There are 3 English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday night and we suggest a bet in each of them.
BURNLEY V LEICESTER
Both of these sides are coming off disappointing defeats, Burnley getting hammered 4-0 away at Tottenham and Leicester going down 3-1 at home to Arsenal despite taking the lead in the first 5 minutes. Leicester are still 3rd on the table and fortunately for them the teams around them also failed to collect points.
Burnley are sitting in 15th and look certain to avoid relegation, but have only won 1 of their last 5 matches. Leicester’s away form has been stand out this season with 9 wins and 3 draws in 13 matches.
Looking at goal stats, Burnley home games have been the lowest scoring in the Division, averaging just 1.8 goals each and 10 of the 13 matches would have seen you collect a profit backing under 2.5 goals.

Burnley 59/20
Draw 47/20
Leicester 21/20
Suggested Bet: Leicester win at 21/20
Leicester were outplayed by Arsenal at home, but there were some decent patches in there for them and they can beat a Burnley side that looks likely to struggle after that heavy defeat to Tottenham.
SHEFFIELD UNITED v ASTON VILLA
Sheffield United are bottom of the table and certain to be relegated. They have now lost 4 matches in a row, most recently going down 2-0 at home to Liverpool and they failed to score in their last 3 games.
They face an Aston Villa side that sits 9th on the table and got back on the winning track with a 1-0 away win over Leeds on the weekend. Sheffield United have been outscored by just over 2 goals to 1 at home this season and 4 of the last 5 Aston Villa games have had 2 goals or less in them.

Sheffield United 57/20
Draw 12/5
Aston Villa 21/20
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, Sheffield United 0, Aston Villa 1 at 21/4
I was tempted to back Villa for the win, but there were parts of Sheffield United’s game which impressed me against Liverpool and I am going to go for a low scoring victory for Villa in the Correct Score Market.
CRYSTAL PALACE v MANCHESTER UNITED
Palace currently sit 13th on the log and they are coming off a goalless draw at home to Fulham. Prior to that they beat Brighton 2-1 on the road.
Manchester United are 2nd on the log, 12 points behind leaders, Manchester City and just 1 point clear of 3rd place Leicester. They have put together a 6 match unbeaten run, but 4 of those games have been draws including their last match, a goalless draw at Chelsea. United are undefeated on the road this season winning 8 and drawing 5 of 13 starts, but they have drawn 4 of their last 5 away from Old Trafford.
