Manchester City will go head to head with Wolverhampton Wanderers this Monday night in Premier League action.

The hosts are currently second and in hot pursuit of league leaders Liverpool who they beat 2-1 in their last Premier League encounter. Meanwhile Wolves are in ninth and are enjoying a stress-free first campaign back in England’s top flight.

Manchester City are heavy favourites with SkyBet and are priced at 1/5 to win. Pep Guardiola’s side have been a formidable force in recent weeks and their last outing in the EFL Cup proved that. They beat Burton Albion 9-0 and look raring to catch up to Liverpool in the Premier League. Their attacking force is formidable, and no one has been more dangerous to opposition defences than Sergio Aguero. The Argentine has 10 goals for the season and is 3/1 to score first this Monday.

The Citizens have been very impressive at home. In their 11 matches at the Etihad, they have conceded just 10 goals. They are priced at 5/6 to win to nil.

Wolves are priced at a huge 12/1 to get a win this Monday night. Nuno Santo’s side are fresh from their FA Cup delight with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool. They have also impressed so far this season, especially against the top six sides. Raul Jiménez has been the stand out figure spearheading the attack. The Mexican has 6 goals this season and is priced at 7/2 to score anytime.

Wolves have proved tough to beat on their travels. They have lost just one of their last five away matches and wont their last away outing in an impressive 3-1 victory over Spurs. SkyBet are offering a huge 28/1 for Wolves to win and both teams to score.

The referee for this match will be Craig Pawson. The official is not frightened to produce a card and has averaged 48.8 booking points in his 12 Premier League matches.

Everton vs Bournemouth – Match Preview

Everton vs Bournemouth
Sunday 13th January 2019
FA Premier League, Goodison Park

Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 14:15 GMT

Everton will host Bournemouth in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon.

Both teams are occupying midtable positions in the league standings. They also share similar form. Everton have lost four of their last five matches whilst Bournemouth have lost three, drawn one and won one.

Everton are priced at 3/4 to win this match by SkyBet. The toffees have struggled for consistency during the season and enter this match on the back of two 1-0 losses in the league. Their forward line has been rather clinical this season however with both Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson leading by example. The Brazilian forward has nine goals this season whilst the Icelandic midfielder has eight. Richarlison is a nightmare for any defence with his pace whilst Sigurdsson is a danger from set pieces and you can get odds of 7/2 for both of them to score.

Everton have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight matches. For both teams to score and Everton to win, SkyBet are paying out at odds of 21/10.

Bournemouth are priced at 10/3 to get three points away from home. Bournemouth are to be without new record signing Dominic Solanke who has sustained a thigh injury. In his immediate absence heads will turn to the ever-prolific Callum Wilson. Wilson has scored nine goals so far this season and is priced at 2/1 to score anytime this Sunday.

Their last three matches in all competitions has seen both teams score. Their defence this season would suggest that Everton are likely to find the net as they have conceded 40 goals in 21 games. SkyBet are offering 13/2 for both teams to score and the away side to win.

The referee for this match will be Anthony Taylor. The official is one of the more lenient in the Premier League and has averaged 30 booking points in his 14 league matches.

Everton vs Bournemouth will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football HD with kick off at 14:15 GMT.

Prediction:- Everton 2 – 1 Bournemouth
– The home side are in dire need of a win and the visitors are depleted in numbers.

Suggested Tips – Everton vs Bournemouth – (BET365):

  • Correct score: Everton to win 2-1 – (link no longer available).
  • First Goalscorer – Richarlison – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Everton vs Bournemouth – (SKYBET):

League Two side Newport County will entertain Leicester City in FA Cup action this Sunday evening. Newport enter this match in poor form with 3 losses and one draw in their last four matches in all appearances. Meanwhile Leicester have three wins from their last four matches and sit 7thin the Premier League table. Newport County are priced at 17/2 to win this match by SkyBet. The Welsh outfit are currently 12thin League Two going steady. In the first round of this competition they saw off Metropolitan Police 2-0. Then in the second round they faced Welsh rivals Wrexham where they needed a replay to beat them 4-0. Both Jamille Matt and Padraig Amond scored in the 4-0 drubbing of Wrexham and are the clubs two highest scorers this season in the league. They share odds of 11/4 to score anytime. Newport have not had a great season defensively. In the league they have conceded 42 goals in 25 games. They will face the hardest attack all season when they face the Foxes, so it looks unlikely they will keep a clean sheet. They are 18/1 to win and both teams to score.
