Ipswich 32/10 Draw 2.85/1 Villa 8/10

 

Ipswich started with 2 defeats, at home to Liverpool and away to Manchester City but they have since played out 3 consecutive draws. A home game against Fulham finished 1-1 as did last week's visit to Southampton and in between their trip to Brighton finished without a goal.

 

Villa have 4 wins and 1 defeat against their name and last week's 3-1 home win over Wolves saw them finish the round in third spot, just 1 point off the pace being set by Manchester City. Their 2 road trips saw them get the better of West Ham and Leicester (both 2-1) and their only defeat so far came in their second outing, 2-0 at home to Arsenal.

 

The Verdict:

 

Villa have scored at least 2 goals in every game and with Watkins coming to the party and Duran continuing his goal scoring form from the bench it could be a tough afternoon for the Ipswich defence.

 

Someone has to provide the bullets for the Villa strikers though and Youri Tielemans already has 2 assists to his name this season. I'm hoping he makes that 3 on Sunday.

 

Villa haven't kept a clean sheet in the league so far and I'll chance my arm with Leif Davis to provide an assist for the home side.

 

Bets: Player assists, Youri Tielemans, 1 or more at 7/2 with Betway

Man United 13/10 Draw 2.85/1 Spurs 1.85/1

 

United squandered a number of chances in their 0-0 draw away to Palace last weekend and they remain in mid table with 7 points. Earlier home games delivered a 1-0 win over Fulham on the opening weekend and they subsequently lost 3-0 when Liverpool came to town. Their only other win this season came at Southampton (3-0).

 

Spurs also have 7 points and they were boosted by a 3-1 home win over Brentford last week where Solanke opened his goalscoring account. Away fixtures have been frustrating after they created and missed a number of chances in a 1-1 draw at Leicester and 2-1 defeat at Newcastle.

 

Both teams were in Europa League action in midweek, United drew 1-1 at home to FC Twente and Spurs were 3-0 winners at home to Qarabag

 

The Verdict:

 

I find this a really difficult one to call and will again visit the Player Assist market where James Maddison fits the bill.

 

Bets: Player assists, James Maddison, 1 or more at 26/10 with Betway
