Walter's most intriguing long shot of the weekend;

Recommended Bet: Back Everton above a fair value 5.69/2

Everton and Barcelona both look over-priced using Walter Toner's Performance Index algorithm, while Arsenal could also offer a spot of value against Liverpool. Here are our man's pre-Christmas wagers...

Merry Christmas to my readers. Thanks for your loyalty.

We had nicely positive results last week but losses by Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester were disappointing. As for the Palace game, Christian Benteke was certainly long overdue to find the back of a net somewhere, while the Foxes were ripe for a let down after some fine play
