Back 11/4 Bournemouth to beat Leeds and Man City to win at Burnley at 9/4

Paul Higham previews Wednesday's Premier League double header where he is backing 11/43.75 Bournemouth to win a shootout against Leeds and Man City to avoid the Burnley banana skin and he has found a way to be Pep's side at 9/43.25 to go to the top of the Premier League table.

Two in-form teams meet on the south coast so this should be a good game. Leeds look to have fired their way out of trouble with wins over Man Utd and Wolves catapulting them eight points clear of the drop zone and looking all but safe. They're still 27/103.70 underdogs at the Vitality though.

And that's because Bournemouth are borderline unbeatable these days, without a Premier League defeat in 13 and coming off back-to-back wins away at Arsenal and Newcastle. So the Cherries are 1/12.00 favourites here.

There's been a lot of draws in that run though, four straight stalemates at home, so the 13/53.60 on the draw is most definitely in-play with the pair drawing 2-2 at Elland Road back in September.

Both Andoni Iraola and Daniel Farke haven't been scared to dig in and play safety-first during recent runs, but they've certainly gone on the attack more lately - Leeds were outstanding in the first half at Old Trafford and Bournemouth took the game to Arsenal and Newcastle.

Styles make fights and more of that recent attacking mindset should provide goals - with the Cherries coming out on top with their extra drop of quality.


Burnley v Man City Tip - Semenyo to help send City top at 9/43.25

Man City are now the 8/131.61 favourites to win the Premier League after beating Arsenal on Sunday, and they're a huge 1/61.17 match favourites at Burnley - where a win would put them top of the table on goals scored and could be a significant psychological blow in the title race.

A Wednesday night trip to Turf Moor does have a banana skin feel to it, but the Clarets are pretty much down and not fighting for their lives, and Scott Parker's tone of resignation after losing at Forest makes you think even the 16/117.00 on a home win looks a little short.

Even the draw is 7/18.00 and at least Burnley have managed five of them at home this season (with just two wins) but Pep Guardiola's experience should mean there's no complacency in this City side that's just found top gear at the right time yet again.

The Clarets have taken the lead in two of their last three and if the crowd are up and Parker gets his side going then I could see them frustrate City at the start, but I've got this as a clinical away victory - with a City win to nil at 10/111.91 the pick of the outrights given how short City are in the betting.

But for a better price I'll add to that with an Antoine Semenyo goal at 5/61.84, given he's already scored against Burnley this season for Bournemouth and that's usually a good sign. As he's managed goals for both City and Bournemouth against Liverpool, Leeds, Fulham and Tottenham already this season.
