Premier League Betting Matchday 4 Preview
SOUTHAMPTON v MANCHESTER UTD
SATURDAY 12:30 pm
No rivalry, but Utd’s loss last weekend, and trouble deciding on penalty takers makes this game a general point of interest. And the early kick off helps for other countries. Style and form is OK for both. Not a great record at home to Man Utd, nor overall.

WEST HAM UTD v NORWICH CITY
SATURDAY 3:00 pm
A real middle road of the games, except for two new to EPL strikers. We love the way Norwich play and West Ham’s unpredictability makes their style fun too. A lot of draws for the Day / Kick-Off time, but Norwich’s recent record at West Ham is grape. But have yet to play them at the Olympic Stadium.

LEICESTER v BOURNEMOUTH
SATURDAY 3:00 pm
A solid Saturday 3pm kick off with medium interest (depending on your Fantasy team), and decent style and form. A lot of draws between the two sides, and no away wins, in the Premier League era anyway.

| Leicester | 10% |

MANCHESTER CITY v BRIGHTON
SATURDAY 3:00 pm
No rivalry, but plenty to admire and like about watching Man City play. And Brighton seem a much side to watch this season. All Man City as you would think. Although the one Brighton goal from their last meeting caused some heart trouble for a little while last season.

NEWCASTLE v WATFORD
SATURDAY 3:00 pm
The low interest game of the weekend, which you could flip and say it is the most interesting given the Watford manager could be sacked if they lose. Watford have a decent record in Newcastle, and over Newcastle in general.
| Team | %Diff since 25/8 |
| Newcastle | 0% |

AVOID
Newcastle win @ $2.50
CHELSEA v SHEFFIELD UTD
SATURDAY 3:00 pm
The way Sheffield Utd have started and the changes at Chelsea mean this a solid medium interest interest game. No head to head from the past 10 seasons, but these two sides have met in three previous season of the EPL in 06/07, 92/93, 93/94. The record is 3-3, Chelsea winning the last three matches.

CRYSTAL PALACE v ASTON VILLA
SATURDAY 3:00 pm
Bottom half ladder rivals in a bit of a Meh game. Crystal Palace seem to hold the recent advantage over Aston Villa here. Although Villa were woeful in their last few seasons in the EPL.

BURNLEY v LIVERPOOL
Saturday 5:30 pm
A lot of interest in this match revolves around how great Liverpool are going. But not forgetting the sterling work from Ashley Barnes from Burnley. Liverpool look a touch more open at the back this season. Especially with Adrian in goal. Not quite as Liverpool-heavy as one would expect. The game results on Saturdays and August are evenly spread.

LEFT FIELD BETTING
Will there be a penalty awarded – Yes. @ $2.45
EVERTON v WOLVES
Sunday 2:00pm
A meeting between two sides battling for the upper midfield positions. Fair to say that neither side has been spectacular or bad so far this season. Lots of draws and Everton wins of late, the stats on day of the week and kick off time points to sharing of the points.
| Team | %Diff since 25/8 |
| Everton | 5% |

The game that has just about anything. Pretty even between the two. interestingly, September and 4:30pm kick off.
