There are 2 English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
BURNLEY v FULHAM
Both of these sides are struggling towards the bottom end of the table with Burnley currently 16th and Fulham 18th, but a full 8 points behind them with both having played 23 matches.
Burnley are coming off a convincing 3-0 away win over Crystal Palace and prior to that they drew 1-1 at home with Brighton. Their home form is a bit hit and miss with 4 wins and 2 draws in their 11 matches and Burnley home games are the lowest scoring in the Division, averaging just 2 goals each and if you have been backing over 2.5 goals in these 11 matches you would only have collected on 3 occasions.
Fulham got a much needed victory when they stunned Everton 2-0 away last time out. That broke a 12 match run without a win. Somewhat surprisingly Fulham have now gone 5 away matches without defeat although 4 of those have been draws and Fulham away games would also have seen punters collect in only 3 of 11 matches had they been backing over 2.5 goals.

Burnley 39/20
Draw 43/20
Fulham 16/10
Suggested Bet: Burnley win at 39/20
Burnley would have taken a lot from their win over Crystal Palace and although Fulham have a habit of getting points on the road I think Burnley will be too strong.
EVERTON v MANCHESTER CITY
Everton are 7th on the table, but they have only won 1 of their last 5 matches and most recently lost 2-0 at home to Fulham. Their home form has been patchy this season with 4 wins and 2 draws in 11 starts and they haven’t won at home in their last 4.
Manchester City are cruising at the top of the table and are coming off 11 straight wins most recently 3-0 at home over Tottenham. Their last away games were at Liverpool and Burnley both won by more than a goal. City have taken a while to find their goal scoring form this season and looking at their away games they average only 2.5 goals each and 7 of the 11 matches would have seen profits if you had been backing under 2.5 goals.

Everton 8/1
Draw 17/4
Manchester City 7/20
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 Goals at 23/20
Manchester City have a great record against Everton and have won their last 5 League matches in succession and this is reflected in their short price. I am expecting Everton to adopt a fairly conservative defensive approach and think that the value may lie here in under 2.5 goals as City away games have not always been the high scoring affairs we expect.
