THERE are three Premier League tonight with Arsenal aiming for points to stay in the title at Bournemouth and a crucial relegation battle between Crystal Palace and Swansea.
In the other game Stoke entertain a Watford who have injury problems and were torn apart by Spurs on Sunday.
I've already tipped a Palace/Stoke double at 23-10 with Marathonbet on the top tips so let's start there.
Sam Allardyce is still looking for his first win in charge and this is the perfect chance against a Swans side led for the first time by Paul Clement.
The former Derby boss will need time to find his feet and that might came after today's break in league action.
Palace should have beaten Watford with Christian Benteke missing a penalty at 1-0 and I reckon Allardyce will get off the mark despite missing some quality players.
A home win pays 87-100 at Marathonbet and Benteke is 13-10 with Bwin to make amends for his spot failure with a goal.
I'm more confident about Stoke beating a Watford side who conceded four first-half goals at home to Spurs. Stoke have enjoyed an extra day's rest after a decent performance in losing 4-2 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Watford have lost five out if seven and four away matches in a row. The Britannia isn't the place to go looking for a change in fortunes so back Stoke at 4-5 with Ladbrokes or William Hill and consider Stoke to score 2+ at 10-11 with Marathonbet.
The live game should be the best of the three. Bournemouth can be exhilirating or frustrating and while they beat Liverpool at home in a thriller I expect Arsenal to leave with the points.
Arsenal tempt at 4-5 with Stan James but maybe the less risky bet is the Gunners to score 2+ at 8-11 with William Hill just in case Bournemouth – weakened by the absence of Arsenal loan star Jack Wilshere – produce a repeat of their Liverpool heroics when they won 4-3.
I also like over 2.5 goals at 3-4 with Betway and if he starts consider Olivier Giroud to score first at 4-1 with Ladbrokes. The Frenchman will be supremely confident after his goal-of-the season contender against Palace.
