Everton v Manchester United: Best bets for Sunday and Monday’s Premier League games
Our betting expert with a 13/1 punt for Goodison Park, Tottenham against Aston Villa and Wolves at Fulham on Monday PLUS a Serie A angle
Back James Tarkowski to spark up at Goodison Park this afternoon.
Everton fans have had a cigar on lately under Sean Dyche, but it’s probably fair to assume it went a bit soggy after that 10-point deduction.
Tarkowski is a good aerial-threat fit for the visit of Manchester United (4.30pm) – and his 13/1 (Unibet) ‘anytime scorer’ can relight the fire.
The most cheering football news of a bleak international break was that today’s players are keen on ‘snus’, the tiny teabags of tobacco that you wedge up under your lip in some way.
Why, and what you do next, is a mystery to me. But everyone knows football was better when players smoked and had comb-overs and hangovers and skinny legs.
And we’d all enjoy seeing Harry Kane at the Euros knocking out his trusty briar on the heel of his boot, before solemnly coughing along with the national anthem.
United are coughing up chances. Their Prem xG data is half-a-dozen goals ‘wrong’, with Marcus Rashford most wasteful. Bruno Fernandes has kept himself up to the mark though – and he’s a fair United angle today at 10/3 (Bet365) ‘anytime’.
Aston Villa’s trip to Tottenham (2pm) looks like a three-pipe problem for 1X2 punters, but thankfully there’s a stack of evidence pointing to goals.
James Maddison’s absence is a major blow to Spurs, so best focus on Villa.
John McGinn is flying for club and country and the 11/2 (Paddy) ‘anytime scorer’ is good enough. Ollie Watkins is right too at Evens (Paddy) ‘score or assist’.
You couldn’t really get a cigarette paper between Wolves and hosts Fulham (8pm, tomorrow) a couple of months back – then Wolves took off while the Cottagers faltered, over a tough run of fixtures for both.
Key players banned for both sides muddies the water here, but Wolves’ Mario Lemina could be under the radar a bit, and looks a fun ‘anytime’ longshot at 14/1 (Unibet).
Over in Italy, Inter Milan worldie hunter Hakan Calhanoglu is ripe at 11/2 (Unibet) ‘anytime’ for the Serie A title six-pointer at Juventus (7.45pm).
Last time: Winners at 21/10, Evens, 13/10, 5/6 and 21/20
