Hard to separate these two, who both have some strong recent form. Villarreal have won all of their last four away matches, so have proven they have goals on the road. Betis are strong at home, averaging two goals a game so far this season.

Not a bad price if you look at the gap between these two in the table. Forest hold home advantage, but it might not be enough against a rampant Arsenal who head the league and have conceded just 14 goals all season ??" the fewest in the league. Forest had a poor Christmas before winning against a struggling West Ham. This will be harder.

Fulham

@+250

Fulham took all the points when these two met in London earlier this season and look a little overpriced here. They have won four of their last six, drawing the other two, and face a Leeds side that are defensively frail, conceding in all but three matches so far this season.
15:00 Liverpool v Burnley

@+550
Win

Liverpool are getting better and are unbeaten in eight, but they do lack that clinical finishing edge that won them the title last season. Five of the last eight Premier League games the Reds have played have finished in a stalemate. Burnley have to go for this too. They are eight points from safety but have drawn three of their last five.
15:00 Southampton v Hull
Hull
50 WIN
@+379

This looks way over-priced. Southampton have no win in six now and have conceded in four of their last five league games. Hull lost for the first time in six last time at Stoke, having won four of their last five prior to that. Value is definitely with the visitors.
15:00 Tottenham v West Ham
West Ham
50 WIN
@+379
Win
190
Spurs are hard to predict this season and have a poor home record, winning just twice in ten matches so far in the league. West Ham have also been poor and are well in the relegation mire. This is a chance for them to claw a few points back, though. They have little to lose now, and I'm expecting them to be very attack-minded here.
12:30 Man Utd v Man City

@+300

There is a cliché that form means nothing in derbies, and although Man City are way ahead in form figures this season, this could be closer than it first looks. Man Utd, at home and with new management, could be reinvigorated, and if so may get something from this.

Two teams at either side of the table, but there should be chances and goals for both. Hosts West Brom have scored 8 in their last 4 home matches and at least 1 in each of them. Boro are potent away too as they chase the title, scoring 17 in 13 league matches this season.

Was given too much to do when last seen in the Irish Cesarewitch, but has some solid form at this distance and on this course, including victory here in a competitive handicap over a shorter distance in August. This trip is possibly more to his liking too, after a strong staying-on third on testing ground over two miles in the autumn.

Al Akhdoud's away record is poor, with them winless in the six games they've played. They have scored just once in that time, too. Al Khaleej cruised past Damak 4-0 last time and have scored four goals in three of their most recent home matches.

Both sides have plenty of goals in them, and both will be wanting to take an advantage into the return game in February. Chelsea rotated many when winning last time but ought to field their strongest squad as new manager Rosenior seeks to impress. However, Chelsea have conceded in all three of their played matches in this competition. Arsenal still have a lengthy injury list, with Saliba, Caicedo and Hincapié all looking doubtful to play in defence, which may destabilize the Gunners at the back.

This ought to be fairly straightforward for Hearts, who boast a strong home record??"winning seven and drawing three of their ten played. They are still unbeaten at home. St. Mirren have a 66% loss rate on the road and have suffered defeat in three of their last four away games, conceding at least twice in all of those matches.

Newcastle average two goals a game at home in the league. Although this is a cup game, they ??" like City ??" will be keen to finish this in regulation time as the fixture list piles up. City scored ten last time, and although this will be tougher, they are the highest scorers in the PL, so they ought to be worth at least one goal here.

No cupset here, but possibly a big score as Arsenal welcome more players back from injury. Arteta will certainly rotate, but all the big guns will be on the bench if needed. Portsmouth have nothing to lose and will give this a go, but the gulf in class is too big, it seems.

Moderate-looking race and there may not be many who get into it. Alba Du Brath looks the obvious choice on form despite being beaten last time.
