BOURNEMOUTH WIN 17/20 – MANCHESTER CITY WIN BY 3 OR MORE GOALS 1/1 – ARSENAL (-1) HANDICAP 11/20
Bournemouth vs Brighton (HOME WIN) 17/20 – After a blistering start, Bournemouth now find themselves in the bottom half of the table after a second consecutive defeat at Wolves, failing to score in their last two outings. Like their opponents, Brighton suffered their second defeat in a row last weekend, going down at home to Chelsea. Callum Wilson has netted eight times this campaign and should rediscover his sublime form which seemed to have died down in the last few games. Eddie Howe’s men have just lost three times at home, going down against Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Take the home win here at 17/20.
Manchester City vs Crystal Palace (HOME WIN BY 3 OR MORE GOALS) 1/1 – Manchester City, who will be looking to make it 10 wins on the bounce at home, the only team with a 100% record at their ground so far, welcome Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola will be glad to welcome back Sergio Aguero, despite Gabriel Jesus netting a brace in the Argentinian’s absence last weekend. City also welcomed back Kevin De Bruyne, while Raheem Sterling is expected to make his way back into the line-up. Crystal Palace come off the back of a remarkable win at home over Leicester City, but know that they’ll need to be at their majestic best to get a result against Man City – like they did last season when these sides cancelled each other out. This time around, it should be relatively comfortable for City – back them to Win By Three Or More Goals at even money.
Arsenal vs Burnley (HOME -1 HANDICAP) 11/20 – Arsenal’s 22-game unbeaten run across all competitions came to an abrupt end as they were left with a bitter taste in their mouths at St Mary’s Stadium, losing 3-2 at Southampton, a team that they have had little joy over in recent years. The Gunners now face a Burnley side who gave a decent account of themselves at Wembley, losing 1-0 to Tottenham. Arsenal are now three points adrift of the top four with Unai Emery seeking a much-needed response from his men. Back the Gunners on the (-1) Handicap here at 11/20.

Cardiff vs Manchester United (AWAY WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE) 9/4 – Cardiff return to Wales where they have won four of their last five matches in the Premier League, including their last three in a row. Despite their impressive home form, perhaps this is not the best time to face Man United, who need a massive response after being so one-sidedly beaten against Liverpool last weekend. United have not won in their last three away games in the league and are now 11 points off the top four. Their defence has let them down plenty of times this season, while their strike force has been far from fearsome. Still, the Red Devils are expected to bounce back, but not in comfortable fashion. Take Man United to Win & Both Teams to Score at 9/4.

Fairview Friday 21 December 2018 – Race 1 No 1 – REBEL WILSON (2/1) – The daughter of Sail From Seattle has ultra-consistent form, including a smashing penultimate effort on the Highveld, the formline of which has worked out extremely well and she should go close on her return to this surface.
Everton vs Tottenham (AWAY WIN) 12/10 – What a time to be an Evertonian. After visiting Man City, the Toffees now welcome Tottenham to Goodison Park. To add to that, Marco Silva’s men are winless in their last four league matches. Spurs have won three successive games, and earned a 1-1 draw at Barcelona in between that run. They also rested a few of their key players against Burnley in their last fixture, but managed to still grind out the result that they needed to stay in third spot. Spurs have managed eight wins from their 10 away games and are the only side in the league yet to draw a single match. The away win is well overpriced at 12/10 here – get on the Spurs victory!
