We take a look at the 3 English Premier League fixtures taking place on Thursday night and suggest a bet in each.

EVERTON v CRYSTAL PALACE

Everton know that a victory here will ensure their safety, but they haven't been in great form of late, losing 3-2 at home to Brentford last time out and drawing 0-0 away at Watford prior to that.

They face a Crystal Palace side that is assured of English Premier League football next season and has drawn 2 and won 2 of their last 4 games most recently drawing 1-1 at Aston Villa.

Only 8 of the 18 Everton home games would have delivered you a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals and 50% of the Palace games have reached the 3 goal mark.

Crystal Palace beat Everton 3-1 earlier in the season.

Everton 9/10

Draw 26/10

Crystal Palace 33/10

Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 10/11

I considered the Everton win here as they certainly are the more desperate team, but what caught my eye was the head-to-head stats showing that the last 4 League matches between the sides has seen both teams find the net.

ASTON VILLA v BURNLEY

Aston Villa are 14^th on the log and safe from relegation, but Burnley are currently 18^th and occupy the final relegation spot.

Villa drew their last game 1-1 at home to Crystal Palace and prior to that lost 2-1 at home to Liverpool so they are not in the greatest of form, but neither are Burnley who would have been disappointed to lose their last two games 1-0 at Tottenham and 3-1 at home to Aston Villa. 11 of the 18 Aston Villa home games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers, but only 7 of the 18 Burnley games have reached the 3 goal mark.

Aston Villa 21/20

Draw 26/10

Burnley 27/10

Suggested Bet: The draw at 26/10

Villa are worthy favourites here, but Burnley will certainly be highly motivated and I think they will gladly take a point out of this one, something I give them a decent chance of doing.

CHELSEA v LEICESTER CITY

Chelsea are currently 3^rd on the log winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1 of their 5. Last time out they beat Leeds 3-0 on the road and prior to that drew 2-2 at home with Wolves. They haven't been particularly impressive at home this season winning just 8 of their 17 matches.

Leicester are currently 9^th on the table and have climbed up the log after back-to-back victories, 5-1 away at Watford and 3-0 at home to Norwich. That broke a run of 5 successive matches without a victory. Looking at Leicester’s away form they have won 4 times in 18 attempts on the road.

9 of the 17 Chelsea home matches have delivered for overs backers and 12 of the 18 Leicester away games have had over 2.5 goals in them.

These sides met at Leicester earlier in the season with Chelsea winning 3-0 and last season Chelsea won this fixture 2-1.

Chelsea 4/10

Draw 4/1

Leicester City 13/2

Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 29/20

Chelsea are guaranteed a Top 4 finish this season and Leicester will be looking to continue a good run of form. I think this is the game where we are going to get goals at both ends and hopefully plenty of them.
