Feb 13: English Football Betting Preview

IT really is Super Sunday in England this weekend and my Daily Record column today reflects that with the emphasis on the matches at Arsenal and Man City.

On the site I'll put up my tips and thoughts for those games later so what about the Saturday matches.

In the Premier League best bets could be Everton – with three 3-0 wins on the spin – at home to West Brom. They are 4-7 with McBookie and 17-10 at Paddy Power minus one.

Bournemouth are 23-20 with William Hill to claim a vital victory against a Stoke side who have lost three in a row to nil. Benik Afobe has made an impressive start to his Bournemouth career and is 5-1 at bet365 to score first.

Southampton keeper Fraser Forster has yet to concede in five games since returning from injury but today could be the day. Swansea are unbeaten in four and are 1-2 at McBookie to net. If you disagree back a Southampton clean sheet at 25-14 with marathanbet.

Elsewhere it's a tricky card. Chelsea should beat Newcastle in the evening kick-off but under Guus Hiddink they tend to draw matches. Diego Costa will wear a mask after breaking his nose in training and “Zorro” is 20-21 at bet365 to make his mark with a goal.

There could also be a stalemate at Norwich where West Ham are the visitors. Dmitri Payet is 3-1 with Stan James to celebrate his new deal with a goal.

Man United are 4-5 with William Hill and Betfred to win at Sunderland but the home will be out to make it tough after coming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Liverpool last weekend.

Hull and Burnley look decent for away wins in the Championship at Blackburn and Reading respectively and it will be interesting to see how Neil Warnock fares as new boss of Rotherham at home to Birmingham.
