Everton are in terrific form at the moment but threw away a 2-0 lead to Bimringham last weekend. That being said their home form as been nothing short of amazing over the past two months or so. They've racked up six wins on the bounce at home in the legaue which included wins over Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City as well as 5-1 thrashing of Hull. Can see Everton scoring a few in this one since Bolton have been poor away from home shipping four against both Sunderland and Tottenham as well as three against Blackburn in recent weeks. All things point towards a comfortable Everton win and plenty of goals, I'm therefore taking Everton on the Asian Handicap (-1) and Over 2.5 goals.
Tips:
Everton (-1) @ 1.94 (Ladbrokes)
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.83 (Totesport)
Portsmouth v HullEverton (-1) @ 1.94 (Ladbrokes)
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.83 (Totesport)
Portsmouth had their nine points deduction finally confirmed and now are definitley going to be relegated this season. In a sense the pressure has been off the Portmsouth players for a while now and a lot of them are in the shop window if you like and will be looking to impress to get snapped up by another Premiership club. Hull have a dreadful record away from home and have only scored one goal in their last five away games. They sacked their manager Phil Brown and replaced him with Ian Dowie till the end of the season. Some would say Phil Brown's a perfectly good manager and Hull punched above their weight last season by avoiding relegation it's questionable whether a mangerial change at this point will make any difference. Hull struggle to create much going forward especially away from home and I think they'll struggle to get past David James and I fancy Portsmouth to keep a rare clean sheet.
Tip:Portsmouth to keep a clean sheet @ 2.80 (PaddyPower)
Stoke v Tottenham
Stoke are more than a match for anyone on their own ground and that'll be no different in this match. Tottenham have been very inconsistent, they can look a terrific side on their day but then again they've suffered a number of shock defeats this season. Their away record is solid at (5-5-4) but they'll find it difficult against Stoke. Stoke themselves have drawn 12 games in the league this season, and I fancy this one may go the same way. Tottenham won't want to lose this one in the hunt for fourth place and may have to settle for a point like Aston Villa did. I'm also happy to take the unders here as both teams have a decent defensive record this season and Spurs will be without their goal poacher in Defoe.
Tips:
Draw @ 3.30 (Boylesports)
Under 2.5 goals @ 1.78 (Betfair)

Wigan v Burnley
Burnley's away form is the worst in the land, they' ve not just been beaten away from home they've been heavily beaten on a number of occassions. Out of their 14 away losses this season, 12 of them where by more than the one goal they've also concede 2 or more in all but one of their 15 league games this term.
Okay Wigan aren't exactly playing well at the moment and you may point to the 4-0 defeat at Bolton last week but to be fair the goals they did concede where all defensive errors which proved costly. I've noticed when Wigan do win they tend to win well, they also beat Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor earlier in the season. Therefore I think there's real value here in taking Wigan (-1) on Asian Handicap at an attractive looking price in the hope they'll bounce back with a good win against poor travellers Burnley.
