On Saturday we have a relegation six-pointer as Swansea take on Sunderland at the Liberty Stadium. The away side have picked up some form, winning 3 of their last 4 to move off the bottom of the table and are potentially one win away from moving up to 14th if other results go their way. It’s an incredible turnaround for David Moyes’ men, and will be sparking hope amongst their fans that they don’t have to wait until late in the season for a miracle run of form to keep them up again, as has become tradition for them in recent seasons. Swansea are favourites to take the win here at 11/10 but many might be opting for the more attractive price of 23/10 for Sunderland to take the win.
Sunday’s matches
At midday on Sunday league leaders Chelsea will be looking to extend their winning run to 9 matches against West Brom at Stamford Bridge. This fixture has actually ended 2-2 in two of the Baggies’ last three visits to Stamford Bridge though, and with Matt Phillips in excellent form with 3 goals and 3 assists from his last 4 matches there’s plenty of reason to back BTTS at 6/5 with bet365.
Following that it’s Man United v Tottenham at Old Trafford. Tottenham were merciless in their 5-0 victory against Swansea last week, but aren’t in the best of form generally having won just 3 of their last 12 games in all competitions and drawing 4 of their last 7 in the league. Sunday’s opponents are also drawing far too often, with 6 of their last 8 league games ending in stalemate. A score draw is therefore the most likely outcome here, and with this in mind bet365’s Bore Draw Money Back Offer refunds on any game that finishes 0-0 on any Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time or Scorecast markets.
Liverpool v West Ham is the final game of the weekend, and this is one in which Liverpool could run riot. West Ham’s defence were shambolic in their 5-1 defeat at home to Arsenal last week and they’ve now conceded 29 goals in their 14 league games so far this season. Only Swansea have conceded more, and the last thing that the Hammers need now is a trip to the league’s top scorers. Over 5.5 goals with bet365 will be a popular choice at 11/2, alternatively over 6.5 goals at 12/1 or over 7.5 goals at 22/1.
