- By A.J. Ryder on December 23, 2015 04:37 GMTAston Villa then take on West Ham and they come in as the slim favourites with an 8/5 listing up against the Hammers 9/5. West Ham have lost a bit of the bounce in their step they opened the season with but they still look like they can beat anybody in the league if they show up and play their best. Look for the draw at a 21/10 margin, and that could fluctuate in the build-up to the match.
Bournemouth get the edge over Crystal Palace here with the bookmakers listing them at a 13/10 margin while the London club are trading at a straight-up 2/1 price. The draw sits at a 23/10 margin.
Chelsea are significant favourites to get the better of Watford here and they are available at a price of about 4/9 to do so. It will be interesting to see just how well the team performs here seeing as though they won their last match without Mourinho in charge and reversed a bad run of recent form. Watford can be backed at a 13/2 margin and the draw sits at 10/3.
Liverpool take on Leicester City and this one will be closed watched since you expect that Leicester’s good run of recent form will continue it’s worth looking into them at a hefty 14/5 price tag. The Reds are a short-priced 17/20 and look like they should win but many teams simply can’t match the Foxes grit.
Manchester City are the biggest favourites of the entire Saturday with a 1/5 listing right now against Sunderland. You expect that City will be looking to get some better results after slipping up against Arsenal and now needing to pick up points on the regular since they are no longer considered to be the odds-on favourites for the league championship in May.
