It’s another bumper weekend in the Premier League and Paddy Power ambassador Phil Thompson’s been working double time to keep you in the loop on Saturday. Here he’s guiding you through both of the TV games as well as a juicy clash at 3pm.
WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!
First up it’s the crisis-club derby and Everton v Manchester United at 12.30pm. Watford v Leeds gets our attention at 3pm and we round off with Aston Villa v Southampton at 5.30pm. There’s a lot to take in so let’s see what Thommo’s serving up this Saturday.
12.30pm: Everton v Manchester United
TV: BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate
I think the two sets of fans will be watching this from behind the settee. I do think this will be even-steven as we say, it will come out as a Draw, because both teams are not having a great time.
Everton have lost their last three, seven of their last 11 at Goodison Park and 17 of their last 22 Premier League games. That is not looking good. United have won just one of their last six in all competitions and three of their last nine away from home.
It’s so difficult, this game. I am going to go for a Draw. A score draw so Both Teams to Score in this one and if you want a goal scorer, I’ll go Richarlison to Score Anytime. He got two penalties against Burnley in midweek and for Manchester United I do think they will need Cristiano Ronaldo to start and for Ronaldo to Score Anytime.
3pm: Watford v Leeds
TV: Premier Sports (Ireland only)
Leeds just seem as though they’re getting a little bit of confidence. They’re unbeaten in three, winning two of them. They’d lost six on the bounce before this run.
But Leeds have got the worst defence in the Premier League, conceding 68. The worst away defence, conceding 38 goals. They’ve conceded 24 in their last seven away games so it’s not looking good when you look at that side of it.
I saw Watford last week against Liverpool and they actually performed alright. When you look at the stats it’s not good for Watford. They’ve got the worst home record in the Premier League, seven points from 14 games. Leeds will Win again, I think. I think Both Teams will Score.
5.30pm: Aston Villa v Tottenham
TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League
They’ve hit the brick wall, haven’t they, Aston Villa? They’ve lost their last three Premier League games but won the three previous to that so they are a little bit of a yo-yo side at the moment.
Spurs are coming to town and they will be absolutely flying. They’ve won the last three scoring 10 goals. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are banging in the goals. They’ve scored 12 in their last six.
I’m going to come down on Spurs to Win. Another reason for it, Spurs have won seven of their last seven games against Villa in all competitions. I think it’s Spurs for me. Both Teams to Score and, if you want a goal scorer, I think Son will Score Anytime.
