Live on BTSport1: Wed: 19:45 Watford host Chelsea in tonight’s TV game in the Premier League whilst Newcastle travel to Everton. Live scores | Compare odds |
Two Premier League games take place on Wednesday, with the BT Sport cameras at Vicarage Road and they might capture a rare defeat for Guus Hiddink.
The Hornets look a big price at 16/5 (William Hill) to claim the scalp of a Chelsea team who are clearly below-par this season.
Chelsea are even money (bet365) and will be popular at that price after claiming a 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, although they were helped by an early red card for the home side.
The draw is a 23/10 chance (Ladbrokes) and it’s a result that would please both managers, with Watford wanting to stay well away from the drop zone and Chelsea looking to keep their unbeaten run going.
Diego Costa has improved markedly in recently weeks and he’s the 4/1 favourite (Paddy Power) to break the deadlock although Odion Ighalo is 7/1 (Winner) and the Nigerian has been red-hot in the top flight this term.
Over at Goodison Park, the natives are restless after Everton fluffed their lines against Manchester City during the week.
Indeed, the Toffees have been poor for the past few weeks and it’s a brave man who backs the Merseyside team at 4/6 (Paddy Power) for this clash.
Newcastle are in the bottom three although their four recent away defeats have all been by a slender margin and 17/4 (bet365) looks a tasty price about the visitors.
At the very least, the 16/5 (BetVictor) about the game ending all square is surely better than backing a home win, with Andros Townsend set to make his debut and there’s also Jonjo Shelvey now in the team.
Townsend is 10/1 (Ladbrokes) to open the scoring on his Magpies debut, although the most popular First Goalscorer bet will be on Romelu Lukaku at odds of 9/2 (William Hill).
