Chris Hutcheon pinpoints the money making opportunities in the Premier League over the New Year. Live scores | Compare odds |
Live on Sky Sports: Tues 12:30. Everton v Leicester. The New Year begins with a clash at Goodison Park, with Everton hoping to bounce back from Saturday’s narrow defeat at the hands of Brighton.
The Toffees are a 21/20 chance with bet365 to claim three points against a Leicester team who had the audacity to beat Manchester City and Chelsea over the festive period.
The Foxes are therefore capable of winning on Merseyside and BetVictoroffer 3/1 about City landing the spoils, with the draw trading at 12/5 with Ladbrokes.
Neither side keep many clean sheets and Paddy Power offer 4/5 that both teams find the net, with Jamie Vardy a 21/4 chance with Unibet to break the deadlock.
Live on Sky Sports: Tues 17:30. Cardiff v Tottenham. Cardiff City start 2019 in a fairly healthy position after accumulating eighteen points from their opening twenty top flight matches.
The Bluebirds are hosting Tottenham and they are 13/2 (bet365) to pull off a victory against a team who lost at home to Wolves in their previous top flight clash.
Spurs had previously been going great guns and Unibet have 1/2 that the Premier League title hopefuls bounce back at the Cardiff City Stadium, having previously been rampant against Everton and Bournemouth.
Ladbrokes offer a tempting 13/10 that Tottenham lead at half-time and full-time in this televised encounter, with Harry Kane priced at 12/1 with William Hill to bag a hat-trick and these are the sort of games where the England striker generally fills his boots.
Arsenal were badly exposed at Anfield when losing 5-1 against Liverpool although they have a winnable clash against Fulham on New Year’s Day and BetVictor chalk up 4/11 about the Gunners.
It must be said that the defence looks vulnerable and William Hill offer 8/1 about a win for the Cottagers who landed a last-gasp win over Huddersfield in their most recent match.
