Bournemouth are priced at 19/5 to pull off a shock by SkyBet. Their midweek victory over Huddersfield ended a four-game loss streak. In that match, they only had 33% possession, proving they can catch teams on the counter attack. Callum Wilson has been the shining star in their squad this season with 8 goals and 5 assists.

Defensively, Bournemouth have a lot of improving to do and this match will be another tough test on their defensive line. They have conceded 22 goals in 15 matches. For Bournemouth to win and both teams to score, SkyBet are offering 7/1.

Liverpool are priced at 4/6 to continue their unbeaten campaign with another win. Their play style has come under some scrutiny as they are less free flowing and more organised however they seem more poised at the back this season. They currently have the best defensive record in the league with just six goals conceded. Despite Wilson, Liverpool shouldn’t have too many headaches on the weekend. The Reds are a cracking 21/10 to win to nil.

Going forward, Liverpool have been their usual clinical selves despite the lack of last seasons star dust. Mohamed Salah has remained the poster boy for the visitors and has seven goals and four assists so far this season. He is priced at 10/3 to score first. They also have a good goal scoring record against their opponents with three or more goals scored in three of their last four encounters. For Klopp’s side to score 3+ goals, SkyBet are offering 15/8.

West Brom vs Aston Villa
Friday 7th December 2018
SkyBet Championship, The Hawthorns

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT

West Bromwich Albion will entertain city rivals Aston Villa in what promises to be a fierce derby match in the SkyBet Championship. The leagues two highest scoring sides will clash.

The Baggies will be hoping to bounce back from a frustrating 1-1 draw with Brentford on Monday night. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will be hoping to continue their high scoring form after their dominant 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough.

West Brom are priced at 13/10 to win in front of a home crowd by SkyBet. The hosts currently boast the league’s best scoring record with 42 goals. 64% of those goals are at the Hawthorns. They have both Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez to help with that stat, who have managed 9 goals each this season. Rodriguez has been getting more game time recently and is 4/1 to score first, the same as the aforementioned Gayle.

Defensively, Darren Moore remains a frustrated man as his side have kept just one clean sheet all season. The Baggies have the worst defensive record in the top six and face the most prolific scorers other than themselves. West Brom to win and both teams to score is a tempting 5/2.

Aston Villa are priced at 19/10 by SkyBet to continue their impressive form. Dean Smith unbeaten five match record, in which they have scored a whopping 17 goals. Amongst the action has been loanee striker Tammy Abraham. The youngster has bagged seven goals in his last four matches and is 11/8 to score anytime.

One stat that won’t please Dean Smith is his clubs record at the Hawthorns, as they have failed to win in their last six visits.

His side will have to get their act together defensively. Along with their impressive scoring has come some pretty torrid defending. They have conceded seven in their last three matches. This match has all the promise for a goal fest. For both teams to score in both halves, SkyBet are offering 11/2.

The referee for this match will be Darren England. The official has averaged  42.3 booking points in his 13 Championship matches. He has also averaged one red card every five matches.
