed to pull off a dramatic last gap win away to Aston Villa on the weekend. The Reds will be hoping to take that momentum into this game where they could move 6 points clear of 3rd placed Red Bull Salzburg with just two group matches to play if they win. Jordan Henderson could well be rested for this game with Fabinho and James Milner being considered for recalls to the first team. It's now 23 matches unbeaten in European competition at Anfield for Liverpool. When you combine that stat with the fact that Jurgen Klopp has only lost 2 of his 19 home group stage matches in the Champions League then it's looking like a formidable challenge for the visitors.
Genk are pretty much fighting for their lives in this group now. Manager Felice Mazzu's men are bottom of the group with just 1 point from their 3 matches so far. That was a respectable 0-0 draw at home to Napoli. Liverpool won the previous match in Belgium by a 4-1 score-line so a return trip isn't at the top of most Genk's fans' wish list. Genk's only previous visit to England for a European game was forgettable too with a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea in October 2011.
I'm expecting a dominant Liverpool performance here. Backing the -2 handicap is the sensible shout but if you're feeling a little bit more adventurous then I see no reason why you wouldn't have every right to feel a -3 option is attractive. Betting on Liverpool to be leading at half-time and full-time might be a short price but it's also a very realistic possibility so almost free money. Klopp has developed an understanding of how to navigate a way through this competition and a side like Genk will only be in for a night of pain tonight.

Sheffield Utd V Burnley
Burnley +0.25 AH @ 1.99 Betvictor
Price on the away side is starting to shorten so going to have to make a move here. Sheffield Utd may find this game difficult as Burnley are not the type of team to underestimate their opponents or play the kind of cavalier football that would play into Sheffield Utd's hands. We can see that Sheffield Utd, although 8th in the table, have only scored 3 goals at home so far this campaign. The Blades have shown good game management under the stewardship of Chris Wilder but their lack of firepower should be a concern for the home side here.
Burnley should be a tough side to play against and break down, it's never nice having to make the game against them. In my view their forwards are more adept and effective at this level than Sheffield Utd's and the ELO ratings give Burnley nearly half a goal advantage heading into this fixture. Key goal metrics also show a similar margin in Burnley's favour here. Burnley CF Chris Wood may miss this game through injury but Jay Rodriguez is a more than capable replacement in my view and their attack should not be hindered if Wood does miss out.
To summarise, this should be a hard-fought contest between two well-drilled units. Sheffield Utd may find it hard to make the game against an opponent that knows how to play 2 banks of 4 and a low block while Burnley themselves look to be the more dangerous team going forward by most key measures.
I expected the odds to be closer together for this match, Burnley on the +0.25 asian line at around EVS is the value play for me in this situation.

West Ham vs Newcastle
It's not the easiest week of fixtures for betting on in the Premier League this weekend so I'm starting with a game that I feel offers the best chance of an expected outcome. West Ham host Newcastle in a 3pm GMT kick-off this Saturday afternoon at the London Stadium and they'll be hoping to end a disappointing run of results in the league that has stalled their early season form.
West Ham had been looking like dark horses to gate crash the top four this season but it's now four league matches without a win for Manuel Pellegrini's side. Perhaps the most morale-damaging aspect of this run is that all four games have been against sides the Hammers would have been anticipating that they could take victories in. It's seen the club drop to 10th in the table and 7 points off the top four.
Newcastle sit nervously just outside the bottom three on 9 points and it's now just 1 league win in their last 7 league games under Steve Bruce. It's a sad sign of the times up on Tyneside that this season is purely about survival but with the club having lost 4 of their 5 away games this season it doesn't bode well heading into this fixture. The absence of key players Matt Ritchie, Florian Lejeune, and Fabian Schar through injury and Sean Longstaff through suspension is a big blow. This season is also the first time a Newcastle side has failed to score more than one goal in their opening 10 league matches.
I really can't see Newcastle winning this game. Can they get a draw? I feel these two sides are worlds apart and the only hope the Toon Army have got is by battening down the hatches and trying to steal a 0-0 draw. The attacking talent in West Ham's ranks is a luxury that Newcastle fans can only dream of right now and they'll feel the full force of that on Saturday. A convincing home win awaits.

