There are 3 English Premier League matches taking place on Thursday night and we take a look at them from a betting angle.
WEST BROM v EVERTON
West Brom are sitting 2nd from bottom of the table and they look like relegation certainties. They have shown some better form of late and last time out beat Brighton 1-0 at home and that was on the back of 2 draws, away at Burnley and at home to Manchester United.
Under 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in West Brom’s last 4 League games. West Brom are undefeated in their last 3 home games, but have only won 2 out of 13 home matches this season.
Everton are 7th on the table and have recovered from a mini-slump to win their last 2 games, most recently beating Southampton 1-0 at home and on the road they beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield. Their away form has been excellent this season with 8 wins and 2 draws in 12 matches.
Everton had few problems in the reverse fixture winning 5-2 at home.

West Brom 16/5
Draw 51/20
Everton 9/10
Suggested Bet: Everton win at 9/10
I am more than happy to take this price about an Everton side that is strong on the road, against a West Brom side that deep down knows they have nothing left to play for.
FULHAM v TOTTENHAM
Fulham sit in the final relegation spot, they have given themselves hopes of survival thanks to an unbeaten 5 match run which has seen them win 2 and draw 3 of their last 5 fixtures. They drew 0-0 away at Crystal Palace last time out and their last home game was a 1-0 win over Sheffield United. Their last 6 games have all finished with 2 goals or less in them. Fulham home matches have only averaged 1.9 goals each this season.
Tottenham are 8th on the table and bounced back from a 2 match losing streak to beat Burnley 4-0 at home last time out. Their last 2 away games have been defeats at West Ham and Manchester City.
These sides played to a 1-1 draw at Tottenham earlier this season and last season Tottenham did the double over Fulham winning this fixture 2-1.

Fulham 63/20
Draw 51/20
Tottenham 19/20
Suggested Bet: Tottenham win at 19/20
I am keeping things simple here as I saw enough of Tottenham in the game against Burnley to suggest they have turned the corner and are ready to go on something of a decent run. They have an excellent record at Fulham and I expect that to continue.
LIVERPOOL v CHELSEA
Liverpool broke a 4 match losing run when they beat Sheffield United 2-0 away last time out and they currently sit 6th on the table, 1 points and 1 position behind Chelsea. It is their home form that has let them down the most and they have lost 4 in a row and haven't won at Anfield since mid-December.
Chelsea are undefeated in their last 7 games with 4 wins and 3 draws and they are coming off back-to-back draws at home to Manchester United and away at Southampton.
Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 away earlier in the season, their 4th successive League win over Chelsea.

Liverpool 5/4
Draw 49/20
Chelsea 9/4
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 8/10
I don’t feel I can back any team to win the game with any confidence and I am turning to the goals market for an interest and hoping we have a repeat of last season’s Anfield thriller which finished 5-3 to Liverpool
