Momentum is really starting to build behind the Newcastle United title bid, and Eddie Howe will be hoping his current side can overcome his former employers, as Toon host Bournemouth on Saturday. Elsewhere, problems continue to mount for Ruud van Nistelrooy at Leicester City, with Fulham the next side to visit the King Power Stadium, whilst West Ham will be looking to continue their strong start to life under Graham Potter, as they host Crystal Palace.
Newcastle United vs Bournemouth – Arsenal to win
4/6 at Rhino Bet
Momentum looks to really be growing behind a Newcastle United title push and Toon look to have another winnable one here against Bournemouth. Eddie Howe’s expensively assembled squad are really starting to come to terms with the rigours of the Premier League and they are well placed in the Carabao Cup too. Bournemouth are always a tough side to beat and come into this one fresh off the back of a solid draw on the road at Chelsea but Newcastle are a team being well backed by most punters and EPL betting sites.
West Ham United vs Crystal Palace – West Ham United to win
13/8 at Betzone
A London derby of sorts is on the agenda in this one, as West Ham look to keep their good start to life under Graham Potter going, as they host Crystal Palace at the London Olympic Stadium. The Hammers have struggled in offensive areas this season but already look to be carrying more of a threat and they will be looking to put in a strong showing for their home support. Palace have improved of late too, climbing away from relegation trouble under Oliver Glasner and they should have a good go here. Goals look guaranteed and West Ham could well come out on top in this one.
Leicester City vs Fulham – Fulham to win
19/20 at Rhino Bet
Ruud van Nistelrooy is a man seriously under the pump at Leicester City, with Foxes in freefall and they will be looking to restore some hope and pride here against Fulham. Relegation trouble was expected for Leicester this season, but recent showings have been particularly drab and fans are beginning to vent their frustration once again at the King Power Stadium. Fulham were on the wrong end of a 5-goal thriller at West Ham last time out and they will want to bounce back here, with Marco Silva’s side always carrying a genuine goal threat. This should be an entertaining one, with Fulham potentially having too much fire power for Leicester here.