I'm also taking a bit of a punt on my team (spurs) winning at Everton.  Spurs are slight favourites around 2.6 to win the game (Everton 2.8).  Last season they were around 2.2 and I remember confidently backing them.  They won 6-2.  Spurs have an excellent record against Everton and haven't lost away at Goodison Park since 2012.  If there is an away game where spurs can look to turn their form around, I think this could be the one. 
This season, the away form is not so good, and hasn't been for a while.  However, it should be pointed out spurs have had a very tough start to the season for away fixtures, having already played Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Leicester away (2 draws, 2 losses).  The loss to Brighton was much worse, although Everton have just gone to Brighton and also lost. 
The main reason for the punt is more down to Everton's form.  Silva always seems to be 1 game away from the sack, and while they won in the cup midweek, spurs have had a week of rest to recover.  Before that, Everton lost at Brighton, and their general form has been disappointing all season, losing 4 PL games in a row not so long ago, including a home loss to Sheffield United.  They still suffer for not having a decent recognised striker otherwise I think they would be doing a lot better.
This is definitely a speculative punt so low stakes, but the price is just about good enough for me to back my own team, taking into account a weeks rest and a good record against Everton.  Both teams are in poor overall form, but for me spurs have the cutting edge in attack which i'm hoping will make a difference here.

Chelsea vs Manchester United
The second huge clash in the EFL Cup 4th Round will be found at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night when Chelsea play Manchester United in an 8:05pm GMT kick-off. These two teams have already met this season in the league where United claimed a fortuitous 4-0 win but the two clubs have gone down two very different form paths since that opening weekend match.
Chelsea look like a very exciting side under Frank Lampard. His faith in youth is paying off but he's keen to keep expectations grounded. It'll be interesting to see if he picks another strong side like he did for the 7-1 crushing defeat of Grimsby in the previous round. As a young manager himself, Lampard will be keen to win his first trophy and he'll see a fantastic opportunity to do that here.
Manchester United have been toiling as of late but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will see this as a nice escape from league action. The Red Devils struggled to get past Rochdale in the last round after a 1-1 draw and winning on penalties by a 5-3 score-line. It doesn't bode well for an away clash against a much-improved Chelsea side who are anticipated to field a strong side.
United hold the advantage in the recent head-to-head between these two sides. It's now four matches unbeaten for them against Chelsea. However, United have only won 1 of their last 11 visits to Stamford Bridge. I think Chelsea could make it a very difficult evening for United here. I can see Lampard picking a strong side and looking to really get some vengeance for that early season defeat.

Hey guys! New to the site. Haven't regularly punted in quite a while, but the taste for a little weekend flutter has returned again. Felt I needed to sign up to a forum, as if I'm not articulating & putting my thoughts into black and white, I can be a little lazy/loose - and if I'm a little lazy/loose, then the bookies are sure to win - and we don't want that to happen, do we? ?   So my first post is hardly much of a "tip", but I think Manchester United are nailed on to brush aside Norwich on tomorrow afternoon, and seeing them quoted around 4/5 looks generous to me.   Ole's side have seen their best performances this season come when playing possession based teams; when the emphasis isn't so much on trying to unlock a stubborn deep-block, but just having a compact settled-shape off the ball & pressing aggressively. They beat Leicester & Chelsea this season with less of the ball, and put in, what I thought, was a very good performance vs. Liverpool last weekend with around 35% possession.   Norwich execute a patient, position-play focused possession game with strong emphasis on building from the back (it's naive, if you ask me, but anyway). Only the "big 6", Leicester & Graham Potter's Brighton pass the ball more on average than Norwich, and only 6 sides (City, Chelsea, Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool & Brighton) average more passes-per-min-of-possession; so they're zipping it around at a brisk tempo - the  only issue is, they predominantly do it in risky, almost Louis van Gaal-esque deep areas:     And to add to that, they're playing against a side who before the Liverpool game, only allowed opponents on average to construct ~8 passes before forcing a possession turnover. United have a lot of effective/capable pressing players in D.James, Rashford, Lingard, Pereira, Fred, McTominay, Wan-Bissaka (his pressing intensity really impressed me vs. Andy Robertson), etc., most of whom, are expected to start, and will be licking their lips at conceding territorial possession and waiting to pounce on an error; specific pressing trigger(s), a lazy pass, etc.   I just think it's a match made in heaven for United. With the recent mood lift courtesy of the solid Liverpool performance, followed by their first away win in a long time on Thursday, on top of the plus of the returning Martial, who may lack the pressing intensity of most of the aforementioned, but brings much missed quality in and around the box;  and against a side who are foot of the table, low on confidence, and despite their "philosophy" playing right into United's hands stylistically, they're likely to be too stubborn to change -  so I'm more than happy to have a substantial single on some of that just-shy-of-evens price floating about.   Good luck if you play or add to your accas.   Hope I can contribute positively in the future. Used to contribute to a forum called Racecaller a few years back.

