Cardiff 2.01/1 v West Ham 4.3100/30; The Draw 3.613/5
The momentum is most definitely with Cardiff ahead of this fixture, even if some key Opta stats aren't.
The Bluebirds have a new manager, which generally gives a side an immediate lift, and they recorded an excellent away win at in-form Newcastle last week in the FA Cup. Now they host a West ham side in turmoil having scored none and conceded 11 in their last two away games.
But Opta tell us that Cardiff have won just one of their last 10 home meetings with West Ham, while the Hammers have won their last five meetings in all competitions between the two sides.
Current form is far more important than historical facts however, and although Cardiff haven't been in great form themselves of late they've still been better than Sam Allardyce's hapless Hammers who have lost five league away games on the spin, plus those two recent cup thumpings.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a good record against West Ham as a player and I'm backing him to do so as a manager too.
Recommended Bet: Back Cardiff to Win @ 2.01/1
Everton 1.412/5 v Norwich 10.519/2; The Draw 5.04/1
Apart from their Boxing Day blip against Sunderland, Everton have been very good at Goodison Park this campaign, winning six and drawing three of their other nine games. In fact the Toffees have lost just two games all season, less than any other club in the Premier League.
But there is a slight worry here if you believe in bogey teams/managers. Opta tell us that Everton have failed to beat Norwich in any of their last five meetings, and that Canaries boss Chris Hughton is unbeaten against the Toffees in the Premier League (five games).
Like the Cardiff game I believe there's a lot of worth in ignoring those Opta stats for this clash however as it will require a brave person to oppose Roberto Martinez' men here.
In the reverse fixture on the opening day of the season Norwich scored with just their two shots on target, whereas Everton had seven shots on target, scoring two. Everton have gone on to prove they are a very good team since that day while Norwich have struggled at times, and now that we're at Goodison Park I can't see any other outcome than a comfortable home win.
Recommended Bet: Back Everton -1 to Win @ 2.26/5 (best bet)
Fulham 2.245/4 v Sunderland 3.7511/4; The Draw 3.412/5
Having watched Sunderland a few times this season the conclusion I keep coming back to is that they don't have a cutting edge whatsoever, which probably goes someway to explaining why they are the second lowest scorers in the Premier League with just 15 goals.
The Black Cats are a decent side however, and on three or four occasions this season they've dominated games without being able to find the back of the net. In midweek against Manchester United they needed an own goal and a penalty to get across the line, but that goes to show that virtually anything can happen in football, mostly when you least expect it.
Fulham have been very poor at Craven Cottage this season, Opta telling us that they've conceded a league high 18 goals on home soil this campaign, losing six of their 10 fixtures.
This game is a real six-pointer, Gus Poyet's men really can't afford to lose it and I don't think they will. A low-scoring affair is probably the way to play but I'm going to take a chance on the away win. Fulham are vulnerable at home while Sunderland are unbeaten in four away from home. That's good enough for me.
Recommended Bet: Back Sunderland to Win @ 3.7511/4
Southampton 1.834/5 v West Brom 5.04/1; The Draw 3.8514/5
There's no denying that Southampton have had an extremely tough set of fixtures since they thrashed Hull at the beginning of November, but winning just one of their last nine league games will hardly have done wonders for their confidence.
The Saints have gone from regularly keeping clean sheets at St Mary's to a side that are conceding far too many goals. Opta tell us that they've gone five home games without keeping a clean sheet now, conceding 11 goals in that time, and that they also have a pretty poor record against West Brom.
Southampton have scored just once in their last four top-flight clashes with West Brom, and although they are a much better side than at any time in those previous meetings I can't bring myself to backing Mauricio Pochettino's men at odds-on given their current run of form.
The Baggies on the other hand are unbeaten in the league since they sacked Steve Clarke, and although last week's FA Cup loss was a huge disappointment I can see them getting on the scoresheet at St Mary's. So in what many people are expecting to be a low-scoring game I believe backing both sides to find the back of the net represents a solid wager.
Recommended Bet: Back Both teams to Score @ 1.865/6
Tottenham 1.42/5 v Crystal Palace 10.519/2; The Draw 5.14/1
Tottenham are back in form, well in the Premier League anyway, and you can certainly excuse their FA Cup defeat away to Arsenal last week.
Under Andre Villas-Boas you fancied Spurs to get the better of lesser rivals but you couldn't see an avalanche of goals. That view has slightly changed under Tim Sherwood. I can definitely see Tottenham scoring more goals against clubs they ought to be beating, but whether they can keep them out at the other end is another matter.
Under Sherwood's management Tottenham have averaged exactly three goals per game (nine scored, six conceded) and I envisage that trend continuing at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
In terms of winning the game however I wouldn't want to be lumping on the home side at 1.42/5. Opta tell us that Crystal Palace have a good record away to Spurs, not losing in their last four league visits to the Lane. Tony Pulis' men will give it a good go I sense, and that should open this game up to be an entertaining affair.
Recommended Bet: Back Over 3.5 goals @ 3.211/5
