We’re really getting to the business end of the season now and we’ve got fixtures with implications going in all directions in this one – from Champions League contenders Newcastle and Manchester United, to Tottenham who are now battling to clinch a European place of some sort and are suddenly below Aston Villa.

Meanwhile, down the bottom of the table, both Everton and Southampton are fighting for their lives. Southampton look all-but relegated, and Everton will be relying on some magic from Sean Dyche to help them escape the drop.

Everton v Newcastle

TV: BT Sport 2

Newcastle to Win

Newcastle have shown that they mean business this season, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down as the action heats up. After a landslide victory against Tottenham at the weekend that saw them find the net on six occasions, Newcastle will be looking to get another three points against an Everton side that has seemed almost destined for the drop since last season. Newcastle should Win this.

Everton to Receive the Most Cards

Everton have the sixth worst disciplinary record in the Premier League this season, and the arrival of Hard Brexit Sean Dyche won’t have done anything to help matters. With the level that Newcastle are playing at, Everton are going to be dealing with relentless pressure for the duration of 90 minutes and there’s only so much the prolific Dyche low block can do. Everton to Receive the Most Cards – hammer it down!

Southampton v Bournemouth

TV: BT Sport 3

Billing to Have 1 or More Shots On Target

Philip Billing is Bournemouth’s main man in midfield and the perfect man to lengthen the odds on our Bet Builder, too. He’s managed to get himself seven goals so far, scoring some of their most important goals of the campaign. He’s also found the target on 57.3% of all shots that he’s taken this year which is well above average for the Premier League. He’s there, and there’s great value for Billing to Have 1 or More Shots On Target.

Over 1.5 Goals

It’s been a difficult first season as a Premier League keeper for young Gavin Bazunu, made worse by how poor his defence has been. Southampton have conceded the most goals in the Premier League this term – and have somehow managed four own goals to make matters worse. This is one game that Bournemouth will be targeting to improve their standing in the league table, as it’s a very achievable three points, and it’s entirely reasonable to expect to see them outperform their regular xG against a side that’s so…defensively challenged. Expect Over 1.5 Goals.

Tottenham v Manchester United

TV: BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate

Manchester United to Win

After a crushing defeat for Spurs at the weekend, United will be looking to rub salt further into the wound as they look to chase Newcastle for third spot and distance themselves from Aston Villa in fifth. Erik ten Hag’s men should be more than capable of pulling this off. Tottenham appear to be falling apart at the seams, and have resorted to bringing Ryan Mason back in as manager on an interim basis, in what is arguably one of the least coveted jobs in football today. No new manager bounce to be found here, back Manchester United to Win this one.

Marcus Rashford to Score Anytime

We’re backing Marcus Rashford Score Anytime and to continue his scintillating run of form this season by playing a major role here. He’s already bagged himself 15 Premier League goals and we’d hope to see that tally rise as the season draws to a close. In his career, Rashford has come up against Tottenham on 12 occasions in the Prem, scoring four goals in those meetings. He’s more than capable of tearing this side apart and we’re betting that he will.
