West Ham to enjoy Fulham trip
Assisted by Opta, Christian Crowther provides tips for Wednesday's five non-televised Premier League tussles..
Everton v West Brom, Wednesday 19:45, Match odds: Everton 1.62, West Brom 6.6, The Draw 4.1
As Opta inform us, this particular match does not produce draws too often as just one of their previous 13 Premier League meetings has ended all square, with Everton winning seven and West Brom securing five wins. With only one loss at home all season, you'd have to fancy the Toffees against the out-of-form Baggies. Steve Clarke's side are winless in their last four league matches as they visit Merseyside.
Recommended Bet: Back Everton to win @ 1.62
Norwich v Tottenham, Wednesday 19:45, Match odds: Norwich 4.8, Tottenham 1.85, The Draw 3.85
Norwich rank bottom of the Premier League form table, having succumbed to five losses and a draw from their last six matches, facilitating a subsequent slide down the table. As Opta tell us, the Canaries' chances of redemption against in-form Tottenham are slim, especially as Spurs arrive replete with Gareth Bale who has already matched his goal tally of nine from last season with seven of those coming on the road.
Recommended Bet: Back Gareth Bale to score @ 3.0
Fulham v West Ham, Wednesday 20:00, Match odds: Fulham 2.28, West Ham 3.5, The Draw 3.5
If there was one fixture likely to transform West Ham's dismal away form then it's a trip across the capital to Fulham's gentile surroundings. As Opta reveal, the Hammers relish visiting Craven Cottage, with only fellow Londoners Arsenal bettering their six Premier League victories there. Furthermore, the Whites have failed to find the net in four of their last eight home games against the Irons.
Recommended Bet: Back West Ham to win @ 3.5
Manchester United v Southampton, Wednesday 20:00, Match odds: Manchester United 1.25, Southampton 14.5, The Draw 7.4
Like most visitors to Old Trafford, Southampton could be in for a rough evening when they make the long trip north. As Opta tell us, United's home record against the Saints is formidable, with the Red Devils only dropping two points in 13 previous Premier League tussles at the Theatre of Dreams. What's more, the league's most free-scoring side have not taken it easy on Southampton in the past; having scored at least twice in eight of their last nine Premier League meetings, including a hat-trick for Robin Van Persie in the reverse fixture this term.
Recommended Bet: Back RVP to score two or more goals @ 3.95
Reading v Chelsea, Wednesday 20:00, Match odds: Reading 7.4, Chelsea 1.52, The Draw 4.7
As Opta point out, in-form Reading tested Chelsea's resolve at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season, leading until the 69th minute until succumbing to three late goals. Chelsea started the proceedings with a Frank Lampard penalty that day, the second of a season-high eight spot kicks to date in 2012/13 for the Blues. With Mark Halsey - who has awarded the second highest amount of top-flight penalties this season - refereeing at the Madejski Stadium, the chances of another one are heightened here.
Recommended Bet: Back there to be a penalty taken @ 3.3
