After a sticky start Vincent Kompany has Burnley heading in the right direction and they're now unbeaten in five (in all competitions) and up to third in the table.
The former Manchester City star, and disciple of Pep, has transformed the Clarets style of play so he can be forgiven for suffering a few teething problems, especially in the ultra-competitive Championship.
They face another tough trip tonight, to the Hawthorns, to play West Brom. The Baggies find themselves in mid-table after five draws from their opening seven games, so it's clear they need to start converting those stalemates to wins.
One of the first things they need to do is stop conceding first, something they've done in five of seven in the league so far. It's a tempting 7/5 that Burnley break the deadlock tonight.
Kompany's philosophy is based around possession based football and his side have dominated most matches. Ironically their lowest percentage of possession (55%) came in their biggest win to date, the 5-1 away victory at Wigan. More often than not that possession has led to them winning the corner count and they're 6/4 to take more corners than West Brom tonight.
Given West Brom's indifferent form and lack of wins so far the 5/2 on Burnley to win makes plenty of appeal but backing them at 11/8 in the Draw No Bet market feels like a safer approach in case Albion make it six draws in eight.

Just the single tonight for me and im fancying a few cards given out in the game at the king power.
Both teams 2 or more cards 9/5 at Hills ❌
Leicester booking short, so close yet so far
Well done winners 👍🏼👍🏼
St Pat’s v Finn Harps
Over 3.5 goals 15/8
Pat’s will be looking to keep the pressure on the sides in the European places and we are more than capable of getting among the goals ourselves so here’s hoping…..
Small stake on Over 4.5 goals at 9/2
🙂
Both lost…..finished 2-1 (2-1 after 24 minutes)
Morning Lads
EPL Weekend Tips
Everton v Liverpool
Jordan Pickford to be carded at 5/1 b365
Red Card in the game at 7/2 b365
The masters of the dark arts Everton will no doubt be at it again and i’m on Pickford to pick up a card here,there’s no better player at wasting time,Nunez returns not sure if that’s a good thing here as tackles will be flying in all over the place so expect a red.The games are coming thick and fast and the last thing Klopp wants is more injuries going into the champions league next week.If anyone follows the Pickford card it’s best to place before kick off as inplay he’ll be around 2/1.
Chelsea v West Ham
Btts at 4/5
Spurs v Fulham
Over 2.5 goals at 4/6
Over 3.5 goals at 13/8
Over 4.5 goals at 7/2
Aston Villa v Man City
Man City to win -1.5 Asian Handicap at 1.990
Best of luck
Hi Macca,
If not already placed, you can get Jordan Pickford to be carded @ 15/2
with W/Hills, I’ve Jumped on it .How he didn’t get booked the other night
I don’t know.
Cheers williegee will have a look a lot better price than b365.Yeah the ref was to lenient surprising given they have been told to clamp down on it.fingers crossed.
Red card on Merseyside and in Glasgow double? Worth a dabble surely
7 cards the last time they played at Goody.
Red card in the 3 derbies
Everton Celtic and Milan 66/1 sky bet special
Sky have boosted salah to have a shot on target evens.
Hills have boosted Liverpool to win evens again. Both will have maximum stakes 😉
Just had a message from Bet365. They are boosting Roberto Firmino to have a shot on target to evens (max tenner on my account)
Aston villa vs man city.
Haaland to score 3 or more
17/2.
got to come in a few more times this season.
Gl
Yverdon v Bellinzona
Swiss Challenge League 18:30
This is a stats based bet as I know very little (nothing) about either of these teams. Goals look good here though, Yverdon have seen Btts & o2.5 goals in all 6 league games so far. Goals in the games 3,6,4,5,4,3. Bellinzona have seen Btts & o2.5 goals in 3 of last 4 league games. Goals in their 6 league games have been 1,2,5,5,4,4. Both saw btts & o2.5 land in their recent cup games also.
BTTS & o2.5 match goals 20/21
O3.5 goals 6/4
O4.5 goals 10/3 all bet365
Also, hopefully for a little bonus…Yverdon have seen at least 1 penalty taken in 5 of 6 games. 3 of 6 for Bellinzona
Pen taken 6/4 skybet
Good luck all
The last 3 meetings between Dortmund and Hoffenheim have seen both sides net,o3.5gls and 2+ cards each.
Both sides are in the top 5 for cards collected after 4 rounds, Dortmund have collected 6 yellow in 2 home games and Hoffenheim have collected 8 yellow in 2 away days.
Waiting to see what referee will be in the middle as the Bundesliga don’t announce it until the day of the match. If the ref is B.Cortus,C.Dingbert or F.Brych and cards are sure be on the agenda
Again cards could be on the agenda at Benfica tonight. The visitors Vizela have racked up 17 yellow and a red in 4 league matches. Up against a Benfica side that will no doubt dominate proceedings will draw plenty of foul play.
The referee isn’t shy of a card either,Fábio Veríssimo has shown 18 yellow in his first 3 league matches.
Benfica love a corner too having notched 37 in their first 4 league matches, averaging exactly 10 at home. Vizela gave up 10 corners at home to Porto while gaining a solitary effort themselves so there could be value in the corner handicap market also
Siebert is the referee
Cheers Sand,could be worse but he did dish out 10 yellow a couple of weeks ago in a European conference league qualifier
Braunschweig – Nurenberg over 9,5 match corners odd 1.55
I expect many, many corners here
Over 11 corners

Ayacucho v Sport Boys
21:30
Peruvian Primera Division
BOTH teams to score 4-5 NAP/NB *****
(**double stake **)
Side bet
BTTS and over 2.5 goals 5-4
Both at bet365…..
Ayachucho haven’t won in 22 games, were bottom last season and are bottom this season and yet are 8-15 to win 🤔
They have conceded in their last 20 league games.
Ayachucho seen BTTS in 15 of the their last 20 home league games and conceded in all 20
So they should concede.
Sport boys have kept 1 clean sheet in their last 19 away games
So they should concede.
They have met here 7 times in league games, 6 were BTTS and sport boys scored in all 7.
I would price this about 4-7 based on the stats 🤔
Prediction 1-2
🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
