There are 3 English Premier League matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.
LIVERPOOL v NEWCASTLE
Liverpool are 7th on the log and are now unbeaten in their last 4 games, most recently drawing 1-1 away at Leeds.
Their last home game broke a 6 match losing streak and saw them beat Aston Villa 2-1. Games at Anfield this season have averaged 2.7 goals each with 9 of the 16 games delivering profits for those backing over 2.5 goals.
Newcastle are 15th on the table and are undefeated in their last 3 with back-to-back victories at home to West Ham and away at Burnley. Goals have being flowing in Newcastle games and both teams have found the back of the net in 4 of their last 5 fixtures and over 2.5 goals has arrived in their last 4.
These sides played out a goalless draw earlier this season, but prior to that they played 4 League matches in succession, all of which reached at least 4 goals.

Liverpool 1/4
Draw 21/4
Newcastle 21/2
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 13/10
I am basing this mainly on the fact that recent Newcastle games have had plenty of goals in them and I am also expecting Liverpool to find their scoring touch at home sooner rather than later.
WEST HAM v CHELSEA
This match sees 4th placed Chelsea visit 5th placed West Ham in a game that could be critical to both teams chances of making the top 4.
West Ham were very disappointed to lose their last match 3-2 away at Newcastle and goals have certainly flowed in recent West Ham encounters with their last 4 games all having at least 5 goals in them. They have been strong at home this season with 9 wins and 4 draws in 16 matches.
Chelsea drew 0-0 at home to Brighton last time out and prior to that hammered Crystal Palace 4-1 on the road having lost 5-2 at home to West Brom prior to that. They have lost 4 times in 16 away matches this season and are undefeated in their last 5 games on the road.
Chelsea won the reverse fixture 3-0 and West Ham won this fixture 3-2 last season.

West Ham 7/2
Draw 11/4
Chelsea 8/10
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 19/20
This bet absolutely jumps off the page based on recent West Ham matches and most of the Chelsea’s recent League games have also had goals in them.
SHEFFIELD UNITED v BRIGHTON
Sheffield United lost 1-0 away at Wolves last time out and they now look guaranteed to finish last on the table. They have won 3 of 16 home matches this season with 1 draw and 12 defeats.
Brighton are 16th on the log and are coming off back-to-back draws, away at Chelsea and at home to Everton and there were no goals in either of those 2 games.
The last 2 meetings between these sides finished 1-1.

Sheffield United 17/4
Draw 26/10
Brighton 15/20
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 1-1 at 11/2.
It is not a game that I am going to get too involved in and I will go for a speculative play that we have our 3rd successive 1-1 between the sides.
