Another four English Premier League matches take place on Wednesday including the North London derby between Arsenal and Spurs.
Prices from Sportingbet are correct at the time of publication but subject to change.
Everton 21/10 Draw 22/10 Villa 1.37/1
David Moyes returns to Everton who finished the previous round just 1 point clear of the drop zone and their tally of 15 goals scored is the second lowest in the top flight. It's now 5 league games without a win, 3 draws followed by defeats at home to Forest (2-0) and away at Bournemouth (1-0).
Villa have been picking up regular points at home but have lost each of their last 5 EPL road trips and they remain on the heels of the top 6.
The Verdict
I'm going to make chances on Iliman Ndiaye to score for Everton, mainly in the hope the return of Moyes will at least inspire them to find the net.
Bet: Anytime goalscorer Iliman Ndiaye at 36/10 with Sportingbet
Leicester 26/10 Draw 26/10 Palace evens
Leicester have lost 5 league games in a row, scoring just twice and conceding 14 and they are second bottom, 2 points shy of Ipswich and Wolves.
Palace have lost just 1 of their last 9, there are 5 draws in that sequence and the only blemish was a 5-1 hiding off Arsenal at Selhurst Park.
The Verdict
This is the sort of home game Leicester should be taking something from but they inspire little in the way of confidence. I do think there are goals for both sides though and hopefully at least one more.
Bet: Both teams to score and over 2.5 total goals? Yes at even money with Sportingbet
Newcastle 7/20 Draw 4.25/1 Wolves 13/2
Newcastle have won 5 league games in a row to move up to fifth, scoring 15 goals and conceding just 1. They are also in control of their EFL Cup semi final, 2-0 up on Arsenal with the home leg to come.
Goal difference is keeping Wolves out of the drop zone, they had taken 7 points from 3 matches prior to a 3-0 home defeat to in form Notts Forest last time out.
The Verdict
The Newcastle team news will be worth monitoring with a couple of key men having picked up knocks. Isak is one off them but Anthony Gordon, also in great form isn't and there is a small price boost that took the eye.
Bet: Player shots on target, Anthony Gordon, 2 or more at 13/10 with Sportingbet
Arsenal 4/10 Draw 4.25/1 Spurs 5.75/1
Arsenal finished the previous round of matches in second spot, 6 points shy of Liverpool having played a game more. Liverpool are at forest on Tuesday so the picture will change and recent league form comprises of 6 wins and 4 draws from the last 10, some below par displays have seen them exit the FA Cup and they have a mountain to climb to reach the EFL Cup final.
Spurs defensive injury crisis is well documented and they have taken just 1 point from the last 12 available to slip into the bottom half of the standings. There was encouragement via a 1-0 home win over Liverpool in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi finals but league form badly needs a boost.
The Verdict
Arsenal's recent league record doesn't make bad reading but the performances and results in the cup certainly don't. However until the Spurs first choice defenders return the visitors here are likely to be vulnerable. Arsenal are also missing some key men and after battling to find a bet that can be pressed with confidence I'll settle on a goalscorer play.
If Spurs are to take anything from the match they will need a goal or 2 and Solanke looks as likely as anyone in their ranks.
Bet: Anytime goalscorer Dominic Solanke at 3/1 with Sportingbet
