The Saturday lunchtime kick-off sees Manchester United visit Goodison Park to take on Everton. Both teams come into the game on the back of European wins midweek. Everton will surely still be on a high after beating Chelsea in their last Premiership game. Man Utd on the other hand didn't play that well in Milan bit managed to come away with the win, in the league they battled well for a point after going down to ten men against Villa last time out. Both teams have important players missing, Everton are without Cahill and Fellaini whilst United will be without Ferdiannd, Giggs & Nani. It's difficult to oppose United likewise it's very difficult to bet against Everton when they are at home. Think we could be in for a tight game here and think the early kick-off isn't really ideal for the teams having played midweek so there may well be a slow start to the game. Also think there's two very good goalkeepers on show and Tim Howard will be looking to impress against his former club. All things considered I'll take the unders here.
Everton v Man Utd tip:
Under 2.5 goals @ 1.85 (Bet365)
West Ham take on Hull City in what will be termed a "six pointer" due to the importance of the game regarding both teams fight against the dreaded drop. West Ham played well and won against an in form Birmingham last time out and came away with a 2-0 win. Hull City on the other hand lost away to Blackburn after Boateng was harsly sent off, depsite being down to ten men their performance was still very poor like they have been for the majority of the season away from home. They are still without a win all seaosn away from home and I can't see that changing against West Ham. I think there's more confidence around Upton Park since the club was taken over and I fancy West Ham to come out clear winners here.
West Ham V Hull City tip:
West Ham (-0.75) @ 2.00 (Bet365)
West Ham (-0.75) @ 2.00 (Bet365)
A team in the news a lot recentley is Portsmouth. Their financial crisis continues to rage off the field whilst that they still have all the troubles on the pitch as it looks incresingly likely that they are going to be relegated. Despite all that they put in a good performance against local rivals Southampton in the FA Cup, O'Hara and new loanee Owusu-Abeyie impressing the most. Stoke City battled well for a point against Man City in midweek after being reduced to ten men, they were denied the win by a (very,very) harshly disallowed goal right at the end of the game. Stoke aren't as effective away from home but they've managed to pick a few points up on the road recentley. Portsmouth's last two home games have ended in draws, whilst Stoke have drawn their last three away. I expect a close game as well therefore i'm opting for the draw.
Portsmouth v Stoke City tip:
Draw @ 3.3 (Boylesports)
