MAN CITY bounced back well from defeat at Sunderland by thrashing Liverpool and Man United will be looking to do the same at Newcastle tonight after thier Blackburn shocker.
The Reds are unbeaten in 18 against Newcastle and have kept five clean sheets in a row away from home.
You can have 3-4 with Paddy Power on an away win while Newcastle are a biggest 9-2 at Chandler.
Alan Pardew's men have faltered after a great start with two home defeats in their last three.
Man United have conceded just three goals on the road all season so are a possibility to win to nil (2-1, bet365).
I'd be all over it if it wasn't for Demba Ba who always looks likely to score and was unlucky to net in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
Alex Ferguson's men should have won that game after outscoring their rivals 29-8 and can make up for it at St James'.
Wayne Rooney will start after being left out against Blackburn for “training poorly” and he'll be determined to show his worth. The striker has hit six goals in six games v Newcastle and is 11-10 at Paddy Power to score tonight, 9-2 at Chandler to do so first.
Brilliant Ba is 12-5 at Stan James to score and 7-1 with Paddy Power and Betfred to break the deadlock.
The other game sees Everton entertain Bolton and it has the look of an unders game.
I can see Everton edging it but I have a problem backing them at a biggest 4-7 with Paddy Power – and they are as short as 4-9 with bet365.
Bolton, back at the foot of the table, are 13-2 at bet365, Betfred and Chandler.
Under 2.5 goals pays 10-11 at Ladbrokes and HT draw/ FT Bolton could be worth a look at 7-2.
Landon Donovan is eligible to start for Bolton after arriving on loan from the MLS for the second time and is he does consider the American, a big hit at Goodison last time round, at 6-1 with Ladbrokes and Betfred to score first.

i went with betfreds enhanced odds last nite on man c. sunderland. spurs @13/2 and looking to place a small wager tonight. 2 0 united 1 0 everton anyone?
I don’t think you’ll be far away with those but your chances of getting up a correct score double are always slim
Rooney/Donovan 1st scorer double for me.
Rooney – 3/1
Donovan – 9/2
Tenner on it :-)
ba and howard 1st scorer double now that would be nice. was going to single ba 1st goal to cover my bet on united 2 0! so how does the donovan scorer go then? i doubt the bookies were giving odds on howard.
