The Daily Acca: An all Premier League 8/1 treble

Magpies to shut up shop

Bet 1: Back Under 2.5 Goals in Newcastle v Man City @ 15/8 - KO 14:00 GMT

Manchester City knocked in seven against Leeds during the week, and if Liverpool had been more clinical against Newcastle, they could have got close to that number.

That being said, Pep Guardiola's side haven't been that clinical in front of goal in a while, as prior to that, they hadn't scored more than three in seven league outings - on five occasions the total was two or less.

Eddie Howe has spoken of resting some key personnel for this game, as he did at Anfield on Thursday. That sounds like a damage limitation strategy to me, and if was offered a 1-0 defeat now, he might be tempted to take it.

More of the same from Wolves

Bet 2: Back Under 2.5 Goals in Wolves v Chelsea @ 7/10 - KO 14:00 GMT

Chelsea's defence has not been living up to its usual high standard in recent weeks, and I think that the turning point was when I tripled up on it in my Fantasy Premier League team.

All jokes aside, the Blues haven't kept a clean sheet since their 4-0 Champions League victory over Juventus in November - and they have played six times since.

Wolves are struggling to find the net though, and the goal in their 1-0 win at Brighton on Wednesday ended a run of four without finding the net.

Their last seven have all seen this selection land, and that includes matches against Chelsea's title rivals, Liverpool and Man City.

Reds to take three points back north

Bet 3: Back Liverpool @ 4/7 - KO 16:30 GMT

Team news is a bit sketchy ahead of this match, as both teams have players possibly missing with covid related absences.

Liverpool have a much deeper squad though and are the better team. Their only major absentee is probably Virgil van Dijk, and while he is a big loss, the Reds have better cover in that area this season.

Spurs have been better under Antonio Conte, but they have only faced Everton, Leeds, Brentford and Norwich in the league, and the visitors should have far too much firepower for them this afternoon.
