#5                  Tottenham v Stoke                                    (Sunday, 13:30)

Under 2.5 Goals @ 10/11 – BET NOW

Tottenham have scored just two goals in their last four post-Europa League fixtures so don’t expect Mauricio Pochettino’s side to steamroller Stoke on Sunday. The visitors have gone under 2.5 goals in three of their five away league games and only went down 1-0 at an on-fire Southampton side in their last away fixture. The Potters can make life awkward for Tottenham and under 2.5 goals at 10/11 looks the best way to profit.

#4                  Southampton v Leicester                   (Saturday, 15:00)

Under 2.5 Goals @ 5/4 – BET NOW

Leicester have gone under 2.5 goals in all five of their away league games this season – including ‘only’ going down 2-0 to runaway leaders Chelsea – so the Foxes should be competitive at Southampton. Everyone is talking about the Saints right now but they can struggle to see of well organised sides at St Mary’s (West Brom drew 0-0 while they only beat Stoke 1-0). Under 2.5 goals at 5/4 looks a value selection.

#3                  West Ham v Aston Villa                                    (Saturday, 15:00)

Aston Villa To Win @ 17/4 – BET NOW

West Ham are another ‘flavour of the month’ team who are being overestimated. The Hammers are a best price 5/6 to beat Aston Villa despite winning just nine of their last 23 home Premier League games – punters are forgetting that Sam Allardyce’s side are ultimately just a mid-table outfit in good form. Villa have lost six league games in a row but they’ve still won 25% of all their away league matches since the start of last season and I think they should be around 3/1 shots here. The 17/4 is too big and should be taken.

#2                   Man Utd v Crystal Palace                  (Saturday, 15:00)

Crystal Palace To Win @ 10/1 – BET NOW

Man United, winless in three league games, with eight home league defeats from 24 in the post Sir-Alex Ferguson era and with no fit defender who has played more than 10 games for the club, are 4/11 to beat a team four points below them in the table. Palace have won 25% of their away league games since re-promotion last season and should be nowhere near 10/1 shots to win at Old Trafford on Saturday.

#1                  Liverpool v Chelsea                                     (Saturday, 12:45, BT Sport 1)

Liverpool To Win @ 14/5 – BET NOW

Liverpool may be struggling for form but they have still won 19 of their last 25 home Premier League games, which is fantastic long-term form and has to be factored into our thinking here. Chelsea have lost just over 20% of their away Premier League games since Jose Mourinho returned and will have had a day’s less preparation than Liverpool as their midweek game takes place 24 hours later. The Reds much prefer being the underdogs at home and at nearly 3/1 they look outstanding value to stun the Blues.