Manchester United vs Liverpool
The big game of the weekend is coming up on Sunday afternoon at 4:30pm BST when old rivals Manchester United and Liverpool go head-to-head at Old Trafford. It's a match that doesn't quite have the anticipation of previous encounters with one team really struggling to assert their influence on the league this season and the other team running away with the lead at the top of the table.
Manchester United are in trouble. Make no bones about it. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was going to be a failure. That's what thousands of Cardiff fans like me predicted. The Red Devils are currently in 14th place with just 9 points from their first 8 league games of the season. That puts them just 1 point above the relegation zone. Rumours are that a heavy defeat in this game will be the end of Solskjaer. Injury worries plague the team with Paul Pogba, David De Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones, and Mason Greenwood all doubtful. A worrying stat is that United have not scored more than 1 goal in any of their last 10 competitive matches. They are also on a run of just 2 wins in their last 13 league games. A loss for United will give them their worst start to a league campaign since the 1986/87 season.
Liverpool come into this game in complete contrast. Jurgen Klopp's side are 1st in the Premier League with a 100% record of 24 points from their first 8 league games. The Reds are the reigning European champions and look in a prime position to add the Premier League title to their cabinet. It's early days yet though. A win here would give Liverpool a record-equalling 18th consecutive top flight league win. One stat that should make Liverpool fans cautious is the fact they have won just 2 of their last 13 away games against the "reputed top six" sides in the top flight.
If there is any hope to take heading into this game for United fans then it's the fact that their side have gone undefeated against Liverpool over their last six home matches in all competitions. However, four of the past six meetings between these two have ended in a draw with three of those ending 0-0. I can't see both teams cancelling each other out here. I think this will be a new painful experience for United fans with Liverpool winning 2-0 or even 3-0.

I never thought I'd see the day a visiting team to Old Trafford would be long odds on, with Utd at 5.5.  How times change.  Liverpool have won 17 straight PL games, though that run nearly came to an end in their last match vs Leicester.  Utd we know are not the same team of old, and have some injuries and a lack of strikers.  The odds are perhaps justified, but for me the price on Utd is big enough for me to take a chance on them with a +1 handicap at 2.2.  Liverpool's run will end sooner or later, and this is perhaps a tougher game for them than the odds are implying, as most of Utd's worst form is away from home.  The game finished 0-0 last season under similar circumstances and Liverpool haven't won at Old Trafford in Klopp's time with the club.    
 

Bournemouth vs Norwich
The Premier League is back baby! It's felt too long and I'm speaking as a Welshman whose national side had a relatively positive international break! Anyway, it's Bournemouth versus Norwich in a 3pm BST kick-off this Saturday afternoon at the Vitality Stadium that kicks off our previews. Not the most glamorous of fixtures but there's some value to be had here people!
Bournemouth have been a delight to watch this season. Eddie Howe's men are situated in 10th place but it feels like they have the potential to go higher. It's now two league games without a win for the Cherries but given that has been a 2-2 draw against an in-form West Ham and a narrow 1-0 loss away to Arsenal that shouldn't be looked into too deeply. They've only lost 1 of their 4 league games at home and they could move into the European qualification spots with a win here.
Norwich started the season in a positive mood but it feels like the wind has been blown out of their sails recently. Daniel Farke's men have picked up some memorable results including the 3-1 home win against Newcastle and the momentous 3-2 victory at home over reigning champions Manchester City. However, the glaringly worrying fact is that it's 6 defeats from their 8 league matches and 4 defeats from 4 games on the road in league competition.
Teemu Pukki's goals have dried up and with just 1 goal in the last 310 minutes of league football it's not looking great for the Canaries. Bournemouth may play in a way that gives Norwich a chance to go at them but this away form for Farke's men has become a huge issue. I'm not sure the away side will get anything here and it looks like their three game losing streak in the league will continue. Callum Wilson also had 4 goals in his last 4 games for Bournemouth so he's worth backing to score any time against a Norwich side that has conceded an average of 2.63 goals per game.
